The Hospital and Congress Heights.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

In reference to the notice which appear
ed in The Star last Friday evening Of a
protest which was alleged to have been
signed by large number (sixty-seven) of
the citizens of Congress Heights, in rela-
ton to the building by the government Of
hospital buildings on its own ground. on
the east side of Nichols avenue and op-
posite from the present buildings, let me
say that but few signatures were obtained
in Congress Heights How many were ad-
ded to 1t from citizens in Washington and
elsewhere / know not. Let me give you
the milk in the cocoanut," and that is
that the Wilson-Randle syndicate tried to
foist on the government large tract of
their rough land, hills and hollows, at
$1,000, then 81, 500 and finally $1,000 per
acre, for the new hospital buildings,
which cost them but a fraction of said
sum, and is assessed at $50 per acre. The
land along Nichols avenue Of such tract Is
fairly good and shaded by oak and other
trees. Back a distance from said avenue
it is full of steep ravines, scrub pines and
bushes and fit for nothing. 1t would not
bring $50 an acre. Failing to have the
government purchase it they offered to ex-
change it for other land belonging to the
United States south and west Of Con-
gress Heights, and at the last session of
Congress the Secretary of the Interior was
authorized to make such exchange acre for
out such trade being effected and finally
the Wilson Randle syndicate sent to the
Secretary of the Interior their letter stat
ing that their land was not for sale or
trade under any consideration.
Then the contract was let for the new
hospital buildings, and work commenced
on them on the east side of Nichols ave-
nue. Then the syndicate plead the baby
act. and withdrew their letter from the
Secretary, and offered to trade some of their
land, seventy acres for eighty acres of the
ground where the buildings are now in
process of construction, and the Secre-
tary having no authority to do SO quickly
refused. This eighty acres Is beautiful
tract of land. and level as a barn floor.
and the syndicate wanted to get it and lay
it out in town lots, as it adjolns their
town on the north. Where the buildings
are now being erected is the best possible
place for them. The grounds around them
will be made most beautiful with shade
trees, shrubbery, flower beds. ETC.. veri-
table paradise of park. 1t is all bum
combe about hurting the town Of Con-
gress Heights with the buildings on the
north of the town. If the syndicate's land
had been taken the buildings would have
been placed on the west side of the town
and much nearer its center. And now
after thousands of dollars have been spent
on the grounds for the new buildings, it
would be the utmost folly to cease work
and give up the ground to a lot of specula-
tors for a town site. JUSTICE

AS long ago as the beginning of the

conducted by curious persons to ascer-
tain which spider produced the best
and largest quantity of silk, for it has
been demonstrated that it is an excel

typewriter in Mr.. Rockaway's office
When the redheaded woman bounced
into the room, she first attacked those
beautiful side whiskers, and they were
wrecked in breath. Then she started
in to wreck things, and her language
was English and her tones loud. She
had the whole floor alarmed in two
minutes, and the people who rushed IN
found the typewriter girl hiding I'M
der the desk and Mr.. Rockaway on the
floor and mixed up with broken furni'
ture. 1t was lively while 1t lasted, and
the redheaded woman had breath
enough left to explain that the man on
his back was her lawful husband. but
had run away from her In Buffalo a
year before. He had nothing to say In
reply, and when the agent came up and
told him that he had better look for
other quarters he prepared to move.
I didn't see him until the remains Of
bis office furniture had been sent away.
Then he rang for me to take him down.
He had not resumed his side whiskers.
There were scratches all over his face
and neck, lump on his jaw, and the
wildness yet fingered in his eyes. ex-
pected he would threaten or reproach
me, but he didn't feel at all that way.
On the contrary, there was sadness In
his voice and gentleness In his hand as
he reached out for a farewell shake
and said:
"Sammis, cannot blame you. be-
gan right, but l did not carry out the

was you who brought her up?"

"And you gave my side whiskers
away?"

"Well, 1t was my own fault. Office
gone, whiskers gone, typewriter gone
and the redheaded woman camped on
my trail. am financially ruined, Sam
mis-, and cant say that l have even
saved my honor. However, here's my
hand, and bear you no ill will. If
die, shall forgive you: if live on, it

That afternoon Mr.. Rasher. the agent,
called me into his office and said:

A few weeks ago, when Mr.. Rocka-
way, the kodak agent, moved into room
6S, he took an early opportunity to say
to me:
"Sammis, there are owners of sky
scrapers, and there are agents and jan
itors Of skyscrapers, but the elevator
boy is the real boss"
Yes, sir; he u.s." humbly replied.
IF he stands in with the tenant, that

Sammis. Quarters and halves and dol

"Should a woman call here, Sammls
An oldish woman. with red hair and a

you are out. of course. She's the
woman who wants contributions for

bothered"
Exactly, Sammis! And you are q
jewel!' he said as he patted me on the
head. II am always to be out when
she calls. You are to discourage her
from calling again. You may even hint
that l have removed to Chicago or St.
Louis. see you closely scrutinizing
my side whiskers, Sammis. Don't you
like the color?'
Eyes, sir, but they are false"
"Ah, Sammis, another quarter for
the gigantic mortgage. It's little no.
ton of mine to wear false whiskers for
few weeks, and nothing need be said
about 1t. What we know we know, but
we keep mum about it. You trust me;
trust you. Well make that mortgage
look sick In month or two. Ia, ia,
Sammis! l think we understand each
other"
l thought so, too, and it was all
right for two or three weeks. Mr..
Rockaway didn't come down with any
more halves, but didn't lay that up
against him. 1t was what he said and
did that hurt my feelings. One day ut
the fourth floor lawyers boy called
me sawed off liar. stopped the ele-
vator to punch his head and thus was
late getting up to answer a call from
Mr.. Rockaway. He was mad about it,
and taking me by the ear, he said:
"You trifling young monkey, but I'll
have no more Of this! I've good mind
to report you to the agent and have you
bounced! What do you mean by such
conduct"
I'm sorry, SIR"
"That makes no difference. From
this time out l shall have an eye on
you, and you'll either walk chalk or
get the bounce. Do you hear me?"
The iron struck home. From that
hour waited and longed for a red
headed, sharp nosed woman to appear.
Luck was with me. On the afternoon
Of the fifth day she walked in and
made straight for me and said:
"Bub, I'm looking for man named
Rockaway. I'm his wife,"
"Have you got business with him"
asked.
II have-strict business. Is there
such a man In this building?"
''There is a Mr.. Rockaway here, but
he's got side whiskers."
"Oh, he has! Well, I'll pull 'em OF In
