TAKES LIFE WITH
BORROWED PISTOL
ROBERT l.. TALLAFTRRo ENDS
LIFE AFTER BROODING OyE,
ILLNESS.

STANTON, VA, July 25.--With
a .S2-calibre rim-fire revolver borrow
ed from Mr.. Emory Wiseman about
three weeks before for the avowed
intention OF killing rats, Mr.. Robert

telling his wife good bye" but with
out giving further intimation of any
intention to end his life, went into
his garden Sunday evening at about
/ o'clock and shot himself through

most instantly
With the second report of the pis-
taL members of the family. fearing
something was wrong. went out to
investigate. His brother, Harvey

breathed his last. Tenderly they car
ried the limp form into the house, but
he was beyond human aid
For some time he had been in Ill
health caused by an ahscess of the
stomach. 1t Is supposed that this
preyed upon his mind. producing the
desperation which led to his death.
The farewell TO his wife was num-
hled rather indistinctIy, but carried
with il no significance OF his sinister
Intentions.
Two shots were heard Very plainly
with an interval of several minutes
between them. An examination later
revealed a. wound also in his leg,
evidently accidentally inflicted with
the first discharge of the weapon.
Robert L. Taliaferro was about IS
years of age and has one son, Homer,
a lad of z or IA years. by his first
wife. who died several years ago.
Later he married Mrs. Charlie Swartz,
a widow with seven children, by whom
he Is survived He also leaves two
brothers Harvey. of jennings Gap,
and John. a carpenter now living In
Clifton Forge, and one sister, Miss
Eliza Taliaferro, who lives with rela-
tives in Lone Fountain.
The funeral will take place from

ALL GIRLS IN THIS COMPANY.

1t is the boast of the Juvenile
Bostonians," that theirs is the
only theatrical or operate orsans-
cation of the kind IN the world, t..
:. every member of the company
is a girl OF course there are
men, but they occupy positions in
the business department or are part
of the stage crew. The people that
the audience see, however are all
girls. Such an arrangement is i'm
possible except in a juvenile com
pany, for while a young girl can
successfully initiate a boy OF the
same age. il is rare that a grown
up young woman can do anything
more than masquerade as a young
man.
In their years Of experience with
juvenile organizations, Mrs. E..
Lang and Bert Lang have discover
ed that the girls do the best work,
are less trouble, quicker study. more
adaptable and less liable to get
into mischief. That is why all the
male parts in the operas of the
Juvenile Bostonians" are played
by girls, none Of them over eight
cen years old. The "Jgvenile Bos-
tonians, win appear here Thursday,
