REMOVAL OF LEAVES.
of Street Cleaning
Responds to Complaint.

In letter to The Star several days ago
Mr.. Charles N. Moore called attention to
the practice of the authorities In allowing
dry leaves to accumulate under shade
trees. where they were often set on fire by
small boys or others. The clipping was
referred to Warner Stutler. the superin-
tendent of street cleaning. and he has sub
mitted the following report on the subject
to the District Commissioners:
1t may not be generally known that
owing to the long dry season which has
followed the first cold and frosty SPELL the
leaves from the trees in the city have fallen
more rapidly and in heavier quantities than
In any previous season that l have been
connected with the street cleaning DEPART
ment. Notwithstanding this fact, the work
OF gathering and removing these leaves has
been done more expeditiously and thorough
ly than ever before A careful observer of
the method of handling leaves could not
pug see that probably half dozen piles of
leaves are made during the day in the
same spot, and that such piles are removed
during the day, but the intervals between
the plling and removal must of necessity
be of such length as to give the ever
watchful and mischievous boy time to SET
match to them should he so desire The
employees of the street cleaning departmept
ano the police are both instructed to keep
watch and prevent such pranks as far as
possible, but it is impossible to do so in ali
cases.
The street cleaning department, as YOU
are well aware, has neither the aporopria-
tion nor the authority to sweep the leaves
from the sidewalks and the parkings in
font of residences. and as this work is
done almost invariably by the residents,
AMI usually after the hour when the street
cleaning force has stopped work for the
day. these accumulations cannot be re-
moved until the next day. and necessarily
afford splendid opportunities for the small
boy, whose pranks almost invariably begin
with the dusk of the evening
The assertion that piles of leaves have
been allowed to remain on the streets for
whole week, or even a whole day Is en-:
tirely erroneous To keep the streets free
of falling leaves would at this time of wear
require man for every tree This. of
course. is impossible under our appropria-
tion; but. as in previous years. we have in
creased the force upon this work to the
full extent that our funds will admit. and
II is confidently believed that the streets
have been kept in a sanitary and present.
able condition.
I'm this connection I would respectfully
state that should the present weather con-
ditions continue and the large force we
are now compelled to carry on this work be
maintained a deficiency OF probably $50. 600
will have to be asked Of the next Congress,
instead OF $l4,000, as heretofore suggested"

Church of Our Father.

A fair was opened at the Church of Our

through Friday evening. The proceeds are

world of butterflies suspended from the
ceiling of the church, and lowering ever the
booths along the walls have com olat.ly
transformed the auditorium. The lame of
the bazaar, '.the butterfly fair" is abu ID
antly justified by glance at the decoTa-

eral color scheme, and emphasizes the
swarm of butterflies which form its .hief
decoration. AS one enters the building he
passes first the canoy booth. OF which
Miss Minnie Curry is in charge. Then
comes the klondyke, booth Of mysterious
prizes, dispensed by Miss Lillian Royce,
where the children last night won articles
ranging from toy whistles to handsome
vases Stationery and aprons fill the next
two booths. Then comes the one booth
managed by men-''the home-cooking'' de-
partment of the tair. The chefs in charge
claim that everything worth eating can be
bought there. An orit ntal booth and The
nower display complete the circle. The
former looks like an Importation from In
