The Rock Creek Park.

To the Editor Of The EVENING STAR:
On behalf OF our citizens thank you for your
fight for our Rock Creek Park. One Southern men,
Der OF the House opposed the park for the reason
that we have two parks now supported by the
United states Government-viz: Arlington and
the Soldiers Home. II am not mistaken the FIRST
is a cemetery, and is located IN Virginia, and is
not a part OF or a suburb OF washington city. The
latter is supported Uhotty, is II not, by monthly
subscription OF 10c from the pay OF every soldier In
the United states ARMY ] am also Informed that
the soldiers Home Association owns the land
that It is a wealthy corporation, and 70 my per-
sonal knowledge IL has money loaned out at per
cent interest on real estate In this city. These
facts certainly dispose OF some very mistaken
ideas emanating from men who should not be
ignorant In such matters The proposition 10 assess
adjoining property 10 pay for the PARK Is a wise
measure, and the District should pay one-half the
expense, but IL is a very short-sghted policy TO
leU Congress adjourn without establishing the
necessary machinery toward securing this land. IL
is without doubt q most important public i'm
provement The idea that IL will cost
81, DOC, 600 to lay out this park or any
thing like that sum Is ridiculous The
adornment OF the park win come later on. I have
Just returned from q visit to New Haven, Conn,
where visited East Rock, and the city park there
laid out We have nothing In this section which
can compare with IL, and confess that as a lover
OF the welfare OF this city envious OF the prog

Germany and Russia have decided to treat Eng

her opinion In the strongest possible terms that
her grandson has behaved very badly toward his
mother, that he has insulted her, and that he has
manifested gross dlsrespect toward his fathers

ties at foreign court before the wreaths
on the late emperOr's comm are withered.
The young kaiser, In whom flial affection
or respect for his forbears are NOT strong

lions with at least equal acrtmony, and am told
that he has adopted q truculent tone In his cor

The Swaying Of the Eiffel Tower.
From the London Figaro
AFrenchman, who was close neighbor Of mine
at dinner the other evening, was full OF the mar
velous Effel tower. which already dominates
Paris. He had, In his capacity as journalist,
been allowed to ascend high the present state
OF the structure permits, and was most eloquent
as to the spectacular results Of the gigantic under
taking. The view from the top OF the completed
tower will be one such as nobody but q successful
aeronaut will have ever beheld, while the Oscilat
ing sensation which will be experienced will be
positively unique; for difficult as 1t is to realize
the fact It is mathematical certainty that the
top OF the Ethel tower Will oscillate in high wind
to the extent OF pard or two. Fancy, then, what
the experience Of en.erprising climbers win be
