The hot waves are welcomed by barbers as well as by lob men, for their revenue is greatly Increased during the summer months. Men have their hair! cut more frequently, with the mistaken idea that the head is proportionately cooler and their beards grow with greater I rapidity. Those who shave every other day in winter find daily applications of the razor necessary when the dog star blaxes and although they can give you no scientific reason for the additional growth, their increased barber's bills attest that the growth is there. As one barber put it yesterday: "The beads of perspiration act upon tho beard exactly like rain drops on weeds.

A sensational suicide occured in this city last Sunday afternoon about two o'clock. Frank Marting, a barber, aged 24, who came here from Cincinnati six months ago, has been paying attention to Ml?s Lena Webber, aged 30, residing at Twentlenth and Chestnut streets Both are Germans. The girl heard that Marting was married, and told him that he would have to stop coming to see her On Sunday afternoon he called at the Webber residence, finding the girl in the parlor, the other members of the family out in the yard. Marting tried to persuade Miss Webber to receive him again, but she refused. Without a word he took out a pencil and began writing on apiece of paper. When he had finished he put the note in his pocket, drew a revolver, and holding it to his right temple, fired and fell dead upon tho fioor, the bullet coming out at the left ear. The girl, as may bo supposed, was greatly shocked. She fell to the floor and has since been very much prostrated. The note was to his father in Cincinnati, telling of what be intended doing, and asking that he be buried simply. Iu answer to a telegram the body was buried here.

To-night Mr. Aiden Benedict with his own dramatic company will present the great drama of "Monte Christo." 0n its presentation in Boston, Mr. Benedict adopted the novel advertising scheme of placing 95,000 in a prominent show win' dow as a guarantee that his production was as perfect a production of the play

Next Wednesday evening the sweet singing German comedian, Charles A. Gardner, vciil present his revised comedy 'The New Karl." The Cleveland Plaindealer savs: "HeshowB a great deal of improvement since he was last seen here. His acting shows more refinement, and his voice is HI sweet and beautiful as ever. This season he sings some of his old successes and several new songs among whi-i are "Pretty Bobolink," "Shut Your Eyes Tightly," "French Conviqt," "«.'Iock Mendei," "Vienna Flower Girl,'* "Chamois Hunter." "Jack in the Box" and "Lullaby." Anew top ical song, "I Wonder What's the Reason Why, Because," is sung with good success by Miss Marie DeLane.

The dramatic event of the season will occur next Thursday evening when the great tragedian, Mr. Keene and his excellent company wiil appear at the Opera House in Shakespeare's greatest tragedy, Hamlet.

Mr. Keene is so well know that he does not need a word of praise and his company is highly spoken of everywhere and is undoubtedly au unusually strong one. It numbers twenty people, several of whom are almost as well Tcnown as the star himself. Among them are Geo. Learock, who for the past two seasons has been staring in Beacon Lights. Arthur Elliot who is an Australian favorite and Miss Louise Pomeroy, who has been at the head of her own company in Shakespearean roles. The sale of seats opens Tuesday morning. Prices, $1-00, 75c, 50c and 25c.

BITS OF WISDOM. No man is rich who wants more than he has got.

Health can be bought, but you have got to pay for it with temperance at the highest rates.

Tou can't hire a man to be honest he will want his wages raised eveiy morning.

Self-made men are'most always apt to be a little too proud of the job.

Trusting to luck is only another name for trusting

to laziness. The man who never makes any blun ders seldom makes any good hits.

To be thoroughly good natured, and yet avoid being imposed upon, sho.vs great strength of character.

(Since this statement was made it is possible that the growth of the New York World entities it to first place.] The Graphic to-day devotes a page to sketches o!' scenes in and about its establishment. The history of this paper is probably without a parallel in the annals of American journalism. It was founded December 30th, 1875, and was the first low-priced daily successfully established in the West# At the end of its first year it had achieved a circulation of about 10,000. From that time on its growth has been remarkable. It now prints seven editions daily, comprising both morning and evening issues. Its statement of circulation for the year 1884 shows a daily average of 125,178 copies, unquestionably the largest daily circulation on the American continent (The sworn statement for 1887 shows a daily average of 165,376.)
