"His Honor, the Mayor ~

new musical comedy will be presented
at the Columbia Theater Monday, April
%, when Alfred E. Aarons production of
His Honor, the Mayor, or the Pink Hus-
sars. will be the attraction. The book Of
the piece was written by c. e. Campbell
and r. NJ. Skinner two young western
journalists, and the score is by Julian Ed
wards and Alfred L. Aarons, both of whom
have composed scores for several musical
comedies. The rather inconsequential plot
of the piece relates to the adventures of
the Honorable Teddy Todd of Kaukakee,
H., who is sojourning in Paris and Buda-
pest, in which latter city he makes the ac-
quaintance of the Pink Hussars.' The
librettists are said to have contrived nu-
merous funny and ingenious situations.
The company is almost identical with
the one that presented the work for four
months run in Chicago this season. 1t
includes the English pony ballet of 'Piff,
Paff. Pouf" fame, and among the prin-
cipaIs there will be J. Clarence Harvey,
Mabel Hollins, Fletcher Norton W. w.
Black, Genevieve Finlay, Lora Lieb. Arthur
Earnest, John H. Pratt and f. Van

age. whose home was at 1216 Madison
street. committed suicide last night about
l0:45 o'clock at the home Of his sister, 1886

Dunn were in the house. The policemen
went to the house with Mrs. Dent, who
called at the third precinct station and ask
ed that they accompany her and do what
they could to prevent her husband from
taking his life She knew that he was
respondent because of Illness, and that he
had procured q revolver yesterday. She
thought that the police might be able to
disarm him before he used the weapon.
However, he realized the object Of their
visit when they appeared. and ended his
life In room on the upper floor while they
were ascending the stairs
When the policemen reached the house
they found Dent standing on the landing
at the top of the stairs holding a revolver
in his hand.
Don't come up here" he commanded
when he saw the uniformed men.
''Why?" one Of the policemen asked.
Because I'll fall on YOU" was the re-
Spouse.
What do you mean by that?"
II mean that my body win fall on you,'
was the quick reply.
The policemen made a quick move for the
purpose of grabbing Dent and disarming
him, but the latter stepped aside and fired
the shot that sent bullet through his
heart and ended his life. Acting Coroner
Glazebrook visited the house last night and
made an investigation. He gave the neces-
sary certificate and the body was removed
to the Madison street house.
Dent it is stated formerly lived near
Upper Marlboro, Nd, and was sentenced
to the house of correction for an assault
on another man with beer bottle. He es-
capped from that institution, the police say.
