FEVER ABATEMENT.
Records Show a Diminishing Number
Of New Cases.

Reports filed at the health Office yester-
day showed that nineteen typhoid fever
patients had been discharged from quar-
entine during the preceding twenty-four
hours. In the same time only nine new
cases were reported, so that the number of
persons under treatment showed a net de-
crease Of ten.
Judging from present indications the
worst phase Of the present outbreak Of the
disease was covered in the two weeks
period ending on August 49, In that time
TIA cases were brought to the attention
OF the health authorities The patients
stricken at that time, it is believed, are
now largely included on the list of recov-
cries. Because only a small percentage of
fatalities were included in last weeks ty-
pho.d record it would seem that another
encouraging feature is present in the out
break-that Is, that the fever this year
of a mild type.
Last week total Of sixty-hve new ty-
phoid fever cases were reported, an in
crease of only one over the preceding
week, showing that practically no materi-
al or alarming Roadway had been made by
the disease during the seven days. To be
sure a vast majority Of the persons strick-
en- with typhoid since the present outbreak
assured its most serious aspect are still
under treatment, and the ultimate outcome
cannot yet be safely forecaSted. Records
at the health Office show that typhoid has
now prevailed to serious extent for forty
cases have been reported-an average Of
nine cases for each day. Three hundred
and two of these patients are now under
treatment, forty-four have died and eighty
five have recovered and been discharged
from quarantine.
A week hence, 1t Is hoped, the good eff
fects Of the filtration of a portion OF the
city's water supply will be felt. Typhoid
germs develop in the human system with
in three weeks after their absorption. Sep
TENDER II filtered water will have been
flowing through tn city mains for the Pc
Rod of three weeks. By that time all per.
sons who imbibed the infected unhitereo
water will have felt the effects thereon,
If they ever will during the present out
break Not all of the city's water supply
Is now turned into the mains In purif1ed
state, but the quantity is Increased py
o ,OOO 600 to 12OO0, 600 gallons each week.
and this ratio will be continued until the
whole of the filtration plant Is In opera
ton about one month hence. Twenty-four
million gallons Of this purified water, or
about IS per cent OF the total daily con-
sumption, is flowing through the mains
today.
While there Is no way OF ascertainins
lust how many Washingtonians needed the
often published warning to boil the wa
ter" or otherwise protect themselves
against Infection the marked dimlnuuon
in the number of new typhoid fever cases
reported in the past two weeks, as COM
nared with the preceding fourteen days.
IS taken as an indication that these meas
ures Of safety were not neglected.

NO CHARGES AGAINST HIM.
Capt. Van Reuth's Statement in Per.
sonal Vindication.

Capt. Adolph Van Reuth in a statement
made last night to Star reporter said that
after waiting six months for charges by

him by the Henry w. Lawton Camp, Of
which he Is the past commanding officer,
and at a recent meeting Of the camp Com
mander ]. Lyon King informed the mem
bers present that not single charge could
be presented to have him court-martialed.
Il have been always and am at the pres
ent time member in good standing" said
Capt. Van Reuth, "and as the old officers
Of the corps of the District Of Columbia
have taken no action in generating me
publicly and having been succeeded by the
newly elected officers on August /, 1905, re-
greet am compelled to take this course
Capt. Van Reuth hopes in "a spirit of
fairness" that he may be publicly vindi-
Gated Of any allegations that may have
been made against him.

"LADDIE" PASSES OUT.
Pet Of Children of the Southwest Is
Dead,

There are many who will be distressed
over the sudden death of 'Laddie" the
beautiful Scotch collie owned by the late
Col. Ros. A. Fish. "Iaddie' was fond of
stealing rides on the electric cars and
baths in the fountains. 1t was after his
usual swim and ride that the little dog
was run over by the Mt Vernon cars at
14th and streets southwest Wednesday.
The newsboys and park watchmen have
lost a companion and true friend, and most
of the children grieving for their pet.
''Laddie" was old resident of South
west Washington and was known to every
one on Virginia avenue.

ifested by the jail inmates was wholly due
to excitement incident to their anticipation
of freedom after terms of incarceration.
Another examination will be made this
morning, and 1t is confidently predicted that
all of the twenty-one can be set at liberty
forthwith In the meantime Clark Lee the
other colored prisoner who was taken from
the north wing Of the Jail to the quaran-
tine station, is still under observation, but
he has not yet developed definite symptoms
of smallpox.
In connection with the standing rule that
all children attending school must first
have been successfully vaccinated. the
health officer has announced for the benefit
of those parents to whom the payment of
a physicians fee might be a burden that
they may have their children vaccinated
gratuitously at either the Emergency or
Casualty hospitals any week day be-
tween 1 and o'clock in the afternoon.
