DIED OF STARVATION.
New York Woman Had Sacrificed Ev-

erythinG for Children. E3
 New York. Dec. 2S.--Happy that her children. for whom she had sacrificed everything. even the last scraps of food. had at last found friends. Mrs. Phyllis Presco. died at a Brooklyn hos pital of starvation.
 Mrs. Prescott's husband has been dead for several months. and with four little ones the oldest years, the youngest months old. to take care of, she labored day and night until she was taken i'll. Her pride prevented her from asking aid. so she saved what bits. of food she could obtain for her little ones. while she gradually grew weaker and weaker from the lack of food. The last bits of crusts went for the children's Christmas dinner, and the next morning neighbors heard the crying of the little ones in the unfur- nished room in which the mother and the children lived. They found Mrs. Presco dying and. the children weak from the lack of food and from the cold. The police removed the mother to a hospital and the children's society took care of the little ones. When the physicians found that all hope was gone. the little ones were sent for and Mrs. Presco was assured that they would be cared for. They were happy again for they had plenty of food and toys.A As she watched them playing by her bedside. the mother smile faded out of her eyes, the mother heart was stilled and the mothers sacrifice was complete,

CONTRIBUTIONS NOT DESIRED.
Alfred Barlow Issues Public Statemen
 For Mrs. Eddy.

Boston. Dec. 2S-The following statement regarding the charitable pur- poses of the fund of $1.000 900 recently given Mrs. Mary Baker c. Eddy, the founder of the Christian Science Church. was issued today by Alfred Barlow. of the Publication Committee.
 There seems to be an impression that contributions to the fund are de- sired. This Is a mistake. Since the announcement of Mrs. Eddy's enter prise she has been in receipt of many letters of appreciation from all parts of the world commenting her efforts. Many of these letters have been accom- panied by checks. sent as contributions to aid the fund. It should be we'll un- derstood that Mrs. Eddy has set aside the entire amount necessary for this fund. namely $1.0o0.000 and donations from others have not been asked for. nor are any expected. <
