SOCIAL WORKER DIES
MARTYR FOR NEEDY
Mrs. Miriam MacCarroll Patter-
son Succumb to Illness
from Overwork

Mrs. Miriam MacCarroll Patterson.
social worker at the Methodist Episcopal
Hospital died yesterday at her home.
1900 South Broad street, a martyr to her
profession
Mrs. Patterson, wife of DR.. Robert A.
Patterson, prominent physician. was
forced to abandon her activities among
the poor and sick of South Philadelphia
about a year ago. when she became i'll
through overwork. She was assistant
chief of the Bureau of Social Service of
the institution and took charge of thou
sands OF cases.
Children who came to the hospital suf-
fering from impovershment were prop
erly fed after they returned to their
homes through the philanthropic efforts
of this remarkable, energetic woman.
Old men and women who required
crutches and were too poor to buy them
we're cared for after Mrs. Patterson in
vestigated their needs. Any child or
adult who needed care that would sup
plement medical treatment was certain
to find in Mrs. Patterson a kindly as
well as a valuable acquaintance. When
her health declined and her husband in
sisted that she stop work. she worried
more about the poor folk of South Phia-
delphia than her own health.
In spite of Doctor Patterson's advice
she returned to her old position. She
was apparently happy again. but her
health grew worse. The christmas
rush. in the bureau proved too great an
exertion for her, and she became seri-
ously i'll on December %. Since that time
but little hope was held out for her re-
covery.
Her funeral will be held on Friday at
the undertaking establishment of oliver
II. Bair. 1920 Chestnut street. Services
will be conducted by the Rev. Dr. ]. AK
ford Higgins pastor of the Ninth Pres
byterian Church, 5sth street and Wash
ington avenue.
''I firmly believe that the cause OF Mrs.
Patterson's Illness was overwork," said
Doctor Patterson this afternoon. II tried
to convince her that she was not phys
ically fit to continue her undertakings, but
in her profession lay her happiness"

UNBENT BY AGE AND LOSS, OLD MAN
STARTS OUT ANEW TO MAKE GOOD
William H. Corwin, Once Wealthy, but impoverished by
Stock Speculation, Defies Misfortune and Declares
He Will Regain His Stand in World

Eighty-four years have not bent the
sturdy back of william II, Corwin, 211
North Camac street. His hair is white,
but red blood flows through his veins
Just as vigorously as II did when he was
a youngster, and. his eye is just as clear.
Today he is starting oil over again to
make his marx in the world. Ambition
once carried him so far along the path of
wealth that he made enough money to
retire from business. He bought a huge
mansion. He had his horses and livery,
his servants and every luxury.
In all his success his wife had been his
best advisor. Her counsel and advice had
borne him over many rough place on
his way to riches and in her wisdom he
trusted implicitly. They had no children.
Suddenly Corwin was left alone. through
the death of his wife. For few yea RS
he led q lonely life in his great home
Then came the furry In the stock mar
kets, the excitement of overnight fortunes
and the lure of speculation.
Although 7s years old. the still alert and
active man fell in line with the thou
sands that besieged the tickers. His ac-
counts ebbed and flowed. In the panic of
1907 came the crash. Corwin lost nearly
all his money. First to go were the horses
and his servants. Then he sold the house.
For years not having known the feeling
OF being unable TO command any luxury,

the aged man was now obliged to earn
what little he could for his daily bread.
Two years he has lived at the Cemac
street boarding house. Few know of his
former position In life. Every morning
he started out with bundle under his
arm and even his landlady knew nothing
Of what he did during the day lie al
ways paid regularly for his tiny attic
room. He kept his pitiful clothes with
scrupulous care. The last remnants OF
his shattered fortune have finally dropped
through his careful fingers. lie has been
selling books to ekes out his expenses, but
II isn't enough to pay for his neat room
which he won't give up.

six feet of sturdy body. ~ made good

years ago"
Corwin started as bank clerk, going
into partnership later with his brother
in the produce business After his
brothers death he became salesmanager
of n large paint concern. BY careful In
vestment of his large income he got to-
gether enough money to retire and live

FINANCES DISCUSSED AT
MAYORS CONFERENCE
Relation to Cost of Depart
ments Considered by City
and County Officials

Municipal finances, as related TO the
cost of operating the various departments
of the city government, formed the topic
of a conference held by Mayor Smith
today with departmental heads.
The conference was attended not only
by the directors appointed by the Mayor
licitor John p. Connolly and Joseph r..
Ganney chairman Of Councils Finance
Committee.
The question of the size of the proposed
eouncilmanic loan, which will have to
include provision for all OF the depart
mental needs that were. of necessity.
ignored by Councils last year in making
up and adopting annual budgets. was dis
eussed and will be decided when II is
determined just how much additional
each department Is to be allowed
Additional appropriations were asked by
a number OF department heads, but the
largest items that viii have to be made
up from the loan will be replacement of
money taken from the payrolls of the
Police and Fire Bureaus TO pay on the
81 200. 600 temporary loan foated last year
Additional sums for both payrolls will
vide for salaries during the closing
months Of 1916, that were ignored by the
old Councils

AGED RECLUSE DIES
AS MUSIC-BOX PLAYS
Chance Remark Leads to Dis
covery of Body in Room
Filled With Gas

. A chance remark made to n neighbor
several months ago led to the discovery
today of an aged woman recluse, dead
from the effects of gas, sitting in a chair
beside a music-box, silent like its owner.
She was Mrs. Catherine Whitaker, a
widow, IS years old, of 1895 Haggert
street.
"I'd rather miss breakfast than my
morning newspaper" Mrs. Whitaker told
Mrs. X. G. Pollitt, of 1880 Haggert street,
during n chat few months ago.
Mrs. Politt remembered It, and when
she saw two papers lying in the snow on
Mrs. Whitakers front step this morning
she OWNED that something must be
wrong. After ringing the bell in vain,
she called Policeman James O'Neill, of
the 18th and York street station, who
forced open rear window.
They found the old woman sitting In n
second-story back room, dead. Gas was
flowing from an open jet Beside the
motionless form, on n table, was the old
fashioned music-box.
The lid was open. The music-boX had
evidently run its course with Darling,
am Growing Old'' while the woman died.
for the scroll of that melody was in po-
sition.
Death was accidental the police believe
for the gas jet was loose. She had been
dead since yesterday morning. 1t was said
at the Woman's Homeopathic Hospital,
where the pulmotor was applied. AS no
relatives were known to the police, the
body was sent to the, Morgue.

WILBUR, MUCH-MOURNED,
ATTENDS HIS OWN FUNERAL
They Thought He Had Been Burned
to Death in Tool Shed

young poodle, named Wilbur, was
locked into tool shed every night when
the family went TO bed. That was for his
own safety, because he might have barked
at burglars and been poisoned by them.
and so there would have been no more
Wilbur. The family OF Joseph Rau, who
lives at 1901 Agate street, Port Richmond,
did not raise Wilbur to be a watchdog,
Early today there was a fire in the tool
shed. The family rose in terror. for Will
bur. they knew, had been locked therein
(foT his own safety when they retired
the night before. Fifteen firemen of Ea-
gine Company 2S. fought like madmen TO
save the imprisoned dog; but the tool
shed was soon in ruins.
Save the remains for a funeral" cried
a gallant fireman. who had known Wilbur
personally. and so they save the charred
remains. Then. as they started TO bury
them later in the day, Wilbur ran into
the kitchen door. wagging his tail and
hungry as a bear. 1t just happened that
the one night he had somehow escaped
being locked into the tool shed the place
had been burned down.
SO the fatted calf was killed and VIII
bur, the pTodigal, that was lost, and is
found, was feted and petted to his hearts 8
