worse. No new cases have been reported
for several days and there are now only
some eight convalescent cases. Every house
with its outbuiidngs has been looked after
by the Board of Health, and the town as
whole is receiving clearing such as it has
not witnessed since it's incorporation as a

A Boy Hero.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
Please correct misstatement, made in your
issue of April 8. The leg OF Colonel Uric
Dahlgren, lost in the service of his country, to
which service this typical boy hero, some
months later. gave up his life. was placed in its
present resting place by order of Captain
Henry A. Wise. the then chief of ordnance AT
the time this brave youth mot a captain
but a colonel at twenty-one. and the very
youngest colonel in the United States army
had his leg amputated, his father, Admiral
Da hlgren. was i'll command of the South At
antic blockadIng squadron off Charleston. In
view of the fact that this building at the navy
yard owed its inception to the thought of Adj
miral Dahlgren. and especially in view of the
solemn fact of the persistent efforts of the
rebel government to deprive the mutilated re-
mains of Colonel Dahlgren of that honorable
burial which was secured for them at the close
OF the war. Captain Wise doubtless did not
deem 1t. at the time. ''cOmcal conceit" to
give to that limb. the only portion of that hero
body not then hidden away, a conspicuous
place. Thank God. that upon the amputated
limbs and the revered remains of our dead
patriots the cornerstone of our sacred temple
of liberty firmly rests.

Three Generations Represented.

ELEVEN PERSONS LIVING IN ONE SMALL ROOM.
There was trouble in Pig alley last night, and
three policemen made eleven arrests. Grand
father, grandmother children, and grandchil-
dren were among those arrested. Upon their
arrival at the fourth precinct station in South
Washington they registered as Benjamin Mack,
Albert Dodson, Charles Scott. Joseph Mack,
Manuel Mack. Jemima Mergent. Venie Thomas,
Eliza Mergent. Martha Mergent. Minnie Mer-
gent. and Louisa Mergent. This morning the
prisoners were taken TO the Police Court and
charged with vagrancy. The officers stated
that the defendants all lived in one ROOM One
OF the officers said he had been in the room at
night when it was impossible to walk across the
floor without stepping on the inmates. From
the testimony the court thought that the four
young women, Martha Eliza, Minnie and Louisa
Mergent, were responsible for the condition of
affairs at the house. and gave them ninety days
each. The others were released ON their per-
sOnal recognizance.
