AN AGGRAYATEp NUISANCE.

Rock Creek, as it meanders through the
sylvan landscape along its upper course, is
one Of the prettiest and most romantic
streams to be found in many a days journey.
1t bounds along over its rocky bed, pure and
undehled, until it reaches the habitations of
man, and then all its beauty disappears, and
instead of the limpid, gurging water we be-
hold slime and flth and nastiness
The condition Of Rock Greek at Georgetown
is graphically depicted in the columns of THE
TIMES to-day. To many readers the revela-
ton viii come as a surprise, especially to
those who have but recently become residents
OF the District and those others who have no
business in that deIeetable vicinity. They will
wonder why it is that at the Capital of the
United States a condition of things is allowed
to exist that deilles pure stream and creates
a continuous and ever increasing menace to
the health of the community
The fact is that at the point described in
THE TIMES to-day Rock Creek is nothing but
an open sewer and as such imperiis the health
not only OF the dwellers in that immediate
neighborhood and section, but of the whole
city. IL is dumping ground for all sorts
Of oiIal. which is bound TO taint the atmos-
phere and create miasma. Along its banks at
that point the same conditions prevail.
Ii may be well to bear in mind in this con-
nection that Tiber Creek before it was arched
over was much in the same plight, and one
need not belong TO the Oldest Inhabitants
Association to remember that great deal of
disp3ge WINS traraahia IN a
Is Rock Greek TO become what Tiber Creek
once was?

The Washington times., 1895-01-20

Mrs. Cleveland. since her return to the
White House from the country place at Wood
ley road, has been holding a series of inform
ally formal Monday afternoon receptions
On these occasions at O'Clock those who
call by invitation of the mistress of the White
House are ushered into the Red Parior, where
Mrs. Cleveland generally has some young
lady Of her acquaintance to pour tea from a
daiutily set table at one end or at one side of
the room. which is by far the most comfort
able and homelike in the Executive Mansion.
The Cabinet ladies have a standing invita-
ton 10 these Monday afternoons at O'Clock,
that in quiet way have been enjoyed by So
ciety for q number of weeks No regular in
vitations are issued for these receptions, but
those whom Mrs. Cleveland desires to have
call and take part in the pleasant sociability
OF the occasions are verbally invited by her, or
IN some instances little note is written.
Miss Katherine Willard has met with sue
cess in her plan of giving three matinee
muslcales during her present stay in Washing
ton. The fact that she is the guest of the
President and Mrs. Cleveland and that the
invitations 10 subscribers are issued from the
White House has undoubtedly had much to
do with this effect. Those to whom invita-
tions were sent were requested to signify
their acceptance by enclosing $40 to Miss
Willard for the series OF musicales and to di-
rect the same TO her at the Executive Man.
