WHEN ACTORS FORGET.
Embarrassing Moments for Persons
on the Stage-Cue From Audience.

Embarrassing Moments for Persons
on the Stage-Cue From Audience.
Cleveland Plain Dealer
Its about the most embarrassing
things that can happen to one," recent
ly declared a well-knoWn actor when re-
ferring to monentary lapses of memory
on the stage.
Some players" he continued, "are pc
culiariy liable to forget their words. and
personally the longer I have been play
ing one character the more prone am ]
to run off the line You see, you. as it
were, get to know the words too well:
they are so familiar that they fail to
claim your attention and then, one
night, before you are aware of it, mem
DRY fails and you find yourself staring
at your audience speecnless.
"a tragedian told me Il rather peculiar
. story as to a breakdown that happehed
to himself. In the middle of one of his
speeches a lady dressed in bright red
came into the stalls and watching the
patch of brilliant color, the actor forgot
his words. The next evening a kind Of
terror seized upon him lest some one in
red should again take a seat and he
repeat his previous nights unfortunate
performance So strong had his feeling
become that, after three or four nights
that man actually bought his wife a
bright red dress and got her to sit in the
stalls, so that he might overcome his APP
prehension.
Another man ] know plays in musical
comedy. He never forgets the lines of
his spoken parts, but often makes a slip
in song. He comes to the end of a line
and can recall nothing but the beginning
of the next verse. and he has to stop
the orchestra and begin over again
Some singers, when in this predicament
just sing on Lum- ti-tum' to the tune till
L tile words come back. Some have told
me that having once been at sea with
their words they are sure, out Of nerv-
BUSINESS, to make another slip the same
evening They are SO anxious to avoid
another mistake that their minds can
think Of nothing but that they must re-
member their words In singing, the
tune of course, assists you to remember
the lines.

comes to the rescue of the player SO
stranded But occasionally that official
is not at his post, and then the man on
the stage has to wrestle with his brains

sickness either by it's variety, character
or quality, provided it is properly cooked
and eaten in moderation"
There are sixteen military hospitals in
the Philippines, with 3,417 beds, and regi-
mental hospitals with from ten to sixty
beds each-the hospital of the Thirteenth
infantry at the time Of writing had ITO
beds-so that the total of beds was con-
siderably more than 5000; in case of emer-
gency this number could be increased
by one-third. The insane, whose number
mas attracted some comment, are said
by Col. Greenleaf to be rendered sick
largely by nostalgia, or Inconsistencies
This is due to the isolation of the troops
In garrison, their lack of knowledge of
the language, their enforced confine-
ment to the towns they garrison, and
the constant nervous strain incident to
continued preparation against attack
The result is a mental condition called
insanity" for want of a better name
which is often cured completely by the
journey to the United States
When Col. Greenleaf wrote there were
1872 medical officers on the islands, of
whom 103 were on what, may be called
staff duty, serving at the military hos
pitfalls on transports, etc., leaving 229 to
supply more than 400 posts. The colonel
dlsapproves of the system of contract
surgeons as unjust to the department,
as well as to the surgeons. The latter
are engaged for one year only, and may
demand their release from duty as soon
as the year is up; they are not legally
officers, and cannot be reached by army
law. One such surgeon deserted and there
was no law by which he couldibe brought
back and compelled to perform his du-
ties; Of course his contract was termi-
mated, but that was all that could be
cone to him. Col Greenleaf thinks that
contract surgeons should be commission
ed as volunteers to serve until they are
no longer needed; then they would be
ap1enable to military discipline and have
tangible rank, (This suggestion has been.
adopted and provided for in the new
army bill.) The work done by the hos
p1tal corps receives the highest praise
from Col. Greenleaf In 120 posts the
men of the corps have had to perform
the duties of medical officers, and in all
engagements they have been conspicu-
Gus at the front, aiding the wounded
and performing their duties fearlessly.
III naming these medical officers and hes
pital corps men who have performed
especially good work Col. Greenleaf
writes this paragraph: when volun-
teerS were asked for from Hospital No.
to nurse a case of bubonic plague every
member of the hospital corps presented
his name" Col. Greenleaf notes further:
Miss Rose A. Tweed volunteered to
nurse and care for a vE'ulent case of
smallpox at Dagupan." He gives a long
list Of medical officers and men, some
of whom performed excellent administra-
tive work, but most of whom distinguish
ed themselves in the field; and names
four surgical officers who died. one of
them killed in action, Acting Assistant
surgeon t1ulSeberg, recently arrived.

Col. Greenleaf Explains What Other
Changes May Be Expected-AII
Depends on Improved
Sanitation.

The annual report of Col Charles r.
Greenleaf, assistant surgeon general, U.
S. A., chief surgeon of the division Of
the Philippines, which was published as
an appendix to the report of Gen. Mac
Arthur, military governor of the Philip
pine islands, has just appeared in a sep
arate form, and sets forth facts which
should interest laymen as well as medi-
cal men. Col Greenleaf reported for
duty rather more than year ago, and
his report begins where that of his pre-
decessor, Lieut. Col. Woodruff, ended,
and covers the seven months ending July
81, 1900
The medical situation changed very
considerably in that time. This was due
to the withdrawal of the army largely
from field service and it's settlement in
garriSons, which extend to the extreme
limits of the islands IN January, 1900.
there were 122 garrlsons, while in August,
when the report was actually written,
there were more than 400 posts. AS each
garrison required a separate and COM
plete medical outfit and the services OF a
surgeon, it is evident that the necessary
expansion of the medical department was
greatly disproportionate to the numerical
Increase of troops. This change de-
creased the size of the sick report, but,
on the other hand, prevented any concen-
tration of energies and made the medical
staff, which would have peen ample for
a modified army, wholly inadequate to
meet the demands of the scattered army.
Previous to- January, 1900, the ratio or
nom effectives to the whole strength
ranged from 9 per cent to about Is per
cent; since then it has decreased, the
maximum being 9.02 per cent in April
1900, and the minimum 7G9 per cent, in
February; the average was 1884. These
figures embraced the sickuest part of the
year, the spring months, and Col Green
leaf looked hopefully to a still further
decrease. He calls attention ito the fact
that the smallest percentage was in Feb
ruary, when was the period of greatest
military activity-Gen. SchWan's CAM
paign in Southern Luzon and Gen. Mac
Arthurs "hikings'' after ladrones in,

for improvement on the belief that that
improvement will follow. He says. how
