About noon ON Thanksgiving day Frank
Calvin, aged 30 years. was found dead in
bed, in his room at the Green hotel on
Cooper street near the r. r. station, Of
which Mrs. Taylor is proprietoress.
Calvin came to Woodbury. from Boston
about six weeks ago to work at Blasius
Piano works. On the night previous he
worked until $50 and returned to the
| house and retired to his room.
| When found he was in bed, and appeared
to be in natural slumber. The odor Of gas
was strong in the room. One window was
| slightly raised to admit air. On the bed
was newspaper, with every appearance Of
having fallen from his hand. A gas stove
and a gas burner near the bed were turned
on full. The theory is that Calvin retired
to bed to read, lighting the gas stove and
burner. The gas meter at the Green is one
of the slot machine variety which burns
the amount of money placed in, and then
goes out. 1t was known to have gone out
the night before.
Calvin was reading in bed, the gas went
down and finally out, and he fell asleep.
When the meter was repIenished with
money next morning, the gas flowed into
Galyin's room through both stove and
burner, and he died of suffocation by gas
The body was removed to BEdd s morgue
and efforts made to locate his family
Through letters found in his trunk the fact
was telegraphed to Miss Allie S. Rankin,
Of Leominister, Mass. She arrived on Sat
urday and had the remains prepared and
shipped to her home. Calvin had no family
and was to have married Miss Rankin on
New Years day.
| Calvin was man of fine appearance,
good habits, but reticent as to himself and
plans.
Coroner Stout held view and gave a
certificate of accidental death from asphyx-
iation.

a dispatch from Rome, announcing that
as the midnight separating December 81
from January approaches, the Pope viii
celebrate the last mass Of the century, is a
reminder Of a controversy almost now fof-
gotten-as to whether this IS the last year Of
the nineteenth century or the first of the
twentieth. The contention that 1860 was
the beginning and not the end Of a century
gas gortesquely absurd, and the Pope, who
as right on the century question from the
