One of the Army Medical officers Who
Needs Regulating.
The Criterion.

Inc Criterion.
One thing in the medical department has
been left to the last in this article, and
that is the hospital steward of the regular
army He is an institution of a day long
past. He Yields the power in a hospital of a
first sergeant in company. The difference
between him and the first sergeant is that
the latter is constantly under the eye of his
captain while the steward Is but twice a
day under the inspection of his superior. He
is the law unto himself and unto all under
him-even his patients
An officer of the writer's acquaintance
was taken to a military hospital in New
York suffering from the fever. The surgeon
in charge was an efficient, able man-handi-
capped by his steward. The surgeons orders
We're disboyed constantly and with con-
Summate impudence. The officer suffering
from fever was left alone in his ward six
hours at a time. On the night when his fever
was worst ranging over 100 degrees, he was
compelled to wait upon himself and treat
himself. Weak, near unto death, he crawled
the next morning half way down the stairs
to the main floor and asked to see the sur
geon An honest but inexperienced attend
home, a short distance away, and had left
word that If he were wanted at the hospital
he should be sent for. The patient asked
that he be sent for Immediately, and weakly
made his way upstairs. Before he reached
his room, however, he heard the steward
loudly denouncing the man for telling a pa
Within five minutes an assistant steward
told the sufferer that the doctor was in
New York. Feeble as his condition was the
patient was able to insist upon seeing the
surgeon with sufficient vehemence to carry
his point. He asked to be sent to a New
York hospital. AS matter of fact, how
ever, he was too weak. The surgeon pro-
cured for him a private nurse, and he man
aged to get we'll. The incident quoted is but
one of a thousand.
Sooner or later the country will demand
thorough overhauling of the medical de-
partment of the army. Let it be before our
next war.

The "City Club which opened at the En-
pire yesterday afternoon, has been improved
considerably since last season. The scenic
effect. '"The Presidents Gardens" disclosed
after the rising of the four drops repre-
senting the battle of Manila, the defeat of
Cervera and the storming of San Juan hill,
is really a worthy and apparently costly
piece of stage setting, much better than
would be looked for with burlesque show.
The burlesque itself has several very pref
ty songs and well-executed ensemble darces
set to original music. The entire vaudeville
programme is good The strongest feature
is the miscellaneous sketch by Joe Nestor,
Irish comedian with lot of funny work of
his own, to which the young women, who
are excellent dancers, by the way act as
fOils. George Graham has a hating utter
ance and a confidential tone in his memo

much in touch with him. Harry Thompson,

Ing II as II IL understood all about the sup
posed victory just won.
Shenandoah has the same old thrilling
charm and is played better than when orig
inaliy produced. 1t is a great, broad play
of its class. with more details and more
threads OF plot than can be told in brief
review. The war story is q substantial back
ground that is always before the audience,
whether the dramatic incidents down near
the footlights be comic or pathetic. A great
Juggling at heartstrings every now and then
is relieved by sudden incidents that precipi-
tate noisy laughter. Through ii all is woven
the lives of families both North and South.
Ordinary army scenes are made to take on
heroic import by the sincere work of the
many we'll selected actors in the cast. The
new spirit of friendliness between the blue
and the gray is pathetically illustrated when
a guard of rebels under flag of truce bring
a dying Union soldier into the Union lines.
Noble sentiments are expressed by the rebel
surgeon, who records the gallant youths
last heart beat, and the audience applauds
ii with much honest feeling.
Both Maurice Barrymore and Mary
Hampton are doing the best work in years
in this play, while others are distinctly
strong. Louis hendricks is a favorite Gen.

never better played than by George Wright.

DETROIT, Sept. 12.-The handsome new

gathering of the wealth and intelligence of

both of whom were obliged to address the
audience. De Koven and Smiths 1.-THE

management of John p Slocum, had the
honor of giving the initial performance. The
200 people who filled the theater manifest

beautiful new house. When General Alger
and Mrs. Alger and son entered their
box there was storm of applause. After
the first act the general, responding to re-
peated calls, thanked his friends for their
hearty welcome, congratulated Manager
whitney and the people on the splendid
playhouse, and said that, while he would
rather have avoided speech-making he mad
