AttcNlDt AZ Suicide.

F. Aaron Shelt a young Cincinnatian
and travelling agent of B. Bettman & Co.,
of West Pearl street, this city, attempted to
commit suicide at the Phillips House, in
Dayton, Ohio. He registered at that place
last Tuesday Yesterday afternoon a gen
tleman called to see him, and bell-boy
was sent to his room, but, on knocking,
could get no answer from the inside.
knowing him to be there, Mr.. Greer, the
proprietor, went up himself and knocked.
Still no answer. He then went on the
portico surrounding the house, and, look
ing in, saving the man standing in front OF
a mirror, washing wound in his breast.
He Immediately broke the door open and
entered, soon after which the man fell to
the floor from weakness consequent on loss
of blood, and was laid on the bed in semi
unconscious condition, from which he will
most probably never rally.
On examination, he was found to have
shot himself twice, one shot entering his
left breast just below the heart, the other
penetrating his right temple. The doctors
say either one of the wounds is severe
enough to prove fatal.
His reasons for committing such rash
act are not known, but it is supposed to bt
from dependency resulting from busines!

KELLY'S CONCERT.

Go and hear Kelly. He can Out-iddle the
world. We who know him of old need no
urging. Those who have lately attended his
concerts are unstinted i'll their praise. 1t is
the true melody of genius that comes from
his bow. Time was when Kelly also used to
play the banjo at tremendous rate. But the
violin is his instrument. He is supreme
supreme as a performer whose inspiration is
from within. He was not taught in any school.
He makes mnsic with fiddlestrings and horse
hair because he cant help it-makes music as
the birds do, for the reason he is full of it.
Also Mrs Kelly is said to be a rare musician.
By all means attend tads concert if you would
hear one of the most celebrated of modern
musicians. Go to the box Office and secure
your seat. There is no extra charge for re-
served chairs.
