Drinks Out Year and Dies
Foreigner's Farewell to 1907 Proves Also Adieu to Life

While taking a farewell drink to the old year, George 
Nicodemus, aged forty, a florist living in Astoria, dropped 
dead in a saloon last night.  Nicodemus had visited the 
others in the place to join him in a farewell glass.

"Good-bye to the old, success to the new," he exclaimed, 
raising his glass from the bar.

His friends clinked their glasses together and raised them 
in unison when Nicodemus faltered, his face turned white, 
he staggered and fell dead.
