SMALLPON CASES.
Two More Have Been Found and Re-
ported.


There were two new cases of smallpox
today, and the patients were sent to the
hospital The patients in the hospital, with
the exception of Sarah Thomas, are doing
very we'll, but she is still very low. Today S
developments were of a remarkable nature.
One of the victims, a colored woman named
Green, was found at 1927 Madison street,
from where her brother-in-law and hus-
band were taken. Her brother-in-law, VIM.
Green, died in the hospital several days
ago, and her husband, Henry Green, is now
in the suspect camp"
Although he had fever and showed
other symptoms of the disease the doctors
are about satisfied that he is not afflicted
with the smallpox, and unless there are
other developments in his case he will be
discharged tomorrow or the next day.
His wife has a serious case of the disease.
and her case is exactly similar to that OF
row several weeks ago Mary had the
fever and aches, but as she was delivered
of a child the day before the eruption ap-
peared, it was not suspected that she had
the smallpox. But the health officer is
satisfied that she did have the disease and
since her death a number of other persons
who came in contact with her have been
sent to the hospital.
Mrs Green, who had felt unwell for sew
ersl days, was delivered of a dead child
yesterday, and today her entire body is
one mass of eruptionS.
The other case today was that of Frank
Turner, a fve-year-old colored boy. He
lives at 1910 Valley street, north of street
northwest between 18th and 18th streets.
This patient has the disease in mild form.
The case of Lewis Tabbs in Anacostia has
heen found to be chickenpoN, and not the
dreaded smallpox.

1t vas an enthusiastic meeting, and the

STAMPING feet rolled out through the closed

session. 1t is understood that representa-
tiyes from the lexington and Soldiers

ed the readiness of the mer of that line to

PROPERTY OWNERS.
Those Affected by Rock Creek Park
ASS csSment.

ASS csSment.
AS stated in yesterdays Star, n meeting
of land owneR;, whose property is likely TO
be included in the assessment of benefits
by the Rock Creek Park commission, which
meets tomorrow afternoon at the city
hall, was held yesterday afternoon AT the
office of MeSSrs. Carlisle and Johnson, Fen
dali building Some fifteen property own
erS were present at the meeting, together
with their counsel, and general discus
sion of tie proposed assessment was had.
The meeting waS it is understood, merely
a conference between the land owners and
their counsel and for that reason those
present decline to state just what WAS
said and done. 1t is understood, however.
that the legality of the proposed assess
ment was questioned and denied, and il is
said that it decided to attack the va
Edity of the law authorizing it. Whether
the constitutionality of the law viii he at
tackled previous to the making of the
sessment was not finally settled, it is said,
at yesterdays meeting, and it is under
stood that ii was determined to take no
action, at least until after the meeting Of
the commission tomorrow afternoon. 1t
may be that the land owners will attempt,
by an injunction, to restrain the commits
sion from proceeding to make tie assess
ment they may defer action until after
the assessment is made, ard then attack
its validity. Just which course viii be pur-
sued has not yet been definitely and finally
determined, 1T is understood, and another
meeting of land owners and their counsel
will probably be held before the particular
course to be pursued is determined upon.

helplessness. It is not until afterward that
one feels the general indignation of the
theoretical philanthropist that such things
can be at this time and in civilized land.
Ones only impulse at the time Is to SEND
basketful Of food and some clothes to
the cold and hungry ones at home.
An infant died last Saturday morning
few blocks from the Capitol from cold and
hunger. The house was a miserable one to
be called home and there had not been q
spark of fire in it for several days; and 1t
was pretty cold last week. Two cases were
relieved this morning where further delay
would have meant sheer starvation. One
was that of an aged woman who was un-
able to leave the house, or even her room,
and who could have held out but little
longer The other was that Of an Old man
who was in almost as bad plight. In
both cases relief was sent within an hour
of the time they were reported.
Among the cases brought to the Central
Union Mission this morning was an old
Irish woman who was sadly the worse Tor
wind and weather and who was evidently
at the fag end of a nisspent life. She was
brought in by Mrs. Mary Shea. She has
been for some time past dependent on
Mrs. Shea's charity, but the time had come
when the latter had to give it UP, as Sne
could stand the strain no longer
These are but sample cases picked out
haphazard from a list of hundreds. Is II
exaggeration to say that the need is press
ing and that there is more necessity Tor
liberal giving now than ever before? 1t is
hard to eXaggerate hunger and even harder
to depict cold in it's true meaning to suffer-
