REmINlscENcE.

In 1857 a young actor emigrated
firm New York to London and
sprang from ooscurity by inperso
mating the part Of "BlacK Donald"
in Mrs. Southworth's play Of The
Hidden Ha nd which was being
produced at the theatre known as
the 'Grecian Temple. This young
man was that unhappy lunatic,
John Wilkes Booth, whose name
later on was rendered infamous by
his assassinatio Of President Lin
coln. From his father. J-nius
Brutus Booth he inherited touch
Of insanity rendered his life erratic.
AT lae time Of his appearance as
Black Donald at the "Grecian TEN
pie" Mrs. Southworth was resid
ing in London, and she is authori-
~ tor saying that Booth was her
ideal as, Black Douald" and that
the part as characterized by Booth
had never been approached in ex-
cellelce. "Black Donald which in
theatrical parlance is known as the
villain" part, has always been
looked upon as one of the best
parts Of that character ever written,
and is always eagerly sought after
by actors playing that line OF
parts. In the dramatization of the
story Mr.. Moore has made the
part a very prominent one, it
ranking next 10 Capitola.
This production will be seen at
the Opera house next week.

effect upon the development of the red

The annual report of the surgeon
general of the army for the year 1905,
covered by statistics just available,
will make such a showing as is most
gratifying to army medical officers.
There has been nothing like it in
nearly ten years and the gratifying
condition is attributable to the i'm
provement in sanitary conditions.
This is especially so in tho treatment
OF epidemics. particularly typhoid,
with which the army was seriously
threatened some years ago All kinds
of devices have been adopted, after
thorough trial, in the hope that there
would be a decided improvement in
the conditions prevailing at army
posts The same precautions for the
health of the troops have been taken
i'm the field, on marches and on army
transports. The army medical corps
is some thirty officers short of its au-
thorized commissioned personnel. but

health of the army in a way which
has not been equalled since the record
