Mr. Edward See is another comedian to whose fortunate lot in a very droll part in the play falls the now well-known line: “Isn't this an awfully jolly party?" Others in the cast are Charles Stedman, F. Robin- son and Edwin James. The company, will be a very large one, as it includes, bésides the principals, a quartet for the choir © in the chureh scene and a numerous e of pretty young women who are guests at the fancy dress party in the first act and the bridesmaids and guests in the hurch scene in the second act.

COLUMBIA THEATER.—“To Oblige Benson,” a thirty-minute curtain-raiser, was put on at the Colum night, pre- ceding the performance of “A Scrap of Paper.’ “Benson is an old-line comedy of eal nerit, and it received an excellent in- terprtation at the hands of the leading people of the Columbia Stock Company.

Rosenthal, the pianist, is now in excel- lent health, having played in England and Italy last ino.th. At present he is rusti- cating in the Tyrol, preparing for his American season, which opens in Carnegie Music Hall in New York city on the even- ing of October 26. Cecile Loraine is the name of the young prima donna soprano who will appear this coming season in this country. She is said tf be of most prepossessing appearance and an artist of rare ability, possessing a beautiful voice. Although an American by birth, Miss Loraine has never been heard in her own country. All details have been arranged for the opening of the Ovide Music Virtuoso School of Violin at Steinway Hall in New York city during the first week in August. Mr. Musin is expected to arrive in this country the latter part of this month, having just firished with his examinations at the Royal Conservatory of Music at Liege, Belgium, where he is first professor. Mrs. Laura Zeh Johnson, the well-known contralto of this city, has been engaged at the Mountain Chautauqua at Mountain Lake, Md., from August 6 to. August 13. This shows that Mrs. Johnson's reputation as an accomplished singer is expanding. It can safely be predicted that she will fully reeet all the requirements of the engage- nent. News comes from New York of a new cperatic enterprise, which bids fair to fur- nish one of the sensations of the coming theatrical season. The Imperial Amuse- ment Compary, of which H. E. Blair of Cincinnati is proprietor, and Milton Aborn general manager, which controls the Royal Italian Grand Opera Company, has taken the masterpiece of Puccini, “La Boheme,” had {t translated into English, and will give a grand scenic production of the op- era, opening the season early in Septem- ber. “La Boheme,” which was seen for the first ttme in this country last season, when it was sung In Italian by the Royal Italian Company, is said to have the most wonderful story of any opera which has beer. written during “the century, and should afford an excellent opportunity for English artists and scenic effects. Mrs. Harriet Mills says that althou: at times feels rather “New York has no idea of abandoning Washington, but will simply go over to Gotham Mon- days and Tuesdays, as she has done for the past two seasons, Miss Lotta Mills has not yet signed for any tour.

The program committee of the Choral So- ciety met at Miss Leavitt's music rooms on Vermont avenue last Wednesday evening to continue the study of works under con- sideration for the coming concert season. Several meetings have already been held and the works under consideration for the second concert are Prof. H. W. Parker's “St. Christopher,” Verdi's requiem mags, Handel's “Israel in Egypt’? and Handel’s “Deborah.” Either of the first two named would, it is thought, prove very satisfac- tory to the musical public of Washington. Verdi's requiem {is a work of great beauty and rarely heard, being given chiefly by choral organizations. It is particularly rich, both in harmony and melody, and the only adverse criticism that has been heard about it is that for a requiem the music is of too cheerful a character, a fault which is hardly a grave one from a concert stand- point. ‘The Messiah,’ as usual, will be the first concert of the season, and for the third concert there is some talk of a Ger- man composers’ concert of a nature similar to the very successful American composers’ concert given last winter.

Recent Rulings by Assistant Secre- tary Davis of the Interior. Webster Davis, assistant secretary of the interior, has rendered a number of pen- sion decisions, in some affirming and tn scme reversing the action of the bureau. Among them were the following of espe- cial interest, as they affect a large number of similar cases and indicate to a certain extent the policy of the Interior Depart- ment. In the claim of Fay F. Root for attor- ney’s fee in the case of Roderick M. Jones, late of Company I, 105th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, the assistant secretary reverses the action of the pension department, al- lowing the attorney a fee, and in the de- cision it is decided that: As the several applications for pension ed by a person under the act of June 27, 1890, constitute the basis of his claim, an attorney 1s authorized by a power of atior- ney contained in one of said applications to prosecute the entire claim, so long as he is not superseded in the attorneyship.” The assistant secretary affirms the action of the bureau in the claim of James A. Young of Company 1, 202d Pennsylvania Infantry, in which case it is decided that: “Appeilant, in the adjudication of his ciaim for pension on account of hernia, concealed the fact he was injured subs: avent to discharge. This concealment con- stituted fraud on his part, which warrants withholding payment of pension allowed under the act of June 27, 1800." In the claim of Sarah O., widow of James Brown, late of Company 90th New York Infantry, the assistant secretary reverses the action of the bureau; this is a widow’s claim under the act of June 27, 1890. In this claim it is decided that : “The evidence shows that the widow means of support at the death of the sol- dier consisted to her right of dower in the state of New York, in sixty acres of grass land, the rental value of which was about #1 per acre per annum. The land is valued at from $20 to $30 per acre by various wit- nesses. Her age at the death cf the soldier was sixty-four years. Soidier, who died in- testate, left as surviving heirs, the widow and seven children,” and the assistant sec- retary holds, “that the evidence fairly shows that the claimant was at the date of filing her first declaration under act of June 27, 1890, without other means of sup- port than her daily labor, and the claim’ should therefore be allowed." 2 ~~. enne, N.

A monster lobster was captured at Bay- | Points Set Forth in a Recent Address by Prof Kach. Most Formidable Hmemy and Most Serious Obstacle: to-Settlement and Development im the Tropics, The-State Department: has received from Consul General Mager at Frankfort a copy of an address recently delivered at Bertin by Prof. Robert Koch, the eminent bac- teriologist, embodying the results of his study of malarial diseases in tropical jat- itudes, which is regarded as having. spe- cial application to the United States armies in the West Indies and the Philippines. The consul general furnishes the follow- ing synopsis of Dr. Koch’s theories and conclusions: “Malaria ts the most formidable enemy which we have to encounter, the most Serious obstacle to the settlement and de- velopment of our cofonial possessions 11 the tropics. We shall never eujoy the pos- session of our colonies until we have van- quished this disease. The first step toward successful resistance is a thozougn, accn- rate knowledge of its origin anT the meth- ods of its dissemination. “Malaria is distributed all over the. globe. In its milder forms it is found in this coun- try in the form of swamp fever. It appears ina suil more severe type in Mediterranean countries, but worst of all in the tropics. its most violent and malignant form is the black-water fever (vomito). The exciting cause or germ of malaria_in all its forms is unquestionably a parasite in the human kiood, which was first discovered and deim- onstrated by Italian scientists, and the functions of which are now definitely known. It appears as one of the easily rec- ognized rings in the red corpuscles of the blood, wh.ch enlarges, splits into fragments, and within a téw hours produces more than twenty young parasites, which are distrib- uted among the corpuscles and thus dis- seminate and extend the infectign througi- out the blood. Prof. Koch's Demonstration. “Professor Koch has succeeded in proving that malaria, in its different stages of de- velopment, which ure characterized by an intermittently rising and subsiding fever, corresponds exactly with the development of the parasites; so.that by examination of the blood the progress and stage of the disease can be definitely acertained. He has further succeeded in demonstrating the exact moment for the effective administra- tion of quinine, which does not kill the mi- crobe, but definitely checks and limits its power of reproduction. This discovery was higiily important, for as a result of it the physician can, with reasonable certainty, provide that the disease shall be cured and not run to a fatal result. Of course, the convalescence may be long and uncertain, for relapses which ieave the patient weaker and weaker are liable to occur so long as there remain parasites in the blood. Aguinst them no sanitarium, no elevated location, offers any certain remedy; but it is, on the other hand, a consolation to know that recovery after a case of malaria may be rapid, and that th edisease affects the constitution less seriously than other fevers of equal tenyperature and duration. Not Contagious. “Malaria is not contagious. The means of its distribution have.been sought for in the air and water, but! Koch believes that blood-sucking insects are largely respons!- ble for its dissemtmatien. Wherever mos- quitoes ¢ aria will prevail. Where there are no mosquitoes: cases of malarial disease occur only when the infection has been previously reeeivad in a malarial lo- cality. The exact relation of mosquitoes to malaria still lacks, however, exact and con- clusive scientific demonstration, - Analogic: are found where blood-sucking insects con- vey disease germs, as, for instance, the tsetse fly, and especially the Texas fever among cattle, where, ag is well known, the disease germ is carried by a tick or insect. o race of man is immune fram ma- lurial disease. Negroes ving on the coasts of tropical countries are practically so, bu: negroes of the same race from mountain- ous districts coming to the ‘coast are sus- ceptible to the feyer. The former have, according to the opinion of Dr. Koch, ac- qaired {mmunity through slight malarial attacks during infancy or youth. But, as there is this naturally produced immunity, ft must be possible to produce an artificial one. “On this point Dr. Koch insists that in the case of malarial disease, the exciting cause of which is definitely known, the con- litions are much less difficult than in the 2 of other diseases, the germs of which are not known, as, for instance, hydro- phobia and cattle plague (rinderpest), in respect to which a certain degree of im- munity has nevertheless been attained. “The first essential step in combatting the disease is for the patient to leave im- mediately the malaria-infected district, and be protected against mosquito bites by pro- phylactic doses of quinine. Professor Koch believes that, through his studies of malar- jal disease {n the localities where its most intense and virulent forms prevail the way has been opened to new lines of study and new limits set to the dangers of the dis- ease itself. He closed his address with these words: “To overcome this malady is equivalent to the peaceful conquest of the most beautiful portions of the glebe.’” FOR THE BOYS IN BLUE. Headquarters Established Where Visiting Soldiers Are Made Welcome. It is just one week since an Institution for visiting soldiers wae started et 1204 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, and the re- sults, it is claimed, are all that could be de- sired, proving beyond question that it ac- complishes what it set out to do. The record book shows an average of fifty visitors a day. They have represented pretty much all of the states having regi- ments stationed at Forts Washington and Sheridan and at Camp Alger. The favor with which the public respond- ed to the call for assistance in furnishing headquarters was beyond all expectation. The three commodious and airy rooms have been completely and comfortably furnish- ed through the generosity of patriotic citi- zens. All that is now needed is either do- nations or regular subscriptions to pay the rent of the rooms and for the janitor’s small salary. Among those who promptly responded to the call for aid in furnishing were: W. B. Moses’ Sons, furniture; Wash. B. Williams, the same; Charles Edminster, articles for the toilet room; Mrs. J. ‘W. Babcock, tow- els and other toilet articles; Messrs. Det- weiler & Co., printing. Chairs, pillows, pic- tures and lighter artcles of furniture have been supplied by Mrs. Babcock, Mrs. W. W. Case, Dr. Ida Heiberger, Mrs. and Gen. Hawley (the last named advanced one month's rent), Mesdames Stancliff, Vila and Claberg, Mrs. Hill, Capt. Nichols, Mr. and Miss Jennie Meiggs. The reading table furnishings came from E. Morrisson, Mr. Barrett, Miss M. B. Os- born, Mrs. Emily Lee Sherwood, Dr. Hei- berger and others. Flowers have been con- tributed by Mr. Boulder, florist. Reading matter has been received from Gen. Haw- ley, Dr. J. W. Curtis Smythe and from the Ladies of the Loyal Legion, and subscrip- tions of money from various parties rang- ing from $20 to 25 cents. Emergency med- icines have been donated by Mr. Henry, druggist, and Dr. Ida Heiberger. Bandages and sleeves for sore arms (recently vac- cinated) came from Mrs. Sherwood and others, It Is the Intention to keep the headquar- ters open as long as there are soldiers in the vicinity. From three to four ladies will be in attendance every day at all hours and insure a cordial reception to the boys in blue who may call there for a rest from sightseeing.

Two Regiments to Be Sent Over From Tampa Every Day. Gen. Coppinger, commanding the 4th Army Corps at Tampa, has reported to the War Department that good progress is being made fn the movement of troeps fromthat place to Fernandina. The Michigan Volunteer Infantry has already gone, and other regiments will be moved at the rate of two a day until the move- ment is complete. A number of prominent citizens of Troy, N. Y., have sent a tele- gram to the Secretary of War. asking that the Regiment of New York at Tampa be sent to a more northerly and healthy point than Fernandina. AS THEY From Harper's Weekly. “Aha! a great idea! see what else they hit!” DO-IT IN HAVANA, Make lots of pesetas!” “Carambe! They all aimed at the American and never touched him. But just LAST DAY IN TAMPA Further Details of Departure of the District Regiment. “We'll Do Our Daty,” Said Lieut. Skinner—Amusing Incidents Aboard the Catania. “No,” said Lieutenant Skinner of Com- pany E, when asked if he had anything to say to the people of Washington before the District regiment left for Santiago, “except that we District of Columbia men wil! do our duty.” Scme of the boys of Captain Looker's company, the one left behind the day the Catania “slipped her moorings,” were standing on the pier at Port Tamp grouped around Lieutenant Skinner, their former teacher in the High School, shaking hands In the good-bye ceremony. “The stately officer changed in a mo- ment to our good old High School teacher,” wrote one of the boys present, “and we told him to come back with a curved sword, and I bet you he will.” That day, the 2a of July, was a me- mcrable one in the history of the District regiment. Reveille sounded long before dawn that Saturday morning. Roll call and mess were over by 4 o'clock, and at 4:15 came the call for throwing tents. At 7 o'clock every company was lined up ready to start. That was quick work. No more lounging on the hot sands of Tampa; no more blank cartridges to shoot, but the front ahead and Santiago! It was a long line of freight cars that screamed over the hot nine-mile track to Port Tampa. Rough boards were laid across the freights for seats, and they bumped like a stony roller coaster. The boys sang and cheered. The yell “Ho! for the front!” frightened the very sharks in the harbor. “It was a jim-crackety ride,” said a Dis- trict “non-com;”’ “better’n Pullman cars.” The Catania, long and black, loomed up among the other transports at the pie it Was 11:30 o'clock. The regiment was lined up awaiting orders. The steamer’s hold was already full stocked with provisions and water. The soldiers had to tuck up their particular possessions anywhere. Capt Looker's Engineer Corps watched wistfully off Picnic Isiand. They were given permi sion to sce the Catania off after mess. Every man pitched in and helped the cook, then dashed into line, crossed over to the pler and stormed in on the District bi as might the famous Six Hundred. Rescued From Sharks. One of the fellows dropped his hat and Kennette O'Connor, the adopted son of Charles Warren Stoddard, who happened to be the only District boy on the sick list, made the boys lower him, dived into the water and got the hat from the sharks amidst cheers from his company. “When he got on deck again he was well,” said one of the boy: Captain Graham of Company E is one of the popular captains. The men crowded around him and Lieutenant Skinner and wished them “good things” from curved swords to leaves and stars. The Catania in all her commercial care was never subjected to so rigid an inspe: tion, Private Oscar Armes of Captain Locker’s company writes: “The Catania was more comfortable than the other transports. There was plenty of room for the boys. There were two floors five companies on each floor, and space for one on upper deck. Running across the ship on the two lower decks were long rows of standing beams, sixteen inches apart, with hooks for the hammocks, which will also serve the troops in Cuba. “Shafter's transports were more crowded and they had bunks. The District of Co- lumbia officers, of course, were fixed up in the cabin. The Catania has steel side: The soldiers “inspected” the other trans- ports In the harbor and found the Catania one of the best. On board one fitted out with batteries of regular artillery they discovered the kitchen. Made Happy by the The cook was rolling dough. “Good morning,” said the boys, pleasant- ly. “Making biscuit ‘No,’ answered the cook; “pie.” The boys’ mouths watered. They looked around and “let their eyes come in contact with a big pan of rolls.” Private Armes had been company cook the day before; his “rolls” hadn't looked r Cook. like that. But the cook was very busy. The boys stood there silently. “Your rolls and bread look nice,” they finally said. ‘The cook glanced up. “Help yourselves, help yourselves. Here's some butter, to and I don’t want my meat; you can have that, too.” ‘The boys were radiant. That was a mem- orable day—July 2. The evening was also memorable. The coffee of the District bo} made it so. Adventure in the Dark. “It was dark when we left the Catania,” writes Private Armes. “George and I were dodging the posts and creeping underneath the hammocks, trying to find the hatch, when all at once the electric lights went out, leaving the ship in total darkness. We pushed on, bumping into things, when all at once both my feet landed in something hot. There was a yell, louder than mine: ‘What in h— is the matter with you, there? Who are you? What are you do- ing?” “Then the lights struck me standing there in two big buckets of hot coffee! I thought it best to move to another quarter at double quick time. I looked back a little later and was much relieved to see the boys drinking the coffee in spite of the dust from my shoes.” The Catania did not start that night. Sunday morning at 10 o'clock her whistle blew; her gang planks cleared. “There were no cheers, neither was the band playing,” wrote Private Armes: “all was silent. I watched the transport steam- ing out of sight until she slowly faded around the point far down Tampa bay.” ——— POST AT HONOLULU, ARMY Correspondence Between Alger and Merriam Concerning the Barracks. Secretary of War Alger, through Adjt. Gen. Corbin, is in correspondence with Gen. Merriam in regard to barracks, offi- cers’ quarters and army hospitals at Hono- luiu.
