The ClnnROr of the GonRs,

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
We who live on the line Of the newly
completed electric road in the eastern part
of the city desire to call the attention of
the company to the annoyance that We
suffer at night from the ceaseless clangor
of the gongs on the motors. Sleep is rem
dered impossible until the cars stop run
ming for the night, unless one closes the
windows and retreats to the back part of
the house. At 10 at night all Of us In the
northeast go to bed, and the streets are
absolutely deserted, still the gongs ring
without ceasing until the last motorman
1etires exhausted. In New York, on Broad
way in the busy hours, 1t Is perhaps neces-
sary to warn pedestrians frequently, but
ring. 1t is simply barbarous. l can See no
motive for the ringing except to amuse the
motormen, and some better system than
this should be devised at once. If some of
US, for the purpose Of advertising our
business or to amuse our employees should
blow trombone or beat q drum beneath
the windows of the directors of this COM
rany Gay and night we would very prompt
ly hear howl Does the railroad own the
town? We have allowed the company to
deface our beautiful streets, to keep us all
in turmoil with digging and hammering
for the past year, and now we propose to
let them have our homes, after driving us
out by destroying our ability to live in
them with any comfort. If this noise were
necessary for the safety or convenience of
the public we would say nothing about it,
but move out and give our homes
to this accommodating company but
since 1t can accomplish nothing except
to drive US mad. we feel rebellious.
ANTI-NOISE.

The Band Concerts at the Capitol.

The Band Concerts at the Capitol.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Now that the Marine Band concerts are
again in full running blast the former crit
icisms of their awkward position at the
Capitol are again revived. AS is well
known, they occupy platform which
stands In the center of small plot of
grass directly between the House wing
and main building. This is so near the
building that the echoes are constantly be-
Ing waited back SO plainly as to confuse
and rattle the banismen. The audience
is also obliged to bear the heat Of the as
phalt. which at this time Ia just shedding
its absorbed heat. People are also in con-
slant danger of their lives, as bicyclists
nearly monopoliZe the entire space . Many
musical citizens would dearly like to at
tend these concerts, but refrain from doing
so on account of the character Of existing
conditions.
The only way in which to rectify these
defects is to utilize the immense beautiful
lawn facing the magnificent new Library
This would be- an ideal locality, and one in
which nature and natures first cousin
would blend In harmony. The freedom of
the lawn should be allowed the spectators
while the vehicles and bicyclists would be
confined to the asphalt Immediately in
front. The Marine Band could occlDy the
center of the circle, and so perfect would
be the acoustic properties that the sweet
strains could be heard in every section of
the immense grounds instead of the muf-
fled. dead, dull sounds which we now near
As the Capitol concerts draw the largest
audiences, it is but fair that they should
be properly entertained. The claim that
the grass would be ruined by such an ar
Iangement as is suggested above is ridicu-
lcus. As the concerts only occur weekly
1t will be readily seen that this obie ,tion is
entirely without foundation.
Give US a change of locality, and then
the Marine Band Capitol concerts will be-
come popular and enjoyable.
