Love Lea to Suicide.

DIR. Elizabeth Darby, who committed
suicide at Providence, r. 4. while de-
spondent, had troubled life. Her de-
spondency is said to have been due to a
disappointment in love affair
Miss Darby was educated in Philadel-

Academy of Bordentown. She later re-
turned to Philadelphia, where she became
trained nurse. While thus engaged she
had charge of dying woman, who was a
Catholic, and had lighted candles in her
room. Miss Darby inadvertently placed
one of these under the bed and the clothes
became ignited. The woman was rescued
after being nearly burned to death. Miss
Darby was tried for the deed, bnt 1t was
proved that she was unsound mentally and
she was acquitted.
She then took up the study of medicine
and received diploma from the Balti
more Medical College.
A few years ago Miss Darby became in
volved in love affair, which is still fresh
in the minds of her friends, but which is
never referred to by her family.
Her father. Joseph Darby, well to do
farmer of near Bordentown, refuses to
speak of the affair which is said to have
preyed upon the girls mind until she be-
came respondent.
The body of DR.. Elizabeth Darby, who
shot herself at Providence, R. l., Oh New
Years night, was buried Sunday in the
Jacobstown cemetery. DIR. Fiannigan. an
associate of Miss Darby in the practice of
medicine, denied the statement that de-
ceased had met with financial reverses or

New Year Thoughts.

The year which began on Wednesday
will figure, in all likelihood among the
eventful years of the coming century up
on which we have entered The advent
of new year reminds US of the rapidity
with which our earthly course is hasten
ing to its end. Life is made up of years
and days and moments. Such is our folly
that we allow moments, days and years to
glide away with almost as little attention
to the great object of life as if no such
object existed To correct our folly, and
to lead us to wise and dutiful consider
alton, God, in His providence, as well as
in His word, has kindly favored us with
many admonitions of the lapse of time
and the rapid transit we are making. Such
admonitions are found, not alone in the
pallid cheek and wasting forms of those
we love, nor in the death news which SO
frequently startles us into a nomentary
thoughtfulness; nor in the sculptured
marble or unmarked grave which, with
mute but touching eloquence, pleads the
memory of the dead.
In the joys of the year, in its sadness
there will forever remain that one great
calamity, the nations loss, the untimely
death of President Mckinley, the beloved
head of this great commonwealth. But
no one can calculate with any certainty, or
another day, much less on years to come
Multitudes, who twelve months ago had
as fair prospects of many years as we
have now, are already in their graves. In
the midst of their pursuits death changed
their countenances and sent them away.
1t becomes US to remember in this and all
years to come that, although life is va
por, yet like that which creeps along hill.
sides or floats across the sky, it is none the
less under the control of the God of all
Startling things in advancement in all the
worlds industries will have transpired
even before another year has rolled by,
and even in our own community changes
will have taken place compounded by
Him that gives them efficacy.
