FORTUNE SAVES HER FROM
 PAUPER'S GRAVE

Chicago, Dec. 22AJane Irvine. who. for years was known as the '+Old NWo-
 man of the Alleys was buried for the second time today. A panper's grave was her first. That was a year ago when she died, supposedly penniless, in the asylum for the insane at Kan kakee.
 Funeral services were held for her in the Episcopal Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul and the Bishop of Chicago and Dean Sumner. who is to become Bishop Of Oregon next month. officiated. It was through Dean Sum- ner, in whose care Jane left her prop erty-four trunks and three dry goods boxes-when she was committed to the asylum, that her money was re- vea1ed. Search of the trunks dis closed her will and banhboolxs show ing she had on deposit $1, ,150 in Chi cago. The will bequeathed the money to the Bishop of Chicago to provide ..decent burial to women of the poorhouse." la
 Jane Irvine whose estimated age was 75 years, wandered through alleys searching rubbish heaps and ash cans. Tenement railways sheltered her at night. She refused to stay in a. room rented for her by Sisters of St Mary at the Cathedral. She visited the cathedral regularly.
 Yesterday the body was brought here for a. proper burial.
 @sF'or years we have held services at the poorhouse,' said Dean Sumner, and we learned that it is the great horror of the old people there-the women especial1y-that their bodies are to be used for dissecting purp oses after death. There are always 8 num- Der of women of some refinement and culture. there who have a dread of death because of the belief that their bodies will be turned over to medical students. James money will be used to give these poor women a decent l burial
