SPECTATOR AND 1HK BOARD OF HEAIrp

1SPHcTATOR" AND IHR BOARD OF HEALTH
-WAsHINGToN, Dec. o, 1SI2-Editor of ne
Star: Sir'-ln your report or the last m setting
Of the board OF health occurs the following:
CDR. Verdi called attention to q statement
published in the Boston Cong r,gGtioaist from the
Washington correspondent, over the signature
'Spectator" in relation % the sma l-pcx in this
city, which he said was very much exaggerated
in fact. almost false in every particular He
stated that 20 far from there being hundreds of
new casee daily, there is seldom a new case re-
ported, and the disease is almost extinct here. 4"
One would suppose that 1 had written that
there we're "hundreds OF new cases daily,
whereas what did say in hasty paragraph at
the close OF my letter was that there were 'from
so to IS new cases . week." Possibly my esti-
mate was extravagant, but The STAR had Just
reported larger number OF cases than in any
week during the year, and Is cases on the two
last days ofthe week-and then, suddenly, the
rule which has been observed for nearly year
OF Publishing the facts was broken. This |
characterized as stupid, and I suspect that Jus {
there trod on somebody's corns. why not
give us the statistics, instf ad Of denunciation?
Five new cases were reported to the board OF
health, from within three or four blocks of NV
residence on Saturday last, yet suppose that
we sh all be told at the next meeting OF the
board that, smallpox is nearly extinct" That
there Is less OF 1t here than in other cities Of our
size have no doubt, but nothing could be more
silly than the attempt to conceal the exact
facts. SPECTArOR

since,) was dedicated yesterday. The exercises
commenced at IL O'Clock a. M, the church
being throDged. Among those present were
president Grant, Senator Trumbull, Judge
Drake and Hon. Horace Maynard. The services
were commenced with prayer by Rev. Mr.

II. Parks, of Phifadelphis, read sDpropriate
selections OF Scriptures, and another PRAYER
was offered by Rev. q. A. Hall. Rev. DR.
Chester then preached the dedicstory sermon
in the course OF which he said taat about eight
years ago the first steIs were taken toward the
organization of the church. On the Sabbath
morning OF February %. 1894, about fifteen
persons met to confer with him on the subject
OF organizing the church iR a small school
house on LIST street, and the result of the con-
sultation was that he entered on the work.
Very soon the building proved to be too small
and the frame building at the corner OF Sd and
ID streets southeast, since q N srket, was secured
and on the 1lth OF April, six weeks after the
Capitol Hill Presbyterian Church. The little
congregation then included eleven persons from
other cities, two from Scotland, and others
from three churches of the city. Even this
larger building was not deemed satisfactory.
and the congregation decided to erect an edltics
He then explained the delays in the erection of
the building, and expressed the thanks of the
congregation for the aid given by various indl-
Tlduals to enable the church to overcome all its
difficulties, naming Mr.. A. X. Shepherd who
presented the marble altar. He said the mem
pershlp was now about 800, with a congregation
of so. On the conclusion of his sermon. Mr.
Chester said that a debt of $1,000 remained
upon the church, and within a few minutes
nearly 5000 was contributed, Mr.. William
McLain leading off with $500. The morning
services closed with singing, prayer, and bene2
AT So O'Clock in the afternoon a meeting of
the Presbyterian pastors and laymen OF the
District was held in the church auditorium at
which addresses were delivered by Rev Drs
Noble, Bittinger, and Merrick, and Mr.. Arm
