One of the financial burdens, at least, has been removed in the death of John T, Brophy, tho 25-year-old husband and father.

Her father, Michael Weldon, 70 years old, lame since child hood, Is suffering from a fracture of Ms good ankle. Her mother, Mra. Mary Weldon, 9 years old, Is stiffened from rheumatism. Brophy died yesterday. He wag so weak just before death came that he could not lift his arms to his wife, and he had to lean close to hear him whis per, "Good-by, and God bless you." Today an undertaker took away the body, and the younger chljd. mystified, started to cry. -Hush," said 4-year-old Marie. "You'U woke papa. They're taking him to the hospital In the biff box, and maybe he'll get better there." . a The funeral will be held Saturday morn ing with services In the Church of tho Nativity, Burial will be at Holy Sepul chre Cemetery.

It was reported that an agreement suitable to the Vares had. been made and that they were Inclined to look upon notan with favor. This, of course, would mean the elimination of Congressman Vare from the n.ayoralty race.
