The Suicide of Government Print
ing Oa1ce EmeIoye.

ing OHce EmrIoye.
Frederic Porter Lewis. forty-One years Of
age, who was employed as a printer at the
Government Printing office. and who was
formerly street railway crossing police
man. ended his life with two bullets from
.3S-calibre revolver about 3 o'clock this
morning The tragedy took place in the
room of Mrs Amanda V. Exner at her
home, 472 O Street northwest.
Mrs. Exner was not in her room at the
time When she heard the pistol shots she
summoned aid and DR.. William p Gill. of
sos O Street. who responded stated that
death had been almost instantaneous The
police were then notified and the body was
removed to the morgue.
Coroner Carr viewed il and decided thai
an inquest was unnecessary.
The circumstances attending the suicide
of Lewis show that the deed was delibe=-
ate Mrs Exner is positive that Lewis
fired two shots The revolver corrobOr-
ated her statement, and yet there is only
one bullet hole in the temple of Lewis.
Moreover. there is no other wound on any
portion of the body. Coroner Carr ex-
pressed the opinion that both bullets had
entered at the same point 1t is possible
that Lewis held the revolver, which is OF
the self-acting variety, close to his temple
and pulled the trigger twice.
According to Mrs. Exner, Lewis had been
on a spree since Washingtons Birthday.
He had not paid his board bill. and that.
together with the fact that he was drink
ing caused Mrs. Exner to demonstrate
with him. He is said to have promised to
reform, and when he left the house to go
to work yesterday morning he said he
would return at o'clock in the evening
and settle his bill Lewis did not put. in
an appearance until o'clock this morning
Mrs Exner stated that he was very
much under the. influence of drink. and be-
cause of his enormous size, being over six
feet in height and weighing 245 pounds. he
made considerable noise as he came up the
stairway Mrs. Exner heard Lewis NUT
tprinp tn himself

OIu m bia-"The First Violin

When Richard Mansfield's stage manager
had given his three signals for attention
signals remindful of nothing more than the
COmedie Francaise--and the curtain rose
on THE First Violin" last night at the
Columbia il revealed to the actors as brill
liant an audience as has ever assembled III
Washington. Perhaps, the social position
of many in that audience may have ac-
counted for the fact that applause was not
loud during the performance, thought 1t Is
undeniable that the adaptation OF jessie
Fothergill's book is not so good play as
are some in which Mr.. Mansfield appears
The work abounds in caricatures ana sew
eral of its incidents literally are farclcal.
The star assumes the role of Eugen Cour-
voisier with his accustomed display OF per-
sOnality and saves the Offering from being
dull and uninteresting. Ethel Knight Mo-
lison. who has supplanted Katherine Grey
as Mr.. Mansfield's leading woman, Is an
adequate May Wedderburn. The remain
der of the cast named above Is neither bet
ter nor worse than usual. 'Cyrano de Ber-
gerac" will be done this evening at 80.

if the management has number of in

duction in soap advertisements. only five
of the sixteen entertainers introduced are
not superior in their separate lines. Per
haps the best OF these sixteen are the

Academx-"The Queen of Chinatown"

For many years Davis & Keogh en-
ioyed the enviable reputation of direct
ing the worthless presentations of more
worthless plays than were owned by any
other two men in the country. Matters
finally became so bad that the inhabitants
of small towns took resource in physical
force and the managers of certain thea
tres refused to book the attraction of the
company Accordingly the firm dissolved.
If one may judge from the performance OF
THE Queen Of Chinatown, given by
William T. Keogh's organization last night
at the Academy of Music, half the COM
bination has a deal more than half the
former power of sending on the road poor
shows The Queen of Chinatown" is a
melodrama w4,nout redeeming feature.
A few members of the cast are fair, but
the majority are utterly worthless. The
entire productnon is of the cheapest type.
Laura Biggar, Will S. Hawkins, and 9TH
