POVERTY, LOVE, DESPAIR.
st. Clair May Be in River, as HI
Suggested in Note.

Members of the crew of the police boat
were engaged about the Highway bridge
this morning dragging for the body OF
Frank st. Clair, a carpenter, who left
note in his room yesterday declaring his
purpose to jump overheard near the
bridge.
Friends say the young man has been de-
spondent lately because of lack of money
to prosecute love affair in Philadelphia.
He had never indicated that he thought
of ending his life until yesterday.
ST. Clair came here from Roanoke. Va.
and was employed by i. S. Goldsmith, sign
painter at 421 18th street. He occupied a
room in the apartment of X. l.. Summers
over the paint establishment.
Friends last saw st. Clair about noon
yesterday. Last evening they found on q
dresser in his room a note which reads:
Mac and Bob:
you will find me below the Highway
bridge
Get my laundry from the Chinaman in
E street and send what l have to my
home. Do not tell them where l am,
And oblige. FRANK.
'.Gocd-by''
Last Saturday ST. Clair told friends he
expected he would receive sum of money
from New York and that he was going to
Philadelphia. The money. 1t is believed.
did not come.
Yesterday he watched the mails for the
letter. He seemed greatly disappointed at
not receiving the money. saying unless
he did receive it he would be unable to so
to Philadelphia to see his sweetheart
The laundry ticket mentioned in the
note was found in the room that st. Clair
occupied
Mr. Goldsmith and Mr.. Summers called
at police headquarters and asked Inspect.
or Boardman to have the river dragged.
They showed Inspector Boardman the
note that had been found in the room OF
the missing man and furnished a descrip-
ton of him.

OPENS A NEW SEASON.
Philadelphia Orchestra Gives Con-
cert Before Critical Audience.

Before an unusually critical assembling
composed of many we'll known musicians.
professional and amateur. many Of them
prominent in local society, at the National
Theater yesterday afternoon. the Phila-
delphia Orchestra gave its opening con-
cert of the season. The quiet sincere
appreciation of the audience was mani
fest from the entrance of the conductor,
Mr. Pohlig, until the close of the well ar
ranged program.
The observation-disclosures ''Euryanthe''
overture Tschaikowsky's fourth sympho-
ny and Chabrier's "Espana" rhapsody, for
the orchestra offerings. and a familiar
aria and group of songs interpreted by
Nine Homer-were given unostentatously.
Forced effects and emphasis on original
conceptions in the reading were not ap-
parent The calmer moments showed the
good results of careful and frequent re-
hearsals: the climaXeS were Impressive.
The contrasts in successive mood tab
leaux in the symphony were clearly de-
fined The third movement was given its
fullest measure of frolicsome humor. The
faultless rendition of the solo instru-
mental parts of frequent occurrence dur
ing the symphony. was a pleasing fea-
ture of the concert. 4 vast Improvement
in the orchestra was noticeable. especially
in the quality and execution Of its brass
parts.
There was soothing pathos and freedom
from vibration in Nine. Louise Homer
numbers; her short solos were accom-
panied by orchestra instead of piano She
sang Gluck's aria. Il Have Lost My Eu-
rydice': Schumann's Der Nussbaum :
Brahms ''Sapphic Ode and Schubert 8
Die Allmacht.'
Mrs. Roosevelt occupied one of the
boxes. and with her We're Miss Ethel
Roosevelt Mrs Metcalf wife of the Sec
rotary of the Navy; Mrs Afford Cooley
and Mrs. Prall-knorr. Many of the
most prominent society people of Wash
ington were present, making q notable
audience socially.
