The noted journalist and author Dr. A. Mels died yesterday at his home in Summerdale, 66 years old. He had written quite a few good stories, novels and theaterplays in Germany. For some time he was a correspondent for German and English Newspapers in Paris and finally came in 1892 to America, to settle down in Chicago.

Dr. A. Mels never was married and was supported mainly by his friends, before death came. He will be buried in the Graceland cemetery.
