IF there Is q ladies entrance at the
hotel you will probably find bell boy
near at hand who will take your card
to your friend. There is no objection
to going to the desk, but it is sometimes
embarrassing for young woman to do
so, and the best plan is to find the par
lor and call boy to take your card.
Unless you are on very intimate terms
with your friend It is better to send the
card and not go directly to the room.

to start the season May 30th and to

DOVER CITIZEN COMMITS SUICIDE.
JOhn c. HeIbIng a WeIl-KrOwn Shoemaker
Becomes DespOndeat and ends his life by
Revolver Shot in his Place Of Business.

John G. Helbing, a shoemaker of
Dover, was found dead in his shop on
South State steet. Monday morning
shortly after o'clock, where he had
committed suicide by shooting him
self in the left breast, close to the
heart. The discovery was made by
Miss Sallie Watson who, in company
with a gentlemen, had gone to the
shop to take a pair of shoes. When
the door was opened the sight that met
the eyes of the two was sickening.
Near his bench, with his shirt bloody,
his eyes black and his hands extended,
lay the body of the unfortunate Ger
man, while sone distance away,
where he had evidently thrown 1t, was
the revolver with which he had taken
his life. The floor in different places
was bloody, it being the impression
that he sat in chair some three feet
from his bench, shot himself and then
crawled toward his bench. That he
must have committed the act between
$50 and o'clock is evidenced from
the fact that at s. 30 he was seen by
John COhee going to his shop. Mem
bers of his family state that he left the
house that morning shortly after 4
o'clock, but as he generally arose
about that time, nothing unusual was
thought of his early rising. That his
act was premeditated is inferred from
a remark made by him Sunday night
that it would be his last On earth, but
the family paid no particular attention
to this remark. The revolver was
loaned to him by Enoch David, 8
neighbor, on Thursday 81 last week,
Helbing declaring that he desired it to
shoot a cat which was giving them
trouble at the house. To Rev. L. E.
Barrett, pastor of Wesley M. E.
Church, where Helbing has been at
tending for several years, he declared
only few days ago, that he could
not bear it much longer. referring to
his desire for drink and his inability
to refrain from drinking to excess.
Coroner Bradley will investigate.

The race track of the Belmont Driv-
ing Park Association which for several
years has been situated nearly op-

a thing of the past. Owing to lack of

buildings removed to the farm of
