After living in the hope of death and thinking only of death for more than » year, Mrs, Marie M. Maler, possessor of @ strong and healthy body despite her sixty-elght years, committed suicide to-day at her home, No, 369 Linwood street, Kast New York. She made most careful preparations for the end and left all her earthly possessions assembled in such a way that her relatives, of whom she was very fond, will receive what she left them when they assemble at her funeral, Mrs, Maler’s husband died something more than a year ago, leaving her about $35,000 in cash and securities. She is believed to have had about $15,000 of her own, independent ,of the fortune left by her husband. ‘The widow mourned her husband. She was a believer in the union of souls after death, and often told Mrs. Margaret Maynes, who shared a two-family hou: with her, that her onty hope was to join her husband, Apparently, according to Mrs, Maynes, Mrs. Maier had no desire whatever to live, But doctors whom she consulted agreed there was not a physl- cal ailment in her makeup, She took the situation in her own hands last night. Mrs, Maynes found her dead to-day. The end of a tube fastened to an open gas jet was in her mouth, Her spectacles were in their place and she had died reading the Lutheran prayerbook. On a desk in Mrs, Mater’s room were found a number of communications re- | lating to her funeral and the disposition of her body and several letters to all her relatives, ready for mailing, A letter addressed to Mrs, Muaynes, expressing sorrow for causing her trouble and ask- ing that she mail the letters in the room, contained a new $100 bill. ‘There was a package, neatly wrapped in stiff paper, sewed around the edges with silk string and sealed with wax. TrAs bore the inseriptio “To be opened only {n the presence of all my relatives (naming a dozen or more), It contains all my earthly pos. sessions, bank books, stocks and bonds and other valuables, with instructions ‘fax to their disposition.”” Mrs. Maynes found another letter written soon after the death of Mrs, Mater's husband, The letter read: “ephis ts my last request. As soon as dead let a woman lay out my body. Keep my body three days and nights and bury it in the same grave with that of my husband, “My name is Marie Mater, maiden name May Garmer I was born in 184? I want a nice casket.

She is said to writ- ten that marriage with him would “not ‘be congenial.” ‘The news probably came as a big sur- prise to the young Swede, for, while jadmitting the other day the truth of the story that his father had been “rubber” in a Turkish bath, he insisted that he had told his flancee all about ltt, was convinced that it made no dif- | ference to her, and felt sure that she would come to New York in a few days \to make arrangements for the wedding. | FLORMAN’S SUIT FAVORED BY GIRL'S FATHER.
