One day recently French doctor,
who had company to dinner, sat quiet
ly chatting in a corner Of the drawing
room, when he was told that a patient
had come to see him who was strongly
recommended by some fellow-practl'
TONERS and whose card was brought in
by the page. The doctor submitted
with bad grace and stepped into his
surgery. The visitor was In an adj
vanced stage of consumption. The
bronchial tubes were in a deplorable
condition and the vocal chords nearly
worn out. Our physician was in the
habit Of ascertaining the condition Of
the patient by asking him to count
and generally stopped him at thirty oil

purpose, This time, also, DR.. P
asked his patient TO count. Time

DISTRICT IN CONGRESS,
THE ARLINGTON RAILWAY.


There was very brief hearing before the
Senate District committee today in the investi-
cation Of the Washington and Arlington rail-
way question. Nothing in particular was done
and the same ground that was gone over yes
terday was very briefly repeated.
DAISY CHAIN HOSPITAL.
The Senate yesterday agreed to the amend
ment to the sundry civil bill providing S31, 900
for the purchase of site and building Daisy
Chain Hospital for the treatment of persons
suffering from contagious and infectious dis
eases. The amendment prescribes that the title
to the property shall vest in the United States
Mr.. Mcmillan, who offered the amendment
said We have q number of hospitals in the Dis
trict of Columbia, but we have not place
where in case of persons being attacked by a
contagious disease, like typhoid fever or diph-
liberia, they can be cared for in proper man
ner. 1t is only a short time since a case Of that
kind occurred. A young man was taken down
with diphtheria. He was taken around to the
different hospitals and was not admitted for the
to isolate case of that kind. If such case
had bden taken into one of the hospitals here
there is no doubt that it might have infected
the other patients.
We have had the need for such a building
here for long time. but there has been great
difficulty in getting the proper kind of property
upon which to place it. Property owners OBJ
ject to having a hospital Of this kind placed
upon land adjoining their property. A piece of
ground has been obtained. OF can be obtained
subject, of course, to the approval of the Com
missioners of the District of Columbia. for
this purpose.

A Report as to the shot That Hit the
Schooner.

A Report as to the shot That Hit the
Schooner.
Gen. Flaglcr Of the ordnance department this
morning received the Official report Of the acct
dent at the Sandy Hook proving grounds last
week, which resulted in a schooner at sea being
hit with a shot fired from gun at the proving
ground.
The schooner was five miles out at sea
and one mile out OF the line Of fire. The coast
being clear of all vessels one shot had been
fired. 1t ricochetted lightly The sand touch
ing once or twice. and pissed out across the
water, finally sinking into the ocean. The
course of the other sho. is described by Capt
Heath as follows: The second shot, the one
that hit the vessel. struck the sand
where the shore made a sudden rise and buried
itself to an unusual depth in the sand. coming
out at a much greater angle with the line 81
fire than experience at the proving ground
indicates TO be possible under similar firings'
The course pursued by the shot on this angle
brought the shot into the schooner's stern.
The officers at the proving grounds did not
even know the schooner Was hit until her crew
rowed ashore.
No blame can be attached to any one for the
accident. as il was clearly unavoidable AID I'M
foreseen. The United states will. Of course.

The accident has renewed the complaints in
certain quarters against the continuance of the

LOOKING FOR HIS NIECE.
A Washington Girl Who Wanted to Go or
the Stage.

A Washington Girl Who Wanted to Go on
the Stage.
The New York papers today state that A. NJ.
Sprague, a doorkeeper of the Executive Man
sion in Washington. has written Manager
French Of the Garden Theater for information
Of his niece, Phyllis Bent, of this city.
According to Mr.. Sprague's letter Miss Bent
left her home several weeks ago deter
mined to go upon the stage. She said she was
going to New York and would get a position
with the "Sinbad" company. Mr.. Sprague
said he had heard his niece was very sick IN
New York city and that he was very anxious to
find out where she was in order that he might
see that she was given good care.
Manager French, being unable to find out
anything about the young woman, telegraphed
Mr.. Sprague that nothing was known about
her. It was afterward discovered that a young
woman calling herself Miss Bent had applied
for position in the company. Several days
after she made the application she returned to
the theater with her eyes discolored and one
arm apparently hurt and said she had met with
an accident at the Coleman House. Nothing
has been seen of her since.
Mr.. Sprague was not at the Executive Man
sion this morning, and nothing is known Of the
matter there.
