Christmas Day.

How will it dawn, the coming :
Christmas day,
A northern Christmas such as paint
ers love,
And kinsfolk, shaking hands but
once a year.
And danes who tell old legends by
the fire?
Red sun, blue sky. white snow and .
pearled ice.
Keen, ringing air. which sets the :
blood on f1ro
And makes the old man merry with
the young,
Through the short sunshine. through
the longer night?
In whatsoever garb or gay or sad.
Come fair. come foul. twill still be .

DEATH.
It DID NOT COME,
50 KILLED HERSELF
East New York Woman Had
Prayed to Join Husband,
Who Died a Year Ago.

After living In the hope OF death and
thinking only of death for more than .
year. Mrs. Marie VI. Mailer, possessor
Of . strong and healthy body despite
her sixty-eight years. committed suicide
to-day at her home. No. S9 Linwood
street, East New York.
She made most careful preparations
for the end and left all her earthly
possessions assembled in such a way
that her relatives. Of whom she was
very fond. will receive what she left
them when they assemble at her
funeral.
Mrs. Maier's husband died something
more than a year ago. leaving her
about $4,000 in cash and securities.
She 10 believed TO have had about
SIS, 900 OF her own. independent of the
fortune left by her husband.
The widow mourned her husband. She
was a believer in the union Of souls after
death. and often told Mrs. Margaret
Maynes, who shared a two-family house
with her. that her onsy hope wa to join
her husband. Apparently. according to
Mrs. Maynes. Mrs. Maier had no desire
whatever to live. But doctors whom she
consulted agreed there was not a physi-
cal ailment In her makeup.
She took the situation in her "
hands last night. Mrs. Maynes found
her lead to-day. The end OF a tube
fastened to an open gas jet was in her
mouth. Her spectacles were in their
place and she had died reading the
Lutheran prayerbook.

lating TO her funeral and the disposition
of her body and several letters to all her
relatives, ready for mailing. A letter
addressed to Mrs. Maynes. expressing
sorrow for causing her trouble n ask
ing that she mail the letters in the
room, contained a new 800 bill.
There was a package. neatly wrapped
in stiff paper. sewed around the edges
with silk string and sealed with wax.
Thas bore the inscription:
.'To be opened only In the presence OF
all my relatives manning a dozen Or
more). II contains all my earthly pos
sessions, bank books. stocks and bonds
and other valuables, with Instructions
as to their disposition"
Mrs. Maynes found mother letter
written soon after the death OF Mrs.
Naier's husband. The letter read:
This is my last request. As soon as
I am dead let a woman lay out my
body. Keep my body three days and
nights and bury 1t in the same grave

ALDERMEN STILL FEAR
TO CUT HATPlNS SHORT.

Another plea for legal protection
against woman's Ions hat pins was
made at the meeting OF the Board of
Aldermen this afternoon by A. +. Jones,
member Of the firm of Moran and Jones
Of No. 4Sl Fkth avenue. who wrote In
support OF the proposed ordinance to
limit the length of the weapons:
Having this week had my face cut
with a protruding hat pin. I add my
protest against the prevalence Of carry
ing these exposed weapons. and hope
you will put through the contemplated
ordinance relating to them"
DR.. II. Everett Russell Of No. e57
West Seventy-third street and others
had previously complained Of the hat
pin. but the Aldermen refused to re-
consider their action of q previous
meeting.
THE majority OF the Aldermen seem
to fear to interfere with the foolish
fashion OF women said Alderman
Drescher. so I shall walt until more
people are stabbed or lose their eyes
from hatpins. when the ordinance will
have to be passed.. Maybe the ne W
