cate that he had waited about three-quar-
tiers of an hour for the car. The conductor
volunteered the information that the walk
ing was good. but that did not seem to cool
the steaming citizen. Another time the
rear wheels left the track and the car
stopped The car men were very little con-
cerned at the incident. After delay of
some time a passenger ventured to ask
when the car would resume the Journey;
the conductor replied that he did not know
that 1t would ever go again. Under the
direction of an engineer passenger the
heavyweights all went up front to hold
that end down, while those too thin to act
as ballast tugged the rear end into place.
But you can't blame these car men when
they have the pace set for them. You
know that you, gentle reader, would do the
same thing just for fun to see the effect
on the people
If accepted in the right spirit this exper-
fence is beneficial. 1t develops patience
and the ability to adapt ones self to cir
cumstances. If you get there too late, and
your business suffers a few dollars loss,
don't swear, just whistle some comforting
air and think how much earlier you are
than you would be II you had walked all
that distance. 1t may not be much, but be
thankful for it.
If you have never taken this trip, don't
go into it blindly. Be careful. But If you
decide to risk 1t you will be well repaid for
your suffering, for Takoma is the most

A Park for lexington.
tor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The decision of the District Commission
ers to urge upon Congress the Importance
of setting apart certain tracts Of land in
the different suburbs of our city as parks
seems most wise and timely. The city
proper, through the wisdom and foresight
of our revered Washington, owes much OF
its reputation for beauty to the numerous
squares and circles which break what would
otherwise be rnonotonous stretches of brick
or frame buildings,
Now is the time to provide similar beauty
spots in the territory soon to be occupied
by the Greater Washington
AS a resident Of lexington / would call
attention to the desirabiltty Of the tract
bounded by Lincoln avenue, I'd northeast,
r and T streets for one such spot. The
ground is comparatively unoccupted north
owners of a large portion of the unimprov-
ed area are 1puhlic-spirited men, who, 1
doubt not wCulds be willing to offer their
holding at about aeost. AS is well known.
this tract is slevated about forty or fifty
thereto. and this elevation affords beau
tiful prospect, of the entire city and of the
broad Potomac and the lovely hills of
Maryland and Virginia, even giving a view
of historic Alexandria; and this feature
would make the park a true God-Send in the

CaterpilIars VS.. Sparrows.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
After several years of agitation the spar
row crank has met his finish in Boston
and elsewhere, and the crusade against the
sparrow has not only ceased, but stringent
efforts are being made to protect this
dainty breed of the bird kingdom Last
year the mayor Of Boston, the town coun-
Gil, ladies and gentlemen and the kids in
general all united into one army, and the
war with the sparrow followed. The
birds fetched premium when delivered by
the bushel dead, and great was the Joy of
the sparrow crank in those days. Those birds
fortunate enough to escape the assaults of
the descendants of the heroes of Concord
and Lexington found their nests destroyed
and all holes plugged up by order of the
mayor and the town council. That was last
year. The present summer Boston town is
covered with caterpillars, the beautiful
shade trees stand with bare poles: caterpil-
lars cover the walls Of houses enter and
crowd within doors. Caterpillas are to the
right and to the left, before and behind. The
mayor Is afraid to cape else a caterpillar
enter his mouth. The summer girl with her
white skirt stands up. as there is no bare
tracks as they slip over the crawling
worms. The plague Of the locusts with the
ancients was not a patch to the present
dilemma that the back bayites find them
selves in. Future historians will refer to
the crusade Of the sparrow and the cater
pillar plague that followed as one of the
striking episodes in the nineteenth century
history of the Athens Of the occident The
mayor, his councimen and the citizens are
now busy drawing out the plugs and send
ing out invitations to the sparrows to re-
turn forthwith to the classical shades of
the Cambridge campus and the Puritanical
freedom of Boston Common. They have
discovered (wise people, that the sparrow
will eat the larva of the pest. but not

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
Proposed Change of Method in Mont
gomery County.
pecial Correspondence Of The Evening Star

Special Correspondence OF The Evening Star
ROCKVILLE, Nd. July %. 1899.
In addition to the large number of candi-
dates to be nominated at the democratic
primary election to be held next Saturday,
July %, the question of a change in the
present primary system will be decided.
The plan under which nominations are now
made is what is known as the Crawford
system" or by direct vote of the people.
For several years this method has given
rise to much complaint among those who
prefer that the nominations be made by
county convention composed of delegates
from each election district.
At the county convention held here last
summer the following resolution was pass
ed, and under this resolution the demo-
cratic voters will cast their ballots for or
against a change in the primary plan:
Whereas, complaint has been made of
the present method of holding primary
elections for the nomination OF candidates
of the democratic party in Montgomery
county for the several elective offices for
which the people are from year to year
called to vote:
"And whereas 1t is deemed expedient to
submit the question of any change of ex-
listing methods to the people for adoption
or rejection;
Therefore, be II resolved, by the demo-
cratic party of Montgomery county, in con-
vention assembled, in pursuance to call
of the state central committee of said
party for said county, that at the primary
election to be held prior to the elections in
the fall of 1899. that the voters in said
primary elections shall be called upon to
express their sentiments upon this subject
and to that end the state central commit
tee shall have printed or written upon the
ballots to be used at said primary election
