Who Attempted Her Life.
HE HAD FIRED UPON HER ONCE
crazed By Drink He Forbade His Daughter
to Go to q Picnic With Her Afiancsd.
As Ho Raised His Weapons Second Time
Harvey Curtis Fired the Fatal Shot.

New YORK, June 17.-Philip Moran, As years
old. plasterer. was shot and killed at an
early hour this morning at his house by Har-
vey Curtis, % years old, the fiancee of Moran's
Oldest daughter, Frances. Moran was drunk
when he was shot, and held a revolver In his
hand which he had aimed at his daughter g
head. Curtis was arrested and held In the
Morrisonia police court to await the action Of
the coroner.
4, Moran was a widower with five children.
Curtis has been betrothed to Frances Moran
for six months. The pair intended to marry
this summer. Saturday night Curtis, with
his sister Mabel and two young men, called
at Moran's house. They with the Moran girls
had arranged to 60 to a picnic. Just as they
We're about to start Moran appeared. He
forbade Frances to go to the picnic, and
when she insisted he clutched her by the
throat and pushed her against the wall.
Mabel Curtis interceded on behalf Of her
friend, but Moran became more ugly than be-
fore. He drew a revolver and fired 1t point
blank at Frances. The ball missed its mark.
Moran then left the house.
The girls feared further trouble and begged
the young men to stay in the house to protect
them. They remained until o'clock this
morning when Moran came home crazy drunk
He again began his abuse Of his daughter and
her companion. Moran fourished his re-
volver, and made threats. The young men
did all they could TO restrain Moran and tried
to wrest his weapon from him. Frances and
Annie became frightened and ran into a rear
room. He had just raised his weapon to shoot
at Frances when Curtis drew a revolver and
fired. Moran fell to the floor, bullet
having penetrated his left lung. Before he
died he accused Ernest Fitzsimmons, one OF
the young men who came with Curtis and his
sister, of having shot him. Curtis told the
officer when he was arrested that she only

Then the iron Of jealously entered Harry
soul. Between self-disgust and suspicion
and sense of loss he was in q very bad way
indeed. The passengers made comments on
the gloomy yonlh, and many maidens eyed
him in interested pity. He was too good
looking, too interesting generally, to be SO
ill-treated by fortune. But the gloom never
lightened. and Harry stepped on to the ferry
at Jersey City feeling very much worse than
he had felt when his marriage was imminent.
He spent the night at hotel on Broadway,
and woke next morning in thorough bad
temper. He tried to understand himself.
"What do 1 want anyway" he asked himself
explosively. Il want to get of being mar
ried, and / get of. want to 20 abroad, and

to her was out of the question. He wondered
if any fellow had ever before been in SO alb
surb and pitiable position-that of being hur-
ried into marriage against his will. There
was no reason on earth why they should be
married now. Both were young enough to
wait. Again, there was no reason why they
should not be. There was plenty of money
and the union was suitable. Not loop-hole
presented itself.
As the days passed on in the maddeningly
swift manner they take on to themselves
when anything unpleasant is ahead Harry
got desperate.

eyed thought, but it had a dawn of reason
somewhere. Perhaps Lulu feels as do

effectually for the past three months at re-
hearsals. with the several societies who are to
take part, and they are perfectly satisfied
with the result of their labors.
In all there will be five concerts. The open
ing performance is at $50 o'clock on Satur-
day evening, June %, and it will be given in
honor of the visiting singers.

principle feature Of the festival. Fully 20, 600
men will be in line.

PASTOR HEz swEns SERMON.

He Tells His Congregation of People You
Are Glad You Do Not Have to Live With"
For the past few weeks the pastor Of the
Second Baptist Church, Rev. E. Hez Sven,
has been dwelling upon the most practical
subject, "People You Are Glad You Do Not
Have to Live With" which has constituted
the theme for a series of Sunday night SER
mons in the new auditorium Of the church,
corner OF Fourth street and Virginia avenue
southeast.
Last night he delivered his third homily
upon this text before large congregation,
and his remarks were listened TO very in
tently.
Mr.. Swem said that the one class Of per-
sons with whom he never wanted to have any
association was the set called "busybodies."
1t Is q trait that Is more alarmingly devel-
oped In America than In other countries.
One reason why some people liked the COM
pany OF animals was that they were not in
QuiSitive. People who are inquisitive do not
know how obnoxious the habit Is. The most
unsuccessful man alive is he who has not
enough business OF his own to occupy his
time, and goes poking around to inform
others how best to manage their affairs.
The Bible specifically commands that we
must not meddle with other mems matters.
Some adhere to Gods will. 1t is hard not to
be inquisitive, and indeed it appears to be an
almost natural pecularity of some people.
However, the best thing for humanity, II not
diverted into Unsuitable inquisitiveness, is
curiousity. People ought to be inquisitive In
their ambition to learn more Of the things OF
the day. An inquisitiveness as to the con-
tents OF the Bible should not be lacking to
anybody. Newspapers, books, novels, and
all writings should be laid aside IL their
perusal is detrimental to the learning of Gods
word.
Arts and sciences will be obliterated on the
final day Of judgment, but the truths con-
tanned in the Lords book will remain un-
altered. Man should take the good book,
withdraw to the secuson Of his own room,
and study himself. for one Of the commands
Of God is, know thyself." This age is a
busy one, and during the ordinary hum-drum
OF life's affairs he goes mechanically through
his years without meditating upon the life to
come.
An answering devotion to God should in
spire every man to study the history and bio
graphy OF the man who shed his blood to save
humanity from sin. When this study is once
begun 1t holds the interest Of the student 60
closely that it is difficult to stop. No one
ever so revealed man to man as He. He has
comprehended man and looked upon him,
and no one can stand before Him except as a
reformed sinner. Let the salvation be yours
and yours now; secure and spread knowl
edge OF Christ to all mankind, and 80 effect
their salvation.

a barrier to enjoyment as effectual as poor

Were Many and Beautiful.
The funeral of the late George F. Hendricks
took place at 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon
from the Church of the Epiphany, the Rev.
Dr. McKim, rector, officiating. The eIer-
cises were confined strictly to the service
provided by the church ritual. Preceding
the remains from the church entrance to the
altar the venerable pastor impressively re-
cited. II am the Resurrection and the Life,"
the introduction of the solemn exercises for
the burial OF the dead, and following this
was an anthem by the choir.
The entire service at the church occupied
not more than twenty minutes. Ats conclu-
sion the coffin was returned to the hearse,
and followed by the bereaved relatives and
friends, the remains were conveyed to Oak
Hill cemetery and there deposited. The pall-
bearers were selected from the employees of
Woodward & Lothrop's establishment.
They were: ]. n. Harding, V. E. Lake, P. @.

E. Mack. A delegation from Harmony Lodge.
A. F. and A. NJ, to which the deceased be-
longed, attended the obsequies uerely as an
escort. 1t being according to the desire OF the
deceased, expressed during his illness, that
the services should be conducted with as
little ostentation as possible.
The floral offerings were from his employ
ers, his associates in the store with which he

pieces, including two elaborate representa-

an anchor. and numerous other appropriate
designs. The employees at Woodward Il La
throp's, by whom deceased was held in high
esteem, have raised fund which will be de-
voted to the purchase of a suitable monument
to be erected over his grave.
The death of Mr.. Hendricks was severe
shock to his multitude of friends. He was de-
voted to his business, and labored faithfully
in the discharge OF his duty to his employers.
Nine years ago he entered the service of

chants. of this city, and at the time Of his
death was the efficient manager of their man,

How had he got into this hasty affair any,
way? Looking back, Harry couldn't in the
least remember. Lulu had been as passive
in the matter as himself. As nearly as he
could recall it, their respective families had
with malicious-malicious in the light of
Harry's subsequent feelings-and unwar-
rantable haste settled the final arrangements
as soon as their several consents had been
obtained.
''Well, suppose we must not keep the
young people waiting too long," remarked
Papa Boulton facetiously.
And Mamma Boulton chimed in: 81 really

no help for it. To explain this state Of mind
to anyone but Lulu would be to involve him.
