COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Michael Richard Bright Becomes De-
spondent Through Business Reverses.

Michael Richard Bright. thirty-fve years
oid, an oil speculator, from Pueblo Col,
committed suicide at the Iriquos Hotel,
bunalo, N. Y, Saturday night by taking
iaudanum. Business reverses are said to
have been assigned as the reason for the
commission of the deed. His hotel bill was
paid with money obtained by pawning his
watch.
In the pockets of the dead mans clothing
were certificates Of an Indiana oil COM
pany. A letter found on him. addressed
to Senator Depew, reads:
Years ago 1 had the pleasure Of meet
Ing you, and l have striven to make a
success in life as you have done as you
were my ideal as man. My effort has
been a futile one, God knows, hence my
desire to end it.
If you'll write my wife and also my
boy. give the lad letter that In after life
Will strengthen him, for l pray God that
no hereditary tendency of his father will
ever develop in him. This Is a peculiar re-
quest coming from one who. perhaps you
Will not remember but you'll recollect TO
write to the boy, I hope The names are
Mrs. Ida NJ. Bright and Richard Thatcher
Bright, Pueblo, Col. May your life be full
OF happiness and free from care
Senator Depew says he does not remem-
Der having met the young man. He had
not received the letter yesterday. and until
he does receive it he does not know what
he will do.

CITY AND DISTRICT.
The Saengerbund's Concert.

The second public concert of the Wash
ngton Saengerbund which took place last
night at the National Theater. proved a de-
cidedly enjoyable affair to the big audience
present. As much was expected. The pro-
gram, as usual, was made up principally Of
German choruses, rendered by sixty or
more singers, under the dire ction Of Mr.
Henry Xander. Miss Hildegard Hoffman,
was the soioist Of the evening. She pos
sesses clear soprano voice Of plea sing
quality, and was enthusiastically applauded
throughout. Lee Schulz who was to have
played several cello selections, was de-
tained elsewhere, President Claudy of the
Saengerbund announced, and did not make
his appearance.
The choral program opened with the
well-knoWn German song. "Wen, Webb and
Gesang," the music of which was written
by Johann Strauss. As the name Of the
composer indicates. the song has the
rhythm Of the waltz. 1t was rendered In ex-
cellent style by the Saengerbund. Mr. Kan
der was called before the curtain a number
OF times.
Prior to this chorus the orchestra of
forty had rendered the overture of Flotow' s
"Stradella" in good style. Miss Hoffman,
first sang Micaela's prayer from Carmen" :"
with full orchestra accompaniment. Later
she gave several short German songs that
Were well received. The Saengerbund chorus
was also heard in several additional selec-
tons.
