Patrick's Cathedral in New York to overflowing yesterday for a memorial Mass celebrating the life of Mother Teresa. Meanwhile in Calcutta, India, it was announced that Mother Teresa will go to her burial place on a gun carriage, draped in the Indian flag. The military trappings of Saturday's state funeral might clash with the image of the Nobel Peace laureate but church leaders said yesterday it was just the government's way of giving Mother Teresa its most prestigious farewell. The Rev. Anthony Rodricks, an aide to Calcutta's Roman Catholic archbishop, Henry D'Souza, acknowledged there had been objections to the gun carriage.

"People might think of war when they see a gun carriage, but this is not the way it should be taken. A state funeral is the highest honor the state government can give Mother, and that is the spirit in which the ceremony should be taken," he said yesterday. In Washington, the White House announced that first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton will lead the U.S. delegation to the funeral. The first lady was "a natural choice" for the duty, said White House spokesman Mike McCurry.

Mrs. Clinton appeared with Mother Teresa in June 1995 at the opening of a Washington clinic in honor of the 87-year-old nun, who made attending to the poor her life's work. Mrs. Clinton also attended the funeral for Princess Diana in London last week.

Those causes, said an official from the medical examiner's office, included acute bacterial endocarditis, an infection of the membrane lining the heart and HIV, which causes AIDS. Glover's mother, Joanne Anderson, cared little last night about the medical jargon in the autopsy report, which she had not seen. "I don't care what they say," Anderson said. "If they got her to the doctor and the hospital, she could have been treated." But Dr. Kenneth W.

Faistl, the jail's medical director, said Glover had seen a doctor three times since she was brought to the jail about two weeks ago and had received proper medical treatment. Glover, a heroin addict, was picked up by county sheriffs officers on a warrant for violating her probation for drug possession, her mother said. Last Wednesday, she called her mother from the county jail and complained she was ill, Anderson said. She complained she had difficulty breathing, chest pains and a racing heart and the problems were worsening each day, Anderson said. Glover had a heart murmur and had been infected with HIV for several years.

On Friday, when she telephoned her sister, Glover was "gasping" for breath, said Priscilla Anderson, the sister. Still, Glover said to her sister, jail officials would not send her to the hospital.

Commissioner Leonard Fishman said he wants to duplicate what happened in New York, where four years of state reports on coronary-artery bypass graft surgery helped reduce deaths by 41 percent. "This data has to be so good that it has enough clout that it's really going to change performance.

That's our goal," Fishman said. Fishman, in a meeting with the Asbury Park Press editorial board, also: Said the Department of Health and Senior Services will issue a fine next week to Kimball Medical Center, Lakewood, for the June 1996 death of a 28-year-old woman during routine surgery to correct her infertility.

But the city's small, softly lit municipal courtroom is where most first-time offenders enter the criminal justice system.

Many will be released back into the community on probation with a strict warning to stay out of trouble. Some will avoid repeating the experience. Many won't. They will continue to pass through the revolving door of justice until they are arrested for something deemed serious or violent enough to warrant a long jail term. And even then, repeat offenders like Christopher Bibby return to the streets of Asbury Park.

Bibby, 43, has been in and out of jail since he was 16 years old, with at least six trips to state prisons. Each time he was released, Bibby returned to his hometown and within a year or two or sometimes just months he was arrested again. Bibby is a heroin addict. His voracious appetite for the powerful narcotic dragged him into a life of petty crime and small-time drug dealing. In February, he received a four-year sentence for pos An island tomb engulfed In bloom Flowers left at the Spencer family estate are strewn on Princess Diana's grave.
