McDonald's friends had e- lected delegates whom they wished sent to Rock- ville. By courtesy no contest ws le in Mr. Gould's home district, although Mr. Gould had not seen fit to reciprocate in McDonald's district. ‘The organizer of this meeting felt, however, that in or- der to secure the best man for Congress, and to lace Montgomery county to the front, there might arise emergencies in which an !nstructed delegation would not be free to act. In case of a deadlock between friends of the two candidates, a delega- tion pledged to neither, but free to vote for either one or for a third party, would hold the key to the situation, Mr. John Brady sald he was no nublic speaker and did rot know that he was in harmony with the object of the meeting, bnt he would speak just as he felt.

DOUGLASS IN BRONZE Memory of the Colored Leader to Be Poerpetuated. STATUE 10 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 packzd and ready to be shipped to Phila- delphia, where they will be reproduced in bronze and the completed work afterward erected in Rochester, N. ¥. 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 fam, that it was thought fitting his mem- ory should be perpetuated in bronze and granite in that city. The popular subscrip- tion resulted in a fund of $10,000 being se- cured. The government of Haiti gave $1,000, Mr. Douglass having gained the est2em of the little r2public while there as the Ameri- can minister. The contract for the statue and shaft was let to the Smith Granite Company of West- arly, R. I., that company having given to anley W. Edwards, a young artist of Vesterly, the task of making the statue. Frederick Douglass. The work was to be subject to the approval of Mrs. Douglass and the three children of Frederick Douglass, Mrs. Sprague, Charles and Lewis Douglass. In ord=r that he might consult with members of the family and be where they could see his work Mr, Edwards came to this city last April. Search for a Studio. It was no easy task for him to find a suitable place in which to go to work. All the art studios were occupied and were not available for his use. The statue was to be of heroic size, and necessitated not only a room with a high ceiling, but where there would be ample space in which the work might be viewed from a distance as it progressed, and, above all, where abun- dant light could be had. Finally Mr. Ed- wards found the old First Methodist Protestant Church, well known to the col- ored people of the section as “Frog Eye.” en Virginia avenue between 5th and “th streets southeast. The church had long been abandoned by its congregation, and the property was readily rented and the work begun. The figure was first constructed in clay, and while this work was being done it stood on the platform at the altar of the church. Mr. Edwards ured clothir actually worn by Mr. Douglas during t» last three years of his life, and with th’ as a guide to the size of his subject pro- ceeded to secure a colored man as a mode It was at this stage of the proceeding tha’ the artist became a suspicious chara in the eyes of the colored people 1 about the “Frog Eye’ church. Several of the colored men whom he solicited in turn to. become his model believed he was a “night doctor,’ and, communicating thi suspicion to cthers, it was not long before the artist was the terror of the neighbor- hood. He finally succeeded in overcoming this prejudice, a model was secured and the work begun. The Preliminaries, Previous to this Mr. Edwards had pre- pared himself for his work during a period of a couple of years. In that time hé en- deavored to learn all about his subject and read everything ever written by or about Doug! The personality of the man in this way became impressed upon the mind of the artist almost as of one whom he had always known intimately. t seems to me,” said Mr. Edwards, speaking of his work to a Star reporter, “the predominant trait in the character of Douglass was*his strong self-will and self- reliance, and that made him what he was. The other side of his character, and an an- tagonistic trait, is shown by his life work, which was one of appeal to the better na- ture of man for his race.” In order to bring out these traits forci- bly the artist has made his subject stand firmly on his feet, with shoulders thrown back. The hands are thrown forward ‘in an appealing attitude. The pose represents the orator addressing an audience in Rochester immediately after the proclama- tion of emancipation. “I stand before you tonight for the first time as an American citizen,’ Mr. Doug- lass said, in beginning his speech on that occasion. Photographs taken at the height of Doug- lass’ fame, when he was about fifty years of age, served as guide in making the head. A death mask obtained by Mrs. Douglass was also available for securing necessary measurements. Approved by Family. The figure was first modeled in the nude and then the drapery was placed on it, and by this method the artist has secured a lifelike pose that Is as remarkable’ as is the likeness of the features. Every mem- ber of Mr. Douglass’ family has given ap- proval to the work in the most flattering terms, and a large number of Mr. Doug- lass’ friends who have seen the statue have been struck with its remarkable likeness as well as with its artistic qualities. It is the Douglass who was known all over the world during the stirring days that pre- ceded and followed the promulgation of the emancipation proclamation, and those who seé the statue and who knew the man are carried back to the days of his great- ness and feel that they can again hear his thrilling appeals for the liberty and uplift- ing of his race. There is more in the like- ness than could be placed there by copying the features from photographs, however lifelike they might be. The work shows that the artist in portraying the features was in full sympathy with the man and knew him afi his aspirations.

Not only have I, but my professional brethren have had it analyzed repeatedly by competent chemists in Washington. This we have had done in order to obliter- ate any doubt that may exist in our mindsp as we have never been contented to stand off and look at the water, as a certain med- ical officer of the present camp did in my Presence, and condemn it as being loaded with typhoid bacillus. Now, I do not propose to criticise the army, as I have too profound a respect for tts officers and men, but I will say that for several weeks after this camp was es- tablished there was a failure to carry out a proper disinfection, owing to a lack of the proper supplies. Not even a pound of lime was used for six weeks. Yet I con- tend with all the obstacles in the way the sick rate has not compared higher than the death rate of many cities. Another thing to be taken into consideration is that a great majority of the sickness oceurred in the ranks of the men from the north, and the southern regiments have been much freer from the disease. This is explained, I think, very conclusively when you take into consideration the difference in the cli- mate. It is the experience of every prac- ticing physician that in dry, hot summers visitors from the north are very apt to be affected with catarrhal and bowel troubles, accompanied with more or less fever, which resembles typhoid vers’ much at the begin- ning, but runs a much shorter course. Trusting that this explanation may re- lieve the minds of any person who may entertain fears that we are in the midst of an epidemic of typhoid fever, and believing dt my duty as a physician to do 80, I ree 5 T.

I 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. a Falls Church, since the location of Camp Alger, has been brought into great promi- nence. It 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- ful towns within the shadow of the national capitol. Our sanitary conditions have never been questioned, and while we occasionally have had a case of typhold 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 tion and treatment, I was particularly anx- ious to ascertain how he contracted the disease, and have been able to trace it to its origin, and can truthfully say it was not contracted in Falls Church. Typhoid fever is a disease which prevails especially in temperate climates and is widely distrib- uted to all parts of the United States, and presents eve! here the same essential character. The causes of typhoid fever are predisposing and exciting. It has been ob- served to prevail most in hot and dry sea- sons. .
