POST MORTEM OVER BODY OF MRS. GORE Ordered by State Department at Washington. , DID NOT COMMIT SUICIDE. No Official Opinion on the Case Wifl Bo Given Out at Fresent?Every Effort Will Do Made to Avoid Clash With French Experts. Paris, Nov. 23.?The Independent post mortem examination over the remains of Mrs. Ellen Go:e made by tho commission of four American doctors appointed by Consul General Gowdy at the instance of the state department at Washington was made this morning at the morgue. It tended to establish the fact that Mrs. Gora did not commit suicide. The physicians found that the bullet onterod tho pupil of the right eye, going through to the right side of the head at less than half an inch elevation from the point of en^v. Tlic body bore no mark3 of a stiwggle and there were no powder marks at the entrance of the wound. Doctors have been given 48 hours In which to consult the official report. Mr. Gowdy, in the meanwhile, has ordered them not to give any official opinion on the case. He Is seeking to avoid a clash with the French experts. Before the doctors separated they agreed to meet later, compare their views and formulate a written report which Is not expected to be completed before tomorrow. The provisional release of DoRydsewskl yesterday is considered as estalishlng tho view of the French authorities of the innocence of the Russian, but he is still under surveillance, and if he attempts to leave this city be will be liable to arrest as a fugitive from Justice. The American officials do not expect that DeRydsewski will be actively prosecuted, although he probably will be arraigned later, on tho minor charge of having possession of a revolver and carelessly participating in the circumstances which caused tho death of Mrs. Gore. Mr oowdy received from the state department today a request for Mrs. Gores relatives to take possession of her ef:ect3. Accordingly, he took charge of two trunks, a good deal of music and a little Jewelry. The articles showed the simple, refined tastes of the deceased. The burial place of the remains of Mrs. Gore has been changed to Eagneux cemetery, owing to its being non-sectarian. Mt. Gowdy has leased a lot there for five yearn, during which the rela--v tives of tho deceased will decide * ' whether they will remove the body to America. GERALD WAS GAME TO THE END.

Probably few of the good people who < listen with rapt attention to the sermon which Is preached to them each Sunday, says the Denver Tost, know that for nearly 300 years Friday has been the time honored day for the pastor to go Into his study, write the ser- < mon which is to furnish "food for < thought" to the congrcgntlon on the | following Sunday. In speaking of this ' custom a clergyman says: i "When Christianity was first promul- < gated, all preaching was done extern- ' poraneously. Such a thing as prewar- : lng a sermon was unknown. Many ! gifted men expressed their views on ; various subjects, then added a few words of good advice to their listeners. : This practice is still continued in the ; Iioinnn Catholic church of the present : day, and I think that a very limited number of the priests ever write a ecr- * moil. Not all ministers, however, ad- : hero to this rule by any means. When t, Henry Ward r.eecher was asked on | what day he prepared his sermon, he : replied, 'On Sunday morning, of ; course.' . "'Well.
