George washington's Cold Weather Coon.


To the Editor of The Evening Star:
As usual of late years they are protecting
Greenoughs statue OF Washington from tine
injurious effects of cold and dampness. While
there is considerable diversity of opinion as to
the artistic merit of the statue there is consid-
erably more discussion to the order of archi-
lecture of the building which covers it. L, ia
hardly ornamental enough for a modern hen
coop and too far from the Capitol to serve as a
wood house. nor Is there anything in Its ap-
pearanee to indicate the purpose for which il
Is used. In order to satisfy the public mind il
has been suggested that either a sign be put on
the building. as Gold Weather Coop for the
Nude Statue Of Washington" or George
Washington's Winter Quarters" or that the
statue be placed on the outside with a placard
pointing to q. VS. Winter Retreat" But
the most economical plan would be to split the
shanty up into kindling wood and remove il to
the basement Inc statue itself is anach-
roni-m and an entire misconception. To ex-
hibit the father of his country in the costume
of a Roman gladiator is as incorrect as 1t would
be to parade Cicero in a plug hat and claw
hammer coat or Cesar in knckerbockers
or top boots. Besides there is not only
An absence Of anything suggestive of
tie character of Washington, but everything
tends TO shock our sense OF propriety and the
eternal fitness of things. Il il true that this
statue has been discussed periodically from the
beginning, but the question will constantly re-
cur and no one will rest satisfied TO have IL re-
main - the bes. and only representative Of the
father OF his country in the city which he
founded Think of it, the decorous Washing
ton, represented half nude as he appeared TO
himself alone when ready TO make his morning
Aoluiion Neither in nor in peace did any
one ever see him otherwise than beeomingly
dressed, and why the sculptor should think il
necessary TO represent him thus cannot be un-
derstood by any one whose judgment has nos
been perverted by undue reverencefor the classic
models The poorest statue I'm the rotunda is
Infinitely more appropriate to the character
whom II represents and several Of them are far
N advance Of this in every particular.
III kindly nature we're permitted to have her
way she would charitably split the statue into
fragments, aud many people are not disposed
10 interpose any obstacles, but rather to lend a
helping hand They object. therefore, to this

both because the thing protected is not worthy
OF protection and also because the edifice Ia a
disgrace to the place IL occupies Think oft for
a moment common wooden shanty located

To the Editor Of The Even n star:
Regarding the color line at the bathing
beach can offer ten years experience in sur
reptitious bathing. both in the Potomac and IN
Rock creek, IL 1t will throw any light on the
subject During that time have failed to no
tics any disposition of white and black to min
gle Each preferred to battle alone, and GER
tain it Is that each had their own particular
bathing places, well recognized by the frater-
nifty. and any disposition to intrude shown by
either side would be quickly resented by the
other. This prejudice was mutual and deep
seated and was the cause Of many serious trays
especially around Rock creek, where the eliei-
Bile bathing places were few and both parties
naturally desired to secure the best / venture
to say that If the question Was left to the col
ored people who will actually use the beach
and not to sensational race line agitators the
matter would be quickly settled The popular
ity of the beach was well attested by the many
bathers that frequented there. although it was
not opened until late in the season. Many
more will attend when 1t is fairly started. and
Mr.. Stevens can feel assured of the heartiest
sympathy and gratitude OF hundreds of would
be bathers. unknown to him. both white and
black. In his rather uphill struggle to estab-
lish a bathing beach IN Washington.

More Street Railroads stjil Needed.

To the Editor o! The Ev-fain- Sta-:
II my humble attempt to draw attention to
this subject has succeeded in awakening dis
cussiOn II may do good. The writer in last
evening STAR makes point with which 1 am
entirely in accord-sparing or avenues from
needless blotches. would even GO further than
he and widen the application to telegraph
poles. advertising fences. &c- But East Wash
lnSton. NJ the present time. presents the oppor-
tunity OF locating new street railroad lines so
that they can be confined to streets and save
the avenues. As pointed out in nv last ar
ticle. the territory most needing railroad lines
is that large space between East Capitol and III
streets north Either or ID streets north
could be used for this purpose. the latter the
best because it more nearly bisects the terri
tory mentioned If such line was extended
beyond the Anacostia it would supply much
needed communication between the country
east of that stream and the heart Of the city.
i believe as firmly as any one IN preserving the
beauty of Washington. but "a city of beauty"
ceases to be "a JOY forever when the prac-
tieal needs of the people are sacrificed for
esthetic tastes. As to the profit of street rail-
roads, the writer in last evenings STAR may be
better informed than myself. since have never
owned a share of such stock. but Judging from
the price at which some OF our street railroa
stock IL quoted the actual original investment
must have brought handsome returns l. Z.
