MRS. KARL AGAIN AFFLICTED
For the Third Time in Few Weeks
Death Enters Her Home.

Mrs. Louis Karl of 21 Forty-second
street, has had much to bear in the
last two months. About six weeks ago
her husband died at the Emergency
hospital in this city of typhoid fever.
A week ago Tuesday her daughter,
Mary Marguerite, three years old, was
taken away from her by the grim
reaper. Yesterday the twice-saddened
home was again visited by death, her
daughter Frances Karl, aged six years,
dying of diphtheria. The sympathy of
the entire community will be extended
to this terribly afflicted widow and
mother, who has undergone SO much
tribulation in such short time. The
funeral Of little Frances will take place
this afternoon and will, of course, be
private. The interment will be made
in st. Rose cemetery.

The Present Ease of Money is Regarded in an Unfavorable Light as Re- fsction of Diminished Trade
