was large and healthy man. and one
OF his burly elders went to pay a visit
TO a certain Mrs. MacLaren of the
congregation who lived over the Scott h
nils. She was a frugal woman. but
since she knew that a call from these
two meant that they would stay TO
supper. too. she determined that they
should have the best in the house. So
she piled the table with jellies and lam
and preserves and shortbread and all
the delicacies of the season. and. the
Journey having been long, they partoolS
unsparingly, and after the meal the
elder said to her:

sUFFoCATED IN BED
New York Society Woman Killed BY
Gas.

New York Society Woman Killed By
Gas.
New York, Feb. %. - Mrs. William
PrOudfit Burden, who was Natica
Rives, daughter of Mrs. o. II. P. Bel
mont, and a society favorite in New
York, Newport and Washington, was
found dead in bed at her Fifth avenue
home. Death, the coroner decided. was
accidental and due to gas poisoning. A
disconnected gas tube which had led
from a chandelier to a drop light, so
placed that Mrs. Burden might read
while prOpped up in bed, had permitted
a flow of gas that filled the room and.
escaping into the hall, finally attracted
the attention of the servants.
Investigation showed that the gas
tube had been disconnected from the
lamp. Apparently having become
drowsy, Mrs. Burden had reached
from her bed and turned off the lamr
cock instead of taking the trouble tc
get up and shut off the gas at the
chandelier jet. In some manner un.
determined the tube became loosened
at the lower end, and slipping off the
feed pipe of the lamp laid in such a
position that the flow of poisonous
gas was directed into the sleeper's
face. The dead woman lay as in sleep
without sign of physical or mental
disturbance.
