 Much interest has been aroused here over "The Player Maid" in which Miss Florence Davis is starring and in which she is gaining favorable critical com ment wherever she has hitherto appear ed, Miss Davis Is among the new stars of the season who bids fair to gain honors in the stellar field, having youth, beauty and undoubted gifts of the first rank. The play is a story of life in England in the eighteenth century, in which the blending of humor and romance forms the prin- cpal feature. with touch of the emo tional to give the comedy more .Zest. The story deals with the adventures of a young actress of London, a spoiled favor ite of society, with keen wit and al high temper, who masquerades a young English heress under rather unusual cir cumstances.

So great has been the plays popularity, that though this is it's. third season, it has not been west of St. Paul or south of Washington.

BARRY'S A RARE CASE.
Theory of Immunity from Second
attack of Yello1c FeUer FaUored.

The question OF immunity from yellow fever has
been much considered by medical men since the
present plague in New-Orleans began. and the re-
Marine Hospital corps been stricken. has added
much to the immunity problem DR.. Barry served
In Galveston and was supposed to be immune from
the disease.
Health Oficer Doty. speaking on the subject yes
terday, said:
1t is believed in the medical world that person
who has had yellow fever is practically immune
thereafter for a period OF az least seven years.
The great difficulty in dealing with the question
OF immunity is TO ascertain whether the patient
actually had the disease at some other time.
Malarial fever and yellow fever are so much alike
that a person may have had the former disease and
imagined that he had yellow fever.
should say that in rare instances persons have
had yellow fever second time. Much depends
which bites. and also the condition of the person
at the time of the biting DR. Barry may have
had yellow fever before. If so, his second attack
is of the instances.
person may be bitten by mosquito that has
just stung a yellow fever patient and yet avoid
the disease. 1t takes mosquito twelve days after
having bitten patient 10 transmit the disease to
another perfectly healthful person.
When asked what means physicians adopt to
keep the disease from themselves while handling
patients Dr. Doty said
There is no way for the physician TO protect him
self Indeed. he has no time TO think of his con-
tracing the disease, and IL is good that he has
clan in his work and make him practically useless
in his business.
OF course in the hospital at Quarantine we have
the patients cut off by screens, which serves as
aboard the ships are as subject to infection as
any layman.

SUFFER MUCH FROM HEAT
Arrangements for Comfort of the
Enjoys Unsatisfactory.

Portsmouth. y. H, Aug 1.-THE heat was
almost uncomfortable when the japanese and
Russian plenipotentiaries set out for the navy
yard about o'clock this morning. The mer-
curry was dancing in the eos on the veranda of
the hotel. not breath OF air stirring, and
bay and shore seemed swooning in the tropical
atmosphere. The foreigners were fairly over
come They were mopping their brows as they
appeared The heat evidently affected their
tempers. The grim. serious business on hand
seemed temporarily forgotten in the general ex-
ecration OF the weather. III. Witte and Mr..
Takahira. who have suffered particularly from
this vaunted summer resort in its relentless
grip for three days, looked almost worn out
Conditions here. so far as the arrangements for
the comfort Of the plenipotentiaries go, are far
from satisfactory, and in any accurate refec-
ton OF events here il is impossible not to take
notice OF the complaints heard on all sides
The fact that foreigners do not live as Ameri-
cans do has not been taken into account by the
hotel management, and little effort has been
made TO provide for their personal comfort
For instance. the Russians. who are in the
habit OF drinking at odd times. cannot OBJ
tain their customary beverage except in regular
hours.
"A group OF foreigners was sitting on the We
when one Of the hotel employees appeared. and
without the slightest warning. turned out all

but the only reply was, Lights must be put out
at 1880"
1t was one minute past that hour. In

party, after some dif1culty. found the key and

luxury OF a cigarette with their coffee rather
than swelter in warm room.
One Of the most important members OF the
Russian mission has been forced TO occupy a
room without a bath and he is not hesitating TO
let his dissatisfaction be known.
