Mr.. John S. Dufie of 61S street be-
leves that the children of the District
should be provided with Fairgrounds, and
in letter to Commissioner Mcfarland he
suggests that there are acres of ground in
the Agricultural Department grounds GO
ing to waste that might be utilized for
Fairgrounds. and that there are many other
places here where such provision for the
younger generation might be made.
Il notice. wrote Mr.. Duffie. that the
city has provided for the comfort and con-
venence of animals, and that the animals
of the Zoo are provided for with great care
l notice that great plots of public land are
set out and planted with trees. flowers.
etc, but that there is no provision made
for the children. The children are abs2-
lutely kept in terror of being arrested all
the time. There is no place for them to
play. and if they throw ball on the street
or laugh loud. they are liable at any time
to be taken up and taken down to the
judge of the Police Court
This, Mr.. Duffie thinks. is a burning
shame, and he asserts that there is always
in every neighborhood some old widow wo-
man. or, what is worse. he adds, some old
maid, who never could get married, and is.
he declares. still angry about it. who
thinks that the children should not be al
lowed to laugh. If there is the slightest
noise in the street, continues Mr.. Duffie.
they complain to the police, and the police
seem weak enough, he further asserts, to
listen to these complaints. 1t is a fact. he
says, that in his neighborhood the children
are absolutely afraid to go out on the
streets. and it is further fact. he adds.
that If they congregate near any of the
corners to talk the police drive them away.
Men have sports, says Mr.. Duffie.
Men throw snow balls. They play base
ball and race horses, and the grown wo-
men play golf and all other sorts of games.
and the children are expected to chirp. l
repeat that this is a burning shame to the
city. Now there should be provided. in
several localities, a playground for the
children. and there should be stationed at
such Fairgrounds some kindly old gentle
men who know how to treat children and
keep them from hurting one another"
1t is understood that Commissioner Mac
farland is DESTROYS of affordng the chill
dren every facility possible for play. and
he may be depended upon to further their
enjoyment. But he will probably in reply
ing to Mr.. Duffie. invite his attention to the
fact that Fairgrounds have been provided
for children in the Monument grounds.

OBJECT TO THE NOISE.
Complain of the Heavy Cars
ON nth Street.

11th Street.
Mrs Isabella Rice and number of other
residents on nth street have filed with the
District Commissioners protest against
the running of heavy suburban cars on
that street. The protes.ants state that the
street is very narrow and that the noise of
these heavy cars makes living on 1t almost
vulnerable. They say the houses are
shaken by the cars from basement to roof
making the homes uncomfortable and I'M
profitable to those who rent rooms.
The matter was referred to Mr.. L. P.
Bradshaw. an inspector in the District en-
gineer department, who states that the
cars complained of have. an estimated
weight of thirteen tons each. empty, and
sixteen tons loaded. Twenty OF them are
in service, all new, running between l1th
street and Florida avenue and Anacostia
Oh II four-minute schedule between am
and pm, and on fve-minute Roadway
before and after these, hours. Mr.. Brad
shaw says the use of double trucks on
these cars is necessary incident or their
length and weight. and, though more noisy
in operation than the Iower-set single-truck
cars, are not appreciably SO under normal
working conditions.
In the case in point says Mr.. Bradshaw,
the track and car equipmene are both new.
and that the noise complained of In Its
greatest extent Is due to insufficient wear
OF wheel fianges and rail groves yet to
admit of smooth running. newness of
mechanism and consequent want OF free
working adjustment in bearings. When
these things have rectified themselves, Mr..
Bradshaw says. he knows Of no reason why
these ears should not run with as little
noise as is consistent with their build, and,
comparatively speaking. OF the smaller
types of cars.
The substance of Mr.. Bradshaw's report
will be transmitted to the proiestants with
the approval of the Commissioners.

 Must Not Speak Too Freely.
 The editor of small provincial pa per in Austria was in great difficulty to find fit subject for his leading article, having been too intent upon other business or upon pleasure to provide one. The last moment had come and the editor was in despair. He tortured his brain in vain, when he suddenly was inspired by happy thought and dashed off the lines: After carefully perusing the leading article written for the present number by one of the ablest of our contributors. We have ar rived at the conclusion that 1t may be misinterpreted by the authorities and regarded as an attack upon the gov ernment. We ourselves consider 1t to be perfectly innocent, but, as We are unwilling, for our readers sake, as well as for our own, to have our news paper conffscated, we have very un. willingly, though as we think, pru- dently. resolved to withdraw the art1- c1e. This must serve as the apology to our readers for the blank space in our present issue" The journal was pub tished, in the evening, and the sly ed tor. after performing this little piece of st2atagem, left the office in high humor. As soon as he arrived in the office next morning clerk came up to him, with a doleful expression, and said, Herr Redaktor, the paper is confseated by the police!" For what reason?o asked the astonished editor. ~For malicious ridicule of the institu. tions of the Austrian empire by the omission of the leading article re- piled the man.-New York Press.
