THE NATIONAL BOARD OF HEALTH
AnxiousIy Awaiting News ns 10 the Pros
pect OF yellow Fever.

A reporter of TIE REPUBLICAN,, not feel
ing very well himself concluded to drop into the
National Board Of Health rooms to find out how
the rest Of the world wns getting along. He found
the secretary Of the board, DIR. Turner, in charge
aud he reported no alarming symptoms rs yet In
the body polite. Referring to a large map Of
the United States which hung against the
wall and was covered with little colorcd
arrows, like weather map, he said that the map
only indicated the usual seasonal diseases. There
were blue, red, and yellow arrows which indicated
summer complaints, small pox, &c. The summer
complaint arrows covered the largest area OF Coun
try, and showed that II was very general In the
South as well as in the North. The map is very
interesting one, rs II shows at glance what
humanity is suffering from all over the
country. A yellow arrow in Maine
and the same in Texas binds those dis.
tant parts together by community Of suffer
ing, while the smallpox arrow in section gives
rise TO feeling of gratitude that 1t is there In
stead of this particular section. How about
THE APPEARANCE OF YELLOW FEVER
this year. DoctorTf asked the reporter after satls
flying himsclffrom the map that there was nothing
dangerous about Washington.
1--WE have no indications of II yet, and don't ex.
pcct It's appearance in this country. But II is i'm.
possible TO tell. The yellow fever Is
very bad In Havana, await the
kilograms each day with good deal of anxiety.
| i thought last year we were all right as we had
passed the Sth ofJuy but on the 9th the dispatch
came announcing its appearance. / have not
been away from business for three years, and want
to get away for short time in August, and that
naturally causes me TO watch for the fateful telc-
gram with some anxiety. ButI don't think that
ii will come, and / assure you that this wish
Is not purely personal or selfish
one either. II only my vacation
was involved, II would not make so much differ
encc. But there is the loss to life and property
which is so disastrous. We nro on guard, and
while we don't pretend to be able to keep yellow
fever out of the country yet there is advantage
in adopting all possible precautions"
The reporter thought so too, and felt great deal
better after this visit TO the Nations pulse feeling
establishment He lett the Doctor smoking his
cigar and peacefully laying plans for his vacation
through the clouds of smoke.

To the Editor of Tux REPUBLICAN:
The agitation of the subject of grand
musical festival, to be held in Washington as soon
as the President Is again able TO be out, again
brings to our attention long felt and serious want
In this city, namely, the need Of proper building
wherein to hold such large concouse Of people
as will naturally desire TO witness such demon.
stration II is well known that the Museum
building, which was pressed into ser.
vice at the last inauguration cannot
again be had for any such purpose, The only
thing that remains to be done is for the business
people-those who will be directly interested in
having large bodies of people come hereto build
permanent hall sufficiently large to meet all the
requirements for a place of meeting OF national
conventions, concerts, Inauguration balls, &c, Let
the business men come 10 the front with their sub
scriptions and show people outside Of this city
that Washington Is not behindhand In energy OF
appreciation of its business necessity. Xxx.
