Easter Festivities and Sickness.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The following editorial paragraph appear
ed in The Star Of the 7th instant:
There will. OF course. be some of the
old-time Queen, Of the May foolishness
this year. and the usual accompaniment Of
bad colds"
The Star might also have added that
there will be much of the Easter egg-roll-
ing "foolishness." from which will result
tho usual pneumonia, Group; rheumatism,
sciatica. neuralgia, coughs. colds, sore
throat or hoarseness.
AS Easter often comes in March and
never later than April Is. the weather is
never suitable for children to sit or play
on the ground, as they must necessarily do
in egg rolling. April weather is not appro-
pirate for a picnic on the damp grass in
the open air.
: The Easter picnic on the White House
grounds Is sanctioned by custom, but with
no more reason than women can give for
sweeping the sidewalks with long skirts
or wearing hats shaped like dustpans.
Theirs not to reason why;
Theirs to do the styles or die.''
Frolics In the White House grounds
should be postponed until summer, when
tho Marine Band gives its enjoyable con-
certs. THOMAS w. GILMER,

Mr.. Browns Letter.

In answer to your letter we have no au-
thor1ty for building the switch into the
congressional building. and 1t was only
placed on the plan to show how 1t could be
done. at the request of Representative
mittee to select a place to build the new
building for the House of Representatives.
OF course an act will have to be passed
giving them the right to put this siding in,
If 1t Is built. We do not intend to do any,
thing with this. however. as 1t Is not COW
cred by the act authorizing the construc-
ton of our line.
I'VE have sent separate plans to the SUI
perfntendent Of the Congressional Library.
It Is the intention at the present time only
to go ahead with the tunnel and the work
north and east Of Florida avenue. The
plans for the building will come I'D on a
separate application.
Il do not understand that the District Is
TO do anything which will require an ap-
propriation between South Capitol street
and North G street. and we thought we
could go ahead with this part of our work
as soon as you are willing to allow US to
do SO.
north end. at Massachusetts avenue until
we have your authority to do so, We will
give you ample notice before we commence
work. and deposit the necessary money to
enable you to pay your Inspectors
Practically in Sight.
The Commissioners are. of course, ready
to allow the railroad companies to go
ahead with their work at the earliest mo-
ment convenient to them and will do every
thing In their power to facilitate matters
From present Indications it seems the be-
ginning of the big project is practically in
sight.
