FOUND DYING
IN BATHROOM
Young Maj a Victim of Gas,
Leaves Wife and Small
Children

Another asphyxiation case was re-
ported to the coroner several hours
after the body of Charles Harris, the
United Wireless Telegraph Company's
employe was found. The second victim
was Harry McCaulley. aged 26 years,
of No. 400 East Twelfth street. He
was found unconscious in the bath
room yesterday afternoon, having been
overcome by gas. He died a short time
after being admitted to the Delaware
Hospital.
The young mans father found him
lying on the floor. A broken "sparker''
on the gas jet had failed to make a
light when the gas was turned on and
this allowed II to escape. The window
was closed and the blind drawn down
so that the room was dark.
McCauley was employed at night at
the Baltimore and Ohio roundhouse i'm
the west yard. He is survived by his
widow and two boys, one 2 years old
and the other three months old. His

should want to kill himself. McCaul-
ley had planned to move this month
had rented a house nearer his place
of employment and had bought much

"REVERSED" DINNER
IN PHILADELPHIA

Wrs it William Penn and his methods
which first made slow Philadelphia the
but OF gay and giddy New York? says the
New York Press. And was it not Harry
Lehr who in more modern times famed
the flame by his epoch-n.a aking remark
that he had spent two weeks in the Quak-
er City one afternoon? At any rate. the
islanders Of Manhattan yield the palm in
regard to things epicurean in view of a
recent Philadelphia dinner concerning
which the tongues Of fashionable folk
both in this and that city are stin wag-
ging. Walter Rogers Furness, son of an
eminent Shakespearean scholar, DR.. Hor-
ace coward Furnace. on his return from
Europe with Mrs. Furness, astonished a
select circle of friends by issuing invita-
tions for a Reversed Dinner" Through
the title sounded uninviting, the popular
ity of the host and hostess and their repu-
tation for originality resulted in unani-
nous acceptance of the invitations. On
the specified evening about thirty expect
ant guests assembled in the Furness din
ing room all alert for a new sensation.
And they certainly got il, for the first
thing set before each person was a small
cup of black coffee. That beverage, which
a few of the men thought was a new
cocktail, was followed by liqueurs and
cigars and dessert, following which came
course after course. as served at the or
dina dinner, but brought on in exactly
the reverse of the usual order. The dis
torted repast, ended with oysters on the
half shell and cocktails. The fortunate OF
unfortunate thirty up to now have con-
tinued in excellent health despite the re-
versed'' menu. Several brave individuals
even are going so far as to express the
belief that the reversed dinner" is ar
aid to digestion. one wit remarked ths
only false notes in the artistic effect OF
the dinner were the serving Of the mea
from a table on the floor instead of or
the ceiling and the conventionality of th'
guests in donning regulation costume, in
stead Of wearing their clothes upside
down.
