Miss Marowe, as Mary Tudor, comes
Gown the Thames on a visit of state to
her royal brother, Henry VIII, and re-
celves from him news of his determine
ton to marry her for reasons of state to
Louis XII, King of France. Mary's heart
is set upon Charles Brandon, a Suffolk
squire and captain in King Heury's guard
How Mary's love for Brandon is made
source of sorrow both to him and to her
is swiftly disclosed by the progress of
the first and second acts, by the end of
which the lovers seem to have evolved
themselves in an altogether hopeless sit
uation. Mary's ingenuity and Brandon's
courage are employed to such good pur-
poses. however. that the fourth act
brings the happy ending so dear to the
heart of the American playgoer.
Mr.. Major says Miss Mariowe has real
lied his Mary Tudor for him in manner
which he did not suppose was possible

SECRETARY OF WAR TO DECIDE.
Right to Incur Expenses for hedicn'
school Mt His Discretion.

The Comptroller Of the Treasury has
been requested by the secretary OF war
to render a decision regarding the right
To inclr the expense of fitting up "A labor
atory for the use of the Army Medlcal
School in this city. In the communlca-
ton from the Secretary of War there
is contained a letter from Col. CaiNlh
De Witt, Assistant Surgeon General 1.
8 who asks authority to incur
expenses not exceeding $500 for the
fitting up Of certain rooms and a labora-
tory in the Army Medical Museum Build
ing in this city for the use of the Army
Medical School to be paid from the ap-
preparation for Army Medical Museum,
preservation of specimens. and the prep
aration and purchase of new specimens
s., COO"
The Surgeon General, before granting
the requested authority, referred the com
munication to the Comptroller of the
Treasury for his decision. In deciding the
question. l.. Z. Mitchell, the Assistant
Comptroller, said:
cy Of the War Department established by
the Secretary Of War for the purpose of
instructing newly appointed medical off,
GERS in the application of the principles
of medicine and surgery TO the needs of
the military service, and the fact that 1t
is held at the Army Medical Museum does
not make II part OF that institution or
authorize the use Of an appropriation
made for the benefit of the museum for
any expenses connected with its estah-
lishment or maintenance 1t is. therefore,
clear that the museum appropriation IS
not available for the expenses in ques-
tion.
Whether the general appropriation for
the Medical Department above named Is
available depends upon whether the es-
tablishment and maintenance of the
school is within the objects contemplated
by that appropriation. which is ques-
tion primarily for the determination of
the Secretary of War who is charged
with its administration, and l am unwill-
ing to question his discretion in the prem
ises, unless clearly advised.
IF, therefore. you shall hold that the
expenses in question are a part of the
necessary miscellaneous expenses Of the
Medical Department, and shall approve
the accounts therefor. the same may be
paid from the appropriation for Medical
and HOSpital Department 1902. -

Bijou-BurIesaue and Vaudeville.

The performance at the Bijou next week
promises to be one of the best of the
season. Not only will the large and
handsome chorus of the stock company
appear in a melange of all that is bright
est and best in the musical line. but the
comedians of the organization will have an
opportunity to show their abilities as gen.
uine funmakers OF more than ordinary
ability. The new prima donna of the
company, Louise Moore, has Instantly
sprung into great popularity with the
audiences that frequent the Bijou, and
her sweet personality and admirable So
prano voice will be features of future per
formances of Stage Director Grieves
forces.
The vaudeville bill that will supplement
the work of the stock burlesque company
Is without any exception one of the best
that has ever been seen on a Washington
stage. The appearance of Charles T. Aid

work with the Edna May company In

years. until it was a rare thing to find
n person who had not heard him.

that Tom was lead. but his appearance
in this city last Sunday evening proves
conclusively that Tom is very much alive
