Chicago No more blindness, poverty and loneliness for Mrs. j Mathilda Dingier. The pistol her husband loaded afid put away 35 years ago has seen to that. The little old lady who lived In the alley cottage out on Larabee street had been a charity charge four years; every since at the age of 78 she had to abandon nursing be cause her sight was gone. Since then the "society" has paid the rent, the "society” has sent the coal, and the “society” has sup plied her frugal fare. There wasn't much for Mrs. Ding ier to live for. Not much, unless perhaps it was the weekly visit of Mrs. Elizabeth Helm who always brought what Mrs. Dingier liked— sausage. By carefully limiting her daily portions, Mrs. Dingier man aged to make the sausage last through the week. Sausage isn't much of a table luxury. Still, if one is 82, blind, poor and alone; and If there is only beans and bread and meal for porridge—. It was the only thing that brought joy to the little alley shack. Anrt, after four years of blindness and loneliness, it was not enough to take Mrs, Dingler's mind off the dresser drawer, and the loaded weapon that lay there. Mrs. Dingier took the weapon in her wrinkled hand. That was a week ago. Mrs. Helm called the same day with the sausage. “I shot myself,” Mrs. Dingier told her. “Death's too slow.” For a week she lay In a hospital. She asked the nurses not to help her. She did not want to live. She was blind, poor and alone. Last Tuesday she died. Herbert's Son. Hackensack.
