Some Suggestions About the Trees.

To the Edito. Of The Evening Star:
After very careful observation and study of
the question q few remarks are respectfully
ventured upon the density Of the trees in
Washington with the hope that proper action
will be taken at an early day to remedy the
evil That our trees are very beautiful all will
agree; but there are too many of them. That
they are too close together and that they have
not been properly pruned are deplOrable,
solid facts, and the urgent necessity for thor
ough pruning and thinning out is becoming
more apparent as they increase in size. Ex-
amples Of timely and skillful pruning may be
seen in the sycamores on 18th street, the pop
lars on street (Which we're relieved of nearly
all their branches but o short time since) and
the naples on Maryland avenue east These
trees are now d0urishing and are among the
most hardy in our city. and if similar treat
ment could be applied to the crowded. over
burdened and topheavy trees in other sections
All trees in the center OF avenues and streets
Pennsylvania avenue east and New York ave-
nue., for example-and every alternate tree
where they interlap, shut out the light or
prevent free circulation Of air should
be converted into fuel and distributed
strength and beauty OF these per-
mitted to remain, to the sanitary advantages
of proper distribution Of shade and sunshine,
to charity and to the real beauty and adorn-
ment OF the city. The thinning out of tine
overcrowded trees and bushes in Mcpherson
Square and pruning of those remaining is o
marvellous Improvement to that locality. One
can now see through the park in either difec-
ton, which has heretofore been impossible,
and the sun is permitted to shine upon the
beautiful statue and the grass and shrubs grow
ing beneath. Lafayette Square, Franklin
Square and all parks and squares whose
beauty is now marred by an overabundance
of trees and underbrush or bushes should be
relieved as Mcpherson Square has been, letting
daylight into darkness, making it possible for q
healthy growth Of grass and converting our
breathing places" into 'things OF beauty and
joys forever" instead Of retreats or lurking
places for criminals and other disreputabie
characters. as some Of them are now said to be.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In Kent county, Del, near the town of Fred
erica, stands small brick edifce known as the
Barratt Chapel. In this church the wooden
benches and pulpit with which it was fur
nished at tho time of its erection over 100
years ago still remain. Besides its antiquity
great interest attaches to the structure OF, ac-
count Of weli-established fact of its history
that here occurred the first meeting in Amer
lea Of Bishops Asbury and Coke, and the iden-
teal hard-seatei and uncomely bench on
which they sat and conversed on the subject of
their mission and plans is pointed out by the
people OF the neighborhood not only with
pride -Nnd satisfaction but with an evident
touch of reverential awe. The writer. visiting
In that locality year ago, found the house ii,
= perfect state OF preservation, in con-
slant use ~ place of worship Of the followers
OF Wesley and with rent and well-kopt ceu1-
terry surrounding it still used as place of in
torment. IT,.

A Change Suxxested.

Health Officer Hammett today sent to the
Commissioners for their approval an order
making q change in the matter of reporting
still births. Under the proposed rule no per-
mits for burial will be given in any such
case unless the report ID signed by q
registered physician and not by q mid
wife. In cases where midwives
report still births it is the intention OF the
health officer under the proposed rules 10 have
one Of the physicians to the poor or a physi-
clan connected with the health Office make an
investigation and report the result of the same.
DR.. Hammett thinks this rule necessary to pre-
vent the possibility Of q crime being concealed
BY Q midwife.
