OER READY, * GUEST WAS DED Miss Leonard Had Planned a Little Party in Honor of the Birthday of Her Brother Michael. WHEN HE DID NOT APPEAR SHE WENT TO HIS HOME. Found Him-Asphyxiated by Gas He Accidentally Had Turned On When Retiring the Night Before. ‘The table was spread and the guests sssembled at the home of Miss Mary Leonard, at No, 833 West Forty-elghth Hreet, but her brother, Michael Leon- ard, who was to have been the guest of honor, lay dead in his room. Leonard, who was thirty-three years old, boarded with Mrs. Lougheed, at No. 68 Bighth avenue, It was his birth- day, and in honor of the event his sis- ter had arranged for a dinner party at her home. Leonard had retired early the night be- lore, but iis non-appearance during the fay did not cause Mrs. Lougheed to worry, as there had been many days on whioh she had not seen him around. When the guests had all assembled at Miss Leonard's the failure of her brother to put in an appearance seemed atrange, and she excused herself long enough to run around toMrs. Lougheed's to see what detained him. The landlady informed her that she had: not seen him all day. ‘Then we'll go up to his room and arouse the sleepy-head,” said Miss Leonard. On the way up she remarked that she smelied gas. “So do I,’ said Mrs. Lougheed. “That's funny; I thought I smelled it before to-day, but I forgot all about it.” They knocked on Leonara’s door and got no re nse. They knocked again. Then Miss Leonard opened the doo, A suffocating rush of gas followed, and the two women. saw through the gloom Leonard's body lying on the bed. Frightened I2¢ the gas and the fail- ure of Leona: to answer their cries, the women screamed. Policeman Rice heard them and ran into the house. He entered Leonard’s room and turned off the gas. He dragged Leonard's body gut into the hall, but the man was lead. A_ physician was summoned, but he said Leonard had been dead seven or eight hours. He had turned on the &as accidentally when going to bed the night before. Miss Leonard returned home and dis- missed her guests, RICHES GONE, HE ENDED HIS LIFE Charles Barbour Went the Pace That Kills Till His Gay Com- panions Quitted Him and Left Him to Poverty. From wealthy man-about-town, wine buyer and generous spender, Charles Rarbour descended to a messenger and then to chore man in Hahn's Hot No. West Thirty-first street, and to- day he was found dead. He had ended his life by inhaling gas. Tt was only a few yearmago that Bar- pour, a happy-go-lucky, laughing fel- low, who never had a thought of the morrow, und who took his friends as he found them, was a figure in the ‘Yenderloin and along upper Broadway. ‘Then luck seemed to go against him, and his former triends took him as they found him. One by one they went the other way and Barbour, with money gone and friends lacking, turned his hand to anything he could find to get a living. He secured. employment ac | Hahn's, and the former happy Barbour } became a recluse. i Barbour was last seen alive yesterday afternoon, He was then very pensive, He retired to his room and turned on the gas. Former companions may claim nis body to-day, If they do not he will be sent to the Morgue. Barbour was only thirty-four years old. ease Saas 4 4WRS, GILBERT BETTER. “ WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.~Mrs. G. IT.

Since Childhood Pretty Anna Burckhart and Sophie Haver- man Had Been Inseperable Companions. Heartbroken with grief over the death of her chum, pretty Anna Burckhart, eighteen years old, killed herself by drinking carbollc acid. Miss Burckhart was just eighteen. She was of a bright und cheerful disposi- tion, and because of her exceptional good looks and unfailing good nature was regarded as the belle of the neigh- vorhood. With her parents she lived in a cozy home at No, 42 Bedford street. Almost from babyhood her insep- arable chum had been Sophie Haver- man, who lived in the samo nelghbor- hood, They had attended school together had been members of the cholr of Alexander Chapel in King atreet. Three months ago Miss Haverman died in a hospital while undergoing an operation. Since that time Miss Burckhart had been much depressed. She wept con- siderably and frequently complained of headaches. She complained to her moth- er that she was suffering from a head- ache and said she would go to the drug store on the corner and get a powder. Her mother told her to hurry’ back. “ifteen minutes later she stumbled into the apartments of Daniel Martin, n friend of the family, who lives in No, il, across the street from the Burck- hart. ‘As she opened the door she attempted to speak, but fell unconscious before she could formulate a word, Martin picked her up and said hoe smelled carbolic actd. He saw that her lips had been burned by the polson, and ran with her across the street to her home. An ambulance was summoned from St. Vincent's Hospital, but the girl had died almost instantly. Where she obtained the acid is a mys- tery, There was no bottle in her pock- ets or about her, and the druggist on the corner said she had not purchased it. there, nor had she purchased a powder, as she had said she was going to do. MYSTERY IN MAN'S PLIGHT IN THEATRE Found Unconscious with Skull Fractured Hours After House Was Closed and Supposed to Have Fallen from Balcony. (Special to The Evening World.) PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16.—Lying un- conscious with his skull fractured, a man supposed to be Frank Smith, of No. 2%8, South Eleventh street, wa: found’ in. the: Garrick Theatre by a watchman before dawn to-day. He was in full evening dress and his coat was spattered with blood from wounds on his head! While doctors in Jefferson Hospital are trying to save his life the authorities are endeavoring to learn how the patient sustained his injuries. The theory generally accepted is that the man occupied a seat in the first balcony last night, and falling asleep was overlooked and locked in the thea- tre. Awakening, he found himself in the dark and, confused, he groped about and tumbled over the rail.

Bitter is the disappointment of the demure young females up at the Mar- the Washington Hotel, Just ax they thought that they had completed the cycle of romance and tragedy with the birth of @ baby in their big, home-like caravansary it was discovered that the baby was in reality five months old, and that it was smuggled Into the hotel by its rhother because she knew there wns a rule that babies were not allowed in the place. Four times has the Martha Washing- ton been staggered by elopements, twice have marriages taken place in {ts par- lors, three times has the big establish- ment been plunged into glgom by death and once was it thrilled by a real shoot- ing affray. There seemed to be nothing jacking but a baby, but there wasn’t # soul in the hotel who was willing to furninl that sort of a sensation, Then this stranger came, with her baby in a bundle, and hopes would not have been elevated only to be dashed to the ground again had {t not been for un indigestible chocolate drop which this baby tried to absorb, to the great distress of its mother and the detriment of {ts stomach.

Peopic who do not study the sub- ject sometimes get the idea that Grape-Nuts is a medicine, whereas it it is a pure cereal food made upon scientific principles and contains no {medicine whatever. Stomach trouble must be treated through taking away the bad food and jusing proper food, for almost all stomach trouble comes from the use of improper iood, and science says | that the only way to cure It {s to take jaway the cause and use good food in jits place. “I am a brain worker and resorted to the habit of drinking strong black coffee for lunch to ‘tone me up,’ as I expresseu it, and the re- sult was that although I ate a great deal of food I grew thinner and browner until my friends told me I really looked Ilke an over-roasted | coffee bean myself. Then I began to the use of Grape-Nuts food and gave up coffee. for I found that Grape- |Nuts gave me all the toning up that |was necessary, and there was no bad reaction from this food as there is from coffee. I am stronger, better and healthier in every way and my brain is much clearer and more ac- tive since I began the use of Grape- | Nuts. The yellow look has almost left me and my friends assure me that I am actually growing fat. “[ first learned of Grape-Nuts! through a lady friend who uses it regularly for breakfast for her two | little girls. 1 bad known them only as puny, sickly little children and | was surprised at the change in them. for now they are a pair of the strong- est, healthiest girls I ever saw.
