Pans, Dec 23 --Christmas has come and gone in France without the Christmas midnight mars, and personal inquiry would be necessary to find any one who felt keei.lv this deprivation. Privately, midnight mass was celebrated in various places where the devout could assemble, just as there is mass dailv In the church, and the devout attended without any embarrassment whatever, but the spectacle hunters, who have been numerically the greatest factor in the midnight mass, went their several ways without seeming to mind this grave change ordained by the holy church Devout worshipers, to the number of a thousand, made their way to the great Church of the Sacred Heart, in Mont- imarte, where midnight mass was said The Authorite says fervently that next year when tbe peasants leave their cottages and step into the cold night they will see a light on the hill, a light similar to the Star of Bethlehem. Crowds will gather in a barn, open to the winds of heaven, to celebrate a feast to which the churches are closed.

The cure consequently quitted the edifice, which has been closed The question of the legality of the mayor's action is arousing considerable controversy.

Dec. Bessie Hail, aged about thirty-three years, organist of the ReavUle Presbyterian church, committed suicide early this morning by drowning herself in a cistern at the home of her mother in Reavllle. Miss Hill had been suffering from nervous trouble for a brief period. She had been rehearsing for a Christmas cantata, entitled "Santa Claus and Uncle Sam," which presented in the church last night, but withdrew from entertainment last weekT" Early this morning sho told her mother she desired a drink. She refused her mother's offer to go for the water and.

went into the kitchen, where she opened a trap-door over the cistern, cut her throat with a cleaver, and then jumped into the cistern. A few moments later Mrs. Hill became alarmed over her daughter's absence and called to her. Receiving no response she hastened to the kitchen door, only to find it locked. Neighbors were quickly summoned, but the woman was dead when taken from the water.

No reason can be assigned for the deed. Miss Hill was very popular and well to do financially. Her part In the entertainment was taken by another last evening, but her apparent inability to assist in the production is not thought to have weighed upon her mind.

Pepper, many times millionaire, and once owner of famous race horses, who died Monday afternoon at the Waldorf-Astoria, was shipped to-day to Lexington, the home of the Peppers. Mrs. Pepper accompanied it. Coroner Harburger was very much surprised when he learned that Mrs. Pepper had been able to undertake the trip.

Owing to a defect in the death certificate, the coroner liad been notified by the board of health to ascertain the causes of the colonel's death. He held informal proceedings Monday afternoon in the apartment of'Col. Pepper, the twelfth floor of the hotel, and took the testimony of Dr. Richard Gibbons, colonel's physician, and of others in the hotel. Dr.

Gibbons stated that Mrs. Pepper was in danger of a total collapse if questioned by the coroner. "Mrs. Pepper," he said, "Is quite sick, piobably with bronchial pneumonia. Her temperature, notwithstanding that she Is under medical treatment, was, at 9:15 o'clock last night, 1012-5.

She is now somewhat under the Influence of morphine and atroplne. "In view of the fact," said Coroner Harburger, "that Mrs. Pepper could undertake such a journey to-day, it seems atrange, to say the least, that she was absolutely unable, on account of serious sickness, to make a statement last night" Formal Inquiry into Death. As a result of his visit to the apartment on Monday, the coroner ordered the body removed to an undertaker's and notified Dr. O'Hanlon, the coroner's physician, to hold an autopsy.

Dr. gave as his opinion that death was due to fat embolism, resulting from a fracture of the leg. The fracture was due to natural causes. Coroner Harburger said that any further action In the case would be purely formal. Affidavits will be taken from the doctors attending Col.

Pepper, from Dr. Han- Ion, and others connected with the case. The original death certificate set forth that Col. Pepper died of kidney, lung, and heart trouble, and a fracture of the leg. Because of this fracture the health department became suspicious.

They took no chances of having some one accuse them in the future of being lax, if it should develop that the Lexington man had not died a natural death. Last Thursday Col. Pepper was crossing Thirty-third street at Broadway, when he fell. His leg was fractured. He refused medical attention on the spot, although the policeman wanted to summon an ambulance.

Col Pepper was attended by Drs. Janeway, Bull, Caldwell, and Gibbons, all eminent in their profession. Because of the colonel's advanced age and the injury to his leg, the kidney and lung trouble which attacked him after he was confined to his bed took fatal hold of him. Wife Held Him to Success. Col.

James E. Pepper retired from the turf about five years ago, after his beautiful wife, who was Miss Ella Oftutt, a belle of Kentucky, had pulled him out of his financial misfortunes on the track by her shrewd management Among the horses raced by him were King Pepper, Red Pepper, Pure Pepper, and Whisky King. Arthur Featherstone five years ago purchased some of the colonel's horses, and Frank Farrell, just as he was making the American Baseball League a factor In the sports of the country, bought, among other horses. King Pepper. Mrs.

Pepper was largely responsible for the success of her husband. If consideration of his immense distillery interests be dlsregaded, she made him financially. He failed on the turf until Mrs Pepper took hold of affairs. She became "Queen of the American Turf." Her judgment seemed to be Infallible, and after her husband, through her guidance, had retrieved his fortunes, she retired Col. Pepper personally superintended his breeding farm near Lexington.

No detail of management escaped his alert eye. And he conceived the idea of linking his buiness with his pleasures, naming his horses after the name of his corporation. Did Not Race for Money. Among the millionaires who race horses and who watch horses race Col. Pepper was known, even more than the late William C.

Whitney, as a man who did not race his thoroughbreds for money. He put them on the track so that he might experience the thrill which comes of watching one's favorites contend with the favorites of others At Shepshead Bay, Gravesend and tne old Morris Park tracks Col. Pepper's figure was a familiar one. Wearing his broad slouch hat, his trousers baggy at the knees, his coat wrinkled and his features always calm and kindly, he circled around the lawns. Like a true Kentuckian, the colonel honored his horses by engaging a private box at the tracks, so that his friends might enjoy the excitement of the contest as well as himself.

He didn't always occupy these boxes. He loved to thread his way through the howling mob on the lawns, and, in strange contrast to the turbulent scene, he would be cool, calm and contented, whether he won or lost.
