VERY INTERESTING TESTIMONY The Joint Congressional Committee Occupied Yesterday Afternoon In J'lsumJuliig the Officers of the JKinorgeucy anil Coluuibiu Hospitals uud of the Home for Incurables. At the charity hearing yesterday after noon, before the Congressional joint com mittee, Mr. Boardmnn, of the board of trustees of the Emergeucy Hospital, gave information as to the management of that institution. In reply to a question by one of the Senators, Mr. Boaidman said that the hospital -receives all classes of patients. lie snid that there was no simi larinstituttonin the land having the limited support Jt had doing the work it (iocs. Everything is free, no charge being made for either medicine or treatment, Senator McMillan asked how the Emer gency Hospital is organized and Mr. Board man answered that it was incorporated. "Do you own the land?" "Yes, sir; and also the buildings." He said the buildings cost $lo,oou. Con gress annually uppropiiates $10,000, which Is not a sufficient sum. A report is made quarterly to the health ofllcer and sanitary officer, who are members ex-officio of the board of trsttiees. "Do all Uie suigeonsgive their timefiee?" asked Senat or McMillan , and Mr. Boai dinau replied they did, with one exception. The capacity or the hospital -was given as twenty patients. Dr. Burnett, of the hospital, said that 10,000 persons were treated annually In the dispensary department. He said that everything was dumped down upon them, even Congressmen who grew too tired. This occasioned something or a laugh. Mrs. Hopkins, of the Home of Incur ables, next made a report concerning that institution. The Home is entirely paid for. There are forty-four i.aticnts, of which less than five supiiort them selves. The accommodation or the Home is limited to fifty patients The home has received but $2,000 from the Gov ernment, payable $500 quarterly. The expenses monthly amounted to about $700, or something over $9,000 an nually. Two-thirds of the patients are never able to leave their rooms, and they are cared for until they die. Mrs. Hop kins thooght thiitr the opposition to Con gress filing money "to the home was be cause 1t was regarded as a gilt-edge in stitution with a' foV fashionables sup oorttneit. ' Senator Pitncf Vailed attention to the fact that the question was whether or not the unfortunates should be cared for generally by the Government or allowed to bo cared tor by-'different institutions at Government cxpeiJsc. Representative Northway explained that the Government had no say at all as to the expenditure of The money which It might appropriate to the different institutions. Atone time during-the hearing Mrs. Board man, who was'WithTMrs. Hopkins, called attention to tho.pors6nnel of the patients and remarked thatone of the unfortunates was a great-grandson of President Jeffer son. Senator Martiu.lngulrcd the source of this Information, and upon the lady's acknowledgment that Jt was purely hear say, he remarked that such could not be the case- It was absolutely impossible. Many of Jefferson's relatives lived in his county in Virginia and he was positive Jefferson had no living grandson. Gen. Sternberg, representing the Coliim bla Hospital, said that the i nstttution be longed to the Government. The directors were named by the District Commissioners and two of the Commissioners werecx-of-ficlo members or the board. The cost of subsistence of each patient, Gen. Sternberg said, was about 44 cents per day, while the total expense per patient, including every possible expense, amounted to $1.16. The Columbia Hospital did not limit its patients to residents of the District. Dur ing one year tiiere were 277 infants born and mothers taken care of. Representative North way. by a few close ly applied questions, develoied the fact that the treasurer of the institution was a salaried officer, getting $600 per year, and also thatthc present treasurer is also employed In the Geological Survey, wh-re he draws an additional salary, and that the present incumbent's predecessor was a high Army surgeon, who also drew two 6alarie3. The treasurer, it was explained, was re quired to give $10,000 bond and to ac count to the United States Treasury ior the $20,000 appropriated annually by Congress. Miss Huderhill explained the work of the Nurses' Training School and its con nection with the Children's Hospital. In four years thirty nurses had been grad uated. All to Tier Husband.

"The First Gentleman of Europe," the new play which Mr. Daniel Fro hman's New York Lyceum Theater Stock Company will present at the Columbia Theater on next Monday night, is really the first original play by Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, "Little Lord Fauntleroy" having been dramatized by her from her own novel ot the namo. In "The First Gentleman ot Europe,'' Mr. James K. Hackett, as the Prince of Wales, who, when in search of adventure, was known to masquerade as Col. Ffolllot, of the Dragoons, has a pecu liarly well suited part. Mary Mannering as the pursued "Daphne," endears herself to men and women alike, while Marie D. Shotwell, as Lady Sark, gives to her per formance the subtlety, cunning, and bril liancy of the character after whom she is modeled 1. e., the Countess of Jersey. Ed ward J. Morgan, as the man ot letters, yet struggling poet, lends to the character the dignity and force so necessary to the part, while the prime favorite, Charles Walcott, endows the apoplectic father ot the starv ing writer with every requisite to make It true to life. Airs. Whlffen and Mr. Felix Morris shine brilliantly In their respective roles, while the balance of thecompauy are happily cast, lending additional beauty to the magnificent stage settings with which Daniel Frohmnu has endowed the pro duction. "The Mayflower'' will be given only at the matinee on Thursday, "The Gypsy Baron'' is doing his part . toward opening successfully the-season of opera at the Larayette. The house has been filled nightly since Monday. Yester day the seats went ou sale for next week's performance, aud the buyers lined up briskly all day long. The bill will be the bright comic opera, "The Queen's Lace Handkerchief," and will give Lizzie Mac nichol tspecial opportunity to display her abilities as the King. This in one of her pet roles. Next week, will also introduce Joseph Slieehan, a fine tenor, who was last year heard here with the Bustonians, then with "Rob Roy," and lastly with "The Mandarin " Mary Llnck, Ollska Worden, William Wolfr, .Melville. Stewart, Charles Campbell and Reginald Roberts will also be In the cast Few men in writing novels anticipate the fate that befell "Pudd'nhead Wilson." Mark Twalu'n .story was dramatized as soon as it was published, aud in its new form was recognized as one of the most beautiful, moving and truthful plays or American lire which we have had. It de serves a place at the side or and close to "Shore Acres." It lias already visited us twice, but next week it comes h&rk ncaiu to the National, with the same excellent east. Theodore Hamilton will .again play the Missouri lawyer, and Arnold Day will be seen in his delightful impersonation of Chambers, the boy. A play of dramatic strength woven about incidents of contemporary interest comes to tho Grand Opera House next. It Is the recent success at the Star Theater, New York, "Cuba's Vow." As the title implies the play deals with people in terested In the present war waglug in the brave little island to the south. In the cast are Adelaide Cushman, Etelkn. Wardell, Georgie Brier, II. C. Brinker, John W. Webber, Hamilton Harris, W. L. Buchatinbn, V. M. Do Silkc, J. W. Har rold and others. In all there are fifty five people in this spectacular melo drama. "A Trip to Chinatown," which has been played iu three continents, will le presented at the Academy next week. Of course, the "Bowery" will be sung, but there ure many new numbers, In cluding "She Always Dressed In BJack." "Lucky Jim," "Her First Waltz," 'The Bells," "The Swell of the Day," 'Jnsque La," "Move up, Johnson," and a coster duet entitled, "A la Chevalier," to be rendered by Miss Laura B'ggar and Mr. Burt Haverly. Miss B'ggar and Mr. Hav erly appear as the widow and Welland Strong, the roles they assumed in the company which, during the World's Fair, eclipsed the record made by all other Iloyt companies, either before or since, on a season's receipts. Other members of the company arc Ernest Elton. Richard Karl. Gub Thomas, John P- Brawn, Ben jamin Leffler, Jeannette Ldford, Maud Baglcy, Isnbelle Chamberlain, and Rose Sutherland. Manager Kernan next wek will present Jermon's Black Crook Burlesque Company, direct from the Lyceum Theater, Philadel phia, and the thousand nnd one patrons will unquestionably be well repaid Tor. a visit to his theater. "The Palace in the Moon'' is the opening number; then comes a good olio of specialties and the extrava ganza, "The Yellow Kid of Hogan's Allcy at Vassar College,'' terminates the long and interesting program. The secencry and electrical effects are as dazzling as one would care to behold, and the entire performance is an excellent one. Manager WhitcseU, of the Bijou, with his usual enterprise, has announced a bill for his playhouse next week that will no doubt prove a rich find in the short-turn line. It is the Chicago Vaudeville Combination, composed of well-known people of the Western circuit, and the bill offered is re plete with novelties thatare new and origi nal. The reputations of the respective artists and the record of the Bijou man agement for supplying good shows in the past Is enough to recommend the merit of the great bill offered for next week. Among the features are the Marsh trio, father, mother and daughter. In a leflned society sketch: Johnson and Roberts, black and white face purveyors of up-to-date wic aim songs: Martin and Knowi., re tailers of Broadway scenes anil, incidents; Prof. Coogan, the daring and famous wire walker; the great Roberts, the phenomenal double-voiced vocalist: Viva Woods, the male impersonator, in a vaiiety of refined and character delineations: Master Paul Brady, the marvelous boy soprano; 01m SHchter, said to be the peer of musical in strumentalists, who performs on eighteen instruments. The bill will conclude with a lively farce entitled "Man and Woman." "Merchant of Venice" nt Columbia. At the Columbia last night, "Merchant of Venice" was the bill, and that talented young gentleman, Mr. Whiteside, appealed in the role of the crafty and revengeful Shylock, a role made famous by many of his predecessors, but none the less inter esting for the impersonation of this prom ising young thespian. While his concep tion ot that trying role is somewhat similar to others that have gone before him, his treatment of the most prominnetscences, is different, but not unsatisfactory. The Shylock of Whiteside is not the decriplt, totteriug, seamed-countenanced Jew of Booth and Kccne, but is shown in rather a younger guise As a decl'aimer, Mr. White side is all that can be desired, his enuncia tion is full, distinct, and resonant, with a faithful attention to details, and emphasis that is pleasing, but in thehcavierpassages, notably in the court scene, he fails to reach the heights of greedy exultation, and depths of crushed defeat, as, has been realized with such force and feeling by other Skahcspeariau delineators. A more impassioned audi nspired deli very would have been In better place, but, with tills exception, his work deserves none but the highest praise. In the less impassioned lines, when revealing the greed and venge ful thirst of the accursed and despised of his" race, he was particularly finished, and elicited much applause.

A fashionable and select audience gath ered at the Columbia yesterday afternoon to hear Mr. David Bispham and Mr. Charles Gregorowitsch, who had leen announced asthe artists to appear at the Fifth Metro politan concert, but owing to the refusal of these gentlemen to appear unless paid in advance for their services, the manager, Mr. Ed. F. Guzman, wascoinpelled to make tile announcement fiom the stage that the affair could not take place and that the money paid by those holding seats would be refunded at the box office. Owing to the small sum realized from the sale of seats for the performance and the refusal of the artists to appear unless paid the full amount, of their contract, although Mr. Guzman and the management of the Columbia both offered a handsome sum by way ot a compromise these artists declined to accept less than their price, and the audience, afcer waiting some time, was compelledto depart without hearing the concert. Contrary totheexpectationsof Mr. Guzman the artists railed to prove thy dm w ing attractions they were expected to do, but rather than disappoint his patn,ns he offered, nt a great loss, to pay them a large sum, but this they retused most- "e cidcdly, and there was nothing left to do but dismiss the house.
