thet day. Mr.. Bartells was booKkeeper
for the PAbst Brewing COMPANY, and
went to Newport News last June fcom
Baltimore. Bariells had been using
liquor freely for several days, and yes
terday morning bis manager went ont
to hunt him up In order that be might
transact some business with him. The
manager found him and the two started
TO return to the Office. Bsrtells entered
q saloon for a drink and then passed
into a rear room. As the door closed
on him shot was heard, and when the
attendants rushed In they found MIN
dead oo the floor with revolver by
his side. Just what caused tie unior
inmate maa TO commit suicide is not
known. Az the offics Of the company
il was said last night that his accounts
are straight. Mr.. BArtells was %
wears OF age aud has q wife ano
two children living ia Baltimore.
He married Mics Olivia Schneider,
daughter Of Mr.. Jus;us Schneider, OF

increase his illness, az shortly alter bis
arrival 10 Virginia he was attacked by
malarial fsyer aud his health gradually
grew worse. Mrs. Bsrtells received
letter from her husband last Monday,
10 which be complained OF the climate

broken. Mrs. Bsrtells and children
left Baltimore today to attend the

"a TRIP TO CooNTowN."-TheIe has been
some criticism. and not entirely without rea-
son, of the bread character Of the story told
in many OF the coon" songs which one hears
nowadays at roof gardens and vaudeville
houses, That there is a coarseness In som
Of these songs which offends is undenisble
A striking feature of Cole aud Johnson's "A
Trip to Coontown" is the entire absence oil
any song that savors in the slightest degree
Of vu'gsritY. Tt er coon songs" treat only on
the humorous phases Of Coorsa life. Tn
