She KEPT Her LAND.
Woman Resisted Corporations and
Agents for 20 Years.

New York. March 25.-Mrs. Rachel
Purdy, the widowed recluse of West
Farms, is dead at the age of 80. af-
ter almost twenty years of constant
combat with corporations and real es-
tate agents anxious to purchase her
real estate holdings in the Bronx.
But Mrs. Purdy consistently refused
to sell her land to any one, even
though she was at times pressed for
cash.
Mrs. Purdy's husband died about
eighteen years ago. He was Samuel
Purdy, a prominent lawyer in his day
and generation and a power in Bronx
politics. His life was devoted to the
acquisition of real estate in the
Bronx, for he foresaw the great fu-
ture profits of such investment. On
his deathbed he enjoined his wife
never to sell any of her holdings and
this injunction she obeyed. AS the
result of her resolution she saw her
property increase to a value of fully
$2,000,000. Although land rich, Mrs.
Purdy was also land poor. At times
she actually needed money for,
while taxes increased, her income
from her unused property did not
show a corresponding advance. The
dead woman leaves only two relatives
so far as is known. They are
nephews and are expected to inherit
the bulk of her estate.

P. B. F1orea, one of the members OF

stated that $4,000 has been raised OF

after for new factories. 1.-The remain
ing $1,000 will surely be raised inside
of the next two weeks" declared Mr..
Florea.
s. 1.-THE work of raising this fund was
started only a few weeks ago, and
wonderful progress has been made.
Unless the full $780, 900 is raised the
money already subscribed will not have
to be paid. It is all or nothing with
the Coffeyviile people. They do not
want to subscribe any money at all
unless they can get enough with when

least 10000 additional worklngmen-

The point is that during her trips
along the vaudeville circuits during the

Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw, the wife of the

of which is presented in the accom-
