A Straight
Talk on Paint.

To Put off painting is aaStefHI
negligence.
To use poor PAINTS false economy.
Good paint used when needed is
a profitable tn0eStment-not an ex-
pense.
No argument needed on these
points, no investigation-but the
selection of a good paint is a prob
lem, and hard one, too.
Why? Because there is so much
fraud in the paint business. It's
so easy to fool the people on paint.

Fatal Accident In harrisburg.


From the Martinsburg Daily World
we take the particulars of the shoot
ing of Miss Azzie Shepherd Otty, aged
81 years, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Otty, formerly of Rocky
Marsh, west of Shepherdstown. The
distressing occurrence took place last
Sunday evening at the home of s. V.
Fiery in Martinsburg. and the young
woman met her death at the hands of
Benjamin Fiery, boy IL years old.
The accident occurred in the room
Of the dead girls mother, and was
witnessed by Miss Ella Otty, sister of
the young lady, and another young
lady, who had accompanied her from
Washington on Sunday morning.
The three young ladies were seated
in the room, while the mother had
gone downstairs to prepare the even
Ing meal. Mr.. and Mrs. Fiery were
away from home at the time, having
gone for drive. Little Ben was in
his fathers room, which adjoins the
room in which the ladies' were seated.
He had his cat rife in his hands, and
was playing with the weapon, being
seated beside the bed, with the rife
resting across the bed and pointed
toward the open door leading into the
adjoining room. Miss Otty was seat
ed near the window, directly in line
with the rife. The lad, catching
sight of her, called out:
ooh, Miss Otty. don't you wish to
go down in the yard and see me shoot
at a mark ?"
The young lady replied carelessly
to the boy, saying that she did not
wish to 90, and the words had scarce
ly left her lips before the weapon was
exploded. The bullet struck her in
the left temple, and she fell back in
her chair with a scream. Horrihed
by the sight, the lad began screaming,
crying out, ooh, I've killed Miss
Azzie |"
The others Immediately went to
the assistance of the injured girl,
and attracted by the cries from the
room the mother also. ian in. DR..
Sencindiver was Immediately sum-
moned, and arrived in a few minutes,
but the young lady was dead when
he reached her side, having expired
in a very short time after the bullet
entered her head, without regaining
consciousness.
The scene in the room when the
girl was pronounced dead was heart.
rending. The grief of the mother
and sister and the frenzied cries OF
the lad as they bent over the form OF
the dead girl were touching in the
extreme. The little fellow Was al
most crazed by the terrible accident,
and could give no coherent account
of how the gun had been discharged.
Later in the evening the remains
of Miss Otty were taken to the home
of her uncle, Thomas Callahan, on
South Maple avenue, where they
were prepared for burial, and where
many friends called to express their
sorrow and sympathy with the family
of the dead lady. The funeral was
held Tuesday afternoon, and the body
was inferred in the cemetery at Mar
tinsburg.
Miss Otty, in company with her
sister and a friend, had gone to Mar
tinsburg on the excursion from Wash
ington on Sunday morning, and were
to have returned Sunday evening.
They were visiting their mother at
Mr.. Fiery's home when the distress
ing accident took place. Miss Otty
was employed in one of the govern,
ment departments at Washington and
had been residing there for some time.
