Idaho Soldier, Inmate of Asylum for
Insane. Commits Suicide.

Henry Wendt, the Idaho volunteer who
disappeared from St. Elizabeth's Asylum
five days ago, as published in the Star at
the time committed suicide, his dead body
having been found in the woods not far
from the asylum late yesterday afternoon.
razor with which he had cut his throat
was found near his body. Four colored
boys who went to Eaton's woods, near the
north wall of the asylum, yesterday to pick
wild flowers found the body.
The deceased was thirty-four years old,
and was a native of Illinois. He enlisted
as a volunteer for service in the Spanish
American war, and was assigned to Com
pany II, LIST Idaho Volunteers. From Idaho
he went to California with his regiment,
expecting to be sent out of the country, but
before the time he was to go he showed
symptoms of a disordered mind. With 9th
ers who had been bereft of reason Wendt
was brought to this city and placed in the
asylum. After being under treatment sew
eral months he showed signs of improve
ment
During recent weeks he was permitted to
go about the grounds and the doctors had
strong hopes for his ultimate recovery.
Friday he had dinner at noon. and after
that time nothing was seen of him. 1t was
believed that he had left this section of the
country and started west. where his rela-
tives live 1t is now made plain that his
purpose in leaving the institution was TO
commit suicide After reaching a secluded
spot in the woods he removed all his cloth
ing and cut his throat.
His body was in bad state of decompo-
sition. Coroner Carr concluded, from state
ments made to him, that the unfortunate
man had ended his own life, and gave q
certificate accordingly. The body was
buried in the asylum cemetery.

COLUMBIA THEATER.-"A Bachelor

pen of Martha Morton. which was written
especially for Sol Smith Russell and which
served that well-beloved actor so success

associates of the Columbia Stock Company
at the Columbia Theater, following Men

scenery used by Mr.. Russell in the produc-
ton of "a Bachelors Romance has been
secured by the management of the Column

Berger, Mr.. RusselFs manager. Judging
by the more than creditable account which

1NcREAsE IN FORCE.
Chief of Police Preparing for Changes
Provided For.

Provided For.
Maj. Sylvester. chief Of police, will soon
begin preparations for the changes that
are likely to be made in the police force at
the beginning Of the next fiscal year. 1t is
the belief Of the District officials that the
appropriation bill. as It now stands, will be
passed. Should their anticipations be rea-
lied, there will be a number Of promotions
and appointments made
The bill provides for an increase Of fifteen
men of the second class, which means that
this number of first class privates will re-
ceive promotions from the $75 to the 500
grade One sergeant provided for will also
make room for a promotion. Two clerks
for duty in the chiefs office. one driver and
two detectives are also provided for, ana
SIX additional men will be mounted. 1t Is
believed the men to be promoted from the
lower to the higher class will be taken IN
the order of their terms of service.
Provision for house of detention Is also
made, and II this item remains In the bill
1t will be the duty of Maj Sylvester to
secure suitable quarters. 1t is his desire to
get building centrally located. in order
that the prisoners who are detained there
may be taken to court with as little trou-
BILE and delay as possible.
One of the important items in the bill Is
the provision for a tenth precinct. The
present bill carries an amount sufficient for
the purchase of the ground and the con-
structfon of the buildings. There Is no pro-
vision for equipping the precinct, but 1t is
believed that ample provision will be made
by Congress during the early part of next
winters session for putting the precinct in
working condition.
This precinct. as heretofore stated in The
star, Is to be located in the county north Of
the city, but until the bill is actually passed
nothing will be done toward getting a
building site.

Sentence Imposed Upon Jay Holland,
Who Confessed to Libel.
Rather Unexpectedly. after the jury in the
Pallesen murder trial had retired late yes
terday afternoon, the case of Jay G. Hol-
land, indicted for libel. the prosecuting wit
ness being Senator Taliaferro Of Florida.
was called to the attention Of Justice Cla-
baugh in Criminal Court No. 1. Holland
several days ago pleaded guilty. He was
taken into court yesterday for sentence.
Attorney D. w. Baker made an appeal for
leniency. and, in connection Herewith, read
a statement. signed by Holland, declaring
that there was no truth in the published
charges against Senator Taliafarro. and ex-
planning that he had been importuned to
make them by ex-senator Call, the lat
ter promising to secure for Holland, the
latter declared, an easy job under the gov
eminent.
Justice Clabaugh, before passing sentence,
announced that the statement read TO the
court had aggravated rather than pal
lated Hollands offense. His personal
promptings, Justice Clabaugh said. were to
send the defendant to the penitentiary, but
in view of all the circumstances he would
make the sentence six months in the Dis
trict Jail.

GOVERNMENT CLERKS FATE.
Interesting Conf rmatiOn of Probable
Democratic Candidates. Statement.

Interesting Conf rmatiOn of Probable
Democratic Candidates. Statement.
Two government clerks. in the lobby of
an uptown hotel last evening, were discuss
ing the probability of the second nomina-
ton Of William ]. Bryan the candidate
for the presidency on the democratic ticket,
and its relation to official Washington in
general and to government clerks In par
ticular.
One of the men was from the north. HIS
companion hailed from the land of cotton.
You are too sanguine," said the former,
Sin your belief that you and the other
southerners in the executive departments
have nothing to fear in the event of Mr..
Bryan's election, you basing your belief
upon the fact that if he be elected 1t will
be by southern votes, and, therefore, he will
not carry out toward you his declaration
that, If elected all-all, mind you, were
his words-of the clerical force here would
be changed for the good of the service, he
not believing in life tenure or in long
terms. You fellows will go with US, for, IN
the remote possibility of the gentleman
election, northern votes as well as those
from the south of the Potomac Will land
him in the presidential chair, and we Will
have an equal hold upon him..
True. in a political sense, SAID the
southern man, but the influences of the
democratic party are such that, II elected,
Mr.. Bryan would find 1t impossible to re-
sst them when exerted in behalf of south
ern man. They would be SO exerted, and
you would find that We would remain in
and the others would go out"
II wish 1 had your happy faith in the
future, but you are cilnginS to the wrong
anchor continued the New Yorker. II will
give you slight but exceedingly interest
ing bit of information, which, like the straw
in the street. indicates accurately the di-
rection of wind.
Whatever else Mr.. Bryan may be lack
ing in, it is not in the courage of his con-
victions, which excites even the admiration
of his political opponets, and none doubts
that he will carry them out. That's why
you want him for President, isn't it? OF
course.
HE has made the declaration we are dis
cussing A lady friend of mine. who is in
office, was very apprehensive lest, in the
event of his election. he would put it in
practice. 1t happened that she was well
acquainted with Mrs. Bryan, to whom she
addressed personal letter, trusting that
the reply would ease her mind, and that
Mrs Bryan would say that her husband
made the statement for political effecI, CT
words to that effect.
1.-The reply arrived here in due course,
and this sentence l commend to those Of
you chaps who are going to vote for him
If you have the opportunity. 1t is: William
made the statement you refer to, and he
always stands by his word
"If you can get any more comfort out
of it than my lady friend, you are well
come"
