TAKES HIS OWN LIFE
GEORGE E. ERNEST SWALLOWS
FATAL DOSE OF ACID.
Death Results Soon After He Reaches
Hospital-Had Expressed Fear
of Losing Position.

George E. Ernest, fifty-two years DID,
Woodward & Lothrop's, and lived at G33
l1th street northeast, committed suicide
about o'clock this morning by taking a
dose of carbolic acid Mrs. Ernest found
her husband in an unconscious condition
and notified the police He was hurried to
the Casualty Hospital, but lived only about
five minutes after reaching the institution.
Coroner hewitt investigated the case and
gave the necessary death certificate. The
body was removed to the late home of the
deceased, from where the funeral will take
place.
Fear of losing his position, 1t Is said,
prompted the deed. MIR. Ernest was on
duty last night as usual, and he ate break
fast upon his return home this morning.
After breakfast he remained about the
house, and when he saw his wife looking
after the weeks wash he told her 1t would
be the last washing she would do for him.
Shortly after . o'clock she went upst airs
and found the unconscious form of her
husband stretched upon the bed. The otii-
GERS who were summoned at once discov-
cred that the unfortunate man had swal-
lowed something that had burned his
mouth.
They found in his pocket a half-pint
bottle in which was some carbolic acid
and it is believed he had taken nearly a
gill of the fatal liquid. After returning
from work this morning Mr.. Ernest stated
that he had been told he was to be re-
ported for something and that he feared
the loss of his position. He seemed very
respondent, but his wife did not imagine
for an instant that he contemplated sui
eide. His wife and several grown children
survive him.
The arrangements for the funeral have
not yet been made.

LOOKING FOR CHANGES.
Rumors as to What May Occur in the
Police Force

Members of the police department are
anNiously awaiting the beginning of the
fiscal year tomorrow, because of the many
runors afioat concerning prospective
changes. Congress made provision for tif-
teen additional policemen. ten of the sec
ond class and five of class one. Provision
was also made in the appropriation bill
for ten bicycle men. A number of officers
are anxious to get the bicycle mounts. and
many others are looking for transfers or
details. 1t has also been rumored that one
or more of the lieutenants will be retired
but there was nobody at police headquar-
tiers today who could verify the rumor
There will probably be a number OF trans
fers and the detail at headquarters in the
detective office will probably be increased
II is deemed certain that all the prospective
changes will not be made tomorrow for
Maj. Sylvester has not mad time to give the
matter proper consideration.

From the Philadelphia sRress.0
The Fourth of July VIII be along this
week Friday and 1t will doubtless be cele-
brated with all the yips Ylgor and vivacity
for which young America IS famous. There
will be parades and speeches, excursions
and pcnics and music and fireworks with
out limit Enough money will be burned
up to make appreciate beginning on
that part of the Panama canal which re-
mains to be dug and enough noise will be
made, If it were all aggregated, to rival
the explosions of Mont Pelee and La Sou
friere combined.
This is all well enough SO long as no harm
comes from it. 1t affords a vent for the
pent-up patriotism of a whole year and acts
as safety valve. But unfortunately there
has been tendency in recent years to
forms of celebrating the day which have
been followed by numerous deaths and in
juries. The comparatively harmless powder
cracker and the pinwheel have been sue
ceeded by the toy cannon, the cannon crack
er, the toy pistol and the frequent use of
firearms. AS a consequence the newspa-
