Jacob Weinstein Asks Permiss o n

Jacob Moses Weinstein filed a petition
with the clerk of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia yesterday. ask
ing permission to change his name from
Weinstein to Stein. The petitioner is a
Russian by birth and a tailor by trade,
and states that he experiences much en-
barrassment and loss from the fact that
many of his customers fail to remember
his name, Weinstein, and have come to
know him as Stein, under which name
he is now conducting his business.
To avoid the appearance of conducting
his business under an alias, he therefore
petitions the court to allow him to change
his name.

Nathaniel Wilson, president Of the

the annual reports of the several depart

the fiscal year ended June 80 last.
In submitting the report Mr. Wilson
writes in part as follows
"The special appropriation of $1,000
made for repairs and furniture for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1888, has been
already expended in the manner and for
the purposes stated in the treasurer's re-
port.
"A further special appropriation of
5000 was asked for the fiscal year end
ing June go, 1889. but in the act making
appropriations for that year the amount
appropriated is s., 900 for repairs and fur
niture.
Each year, for several years past, the
money received from Congress and that
received from pay patients has not been
sufficient TO fully meet the cost of MAIN
tanning the hospital and school for
nurses, and each year there has been a
deficiency, Notwithstanding the efforts of

The management of the Lafayette
Square Opera House have secured for
its opening attraction, ON September 10,
the new Herald Square Theater produc-
tion, Hotel Topsy Turvy,'' which is said
to have been the theatrical sensation OF
Paris for two years. The piece is TO be
a musical comedy, enhanced by all of
the accessories given to Herald Square
productions. And as II is expected to re-
main at that house the greater part OF
this season, the directors claim to have
been lavish IN their expenditures.
The company selected comprises the
most prominent players in their line of
entertainment, and collectively makes
one of the strongest organizations that
has ever been sent out in such a play.
Among the Interpreters of the principal
characters are such prominent artists as
Eddie Foy. Aubrey Boucicault, Henry
Norman, Frank Done, Frank Smithson,
Ed Connolly, E j. Curry, Marie Dress
Ter, Eleanor Faulk, Edna Aug, Virginia
Ross Emma Brennan, Marjorie Relyea,
Maud Miller, Lenora Gnito, and others.
There will also be a chorus of fifty voices
and an augmented orchestra, conducted
by Herman Perlet. The scenic effects
viii be in keeping with the Importance
of the production, and the costumes are
promised to be revelation even in these
extravagant days of stage dressing.

Funds Not Sufficient.


Funds Not Sufficient.
''The funds available are not sufficient
for the efficient administration of the hos
pital, considering the number of patients
that are cared for, the nurses connected
with the hospital and the training school.
Il am, therefore. directed TO repeat the
request made last year that an appro-
priation of s25.000 be asked for, for the
maintenance of the hospital and TO meet
the current expenses for the fiscal year
ending June 30 l9o0''
Mr.. Wilson's report is accompanied by
a lengthy paper by the superintendent OF
the hospital, Ella Underhill, which reads
in part as follows;
During the year COG patients were re-
ceived and $50 discharged. The daily av-
erage was 81. Total number of opera
tions performed was "a and of this num-
ber 81 were capital operations The
amount of money collected from pay pa
tients was IS, ,7o950.
''An,iseptic furniture has been placed
in the operating rooms and the delivery
wards The priya,e rooms have been re-
furnished and new screens placed in the
wards and dispensary treatment room
The pathological laboratory has been
completed.

and contemplating the many changes that
have been effected at so little additional
expense, il seems unfortunate that we
should have to cease our efforts toward
advancement owing TO lack of support
The tendency TO compare this hospita
with other institutions where many OF
the patients are chronic invalids or where
little nursing or surgical treatment is re-
quired. has given rise 10 some criticisms
in regard to our expenditures.
Anyone, however, familiar with hos
pitaI work will appreciate the fact that
patients undergoing capital operations re-
quire more careful nursing than the ma
Jority of cases in general hospitals. We
have already attempted TO impress upon
the minds of the various officials to whom
we look for encouragement and support

done in the hospital and the need of
sufficient funds N ana hla itS m do ct;I

A combination of white artists and Gre
ole performers. while very distasteful
farther South, has already been tolerated
North and has often been seen in Wash
ington. There may be prejudice against
such combination but most people who
have seen such an entertainment will ad-
nit that between the two races quite a
novel show is assured. Sheridan and
Faust's Metropolitan Burlesquers which
open at Kernan's next Monday, is such an
organization and in its Offering we are
promised a performance that may throw
all other of its sort in the shade. This is
a new venture and its managers have a
reputation, gained through other sue
cesses. which they may be depended upon
to maintain.
