Is the girl ready ? Has the
boy been "fixed ?" Children,
like their parents, often judge
their companions by their
shoes. And it isn't fair to the
boy or girl to have them feel
the difference that a little out
lay in dress would make in
their appearance.

Revolver Accidentally Shoots nnd
Almost Instantly Kills .Jer Sevcn-Yenr-Old

sell Moran Girl's Brother Was
Lying Dead In tho House Where
the Shooting Occurred.
While toying with a 33-cnllnro re
volver early yesterday morning. Mary
Moran, tho 13-ycnr-old dnughter of Mr.
nnd Mrs. Daniel Moran, of 1130 Provi
dence road, nccldentally shot and al
most Instantly killed her ntnymnte,
Llzzlo Russell, the 7-yenr-old dnughter
of tho next door neighbors, Mr. nnd
Mrs. Albert Russell,
An Infant son of the Morans had
died the day before. Mr. Moran In
tended to drive to Wllkes-Barre to
consult with his brother nbout tho
funeral arrangements, nnd as he would
lie detained until after nightfall ho
took from Its place of concenlment his
3S-callbro, self-acting revolver and left
It on n low mantel In the kitchen un
til ho should have finished his break
fast. A number ot children, the two prin
cipals of tho tragedy among them,
came In fiom tho street after Mr.
Moran had gone up on the second floor
to the dinning room.
AVhlle playing about the Moran girl
caught sight of the revolver, nnd, tak
ing It down from Its resting place,
slezed It by the gtlp and trigger and
began to flourish It about.
THE FATAL SHOT.
The Russell girl wan sitting on a
chair, leaning over looking ut her new
shoes und tilling the rest of tho chil
dren all ubcut them. In swinging tho
revolver about and Just at a moment
when It was directed at tho Russell
girl, tho self-acting trigger was press
ed sutllclcntly to talse and release the
hammer nnd the gun was discharged.
The bullet struck tho Russell child at
tho point of the chin and after plough
ing a Jnsgcd furrow In tho flesh, enter
ed the breast between the breast bone
nnd clavicle, directly above the heart,
severing the mnln artery, the aorta.
When Mr. Moran reached the room
ho found tho Russell girl lying In the
chair with blood flowing In a stream
from her breast, and his own daughter
rushing around the room hysterically
crying: "I did It, I did it, but I didn't
menn to."
Mr. Russell who also heard tho shot
and arrived soon after Mr. Moran had
picked up tho wounded girl. Seizing
her in his arms he rushed with her
over to his own house and held her In
his lap whllo physlcluns were being
hurriedly summoned. She was breath
ing her last when she was carried Into
the house nnd died in her father's arms
a few moments later.
ARE GRIEF STRICKEN.
Roth families were fairly In a frenzy
of grief over tho terrible affair. Tho
Mnrnn girl collapsed several times dur
ing the morning nnd when any ono ap
proached her she shuddered like a leaf.
Some one suggested that she go before
an aldermnn nnd her father nccom
panied her to Alderman Roberts' ofllcc.
When tho story was related, the alder
man told them to take her homo that
there was no occasion for her arrest.
Sho wan sent to tho home of friends on
the West Side that she might bo away
from the scene of the sad calamity.
Coroner Longstreet Investigated the
case and decided that It was purely
accidental.

IS IT CURABLE.
A Question Often Asked by Those
Afflicted with Piles.
Is a strained Joint curable? Is loent
lnflamatlon curable7 Of course, if
properly treated. So Is piles.
People become nflllctod with piles and
nsk some old "chronic" who has al
ways persisted in the wrong treatment
and naturally he discourages them by
telling them that their case is hope
less. They In turn discourage others, and
tlui3 a disease that can in every caso'
be cured by careful and skillful hand
ling Is allowed to sap the energy ot
thousands who might free themselves
of the trouble In a few days.
Pyramid Pile Cure will euro tho most
aggravated caso of hemorrhoids in an
astonishingly short time. It relieves
tho congested parts, reduces the tum
ors Instantly no matter how large, al
lays tho Inflammation and stops the
aching or Itching nt once.
Thousands who have resorted to ex
pensive surgical treatment have been
cured by tho Tyramld Pile Cure In
a number of instances persons who
had spent months In an hospital un
der a pile specialist.
It Is a remedy that none need fear
to apply oven to the most aggravated,
swollen and inflamed hemorrhoidal
tumors.
If you are nfillcted with this stub
born disease you can master It nnd
mnster Itlqulckly.
This remedy is no longer an experi
ment but a medical certainty. It Is
manufactured by the Pyramid Pile
company, of Marshall. Mich.
Druggists sell It at 50 cents per box.
It Is becoming the most popular pile
euro tho country has ever known and
druggists everywhere are ordering it
for their customers.
SOLDIER WAS INSANE.
Experience That Colonel H. M. Boies
Had Whllo Returning from
Camp Meade at Mlddletown.
Colonel II. M. Boles- nnd family paid
a visit to Camp Meade this week and
camo homo freatly pleased with their
trip. The colonel considers tho site
Ideal and his Idea of ideality isn't Iden
tical with that ot certain high ofllclals
to whom has been delegated the selec
tion of camp sites during the late un
pleasantness. He, together with other
Hcrantonlans was nurprised at tho
vast extent ot territory covered by
the camp. He paid special attention
to the tick ot tho Thirteenth regiment.
Mrs. Boles visited the hospitals in
Harrlsburg and offered her assistance
to a Iionesdalo boy sho found who
seems threatened with very serious
Illness. On taking the train Colonel
Boles observed a sick and emaciated
soldier embarking In tho care of a
nurse who was not to accompany him
on tho train, but was sending him
homo like a baby with a hottlo of
milk.
The nurse was overheard to remark
that It was a pity he had to go nil the
way to Wllkes-Barre alone, as he was
really unlit to travel. Colonel Bole.?
Immediately stepped forward and said
that as ho was coming to Wilkes-Birre
ho would look after tho man who
seemed desperately 111 and refused to
talk to any one save- Colonel Boles.
He was advised to eo to a hospital
when he reached home, but he roused
enough to say fiercely that ho had had
enough of hospitals and was going to
n certain hotel. He said he had $11
and when he was advised before reach
ing Wllkes-Barre to tako a cab, he
persistently refused. Colonel Boles
gave him some money which he waa
reluctant to accept, but afterward
took, clinging weakly to his new
friend's hand.
At Wllkes-Barre the chief ot police
nnd a number of other people camo
forward stating that they had como
for a member of the Ninth regiment
numed Carroll who had gone crazy
through lllnes.
Colonel Boles told them thero was
but one soldier on tho train and that
he was tottering up the platform, but
that ho had not given CRrrolI as his
name. Tho ofllcers made a dash after
the disappearing boy in blue, and Col
onel Boles was borne on homo wonder
ing extremely whether ho had been
spotted as ono of the commissioners
on lunacy or whether it was the cus
tom to send home Insane soldiers un
attended. Tho nurse had made no
mention of the man's malady, and the
Incident was to say the least, ruther
exciting.

LAST DAY OF THE
COUNTY FAIR
LARGE NUMBER OF PRIZES
WERE AWARDED.
Taken Altogether tho Affair Has
Been Very Successful In Every lie
opect Races Yesterday Were of an
Interesting Character Those Who
Won tho Various Events Myrtle
8 Gave an Exhibition in a Guldoless
Raco Somo of tho Scrantonlans
Present.
Tho closing day of the Multland fnlr
was marked by the finest races of the

ticularly tho colts and free for nil
races, Wcstlako winning the former in
tho closest contest of tho week In 2.44U,
2.4414, 2.41',i. Tho nttendnnco during
tho day was large, but not so largo
as on Thursday, about 4,000 being pres
ent. Considerable trouble was experienc
ed with the gamblers and persons that

wero expelled from thu grounds, but
continued to operate in the main road
near tho postoulce. Warrants wero
sworn out for tho arrest of parties for
selling beer, but the constable waa
not to be found, and consequently tho
offenders got off scot free, nnd con
tinued dispensing thu "cup that
cheers."
A few of tho freaks exhibited are
worthy of mention. The most remark
able ono perhaps Is a pig with three
shoulders, live legs and six feet. It la
completely helpless. "Damon and
Pythias" were the names of two eye
less and tailless calves. An apparently
sound bodied man surprised the spec
tators by the manner in which he
twisted himself in various shapes with
out any effort.
