Stone of Brightw s very similar to that of 1895-3, when the fever here in the Di ever known, per this, there was a very wet by a long. dry and very conditions most favorable th rate from typhoid trict was the highest spring, followed warm summer, for the disease. It ts true, I am glad to say, that we have a many less wells from which the public drink, but otherwise the conditions which have and are now prevailing this season are those of the season of 1895-96. In that year the deaths from typhoid fever num- bered 228. During the following fiscal year it was 147, and during the fiscal year end- ing June 30, 1898, the number was 130. From those figures it will be observed that the number of deaths have decreased in a very gratifying degree, due to the fact that the District authorities have filled up many of the city wells, and also to the fact that the people have taken greater precautions. Danger Much Greater Now. “But,” continued Dr. Stone, “the people of the District should now take still greater precautions, because the danger, in my opinion, is much greater now than during the past two years. In speaking of these precautions, I refer more particularly to the care of school children. Typhoid fever as a rule makes its appe here in June. and the number of cases gradually ine until they are more numerous in September and October. the time when our pe cautious and vigilant the autumnal rains, and with them will come into the water the people of the Dis- trict use the surface refuse of the country above us.

Yet there is no reason why parents should not furnish their children with bottles of boiled water to carry to nl with them. 1 imagine, of course, ermission would have to be first ob- ‘d from the District Commissioners or from the public school authorities to per- mit the children to carry boiled water to Therefore, now is le should be more We will soon have “Tt purify school with them and drink it. But in view of the danger which confronts the chil- dren I believe that the authorities will not object.

Executive Com Many man Sylvester, Treasurer Edson and Mr. Walter Hutchins of the executive com- mittee having under control the direction of the work of relieving District volunts.rs and their families met late yesterday after- noon at the board of trade rooms. Pro- jon was made to mect the immediate necessities in a number of meritorious ses reported by Mrs. F. W. Dickins, chairman of the subcommitice on investi: nm, the work of which was highly com- nented, and $200 appropriated toward the support of the soldiers’ temporary home, conducted by the Ladies of the Loyal Legion at No. 413 9th street northwest. Treasurer Edson reported that the sub- scriptions received by him would amount to about $4,100, and that a handsome sur- plus would’ remain after the expenses of receiving the District regiment and defray- ing the cost of the medals of honor had been met. There will be another meeting next Monday afternoon at the board of trade rooms. mitte Meritorious Cases. Provides for Cha Opera House for the current season oc- curred simultaneously. The piece has one conspicuous advantage over most musical farces in that a legitimate foundation is provided for the absurdities which occur. The situations are logically developed and are inherently comic. The costuming and stage pictures are calculated to delight the eye, and when allowances are made for the difficulties which surround a first perform- ance, there is still reason to compliment the smoothness and vivacity with which the performance proceeded. The company is an admirabie one. Perhaps the best known of the players in Washington is Miss Marie Dressler. She im d her personality on the occasion s bountifully than is her custom, but she was largeiy in evidence notwithstanding. Her bounding, break-neck methods are tingea here and there with to tie legitimate emotional dra- But burlesque they fit well into the spirit of which expands itself genially over the stage when she appears, and her magnetism is irresistible as it is unquench- able. The chief funmaker is Eddie Foy. He is a genius in his way. Edwin Booth w: scarcely more a master of tragic art than Edwin Foy is master of the Humpty-dump- ty drama. He acknowldges few obligations to his author; if he cannot be funny by his Voeal utterances, he can excite merrjment by throwing a leg cr an arm slightly out of plumb and strutting innocently across the stage. And in this piece he has a part with which his personality entirely harmonizes. There is not the sense of disproportion which methods of this character often cre- ate. Another prominent person is Mr. Au- brey Boucicault. Ordinarily the musical farce young person who is in love is pain- fully ordinary. Mr. Boucicault throws en- thusiasm and individuality into his work. He is a graceful young man, and has mo- ments of entire unconsciousness of self Which are delightful. A few years of hard work would make him an actor of too sub- stantial quality to seem properly placed in such frankly frivolous and gauzy surround- ings. The idea of turning a company of strolling players into the home of an old couple, whose sole ambition is tranquillity, in order to run a hotel and practice certain deceptions upon expected gvests, affords numerous opportunities for comic charac- terization. Mr. Henry Norman, as the strong man, is excellent. Mr. Frank Smith- son was good as the irascible old gentle- man, and Miss Elonar Falk made the most of her ratier limited musical opportunities. Miss Edna Aug played ihe part of a Ger- man servant entiously and humor- of action is one of the ut features of the production, and to help in what may be termed the “whoop- ing-up” process several skillful acrobats and jugglers are very happily introduced. ‘The program's allusion to a “large and efficient chorus” is far from being the cus- tomary managerial fiction. The lyrical numbers are not distinguished by sustaine spontaneity and the music is largely mat- ter-of-f2 There are several gems, how- ever, both of mirth and sentiment, and the finales were worked up with a dash and brillianey which evoked enthusiastic de- mand for repetition.

Ada Lew who won a reputation as a clever portrayer of odd characters several years ago, when she won praise for her “tough girl," ably ssisted in entertaining. Georgia Caine, who will be remembered as the “Girl from Paris,” had another neh part, which she played in the same bright way as she Gid_ befor Maude Raymond, John Parr and La Petite Adelaide, who gave an ex- hibition of toe dancing, were also prominent in the specialties. The choruses were sung with sp! nd precision and the diafogue went with a dash COLUMBIA THEATER.—“Diplomacy,” Sardou's great plays, was never pre- to better advantage in Washing- ton than last night. The audience at the Columbia witnessed a polished and artistic ama by quate a competent tage accesso- performance of this dr company and with ad ries.

It has been a favorite , and there is it has yet outworn its usefulness as an attraction at play houses. The situa- tiens are intensely dramatic, possessing the everal year: no indication that power to hold the attention of the audience throughout without flagging. Mr. Edgar L. Davenport, who took the part of Henry Beauclere, last night impressed the audi- e with the fact that he has encompassed art of naturalness, if such an appar- paradoxical statement may be per- mitted. Mr. William G. Beach and Frank Mordaunt, as Captain Beauclere and Baron Stein, made favorable impressions by their excellent and well-studied work. Miss Mary SH%w, in the difficult role of the Countess Zcka, attracted to herself a large share of the appreciation of the audie: for the efforts of the entire company. Miss Alberta Gallatin, Mrs. Wilson, Miss Violet Rand, Mr. Donald G. Bowles and Mr. Franic Arisen carried their parts with credit. In fact, it would be difficult to choose from this well-selected company particular per- sons for special praise, as the work of each individual was so happily calculated to make up the harmonious whole of exeel- lence which marked the performance. THE ASADEMY OF favorit Natural Gas,” clothes and abounding in new busines was presentec at the Academy of Musi. t night by an excellent company, at the head of which stands Edaie Girard, origina! Whirlem O'Rourke of the ‘Mr. MUSIC.—The old dressed in new and Girard combination. The hous well filled, and although nearly every on. had probably s atural Gas” and its effects before, it was received with every show of popular approval, the old things in the preduciion being taken along with the new in a manner that argues well for the busin ef the house during the engage- ment of the farce here. Eddie Girard in his old character was, of course, the central figure, and his low comedy work, coupied with the clean-cut business of a higher class of Ecward Garvie as Christopher Bluff, mad= eclive combination. Their team’ work ry good, and the songs and stories which they interpolated from time to time were very warmly received. The remainder of the company was ac- ceptable in the main. Miss Amy Ames was particularly good as Kitty Malone and add- ed to her already bright reputation as a delineator of Irish characteristics. Some enjoyable spetialties were introduced, that added not a little to the attractiveness of the production. Miss Mollie Thompson showed herself to be a very pretty and graceful dancer, while Frank O'Brien in a tramp turn and John Connelly in a negro specialty were very acceptable. Gus Hen- nessy. as Jobson Doddle, wes also good. ‘The farce was very prettily staged and cos- tumed, and should make a record in the matter of fall business, KERNAN’S LYCEUM THEATER.—Ish- am's Octoroons, augmented as to numbers and bettered as to quality, presented ex- cellent shows at the two performances at Kernan’s Lyceum Theater yesterday to au- diences that promise record business during the remainder of the week. Isham’s Oc-* toroons have always been favorably known. but the company this year goes ahead of all reputations it has established in the past. “‘A Tenderloin Coon,” the burlesque that serves to carry one through the entire evening and introduces all the specialties, is a success in respect to both fun and mu- that they received. The turns contributea by Winn and Edwards, George Williams, Walter Smart, Stella Wiley, Fred Douglas, Dora Fatterson, the Reese Brothers, the Brittons, R. Connors, Marion Henry and Florence Elsworth were particularly good. A handsome march, that brings out the full strength of the company and serves to show off seme particularly natty soldicr costumes, ends the performance in a whirl of preity color effects and good singing. THE BIJOU.—The two performances at the Bijou yesterday attracted large audi- ences to that playhouse to witness a very clever vaudeville show. The bill was unu- sually pleasing, some of the more conspicu- ous turns being those by Frank Bush, Liz- tymond, Charles Grapewin and An- na Chance, Kilroy and Britton, Nina Col- ie Lillian Perry and the Brilliant Quar- et. “ON AND OFF."—Charles Frohman will inaugurate his new Madison Square Thea- ser Comedy Company and produce for the first time in America a new play called “On and Off” at the Lafayette Square Phe- ater, Washington, October 3.

In his annual report, which has been completed, Major Sylvester, the chief of police, has recommended that the District be divided into police subdivisions, to be known as district No. 1 and district No. 2, each t> be in charge of an inspector. The recommendation has been approved by the Commissioners, and will go into elfect Oc- tober 1 This new arrangement will re- lieve the head of the department 9f many matters of routine and detail, anc will, it is believed, wonderfully expedite public business. The Two Subdivions. The recommerdations are set ‘orth as follows by Major Sylvester: I have the honor to recommend that the metropolitan police district of the District of Columbia be divided into two pclice sub- divisions, to be known as District No. 1 and District No. 2. District No. 1 shall contain tite police precincts inciuGed in the territcry west of 7th street West, and shall be uader the general supervision of Lieutenant In- Spector Isaac Pearson. 3. District No 2 shall contain tite police precincis included in that territory east of ith street west, and shali be wader the general supervision of Lieutenant In- spector F, E. Cro 4. The lieutenant inspectors will be held accountable for a careful adherence on the part of the officers, privates and em- pleyes of the department to the rules and ations and for the maintenance of good order and the prevention and detec- tion of crime. Each lieutenant inspecter will confer with the lieuterants in charge of the sev- eral precincts included within his district on all matters pertaining to the public wel- fare therein, receive all morning repor replies tor complaints, written communica. tions, charges—and, in fact, everything that row comes to police headquarters through the lieutenants. The Heutcrant inspectors will pay gen- eral attention to the conduct and appear- ance of the cflicers, men and employe: the condition and. sanitary arrangements of the various station houses and stable connected therewith, and, in fact, to all in their matters pertaining to the precine respective districts, 3 6.

This innovation in no wise intended to stop communication between the several licutenants. and the major and ‘in- terdent, but they will call and be called to conference at headquarters at such time as occasion may demand.

He was in his twenty-sixth year, and had lived ail his life in Anacostia, For the past two or three years he had been in delicate health, his death finally resulting trom a compication of diseases. He leaves a wife and one young child. Miss Nettie Drummond, the young daugh- ter of Avexander Drummond, residing at 381 Poik street, is confined to bed as the result of a severe wound accidentally in- flicted upon her by her young brotker. The two were engaged in some childish play, while the boy was trying to sharpen a lead pencil with a penknife. Wnile thus play- ing the young girl received a wound about three-quarters of an inch deep in the left side, Just above the abdominal region. A blood vessel was cut, and two physicians had to be summoned to stop the hemor- rhage. The young patient is doing nicely at present. This morning about 7 o'clock electric car No. 1 of the ital Railway Company ran into the one-horse express wagon of James T. Branson, 539 6th street southeast, on Monroe street and did considerable dam- age to it. It was a disputed question wheth- er the colored driver of the vehicle or the motorman of the car was to blame, and no action was taken by the police. Master Carl Rhodes of Anacostia was se- verely bruised in a collision with another bicyclist while riding along Pennsylvania avenue southeast yesterday afternoon. Night Stationkeeper J. W.
