On Monday evening julius Eude and his wife,
JULIA attempted suicide at their residence In York
street, Jamaica, l.. l., by severing the arteries in
their arms and legs. From all that can be learned
of the case IL appears that Eudc could not md en-

and his bettcr haf'' resolved on self-destruction.
The most shocking incident In the affair was
the cool and deliberate manner in which
they set about performing the deed. They bathed
themselves, put on clean linen, and julius, after
sharpening his razor, cut the main artery in his
lett arm and then the one In his leg. His wife took
the steel and followed his example. They then

Italian Opera-Miss KeIlOgg's BenefKt.
The dresry, cheerless weather Of last evening
sadly interfered with the attendance at the Acad-
envy OF Music. There were two features calculated
TO interest opera goers-first the beneat and fare
well Of the most popular " American singers, and
then the debut Of a new tenor. The opera was
"Martha," which may be considered as a faelange
OF popular tunes or o concert in costume. Miss
Kellogg is entirely at home in the sparkling music

unusually Kind audience and conservatory Of
Moral tributes laid at her feet seemed 10 inspire her
to special efforts She was enthusiastically encored
in 'The Last Rose Of SUMMER and repeatedly
called before the curtain at the close of each act
The new tenor, Signor verati, was the Lionel Of
the occasion. His voice, obscured by huskiness or
nervousness in the soto pro0o, recovered itself In
the succeeding numbers OF his role and In his singing
OF the weilknown "M'appari" one could form o
very good idea Of his value as an addition to the

able one. His voice, small in tone and flexible to

can scarcely tolerate mediocre Nancy Jamet's
Punkett was characterized by all the spirit and
finish Of this panstaking artist, and he received a
recall for the Porter song. The chorus was mex
cusably bad. and the orchestra, at times, little
better. Tonight the troupe appear IN Philadel-
phia and will not be likely to sing here again
this season. There Is q rumor OF Tamberlik sea-
son after Easter but as that managerial tenor has
scarcely the shadow OF company left 1t Is hard to
see how that can be efected. 1t is very probable
that we shah have to wait with due patience until
the Fall, when Lucca and Nilsson will return to u.s.
Nine. Lucca purposes spending the Summer at
Narragansett, and Miss Kellogg will likely go to
London.
