Death of David FOwble.

Mr.. David Fowble the father of Mrs.
John C. Parker of this city, died at his
home, in Westminster, Md, yesterday, the
9th instant, III the eightieth year of his
age.
Mr.. Fowble was q resident of Washing
ten city from 1910 to 1862, since which he
has been a resident of Westminster. He
was one of the California Forty Miners"
and in the famous overland trip accom-
panied Mir. Goldsborough Bruf across the
plains and the mountains. He was gen.
tlernan of the utmost probty and honor,
respected and esteemed by all who knew
him. He was a lifelong and faithful MEM
Der of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.
When St. PauPs English Lutheran Church
of this city was organized in 1913, Mr..
Fowble was one of the charter members,
and the first treasurer of the first Sunday
school of this church. He was also a mem
her of the church council when the congre-
cation was in its formative state, and serv-
ed in this capacity for a number of years.

Sidewalks Distractions.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1 notice that quite respectable endeavor
is to be made to enforce the law and dnci-
dentally, of course) the will of the Commits
sioners of the District as to the removal of
signs and other sidewalk distractions.
Now, l would like to know whether poor
barber who has his pole sign upon the side
walk sins as much or is as great nuisance
as the great corporation which maintains a
large, uncomfortable and totally inartistic
structure upon public sidewalk. I refer to
the transfer shed of the Washington and
Georgetown RAILROAD.
This shed spoils the appearance of the
of cars at this point the most crowded in
the city,, with their transfer privileges,
make it source of positive menace to life
and limb. Then. again. the unceasing clat-
ter of the cars and changing of their bells
create a perfect pandemonium, that has
already driven one business away from that
locality and is now injurirg others.
AS this transfer system is necessary, why
not compel the company to transfer its pas
SengerS at 14th street and Pennsylvania
avenue, and hire building for a waiting
room and transfer station. 1t seems to me
this would be better than to have such a
affair as the transfer Sh "a.
What some CT the public would like to know
is by what authority the Commissioners al
low this corpora ton to occupy much of
the SidewSlk while refusing the poor barber
one square foot of tagging on which to raise
his pole A. R. s.
