TT was the wish OF Mr. Yerkes, said phySl-
clan who was one of his most intimate friends
that this hospital should begin in small way
He did not want a magnificent building, with
spacious wards erected all at once, which would
have only an ordinary equipment. Instead, he
preferred an institution of moderate size, but
containing the best appliances known to the
scientific world. He wanted the most skilled
physicians and surgeons of the time; and, &C
cordingly he made the endowment great that
the hospital might grow without Gripping 1T
self He wanted the institution to grow nat
,ralIy not as is the case with some great in
stitutions of this sort at the present time under
a forced draught. Some New-York hospitals
are putting up new annexes before they have
money to furnish them. or they are spending
Iegacies outright in order to meet annual deficits
Some Of them spend in year more than their
total receipts hoping and praying that new
gifts in the near future will carry them through.
Here are a few examples" and the physician
figured out the following table. made up from
the recent reports OF the various institutions
mentioned:

Should I send for my wife. who is in Germany, and
who wishes to be with me? Or should I help my

Gently
Discomfort has from the first been more rampant
among the men of the Metropolitan chorus than
among the women. one woman singer who was
lettering in the stage entrance the other day was
heard to say that she did not want to join the
union. They made me do it, she remarked to
the doorkeeper. with whom she was conversng.

but wasn't anxious to- 1 do not know what 70
think The union says must demand more
money, and then comes note to me from MT
Conried saying that he wishes to see me; and he
tells me that am well off and must keep my con-

Yet there are women among the chorus singers
who are enthusiastically for the union one ol

Some complain because they not allowed to
increase their incomes in the season by singing
elsewhere than at the opera when the opportunity
arises "A few weeks ago. said member of the
chorus there was entertainment at the Acad-
envy of Music and some of us sang and were PAID
The next day when we went TO rehearsal at the
opera house we were told, The singer who does
such a thing again, out he goes at that door. we
are forbidden to sing church Sunday;
though the speaker added. some of us do. but 1t

has many expenses. If one ISIS sick and cannot
sing must get certificate from the doctor
that it ISIS so; and that costs money. Mr. Conr1ed
saws to us. Why are you making trouble now?
You know need chorus now; 1t ISIS bad time
to make trouble But if he ISIS smart we are
smart. OF course We know he needs a cnorus no"'
and that ISIS why we present our demands now
and do not wait until next May"
There is another army Of chorus singers iii New
York an army many times larger than that sing
ing in grand opera at the Metropolitan, which has
never formulated the list of its troubles and never
will but it has plenty. If the individual stories Oh
this army could be told some Of them would make
sorrowful reading. 1t is composed of those who
sing in the choruses of light opera and musical
comedies those who are hanging on the edge of
this career and those who have fallen off.
Young man who has passed through the mill him
self and has settled contentedly back into the
prosaic occupation of keeping agency for stage
struck aspirants was talking to the reporter
about it.
There probably isn't person singing in the
chorus Of any musical comedy on the boards to-
day." he said who didn't start studying with
the notion of becoming star. They are not for
eigners mostly but stagestruck American girls
and men many of them from the smaller cities
They fully expected to reach high and promi-
nent place but they remain in the chorus And
that is not a good fate, particularly for a girl.
There are, of course, arrangements that are all
right and stage managers who are gentlemen, but
