Thereckless handling of a rifle, yeav
tordey morning, resulted in the death of
John Derdoe. a young Hungarian resid-
ing at 128 Ely avenue.
Dardos was the possessor of a thirty-
two calibre Remington rifle, which he
was handling most carelessly. a number
of people younger than himself being in
the room.
'He pointed it at a lad. who pushed the
muzzle aside. cautioning Dardce to be
more careful. The letter lsughingly rs-
plied that the rifle was his and he was
positive it was not loaded.
At this time Dsrdoe was seated on e
, trunk, with the rifle grasped in his hands.
It is presumed the trigger struck the side
of the trunk. Instantly there was a loud
report. and Dardcs fell over to the floor.
'The bullet had entered his chin. near the
jaw hens, and passing up, through his
head struck the ceiling, tearing off a
piece of the plaster.
Medical Examiner Burke was im-
mediame notified of the accident, and
with Dr. J. F. Kennedy at once repaired
to the scene. Dardos was dying when
they arrived, end lived but a very short
while afterward. He was in the seven-
teenth year of his age.

In spite of the humidity of the atmos-

attended at the East Avenue Methodist

Smith preached a most effective sermon

said that the religion of Jesus Christ did
not command its subjects to a blind. un-

investigation and stood the test of exper-

Other Opinions.
Our would-be competitors have been
forced to draw upon outside sources for
favorable opinions of their encyclopedia.
Let us submit an opinion from a reput-
able business man In Pennsylvania. who
has evidently made a pretty thorough in-
vestigation of the encyclopedia question.
Elle opinion was given while the Plhl-
adelphia Record was offering to its
readers the same edition of Britannica
which Tris Susi-mat. is now selling at
such a low price.

I purchased the Werner edition of the
Encyclopedia Britannica. now handled
by the Record. some months ago, and
have given it frequent examinations. I
find, on comparing with Johnson's, that
it is more thorough and exhaustive, and.
also. that I have made the more judi-
cious choice of the two.
