OLD MONK ENDS LIFE
Shoots Himself with Pistol
in New York Monastery.
GIVES WAY TO DESP0NDENCY
PenBiIess, Theodore S1ayinski, ~
Years of Age. Buys n Revolver with
The Bishop TO Receive Blessing, Is
Thought to Have GreYFn Impatient.

New York Jan. Clothed in tat
tered garments long out of date. and
bearing other evidences Of extreme pow
erty. the body of Theodore Slavinski.
eighty-One years old. a novice from a
monastery I'm South Canaan. Pa, was
found to-day stretched across bed
in little room on the top floor Of the
monastery attached to the ST. Nicholas
Russian Cathedral. at - East Ninety
seventh street
There was bullet wound ia the old
mans mouth. and blood stained his
patriarchal beard lie Clasped in his
right hand a revolver.
The coroner thought that SlsyiHski
must have ended his mysterious life
early last evening.
Carrying miserable old vaiise. the
aged man first appeared at tho St Mich
Olas Monastery last Saturday and said
he wanted TO see the archbishop The
latter was away and Slavinski was di-
rectcd 20 take the room on the top
floor and await his return.
SIavinski told the inmates he desired
blessing from the archbishop.
He only associated with others in the
house at meal times He was a vege-
tartan, and his mode OF living evidently
did not agree with him. for his long
face was pale and haggard. and he
looked considerably taller than the six
feet he measured
Two nights ago SiaviHski revealed
the fact that ne was pcnniless. and
somebody loaned him Sc 1t is believed
he bought the revolver with this money.
Dean HOtOvitzky told the coroner
that Slavinski had gone TO the St
Tikhon Monastery and Orphans Home
in South Canaan, Pa, about year ago.
The dean thought the old man might
have had tho idea that he was being
sidetrackcd because the archbishop did
not appear. AS il happened. the prel-
ate was engaged with other matters
which he could not l~ave for the sake
OF the aged man from New Canaan.
The dean added that Slavinski had
been received with the utmost hospital
ity. as is always the custom with those
who seek the shelter of the house.

done. 1t is intimated that clerkships are
paid for universally. whether the work
IS Onerous or not. and that the present
attempt is to make Gamble a scapegoat.
It is also charged that Senator Kittredge
permitted his own law partner, z. r
Winans. TO draw a salary as a Senate
committee clerk while he was at Sioux
