Referring to the item in The Star of a

This girl when baby" said Mr. Eek
hardt, came under the civilizing influence
of the Muhlenberg mission where the late
DIR. Day spent nearly twenty-three years
o. his life. At no time was there an appli-
cation to have this girl admitted to the
mother house. so that she might become a
deaconess. The board was asked TO take
her under the rules for helping those who
do not intend to become members of the
mother house.

her in a special relation, and this was

Rapid Transit for Mt. Pleasant.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
your editorial in Thursdays Star is so
We'll Lut and so we'll timed that it ought to
nave good effect. The citizens ought not to
De deprived of street car service to crafty
the nght1ng propensities of the two great
systems that now exist, nor to satisfy the
greed of either one or the other of these
systems
All OF that territory lying Immediately
north of the city and between 18th and 18th
streets, and commonly known as Columbia
Heights, Mount Pleasant, Meridian Hill
and Lanier Heights, is greatly interested
IN TINS question, and Is entirely without
service, except on 14th street. The Metro
poltan, with Its present terminus at 10th
street and Florida avenue, should be COM
PEELED to go northward by some route to
Lydecker street and thence west through
Mount Pleasant at Howard avenue or Park
street. The citizens want it and Con-
gress should not hesitate about requiring
1t. The Capital Traction Company with its
present terminus on 14th street near Ken
yen street, should be compelled to extend
Its lines through Mount Pleasant at How
ard avenue or Park street. The people
want this and Congress should give 1t to
them. Here is where the clash comes.
''Ingleside" in his article in Thursdays
Star, has stated that Howard avenue and
Park streets are "the only ones practicable
tor rapid transit" through Mount Pleasant
l concur in this view, and If this is the
case, then Congress should not hesitate to
say to these two great companies, that
they must for this short distance use the
same tracks. There is no engineering or
other difficulty about it, and that company
which will refuse this should be the last
one to complain. The company that will
object to this is the one that plays the
public false. Both companies are able to
do so, and claim to be ready willing and
anxious to occupy these lines Hoping that
each company is sincere, Congress should
at once put them to the test, and give
us legislation to that end, and should re-
quire the work to be done in the shortest
possible time or forfeit their charters
This annual fight between the companies,
by which the citizens are continually shut
out is growing very mOnotonous and is
getting hard to bear. The citizens west
of 18th street may be a little worse of
than those east of 18th street, but all are
bad enough of to very justly feel outraged
that present conditions should remain.
Our people east of 18th street will heartily
of 18th street in urging any bill or bills
that have for their object the requiring
of both lines through the territory indi-
Gated and requiring both companies to
use in common this short line through
Howard avenue and Park streets, '1ngle-
side does not seem to trust the Metro
politan company, but We do, and whether
he we are right Is not material Let
Congress take up the question and require
citizens or give up their charters and give
way to some company that will. Let us put
our shoulders together and We will soon
find out which company is playing the dog
