During the civil war the HOSPITALS
were again used alike for soldiers and
sailors. In 1870 came
Reorganization reorganization, and
oe c.:.. this can be said to
WA be the real beginning
Of the service as it is today. All hos
pitals We're placed under the charge of
a supervising surgeon, commissioned
by the President. All other officers
were appointed by the Secretary Of
the Treasury, of which department the
service was, and still is. a part. After
the epidemic in New Orleans in 1853
the wisdom of making the service CORDS
mobile became apparent, and this was
one Of the biggest features of the
reorganization. And none too soon, for
between 1870 and 1880 came several
more epidemics of yellow fever in the
south. That of 1878 paralyzed the
whole of the south, stopping her eX-
ternal commerce and internal admins
tration. OF 10000 people attacked
$4,000 died. Although the service force
at that time numbered not more than
twenty officers they were sent to the
firing line to fight the disease. And
yellow fever at that time was little
understood by medical science. Not
even its method of transmission was
known.
As the horror Of 1858 taught Congress
lesson. the recurrent horror of
1873 showed the need of further meas
ures. and an act was passed to prevent
the Introduction OF contagious diseases
into the country. At about the same
time some of those opposed to this
step Were instrumental in the creation
OF national board of health, COM
posed of eleven members. who should
have charge of the quarantine control
Large sums of money were appropri-
ated for the use of this board. and it
carried out it's instructions for nearly
ten years. At the end of that time
however, the quarantine powers were
returned to the Treasury Department
which originally had supervision. Later
in the same year the powers were
transferred to the marine hospital serv-
ice, and since then have remained un-
der that Office.

The climate Of Washington has not ma

There Is evidence in the
Heavy files OF The Star that a

AIRY was then regarded IS
quite as much of a novelty as it Is now.
In the Issue OF February 23, 1865. is the
following news paragraph:
During Saturday night the snowfiakes
commenced to fall thick and fast. and
continued without abatement until the
afternoon Of yesterday (Sunday), when
it ceased showing for few hours. but
commenced again about II o'clock. Every
BODY who could rig up cutter, basket
sleigh, box sleigh or sled did so. and
during the entire day and part of last
night the jinglins of the merry bells
was heard on the Avenue and many OF
the cross streets. Stag parties appeared
to be in the ascendant-probably because
1t was Sunday and the ladies were too
scrupuloLs to violate the commandment
and toward evening many Of the crowd
became decidedly jolly, owing to the fact
that the horses would stop in front of
the restaurants and drinking saloons"

Difficult
Problems

proh1o.. tected citizen of today
From practically every port
in the world our seamen would return
home. and bring with them almost every
disease known at that time. And many
of these diseases were contagious and
instead of having to care for sick sea-
men alone, community would often find
itself threatened with the determination
OF its entire population. And all this
time the physicians were striving to
learn something of the diseases them
selves.
With cholera epidemics killing hun
dreds, 1t was natural that a move
ment should be started to place quar-
antine control under government super
vision. 1t was then police power Of
the individual states. 1t is interesting
to note that one of the first bills in
troduced In the initial session of our
American Congress related to this sub
Ject. But it was not until the first
session of the Fourth Congress that
s. any act bearing on the matter was
given the President of the United
States to change the place Of holding
Congress In the event Of a contagious
disease becoming prevalent in Wash
ington. That was in 1894, and two
years later another act was passed,
this time in connection with quaran-
tine control
In 1853 came one of the worst cpl
denies ever known in this country
or 10000 people in the city of New
Orleans alone who contracted yellow
fever 5000 perished. One of the handi-
caps in fighting the disease at that
time was the fact that officers of the
marine hospital service were stationed
at fixed posts, and consequently only
those stationed at the port of New Or
leans were there to fight the dread
plague.

Unsatisfactory
Explanation.

ton not regarded as satisfactory:
at was stated yesterday that the 1st
Pennsylvania Reserve refused to do duty
when sent on picket in the vicinity
Of Union Mills. The reason they give for
this disgraceful conduct. and which is no
excuse whatever for their criminality, is
that they have been in the service since
May or June, 1861: that they have par
ticipated in most Of the hard-fought bat
ties Of Virginia: that they are SO reduced
in numbers that no one regiment will
number 2JO men. and that their request
to go home and recruit has been disre-
garded. Just before going out on duty
