DEFENSE OF FALLS CHURCH.
Typhoid Fever at Camp AIger Did
Not Originate There.

Not Originate There.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Permit me, through the columns of your
most excellent paper, to make a statement
as to the much-reported condition of un-
heaIthfulness that is existing in Falls
Church and adjacent country at the pres
ent time, in order that all doubt may be
removed from the minds of the readers of
your paper. 1 feel that a great injustice
has been done to this town and community
by the erroneous statements which have
been made through the press that an epi-
demic of typhoid fever is existing in our
midst at the present time.
Falls Church, since the location of Camp
Alger, has been brought into great promi-
nence. 1t has brought people into our
midst from every state in the Union both
good and bad. Prior to the location of
Camp Alger it had always been recognized
as one of the most progressive and health
full towns within the shadow of the national
capitol. Our sanitary conditions have never
been questioned, and while we occasionally
have had a case of typhoid fever, We have
never yet been able to trace the cause to
any local condition. We have had in our
town this year one case of typhoid fever,
and, as the patient was under my observa-
ton and treatment, / was particularly anx-
iouS to ascertain how he contracted the
disease, and have been able to trace it to
it's origin, and can truthfully say IL was not
contracted in Falls Church. Typhoid fever
Is disease which prevails especially in
temperate climates and is widely distrib-
uted to all parts of the United States, and
presents everywhere the same essential
character. The causes of typhoid fever are
predisposing and exciting. 1t has been OBJ
served to prevail most in hot and dry sea-
sons. The greatest susceptibility is be-
tween the ages of fifteen and thirty years
(the average age of the volunteers. The ex-
citing cause is a typhoid germ. The poison
usually results from decomposition of ty-
phoid stools and the sputum and generates
from ordinary filth and decomposition
The poison gains its entrance into the sys-
tenn by means of infected water milk nneat

Memory of the Colored Leader to Be
Perpetuated.
STATUE TO Be PLACED IN ROCHESTER
The Artist Performs His Preliminary
Work in Washington.
APPEAL OF COMMITTEE

The first statue of Frederick Douglass
has been made in this city during the past
four months, and the plaster molds are now
packed and ready to be shipped to Phila-
delphia, where they will be reproduced in
bronze and the completed work afterward
erected in Rochester. N. Y.
A movement was started in Rochester
some time ago for the purpose of erecting
there a statue of Douglass, the expense to
be borne by popular subscription. Roches-
ter had so long been the home of the repre-
sentative colored man of America during
the period when he was in the height of his
fame, that it was thought fitting his mem
ory should be perpetuated in bronze and
granite in that city. The popular subscrip-
ton resulted in fund of $4,000 being Sc
cured. The government of Haiti gave 81 600
Mr.. Douglass having gained the esteem of
the little republic while there the Ameri-
can minister.
The contract for the statue and shaft was
let to the Smith Granite Company of West
arly, r. l., that company having given to
Stanley w. Edwards, a young artist Of
Westerly, the task of making the statue

the church in which the work was being
done. 1t was shortly after the head had
been carved in the clay, and the windows
being opened, the colored men saw the
figure they stood outside. They were
seen talking together and chuckling over
their words. The artist seeing them
asked whether they knew who the statue
was meant for.
Does we know him?" replied one of the
men. Il guess we does. OATS Fred Doug
lass, sho'."
Mr. Edwards, who has achieved so great
a success in his work on the Douglass
statue is thirty-one years of age. His art
education has been practical one. He
studied in Boston, New York and Cleve-
land, Ohio, in the latter city taking a
course in surgical anatomy. in order to
thoroughly understand the superficial anat-
omy of the human figure. He has always
been a close student of art and has many
examples of his work in different parts of
the country.
Chairman Thompson Wants Aid.
The monument will be unveiled September
IA next. The pedestal will be nine feet high
and the brCnze statue eight feet.
There will be four bronze tablets bearing
sentiments selected by Mrs. Douglass and
Mrs. Rosa Douglass Sprague Of this city.
The cost when completed will be $4,000.
The state of New York appropriated $1,000,
and, as stated the republic of Hayti con-
tributed $1,000.
]. Wall Thompson, chairman of the Doug
lass memorial committee, stated to The
Star thai s., 500 had been collected by him
self, and he desires now, that the citizens
of Washington shall contribute to the fund.
The committee in charge appeals to the
citizens of the United States, he said, to aid
the worthy project. Mr.. Thompson also
stated that he had received no contribution
from this city with the exception of SO
from Justice Harlan, 50 from Speaker
Thomas B. Reed and So from President Nc
Kinley. He has had nothing from those of
whom Mr. Douglass was the acknowledged
leader. Persons who may wish to contri
butte to this fund, he said, may send the
amounts to the Douglass monument COM
