ADMIRED PRESIDENT
LAST CHAPTER IN NEW YORK
WoMAN's LIFE-A SUICIDE.

NEW YORK November S.-The nnal
chapter in the extraordinary story OF the
admiration Of Mrs. Lulu b. Grover Tor
President Roosevelt is ended. The last Of
the effects belonging to tho woman. VINO
killed herself last December after willing
her all to the President, were sold yester-
day by the public administrator.
The sale Of tapestries, paintings and
miscellaneous traps which she is believed
To have collected and fashioned with a
view toward leaving them to the fresl-
dent took place under pathetic circum-
stances.
II was known to Mrs. Grover IL"
friends that her admiration for the Presl-
dent and her fad for cats we're her only
pleasures Two of her Ang0Tas, lncIueh-
tally. were her only belongings which the
President would accept after her death.
Mute Evidences Of Regard.
Yesterday mute evidences of her regard
Uttered the dingy little second-foor room
at No 3 Duane street where the puo'ic
administrator auctions off the possessions
Of those who die alone and without rela-
tives to look after their estates
Her paintings of Roosevelt the mlnia-
ture furniture which she had built spe-
cially for her cats and the furnishings
of the Roosevelt room in her nome dt

by East Side pawnbrokers ana dealers III

their association with Roosevelt, and many
OF which were quite valuable, went lor

good prices. one OF her paintings "

Her complete collection of the Presi-
dents writings went. with several hundred
other books, for sl4, The $50 urn made
by Tiffany and containing the ashes OF
her cat, Golden King Teddy R. was
sold, with a lot of other trinkets, for a
few dollars. Among the trinkets was a
locket which she wore around her neck.
1t had once held on one side picture Of
Roosevelt. On the other a picture OF her
self remained.
Mrs. Grover told her friends she had met
Mr. Roosevelt when she was d girl, and
that she had never ceased to admire him.
She followed his career closely, and on
his every promotion. il is said, she wrote
him anonymous letters OF congratulations

letter asking him to care for her re-
mains.
At the White House when she died 1t
was denied that Mr.. Roosevelt had ever
known Mrs. Grover, but the cremation of
her body was attended by secret service
men. Her two remaining cats were sent
to Washington, and the rest of her be-
lodgings. valued at perhaps $4,000, were
turned over to the public administrator,
with the expressed wish of the President
that the proceeds from their sale be de-
| voted to charity.

OBSTACLE RACE AMUSES
Purdue University Pulls
off New Event; Won by
Joe Brown of Lake Co.

One of the largest crowds that ever
assembled on Stuart field at Purdue
university witnessed yesterday. an
obstacle race which resulted in a vic
tory for a Lake county boy, Joe E.
Brown. son of Matt Brown, formerly
commissioner of the county
The event is something entirely new
in the way of college athletics and the
win was creditable for Brown. The
latter is a freshman, and considering
the difficulty which he contended with
in the way of obstacles and also the
fact that be competed against all of
the best long distance men in the
school, should in itself be sufficient
to fix his status in athletics.
The course of the race was filled
with various cOntrivances to furnish
fun and also to bother the runners.
Barrels. bundles. planks. brush, trees,
fences and every imaginable kind of
an obstacle was put up in order to
stop the progress of the runners.
Brown will prove a valuable addi-
ton TO the track team the coming
year and should develop into a great
runner with good coaching.
