THE WRESTLING NUISANCE.
Commissioners Petitioned to Abate It
by Legal Means.

The Commissioners of the District have
been petitioned to place ban on whistiing
and screaming within the city limits, and
the wise ones at the District building ven
ture to predict that in a few days the au-
thorities may be expected to take measures
to impound all persons found INDUCING IN
either vocal exercise without license. Al
ready the police department has been IN
structed to preserve the public peace, es-
pecially during the late hours OF the night.
According to communications received
recently by the Commissioners, the pubic
peace has not been preserved intact. On
the contrary, the Commissioners corre-
spondent asserts in substance that the pup
lie peace has been broken up In large
chunks by enthusiastic whistlers ana
''screarners,' and scattered indiscriminateiy
about over the municipality.
The complainant, Mr.. +. McCabe, VINO
gives his address as General Delivery,
makes the unqualified assertion, In MS let
ter to the Commissioners, that Whlstnng
and screaming cause an immense amount
of pain, annoyance and injury to heaith.
The birds of the forest have much to an.
swer for, as also have the small boys anu
the children, who In full innocent play,
laugh and shout with gee. Heretofore II
has been supposed by some that pain mas
been the cause of screaming rather tnan
vice versa.
The Washington resident who makes OBJ
further: mo one needs to whistle in public
places Children can play without scream
ing" The writer, in making this unqual-
flied assertion, evidently refers to the un-
fortunate tots who have been denied the
power of speech or articulation. Any
way" continues the Commissioners CORE
spendent, eff children scream all day they
can at least be quiet in the evening, when
people are at home and want to rest ana
sleep. The city is kept in a bedlam from
early morning until late at night, and more
or less all night by noises for the most
part absolutely unnecessary"
In order to obtain a strict Observance OF
the anti-whistling rule, in the event one
should be adopted, it is suggested that the
authorities will be obliged to put the war
blers of all the birds out of business, and
also require that every person in the DIS
trict wearing beard or side whiskers shall
have the same amputated, in order that the
gentle southern zephyrs may not have
chance to play through them.
