bright sallies of wit, and several highly pa

applause was so frequent and SO hearty as
to threaten to hamper the smooth progress
of the action at times. The interest of the
first act was heightened by the excellent

AN EXCELLENT HOSPITAL.
a Very Small Death Rate Among
Camp Mount Cases.

The records of the state hospital show
some interesting facts concerning the sick
of the three regiments, the Fort Wayne
battery and the signal corps that have
been treated there. In all 240 cases had
been treated up to last night. This included
two that were sent in yesterday. OF this
large number there have been but two
fatalities. This is considerably less than
per cent and is said to be much lower than
the average rate in say a city of the size of
Indianapolis. Most of the men recovered
very rapidly, or were at least able TO go to
their homes. The day Colonel Smith regi-
ment arrived last week there were over one
hundred patients. Yesterday but twenty
eight remained in the hospital. The physi-
clans fear that some of the boys would have
been better off if they had remained in the
hospital, as, in their convalescent state, the
feasting at home may prove too much for
weakened stomachs and may bring on re-
lapses The physicians yesterday said that
with two exceptions the patients were in
fair way TO recover. Colonel Smith was in
formed yesterday that the condition of
Boothroyd of Lafayette. a member of the
band corps of the e-hundred-and-ffty-
eighth Regiment, was critical.

original ideas and some new twists put into

closing burlesque brings out one of the
best chorEses, both in appearance and voice
that has been seen and heard on the vaude-

MANILA, p. l., Sept. 19.-The Republica
Filipino asserts that an attempt was made
TO poison rAuginaldo on Friday night. A
steward. it is alleged. saw a Spanish pris-
oner who had been allowed his freedom,
make movement which appeared like tam
pering with a bowl of soup intended for
Aguinaldo. whereupon the steward tasted a
spoonful of the soup and fell dead. Eleven
Franciscan friars are alleged to have been
engaged in the conspiracy. The populace,
it is further said. attempted to lynch all the
Spanish prisoners, but Aguinaldo inter-
vened. At Sal lrday's session of the Ma
tional Assembly. it appears, Aguinaldo was
absent but his representative related the
story of the outrage TO the members, who
unanimously adopted the chairman's pro-
posal that they all go to Aguinaldo's house
express sympathy with him and congratu-
late him upon his escape. During the even
ing special Thanksgiving service was held
in the church at Malolos. Soup intended
for Aguinaldc is now subjected, it is stated
to a chemical analysis before being pre-
scented to the insurgent leader, and the
Spanish prisoners are kept closely con-
fined

WATER AT FAIR GROUNDS.
Not Had, Though Not the Best I'm the
City.

For some time past Colonel Barnett, of
the ne-hundred-and-ffty-n Regiment,
has been in doubt as to the purity of the
water furnished through the wells in that
particular part of the fair grounds allotted
to his regiment. At conversation held re-
Gently with Governor Mount it was decided
to ask the State Board of Health to make
an analysis of the water from the three
wells and report the findings to the Gov
ernor. The result of the analysis COM
pleted yesterday was as follows:
Parts in 10000
Well No. 1-Appearance, not clear; color,
faint yellow; odor faint; total solid matter.
40; Volatile matter on burning IL; chlorin
in chlorides, 1.3; nitrogen, as free ammonia.
none; as albuminoid ammonia, none; as
mtrites. o.01; as nitrates, OBS; bacteriologi-
cal: growth in carbol-bouillon, slight.
= Wei No. 2-Appearance, not clear; color.
faint yellow; odor. none; total solid matter.
~; volatile matter on burning, ID; chlorin
In chlorides, 10; nitrogen, as free ammonia,
none; as albuminoid ammonia, none; as
nitrites. COOS; as nitrates, 0.3; bacteriologi-
cal; growth in carbol-bouillon slight.
Well No. 3-Appearance, not clear; color.
faint yellow; odor, none; total solid matter
81 volatile matter on burning, 10; chlorin in
none; as albuminoid ammonia, none; as
nltrites. O.O09 as nitrates, 0.4; bacteriologi-
cal: growth in carbol-bouillon. slight.
Opinion-These waters are not to be
trusted. Not one of them is clear. and all
have color. One has a faint Objectionable
odor.. All of the chemical determinations
are in their favor down to nitrites and
nitrates. The presence of the first of these
indicates the presence of a fermentation
and that. in turn, means the presence of
something to ferment. The nitrates tell of
certain past pollution, or, in other words,
these waters have kept bad company in the
past. Growth in carbol-bouillon indicates
the presence of filth bacteria. These wells
should be viewed with suspicion. If not at
the present time dangerous, being shallow,
they will soon be polluted if the surface
above is lived upon for even a short time.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Instantaneous
with its production in London tonight,
Washington witnessed the initial perform
ance in this country of the Herald Square
Theater's new attraction, 'Hotel Topsy
Turvey," an adaptation from the French
which had so successful run in Paris. The
audience which witnessed to-night's per-
Torrance at the Lafayette Square was one
composed largely OF those best known in
social and official circles, Mrs. Mckinley,
Secretary Gage and Secretary Bliss, Cen
eral Miles, Assistant Secretary Vanderlip
and many members of the diplomatic corps
being among those in attendance. The play
evidently is framed for the purpose of pleas
ing the ear, the eye and the humorous side
of ones nature, and in this it is most sue
cessful The music, of which there is con-
siderable, is attractive and capable of re-
tention; the scenery and costumes are elab-
crate and the company, which includes many
merry makers, is we'll adapted to the parts
undertaken. The plot is not material ex-
cept as producing number of ludicrous
situations which carry the fun. AS spec
tacle and a mirth producer Hotel Topsy

company is Aubrey Boucicault. Eddie Foy
