Jaffray had no sooner left the field
than he complained of a severe pain in
his side. His condition caused the
coaches and trainers little uneasiness.
He left New Haven for New York
shortly after the game in company with
other members of the team and their
friends. Before his departure he was
cautioned to take good care of himself,

have mended before his return to col

DIES FROM NEGLECT.
New York Girl Passes Away While
Her Family Begs a Doctor to Come.

New York, Dec. 27.-Louise Weiss died
praying for her father. He passed away
not long ago, but in her delirium she
thought him still living. though near to
death. She sat upright in bed, her
hands lifted in supplication.
She prayed earnestly, fervently. 1t
was the prayer of a loving daughter.
When it was ended she fell back dead.
Miss Weiss was only IS years old. IF
she had had physicians care she
might have lived. None came to her
home at No. 81 Grattan street, Brook
Ign, until she was dead.
Her relatives were there, and so was
her finance, August Nesurold, of No.
146 Hamburger avenue. Their grief was
alleged with indignation. Miss Weiss
belonged to a medical aid society which
guaranteed to furnish medical attend
ance when needed for six cents a week.
The young girl paid this fee regularly
to a, collector of a society.
When she fell i'll on Wednesday morn
ing her brother, Louis Weiss, went to
Dr. Theodore Burr, of No. 687 BushWick
avenue, who is connected with the So
ciety, and asked him to call.
DR.. Burr was too busy. In the after
noon August Nesurold called at the
Weiss home, saw how ill his sweet
heart was and ran to DR.. Burrs office.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS

"a Trip to Coontown" is the attraction
at the Crawford theater tonight. The per-
Torrance consists in the presentation Of
a laughable musical comedy which
abounds in funny situations and bright
dialogue. The leading roles are in the
hands of Bob Cole and Billy johnson, the
popular colored comedians, who have won
distinction in their parts. Bobe Cole, as
a tramp, is probably the foremost cOlored
comedian of the day. These comedians
are fortunate in having in their support
the most popular and accomplished enter
tainers of their race. The production has

diversion ever given by the negro on tue
stage.

the necessity of his taking the best of
care of himself, which advice he at
times, it is said, failed to heed.
Jaffray was a, veritable giant, weigh
