Mallory, 2010 Sixth avenue died yesterday morning from the rare disease known as elephantiasis after an lliness of sixteen years, aged 4 years. She leaves besides her husband, one son, Mrs. Mallory was a member of St. John's English Lutheran church and services werc conducted yesterday afternoon at the fams: iy home by Rev. G. W. Snyder after which the body was taken to Athens, Pa. for burial Mre. Mallory's case was said to be one of only two or three of similar character known In this country, although the di- sease is not uncommon in tropical countrie Because of this fact her case was the ob- Ject of much inferest among medical men and in September, 1908, at her own sug- gestion she submitted to examination by doctors in attendance at a meeting of the Medical society of the Missouri valley held in this eity in the hope that by so doing she might assiet In the study of a disease | which has baffled the skill of physicians and which has so far been regarded as in- curable. When four years ago she found that her case was hopeless and that she was doomed to a life of suffering until death would release her Mrs. Mallory ac- cepted the situation with Christian. forti- | tude, An ingldent of Mrs. Mallory's long fliness | was her close friendship with Mrs. Annle E. Lynch of McKeesport, Pa., who suf- fered from the same disease: and died in July of last year. The two women never | met, but for several years carried on a | correspondence, Their acquaintance began | through Mrs. Mallory reading an account of Mrs. Lynch's case in an eastern news- paper. AD | " ROBBERIES | THREE MA Thieves Visit Dwelling House Two Stores. Finding the back door unlocked a thief | experienced no difficulty in making his | Wway into the residence of Mms. Willlam Bdan at 2285 Harmony street Wednesday | night after the family had retired. A light | had been left burning In the dining room, as one of the members of the family was | not expected home until late. The thief, | evidently in his search for silverware, opened the drawers of a sideboard and | was rewarded for his trouble by finding | Mrs, Bean's pocketbook containing $35, which he promptly appropriated in lieu | of the silverware, which he did not d turb. When Mrs. Bean's son returned | home he found the kitchen door open and the drawers In the sideboard pulled out and at once suspected that something was | wrong. Investigation led to the dlscovery of the theft of the pocketbook. Sam Frieden, who conducts a general clothing store at 618 West . Broadway, | placed a $25 fur overcoat on a dummy out- side the door of his place of business, but omitted to connect the coat and dummy with ¢hain and padlock.
