WHERE is mrs. BRENT GONE?
A Little Old Woman Disappears
From Her Boarding House.
She Told a Friend She Would Have
to Choose Between Death and
the Poorhouse.

A little, old woman, who lived in the
attic OF the boarding house of j. G.
Bridaharn, No. 313 Pennsylvania avenue
northwest, has mysteriously disappeared
and the police will probably be notified
to look out for her. She was poverty
stricken, and told friend that she had
recahed the alternative of the poorhouse
or suicide, and that she never would go to
the former. And that is the reason that
her acquaintances-and so far as is known,
the nuiuber- is very limited-fear that she
has wandered away and probably ended
her own life
Her name is Mrs. Brent. Though she had
been in the same clearinghouse off and
on for more than two years her first name
is not known The people VINO met her
on the stairs or stopped in her room a
minute for a chat called her ''Pattie. :"
Why, no one knew. Everyone that met
her called her "Pattie,' and few knew
that her real name was something else.
Mrs. Brent was well educated She had
seen the day when life was easier Ad-
versity overlook her. That was all her
acquaintances ever learned. They did
~'DN NNN
have told, If they had. She spoke OF go-
ing out among friends and working at
times. That was the way she made the
money with which she paid her small
room rent and bought the small supply of
rations that she cooked on the stove which
did the dual duty of furnishing heat for
the room and for preparing her food.
Maybe she was a governess. Her ac-
lois
of the nature of her accomplishments ana
because she spoke Of the children OF her
friends. No one was certain about this,
either.
She was last seen by Mr.. Brdaham one
week ago last Monday. Three days later
her room was visited. The place was cold.
The fire in the stove had died out. on the
top was frying pan that contained t two
eggs that had turned crisp and withcred
The breakfast dishes were on the table.
The breakfast had not been touched. The
key was in the door. When '.Pattie" went
away before she always turned the key
over to her LANDLORD and told him that She
was going.
Her rent was a trifIe in arrears, but that
mattered not to her landlord for she had
always kept it paid and the folks in the
house rather liked; the queer creature and
the rent would have gone long unpaid be.
fore they would have thought of ousting
her. h E4
on account of these conditions under
which she left the people in the house won
dered about it. When it was learned that
she said she had, the alternative of the
poOrh ouse or self-destr uction they be
came apprehensive. Up TO late hour last
night she had not returned and they knew
of no place where to search for her

The CHAMPION DEFEATED
CaSsin Cleverly Won the Skating
Race Last Night.
The Finish in the Mile Event Was
Close and Interestingly Two
Mile Race Tonight.

The first race Of the local championship
Skating contests at the Ice Palace last
evening furnished the biggest surprise
Of the season. Harry Sites, last year s
Champion, was defeated in one of the
Hlosest and prettiest races imaginable
10y Joe Cassin, who only decided to enter
-ghe races during the day. Cassin's skating
was revelation, even TO his lost intimate
friends, who had no idea that he could
lead Sites the way
Owing to the large number Of entries
tcE-the race was divided into two heats,
lhe first and second men in each heat
20 contest in the finals. The first heat
was won by Sites, in good shape, Morris
second, Shearer third, with HaWes last
The second heat went to Joe Cassin VITO
slowed something OF his speed by coast
ing along ahead OF the other men and
winning the heat in walk, with Hewes
second, Bailey, Strickland, and Weyman
finishing in the order named
After the completion OF this heat there
was an intermission of half an hour, during
which the racers secured rundown and
general limbering up for the final The
Sites and Morris ran high, and when
they lined up at the tape awaiting the
track of thepistol everybody wasCDnvinced
that pretty race was coming. Nor were
they disapI Iointed. Sites started in with
ais usual srIong gait, but after a spurt .
o lap when he found that he could not
shake either Cassin or Morris, the pace
slowed down somewhat, with Cassin lead
ing.
Several times Sites made desperate ef-
forts to take the lead, but Cassin showed
himself fast on the sprint, beside turning
the corners beautifully. The last lap
was intensely exciting, and as the bunch
came down the stretch, with Cassin in
tile lead, a storm of cheers greeted the
pretty sight Morris was working ha RI and
at the last stake was touching elbows
with Sites CaSsin cut the stake close, and
then went over the line a winner by less
tlian foot, in 3:12, with Morris aid
Sites neck and neck just behind
IT did look as though Morris had a
shade the best of it for the place, hut
the officials did not see it that way, and
declared tia tie for second honors, with
Hewes third. 1t was as pretty finish
rs one could wish to see. After the race it
developed that Sites skate had become
IaoSened, which, undoubtedly, handi =
capped him somewhat
The officials were: Referee, NJ. R. w.
Maupin, judges, Messrs. Paul Won Boek-
man and Eugene Crist.
The race this evening will be for two
miles, and the event will undoubtedly
show better the staying powers as well
as speed of the men. The first heat will
be started promptly at O'Clock.

ITO the officers and Members of D. A.

the usual talk of skinning the property,
based on the apparent low ratio OF ex-

in the winter time it was impossible to cut
expenses to this figure. Insiders ridicule
any such idea. The fact is simply that ST.
