A Suburban Curiosity.
r. the Editor of The Evening Star:

70 the Editor Of The Evening Star:
l should like to be allowed the use of
sufficient space in The Star to call the
attention of your readers to an old land
mark (sic) which is about to disappear
and to suggest their making a visit to it..
1 refer to Providence street, Brookland
in its present condition, between 18th and
18th. All who have never seen this curl
osity should do SO at once. The strange
spectacle of a street half street, half ca
nal, with stalled wagons dotting its placid
surface and children fearleSSly playing on
its very brink, is inspiring.
To be sure, this condition has it's dis
advantages. For instance, it is not enliv-
ening on chilly Saturday night TO pass
on your way home the load of coal that
was designed to keep the pot boiling and
the mercury from cOngealing over Sunday,
haf sunk from sight naif d square below
your house. 1t is not agreeable to sit SHY
ering IL d stalled buggy in the middle of
the street and wait until a DOntoon bridge
can be constructed to get you safe TO
shore. Nor is it pleasant to have ones
eldest boy brought in after immersion in
the scrni-liquid in a state resembling Adam
fresh from the hand of Providence and
before the clay of which he was construct
ed had begun to cry.
Then, TOO. the powers that be have Qcst
man should be puffed up with unseemly
pride over the beasts that paddle in the
mud beside him) taken away the wood
en- sidewalk that we used to have, and
have given us III its place u nice new
promise.
On the other hand, the fishing in the
street is quite good at this season, the
facihties for making mud pies is unsur-
passed and after another rain the boat
ing will be excellent.
But to return, all who have not seen
this selni-liquid ooZing, viscid relic of a
colonial country cross-road, still existing
in lhickly settled street of an otherwise
prosperous suburb of the national capital,
should do so, as it is to be removed at
once-the Commissioners have promised.
No longer will the name of Providence
street call to the mind of the devout the
thought that Providence alone can get us
safely along it, and no longer will its
Shiny depths, 100 soft for wheels and too
tenacious for boats, make us wish for
wings-we have the sacred promise of
the Commissioners.
Note-Visiting parties should come pro-
vided with ropes, in case any one should
slip or be pushed in. l.. NJ. d.

ROCKVILLE, December 90 1897.
A farm and stable on one of the farms of
Mr.. James G. Cashell, short distance

by fire about 2 o'clock yesterday morning

a total loss. The origin of the fire is I'M
known. but occurring at the hour it did
there Is a strong impression that it was of
incendiary origin.
Members-elect from this county to the
Maryland legislature are making prepara-
tons for their departure to Annapolis the
first week in January. This is the first
time in the history OF the county that
full republican delegation has been sent
to the house of delegates and much inter-
est Is manifested in the result of this
change. Among the measures of interest to
the people of the county which it is I'M
derstood find favor with the delegation is
that of changing the present mode of COL

This plan has for several years been in on
