lightful and accomplished manner
than ever. The group consisted OF an
air from Bach, a Chopin nocturne and
"Spinnlied." by Pepper. Mile. Rueg-
ger has established herself firmly In
the hearts OF the music-loving public

lished rule OF no encores, she was

TO STARVE
HERSELF TO DEATH

OF food in the house and the coal bin
we'll filed, Mrs. Lottie Gates was
found half starved by Constable Burch-
field and Director OF the Poor Lazelle
at her home, 1913 Massachusetts-ave.
Mrs. Gates has been in poor health
for the past three weeks and In spite
OF assistance of kind neighbors and
friends she is said to have become
respondent and threatened to end all
by the carbolic acid route. So realistic
had she made her threats that neigh
bors congregated each morning TO dis
cuss the probability OF finding her
alive that day.
For several days those visiting the
unfortunate woman were impressed
with the belief that she had deter
mined TO starve herself. No evidences
of her having prepared meals were
visible and dainties brought In by
friends remained untouched.
