EXPIRES FROM
EFFECT OF GAS
Porter of Columbia Hall Dies
in Hospital.

Joseph Csarni, twenty-one a
old, employed as a porter by A. Nix
elszky, at Columbia hall, in State
street, who was overcome with gas
that place Tuesday night and remov-
ed to the city hospital in an uncon-
scious condition Wednesday morning
died about 5 o'clock yesterday morn
ing in that institution, without ever
gaining consciousness.
Csarni, who had only been in the
employ of Nikelszky for three days,
is believed to have either blown out
the gas or in some manner got up
during the night to turn off the gas
and a~ccidently opened the Jet when
he did SO. When he did not get up
at his usual time Wednesday morn
ing a servant girl in the employ of
Mr.. Nikelszky went to his room to
call him. He usually got up at $50
o'clock. Her effort to arouse him on
three different occasions and the
strong odor of gas, led the girl to
believe something was wrong. She
called Mr.. Nikelszky, who went to
the young mans room and found
him unconscious in bed. DR.. George
w. Tyrrell, who vas called, had
Csarni removed to the hospital,
where he passed peacefully away yes
terday afternoon.
DR.. f. c. Henry, who has been
In attendance on the young man at
the hospital, gives the cause of death
as asphyxiation by gas. Coroner
Flynn went to Nikelszky's place this
morning and made an invest cation
and found that the young mans
death was caused by acciden1y turn
ing on q defective gas jet, the stop
on the cock being broken off, thus
allowing it to be completely turned
around.
Csarni, who has been in this city
for about a year, has no relatives
in this country, but his father and
mother and a sister reside in the old
country. An insurance policy of the
continental Casualty Company found
among his effects is made out to his
sister, FAM Csarni.
Joseph Goldman, the local repre-,
sentative of the company, Is arrang-
ing for the funeral, which will be
held at $50 o'clock tomorrow after
noon from the undertaking place
of J. j. Flynn in New Brunswick
avenue, followed by a service in the
Hungarian Reformed church in Kirk
land Place at 3 o'clock. Rev. Louis

SUBJECT
FOR A SERMON
Pastor Northrup on flaming
the Tongue" Tomorrow.

The subject OF the sermon at the
Presbyterian church Sunday night
will be Tanning the Tongue" This
Is the second OF some sermons on
popular themes that will be present
ed by the minister. The first n
was on Nerve" Which is mfght1er,
the pen, the sword or the tongue?
The biggest coward you know is
probably the man or woman with
the sharpest tongue. Big talk is a
good sign of little deeds and shallow
minds. The tongue though little Is
a mighty member, but 1t is a Wild
cat that needs tanning.
Half the trouble in the world
would be saved If our tongues were
tame. GA soft answer turneth away
WRATH but a sharp tongue can pro-
woke to fame all the slumberlng
evil there is in a man.
The powerful horse Is controlled
by the bride, the great ships of sea
and air by a small rudder and the
fate of men and institutions often
hangs on a few words of the tongue.
Says the Scripture, "The tongue Is a
fire." And behold, how great a mat
ter a little fire kindleth.
Truth needs a tongue. But what
crimes are sometimes perpetrated in
the name of truth. Somebody be-
gins, "Now, to be perfectly candid
with you" But candor needs no
such introduction. The tongue must
be not only true but tame. Not al
ways praise, not fattery, not neces~
sarily smooth words; but always a
tanned tongue instead of a s%erpent's
fiery sting, and a wildcats scream.
It Is the tame dog that rs bravest,
it is the heart Of love that dares to
speak in greatest danger. 1t Is the
wild tongue that wags with SANDER,
that feeds on ~fa1sehood, that stings
the d~efenseless to death; but a word
In season, how good 1t Is.
