To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Within the past ten days one Of the
largest and most magnificent trees In all the
Smithsonian grounds has been razed to
earth for all time, and as I write this I
hear the cruel blows and crushing, tearing
fall Of limbs from another of even greater
grandeur-it SO distresses me I cannot see
it longer-and for what? Not because eth
er of them were in the way Of the founda-
ton OF statue, already constructed, near
where these stood. Can it possibly be any
thing else than nihilistic passion of who
ever is in charge of this thing to destroy,
blot out, some of the grandest specimens
OF natures handiwork? 1t is an outrage,
and believe tnat.if DIR. Gross had himself
been asked whether the statue of any man
or these trees should go, he would Instant
ly decide on the statue. Not that either Is
niece ssary, for there are scores Of sites of
equal availability that could be selected
Tor the purpose. and without the destruc-
ton of a single tree.

the apparent paradox that the single tax

Three Destructive Fires Were In Progress
AZ One Time.

Three Destructive Fires Were In Progress
at One Time.
PATERSON, N. j., May 12.-Great dam
age has been caused by fires in this city.
The first Ere broke out in the malt
house of the Hinchcliffe Brewing COM
pauy, a six story building, containing
300, 900 bushels of grain. 1t at one time
threatened to sweep through the entire
brewing establishment While this was in
progress another fire broke out in the
Machinists' association building at Broad
way and Prospect streets. This building
was occupied on the first floor as ma
chine shop and in the upper three floors
as a silk mill 1t was 200 feet long and 80
feet wide and built entirely Of infiamma-
BILE material Aid was sought from Pas
saio, and two engines arrived from that
city.
When the excitement was at the high
est, q third FIRE broke out in dwelling
house on Marshall street, and this build
ing was burned to the ground on account
Of lack Of facilities for fighting the flames.
The malthouso was entirely destroyed
with contents, and the loss Is estimated
on that property to be $685. 900, with S75,-
900 insurance.
The top floor of the Maohinists' assooia-
tion building was occupied by Herman
Plantin, a silk throstler, whose loss is es-
timated at SIC, 200, covered by insurance.
The third floor of the same building was
occupied by Haeniohan Bros, manufao-
turers of silk coat Innings and tailors' sup
plies, whose loss is SEQ, O00, partly insured.
Henry Frost, a silk throstler on the SEQ
ond floor, estimates his loss at SIS, 900.
J. E. Morehouse, manufacturer of ma
ohinery, on the ground floor is estimated
to have lost $40, 600; covered by insurance.

Worcester train.
The other, a wood and iron structure
ON the New England road, started soon
after, and the woodwork was entirely Do
strOyed The fire department was called
FROM Blackstone, but was unable 70 rem
der much assistance, and the loss on this
bridge will reach S1B, 900. One hundred

MOUNT HOLLY, N. j., May 1s.-The
Amber Carpet mills, operated by G. 8.
Masland & Son of Philadelphia, and COW
ering three acres of ground here, were to-
tally destroyed by fire, The loss will easi-
ly aggregate $500, 600; covered by insur-
ance. The plant consisted of four large
buildings, only one of which was saved
This contained 500, 600 worth OF made up
carpets. Five hundred hands are thrown
out of employment. The volunteer fire de-
partment of the town was unable to cope
with the fldmes, and, in response to tele-
grams, engines were sent by special trains
from Trenton, Camden and Burlington.
A thunderstorm arose during the fire, and
flying sparks set fire to several rows Of
houses, but the damage to these was
slight.

The Boiler OF the Harry Brown ExpIodes

Minutes.
VIoKsBURo, Miss, May 12.-One Of the
most terrible river disasters of recent years
occurred about 90 miles below this city.
The steamboat Harry Brown Of Pittsburg,
upward bound from New Orleans, ex-
ploded her boilers. The boat was a COM
plete wreck and sank in less than five
minutes. Eleven lives are known TO have
been lost, as follows:
Pilot Norman bravo.

William Dougberty, chief engineer.
Miss Annie Hess, ohambermaid.
Tom Judge, fireman.
William Wilson, fireman.
First Mate William Fitzsimmons.
Second Mate Pat Carniff.

The survivors and also the wounded
were brought to this city on the Hon

otherwise seriously injured.
Dennis J. Lomey, second engineer, bad
ly soalded and internally injured; will
probably die.
Two deokhands, names unknown.
Mr.. bravo, an old pilot, was Of Pitts-
burg, and was a !, most excellent man,
whose death will be greatly regretted. The
bodies of the three dead men, which were
brought here, are at Fisoher's undertaking
establishment and have been embalmed
and will be sent to their homea
Rescued by n TOwbost.
The towboat Honshell was so near the
scene when the explosion occurred that her
yawls were lowered at once and were
promptly manned and saved many lives
that would have been lost II 1t had not
been for their prompt service.
Captain Kline, the master Of the Brown,
although seriously injured, remained on
the after part of the cabin roof Of the
Brown, where he had been blown by the
explosion. He was seen by reporter and
said 1.-THE after part of the cabin floated

Donot cut up with unnecessary walks; |;
in fact, on private grounds walks, ex-
cept leading to the house, barn or other
buildings, are utterly useless In place
of walks ornament the grounds with
borders Of sbrubbery and herbaceous
perennials, and what difference in ap-
pearance Where walks are required
they should not be less than five to six
feet wide-we often see them so narrow
that two Persons can't pass each other.
The writer in American Gardening who
makes the foregoing remarks also gives
this advice:
In making walk dig out about eight
to ten inches and fill in with ashes or
cinders, and for the top dressing use
clean washed lake gravel. This makes a
good walk, and when raked once week
always has tidy appearance. Where
lake gravel cannot be had other gravel
will do when properly sifted. On un-
drained grounds it is advisable to put
broken stones on each side of the walk
for drainage The same can be used
along the side Of carriage drive in
place of tiles.
