The Contagious Disease Hospital.

The Commissioners appear to have solved
at last, even if but partially, the problem
OF the location of contagious disease
hospital. 1t may not be the most salts
factory solution, but, like MercutiO's wound,
it will do at least until they can do better.
The erection of a building adjoining the
Washington Asylum Hospital, TO lie used
as an isolation ward for persons afflicted
with scarlet fever, diphtheria ard other
minor contagious diseases, will, TO linn
tied extent, meet ordinary demands, but
would be insufficient in case of an cpl
demic. But it will at least offer a place of
refuge for patients who cannot have the
proper care and isolation at their homes,
or for strangers in the city who may be
stricken with some contagious disease.
The arrangement contemplated by the
Commissioners can, at best, be regarded
as mere makeshift, for 1t is not to be con-
coded for a moment that city like Wash
ipgton will be satisfied with a contagious
disease hospital which is an appendix TO
the hospital at the alnishouse. Admitting
all the difficulties in the way OF finding

There must be compromise and conces-

before anything like harmony can ensue.
Stubbornness and unreasonable demands
never yet succeeded in bringing about sat
isfactory results, and in creating laws they
are always disturbing factors. The best
legislation is generally enacted by agree
ment. and in this instance it becomes a
necessity to lay aside party prejudices
and come to an understanding on some meas
ure of relief to the country.

1t is claimed that vote will be reached
on the Dingley bond bill in the Senate
next week and that it will be defeated. II
the information Is correct, 1t seems like a
useless waste of time TO longer discuss 4
measure that is practically dead, when there
are SO many other questions OF Importance
that demand immediate attention. Senator
Sherinan's hill to cancel greenbacks as fast
as redeemed would undoubtedly render
the issuance of bonds unnecessary, except
for extraordinary expenditures, like prepa-

PRINCESS BEATRICE'S CONDITION.
His widow, Princess Beatrice, became

had been stricken with fever while on the
march to COomassie, and DR.. Leid, one of
the court physicians, was in constant at

While no news was coming of the princes

to Princess Beatrice going in the royal
yacht Osborne TO meet Prince Henry at
Madeira, whittier he was bound when he
died. She also arranged that Hon. Minnie
Cochrane, one of her majesty's ladies in

prince has passed Princess Beatrice is bet

better than the torturing suspense.
The queen had not overlooked the posi-
biIity of what might be the fate OF Prince
Henry and Prince Christian Victor, and
she made preparations against their not
returning To England alive. In settling
what to do with their bodies, in case they
were killed or succumbed to the swamp
fever, the queen recalled the difficulty that
was met with in dealing with the remains
Of the French Prince Imperial, who was
killed by the Zuius in South Africa, and she
ordered that everything necessary for en-
banning should be taken out with the expe-

Among the minor fruitful sources of dis
order with which the city is afflicted are
the public merry-go-rounds. They attract
audiences, among whom the disposition to
engage in quarrels and breaches of the
peace is always at boiling heat, and in con-
sequence thereof, aggravated assaults and
even murders have encountered the police

carousals are situated.
Unfortunately, the police can take no cog

place for that the Commissioners exercise
no control over them. The courts have de-
cided that the proprietors need only tender
the license fee; if the license is refused

to proceed to business.

OF affairs. The Commissioners may refuse

it to himself to let the people know it. In

site for such an Institution TO which oppo-
sition will not be made by property own
ers, yet it is certain that patient inquiry
will at last direct the Commissioners to
a place that will be suitable in every par
ticular and against which no objection
will be raised.
Washington cannot afford to be satisfied
with anything but the best. Its public in
situations. of whatever description and
character, ought to be such as to serve as
models for other cities. In every depart
ment of it's municipal administration it
ought to come as near perfection as it is
possible to attain. This is setting a high
standard. but the capital of the United
States should not be satisfied with any
thing less than that. Proceeding along
these lines. the hospital for the treatment OF
minor contagious diseases should be a
place apart from all others. 1t should be, in
fact, as well as in name, an isolation hos
pital. There should be ample grounds,
ample buildings and ample equipments, of
the best known to progressive science and
nothing less than this will fill the bill.

The fact that the above mentioned gen

III NJTNBER of correspondents, states
n men and ordinary mortals were dis
cussing local and general politics In the lobby
OF the Ebbilt last night, and one OF the
scribes told the following story OF the
early DAYS of Andrew Gleeson, the local
Republican leader:
When Andrew first came to this coun-
try from Ireland quite good many years
ago, he got work in Pennsylvania, but in
a short time he secured n offer of place
on a Virginia farm, and thitbcr he made
up his mind to go. He had quite snug
little sum of money saved up, and this he
always carried in n belt stra pped round
his body next to his skin.
After his first days work on the farm.
when the shadows OF twilight were hover
ing over the earth, Andrew started out to
walk to his lodging, short distance away.
In all his experience Andrew had never
heard the croaa Of bullfrog, He was
walking along some marshy land and pref
ty soon. seemingly far In the distance, he
heard voice calling:
"Gleeson, Gleason, Gleesonf'
"Yis, your riverence,'' said Andrew,
hastily turning around and taking off his
hat.
There was no one in sight. however, and
much mystified Andrew started on, rather
frightened and on the alert for other sounds
Pretty soon bullfrog with an older voice
let loose, and this time Andrew thought
he was saying:
stop him, stop him, stop him."
He took to his heels and ran until he
reached his lodging, where. with bated
breath. he told his story. and it was unex-
planned until the next night. when some one
walked home with him and he again heard
the voices of mystery.
