Those who are interested In the possi-
bilities of physical training should see
the acrobatic dancing act OF Bessie Mum
roe at Keths this week. In suppleness,
muscular control and seemingly impossi-
bic movements and attitudes, her act ri
walls that OF the most expert 'acrobats
and contortionists: and the ease and
grace with which everything Is done add
much TO the effectiveness OF her act.
which is really one OF the notable features
OF an exceptionally interesting and pleas

THEATRICAL NOTES.

Music lovers are afforded rare treat
at Keith's this week. for the program
abounds I'm features calculated TO delight
equally the trained and the popular ear.
Musical Dale is beyond dispute the great
est. instrumentallst in vaudeville. The
daintiness and delicacy OF the effects he
secures on hand and STAFF bells cannot be
conceived except by those who have
heard for himself. while his execution is
a mechanical marvel. Marie Duma is
the most accomplished and artistic So
prano yet heard at keiths, with a musi-
cal and wonderfully trained voice and an
artistic method seldom displayed on the
vaudeville stage. The Woman In White
offers an act that pleases equally the ear
and the eye, the novel method of Illus
trating her songs being most picturesque
and containing just enough OF the element
OF mystery to add TO the fascination OF
her act. The musical comedy act of
Cushman Holcomb and Curtis is another
one of the big hits OF the entertainment
Miss Cushmans baby song, the tenor
solo of Mr.. Curtis and the effectively
rendered trios all winning encores at ev-
cry performance.

Further, to make physical eXamina-
tions Of candidates for positions on
the force. From the above duties it
can be seen that the surgeon to prop
erly fill the position satisfactorily
should live within the boundaries of his
assigned districts. The present Board
of Surgeons is as follows: Drs. J. Ram
sey hewitt, Clifton Mayfeld W. r..
Burch, Frank p Vale, all residing in
the northwest The appointments of
two Of these surgeons expire soon, and
the southwest and eastern sections of
the city call upon Commissioner Ross
through the columns of this paper to
appoint a physician so located as to
be convenient and able to perform the
special duties satisfactorily to the peo-
pie of the eastern section. The peo-
pie of Anacostia have reason for COM
plant because of the performance
Of the special duty of the police sur
geon located in the northwest and as
signed to the fifth precinct, when an
accident occurred in Anacostia on one
Of the cars of the Capital Railway
Company killing and injuring many,
and while many physicians of the east
ern section were present it was
noticeable fact that the police surgeon
for that precinct did not respond, and
the people asked why?
The Commissioners of the District
of Columbia, and especially Commits
sioner Ross, who has direct supervision
Of the Police Department. will shortly
have an opportunity to correct this
state of affairs and do away with this
objectionable evil We would suggest
to the Commissioners the advisablity
of appointing from among the many
capable physicians a surgeon residing
in the eastern section of the city
Such surgeon would be so conven-
iently located as to render medical
aid promptly and perform all the
duties Of the Office which we claim at
present are not being done BY acting
upon the suggestion Of the Suburban
Citizen we venture to say that it win
meet with approval Of the very best
business men in East Washington,
such as Thomas W. Smith, Tracy L.
Jeffords, the president and vice-presi-
dent respectively of the East Washing
ton Citizens Association, and many
others who have given this matter
their time and thought. We believe
that Commissioner Ross will respond
to the public demand and fill at least
one of the coming vacancies by ap-
pointing an East Washington physi-
clan.

The BOARD OF POLICE AND
FIRE SURGEONS.

The Suburban Citizen" has of late
been appealed to by large number of
its patrons, among them being fremen
and policemen, to exert its influence
in behalf Of the betterment of the Po.
lice and Fire Departments under the
District Government. The cause of
the complaint is chiefly in the eastern
and southern sections of the city in
which at present no surgeon is located
to render prompt aid and convenient
medical service to the policemen and
fremen residing in these sections. The
time seems propitious for the consd-
Grafton Of this subject as the terms of
two surgeons expire within a few
weeks, and 1t is but fair to assume
that Commissioner Ross will consider
carefully the statement of facts which
we shall present in this editorial, bear
ing as it does upon this subject OF
great importance to the police and fire.
men who by reason of their regula-
tions and the fear of complications
hesitate to make complaint to the Dis
trict Commissioners. In order to in
telligently place before the interested
public the present defects, we think It
wise to review the history of the Board
of Police and Fire Surgeons, and in do
ing so we desire to credit as the source
of our information the Manual of the
Metropolitan Police and the District
of Columbia Police q book compiled by
the present Major of Police, Richard
Sylvester. The Medical Bureau up to
July /, 1893, comprised the following:

schmidt, MD, G. b. Henderson, NJ. b.
Strickler, these surgeons residing one
in the southeast, one in the northeast,
one In Georgetown, and one in north
west. This board as will be seen was
very conveniently located for the ordi.
nary and the extraordinary duties as.
signed them, and on page 1872, Chapter
10, OF the book compiled by Major
Sylvester we find that this board quite
frequently have special or extraordi-
nary duties TO perform, viz: They
are supposed to be present, or within
ready call, at public gatherings where
the services Of the police are apt to
be required, at all great fires and acct
