STABBED SELF THREE TIMES
August SeefeIdt Missed Jugular Vein
Twice-Hid His Weapon.
IFrom Tuesdays Daily. J

County Coroner Dr. Kindred OF
Meadow Grove arrived here yesterday
noon to hold an inquest over the body
of August Seefeldt, who committed
suicide at the home of his brother,
John Seefeldt in Edgewater Park
sometime during Sunday night. After
viewing the situation, and finding no
evidence of foul play the coroner de-
cided that a jury was unnecessary,
and found that the deceased came to
his death at his own hands by stab
bing himself in the neck. There were
three holes in the right side of the
neck. Evidently the first two attempts
missed the jugular vein, but the third
did the work.
The body was removed to the under
taking establishment of Sessions &
Bell and prepared for interment.

PIANO RECITAL
Large and Enthusiastic Audience At
tended koenigstein Event.
lFrom SnturhnN.s DnIlvl

From Saturdays Dailv1
The first Of the pupils rccitals OF
Mr.. KOenigstein was given Friday night
in the NJ. Il. church. The program
was interesting from a musical stand
point on account Of the different styles
of composition represented, which
gave the pupils an opportunity TO dis
play their ability both intellectually
and technically. One Of the features
Of the evening was the masterful inter-
Drctation of Mason's Silver Spring,
OPUS six. This concert number APP
pears on the programs Of Paderewski
and other great pianists. Mr.. Ahl-
mann played it with dash and bril-
llancy. 1t was the opinion of many
that it was one of the most difficult
pieces ever played before a Norfolk
audience. Mr.. Ahlmann was recalled
several times. Mr.. Solomon was heard
to good advantage in the November
Song" which was sung with color and
exquisite shading. Mr., Solomon is
gifted with a true tenor voice which is
smooth, flexible and always musical
in quality. The violin obligato blends
beautifully with the voice and the
piano and at no time Is there monot-
ony. In writing songs it is necessary
to set the music to the words, for
where the words read, THE myriad
voices of the wood have fed, the sullen
brook creeps through the faded green
and winter calls" etc, it would be
necessary to write it in the relative
minor to the major key, owing to the
sad remembrance of the sentence.
Then again, later it becomes fiery,
sentimental and emotional. when to
your lips, loves little answer stole,
ran" etc When this song can be in
vested with the charm that Mr., Koen-
igsten intended it can be sung TO
great advantage.
MISS Herman's Spring Song" was
well received Some of the pupils
showed signs of nervousness, but there
has never been and never will be a
recital of this kind given without the
usual signs of nervousness.
Despite the inclemency of the wealth
er a large and enthusiastic audience
was In attendance, showing by goner
Gus applause its appreciation of the
program.
Some of the features in tonight's re-
oital viii be- the rendition Of he beau
