BURNS TO DEATH
IN A HOSPITAL
Insane Woman Builds Fire and
Stands in 1t While Her
Flesh Roasts.
SHE FIRST BOLTS DOOR
Attendants FranticaIly Try to Break
Down Barrier as Woman Is Blaz-
ing-Act Due to Frenzy of De-
Spair in Lucid Moment.

Philadelphia.-A frightful and sen.
sational suicide occurred at the Phil
adelphia hospital, when a patient,
Lena Frank, thirty years old, barri-
caded herself in a room, built a fire
and threw herself upon it until she
was horribly burned. She lived only
short time after she had been taken
from the flames by attendants.
Physicians believe that the woman.
who was confined to the institution
for recurrent insanity, had a lucid
moment in which she discovered that
she was virtual prisoner in a place
for the insane and the realization of
her plight drove her into a frenzy of
despair which ended in the suicidal
attempt.
Normal at Times.
The woman was admitted to the
hospital last February, and was treat.
ed for the temporary visits of de-
rangement. At times her mind would
become apparently normal, and on
these occasions she was greatly de-
jected at discovering her condition.
Hope was held out that she would
eventually recover from her mental
disease.
She arose at $50 a. M, the usual
hour for patients, dressed and walked
about the institution. She had al
ways been of calm disposition, and
for that reason there was never any
effort made to hamper her movements.
She walked undisturbed into a serv-
ing kitchen leading to the ward in
which she was assigned.
DR.. l.. v. Schwadt, a woman ply
sician, was the first to learn of the
woman's desperate act. She heard
piercing shrek come from the kitch-
en- into which Lena Frank had gone,
and upon running there she found
that the door had been locked. Wisps
of smoke came through the crevices
in the partition and she began to smell
the horrible odor of burning flesh.
Break in the Door.
Doctor Schwadt shouted for helr
and several attendants came to her
assistance and tried to open the door

Women Like to Cool Feet.

About half the women who drop
into shoe stores to try on new pumps
and the like have no idea of buying,
says a clerk in one of the uptown
stores who has been keeping tab on

off their feet. During the hot weather
the percentage of nonbuyers runs
high.-New York Sun.

ported that the thief got into the
