Whether Laudanum or SWaI-
lowing of Teeth Caused HOy's
Death is Not Known

Coroner's Physician ]. w. Bastian

this afternoon on the body of Elijah
Hoy, aged about 80 years. of Stanton,
who was found unconscious by the
crew Of the patrol wagon on a step at

morning at the Delaware Hospital.
When the police picked up the man
he was unconscious and he rem aimed
in that condition until his death A
bottle of laudanum which had not been
uncorked was found on him at the
police station by Turnkey Soloman and
Acting Captain Tucker ordered the
man sent to the hospital. Pieces of
another bottle were found in the mans
pockeas.
Whether Hoy died from laudanum
poisoning or was choked to death by
his false teeth the autohrities are un-
able TO say. and for that reason the
autopsy will be held this afternoon.
Teeth Wedged in Throat.
One Of the doctors at the hospital
on examining Hoy on Saturday night
found his upper set Of false teeth IN
his throat and managed to get them
out. but no trace Of the lower set was
found It was thought that he might
have swallowed them
Hoy was identified yesterday by James
Nolan. proprietor of the Commercial
Hotel, Second and Market streets. The
man had been staying at Nolan's place
and always paid the latter in advance
for his room. Mr.. Nolan said that Hoy
was not a drinking man. He had a
so note changed on Thursday night
but he did not have any money when
searched on Saturday night at the
police station.
IT was aid that Hoy formerly made
his home at Stanton. Nobody has
claimed the body as vet.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec. 7.-Three
important subjects-temperanc d.
vorce and race suicide-were up for
discussion before the Federal Council
Of Protestant Churches in America to-
day. Radical resolutions were pro-
posed by those who opened the debates.
The absolute prohibition of the sa-
looms and the abolition Of the liquor
traffic were urged by the comm ittee
on temperance. whose report was pre-
sented by Bishop Luther b. Wilson,
president OF the National Anti Saloon
League.
Bishop William C. Doane, Of the Pro-
testant Episcopal Diocese Of Albany.
who prepared the report of the COM
mittee on family life. took an extreme
position. Speaking for himself he de-
clared the belief that the churches
should not marry a divorced person,

lie would have the council take similar
action TO that OF the Pan Anglican
convention in England last summer.
Opposes Renarriaee.
'When an innocent person has, by
means OF a court law. divorced another
and desires to enter into another con-
tract OF marriage. IL Is undesirable that
such a contract should receive the bless
ing OF the church," said he.
"Diner as we may on the ground on
which divorce may be allowed. there Is.
think, common consensus OF opinion
IN all the churches-that. in itself.
divorce is a menace 10 society and a
threatening ruin to the home"
Uniform divorce laws and the arouslng
of public sentiment against the divorce
evil were recommendations r-ade by The
committee.
Bishop Doane vigorously attacked race
suicide.

rHG PAINTING SEASON.

Good results In painting 1t the leass
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint Is a simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test
ed The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. The liquid part
should be Linseed Oil. Those best in
formed ON painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece OF
wood. Blow the flame against Z and
see what Ii will do, IL IL IL pure
White Lead. little drops OF bright, pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa
tlenee the White Lead can be ON
pleteIy reduced TO one globule Of metal
lie lead. This Is because pure White
Lead IS made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens Of other So
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one OF them to lead. III they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave a residue, ii Is clear that some
adulterant is present.
Ii you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, 1t would
be costly In the end.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building. New York City, are
sending on request a blowpipe free to
any q about to have painting done,

ed. With It will be sent a handsomely
printed booklet having IL Its frontis-
piece the dutch Boy Painter" re-
produced from the original painting.
