1t was Maria's lifelong ambition to
enter into a religious house. but SO

New York. Feb. 16.-Miss Olive Rob

old Brooklyn family. ended her life
today with gas. The setting with
which she surrounded her act had

presence of death. She had attired

dress of the pattern of thirty years
ago. In her hand she held IN old
fashioned silver watch. 1t was still
running. Like The Old Clock on the
Stairs" it had licked for her the mes

The old spinster lived alone in the
fashiona BILE rooming house at II Gates
avenue, Brooklyn. She had outlived
all her friends. This age of haste
and progress was strange to her. She
had never married. Her only living
relative was a brother. She care
fully arranged all her affairs befors
taking her life. Various old letters
and heirlooms were placed on the
able beside her. She left a note for
her brother and another for her pas
tor. She had been member of one
church for sixty years. Most of her
life was dedicated to the work of
doing for others. The letter to the
pastor said she was tired of life and
that death was tardy.

 Edward Williams, a we'll known colored resident, narrowly escaped be- ing seriously injured last evening when the carriage in which he was riding was run down by an automo- bile on Whiting street. Williams was thrown out of the vehicle but except for a few bruises was unhurt.
 His horse was badly injured, how ever, and the carriage was damaged considerably. The autoist didn't stop to learn what damage had been caused. Instead he increased the speed of his machine and was soon lost in the darkness. The officials here telephoned to Southington in an effort to head him off but he made a successful getaway.
