To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
am sorry that cannot sympathize with
the hyperesthetics who are disturbed py
the whistlefs on the streets at night. al
ways like to hear negro, or any other
man, for that matter, whfstling along at
night. I know then that he is up to MOTH
ing worse. Perhaps II those gentlemen
would try the experiment OF hard days

turbed by such q trifle as an amiable-
minded man walking cheerily home whis-
Ting Nearer, My God, to Thee, or oniy
q Bird In q Gilded Cage" which seem to be
the reigning favorites with the Wasning-
ton negroes just now. JOHN McELho1.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Will you kindly allow a line In behalf OF
the whistler. Sufferer writes that ne
should be gagged and made to carry nus
boots hung around his neck, or else lockeo
In q police cell every night.
At midnight the whistler brings relief to
those who apprehend an attack by bur-
glar. The boots that Sufferer" would have
him wear about his neck, If you were able
to hear his step. would satisfy you at once
that he is on the street at that late hour,
perhaps returning after a long and hard
day Of toll.
The object of the writer is to encourage
pleasant thoughts. and these are brought
out by music l can see no objection to a
quartet at night time marching along the
street; the harmony which floats out in the
midnight air has a quieting and soothing
effect, and instead of putting the whistler
In a police cell, 1t might be we'll to ask him
II he would conf1ne his musical expressions
to a more moderate character, less harrow

souls. And hope that before Insomnia,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
1t is sincerely to be hoped that Mr.. Gill.
MIR. insomnia and Mr.. Sufferer" and
others will keep up the agitation until the
midnight idiotic whistler and his allies are
safely and securely hived. They infest the
streets at all hours of the day and night.
whiStling which has more melody, har-
mony rhyme in it than there is in the
brayng of an ass-and it emanates from
just intelligent a source.
We might conclude that the inhabitants of
Iceland are far superior to us in regard to
civilization, as it is fact that whistling
Is practically unknown with the natives,
who regard 1t as irrelgious and violation
OF the divine law.
Let all good citizens who are annoyed by
this into1erable and inexcusable nuisance
enter a solemn protest to the proper au-
thorities, and / am quite sure that they will
take the proper steps to abate the same.

shares of stock of an industrial COM

commended the stock issuing company
as being a concern sure to achieve bril-

bankers to be of general nature which
are customary in business usage, and
not of a character to make them re-
