To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The closing of Pennsylvania avenue to the
business wagons would mean a loss of tens
of thousands of dollars to the wholesale
merchants on the avenue. These men have
vested their money in property. To c.ose
the avenue would drive all of their trade to
other houses or possibly out of Washing
ton. There are in the neighborhood of 200
grocers in Washington, who use the avenue
to get to the Center market. L trust you
will be fortunate enough to finish hauling
the marble for your grand building before
the avenue is closed for the benefit of few
men who reside here a few months while
Congress is in session They have no busi-
ness interest at all in the business section
of our city.
Why not fence in the avenue and lay over
the concrete Administer carpets for the ben
eft of these peop,e? How many stores
both wholesale and retail, on the avenue
have any back entrance to their places of
business? Very few that l know of. How
many goods could be delivered before q
o'clock am. and after dark? The depots
and close to shippers at about 4 pm. Real
estate will soon be worth about 10 cents
per foot for business if any such thing
would come to pass. Our honorable Commits

HIS ADDRESS WANTED.
Santa Claus Mail is Waiting for
Him.

Does any reader of The Star know the
correct address of Santa Claus? The Post
Office Department is anxious that the dom
iciie OF the chiidrens patron saint be 10
Gated. in order that the letter carriers all
over the country may deliver the thousands
of letters addressed to the old gentleman.
For upward of month now the dead let
ter office at Washington has been receiving
hundreds Of letters addressed to Santa
Claus alias Kris Kringle, and the depart
ment is in a quandary to what to do with
them. All of the letters contain valuable
Suggestions as to just what the little ones
most desire for Christmas. The clerks have
been kept busy opening the letters. in the
hope of finding some clue to the address of
that grand old man. 1t has been labor of
love to the clerks, for the letters are all
couched in endearing terms, and there is a
breath of sweet trustfulness in each that
Is refreshing. Many of the letters are adj
dressed to Frigid avenue, North Pole. This
Is evidently mistake, since the north pole
has not yet been discovered. One or two
letters name his address as Blzzardville.
RMS might have been meant for Washing
ton last year. There is no post office by
That name in the guide
1t Is wonderful how the little ones all
over TINS big country want practically the
same things. The boys all want fire en-
gines, police patrols, drums and guns. This
year they are very DESTROYS of having gun
boats and lead soldiers. 1t is the spirit of
PATRIOTISM, they say at the Post Office De-
Pdrllnent, that is actuating the little menu
oers OF the big republic. The girls have
not changed their wants very materially
some want furs. and all have desire to
possess new dolly.
While the address of Santa Claus has not
been found, it is expected messenger of
the Old fellow Will call at the post office
some time during Sunday and get all the
man; It Is said (and 1t seems a good ex-
cusel that the reason he has not called be-
lore Is that the roads have not been pro-

CITIZENS INDIGNANT.
Complain Against Order for the Muz-
cling of Dogs.

Considerable indignation has been aroused
among owners of dogs in Anacostia and
Twining City whose animals were taken up
by the pound wagon yesterday afternoon.
Later the owners were compelled to pay
to secure the release of the animals. Some
paid under protest
The persons owning the animals complain
on the score that they have been unable to
secure muzzies at short notice When.
therefore, the pound wagon made its ap-
pearance yesterday afternoon it was but a
short time before it was able to return to
quarters completely filled with captured
animals.
Recently the force of men with the
pound wagon has been busy clearing Hills
dale and Garfield of stray dogs. The police
have secured q list of over thirty owners
in these places who have neither tags nor
muzzles for their dogs, and who wish them
delivered to the pound. A small white
child named Thomas, living in Anacostia,
was bitten in a slight manner by dog a
few days ago, and It is said if the animal
is not killed the case will be taken to the
Police Court

Change Ordered.

After comforting with the chief engineer
of the fire department, Mr. Joseph Paris,
Commissioner Wight, who has immediate
supervision of the department, has directed
that fire alarm boxes 24G, 14th and Staugh-
ton streets, and SO. 18th and Bnney streets,
be made what is known as three-company
boxes. AT present engine companies IL and
3 and truck 3 respond when these two
boxes are sounded. The recent destruction
of the residence of DR.. French, on yelling
place convinced Mr.. Wight that the exist
ence of q number of large apartment
houses in the ueighborhood of these two
boxes made it advisable that another en-
CINE company should respond when they
are pulled
Chief Paris agreed with Mr.. Wight in
the matter, and as No. I company, located
on r street between 9th and 10th streets,
is the next nearest engine company, Fore
man Wagner will be directed TO hereafter
respond with No. to these two boxes.
