Children's Fairgrounds.

I'VE now have nineteen Fairgrounds IN

reporter today. 1.-The teachers have been
driven to their wits ends in story telling
and playing games Many of them In des-
peration have purchased toys themselves.
There are enough toys lying on back shelves
in local homes to furnish all the play
grounds with enough. VIII the people not
take down the old. dusty game Of dominoes.
or checkers, or lotto. or authors. or GRO
quet and send them over to the playground
office at 326 F. street northwest or to one
of these Fairgrounds that Is nearby" AL
most any kind of toy will come in handy
and will be worn to shreds during the sum-
nIer. On rainy days. when the children
be the chief resource of the teachers. Pic
tuTe books and magazines will be appre-
Ciated as much toys
Mrs. Hoeke has asked the w. c. T. u.
If the members did not want to contribute
money to furnish barrels for ice water in
the Fairgrounds. The president, Mrs. Shell
don, said their members were mostly out
of town, and she doubted If they could
raise the money for the purpose. However,
within fifteen minutes $34 had been con-
tributed which was handed in to the COM
mittee on Saturday.
The following contributions were received
this morning: William Sims, SIS; W. S.
Hodge. So; Mr.. Brown, $40.
The entire contributions to the playground
fund now amount to S4,G25, leaving S425

Signers of the Round Robin"

To the Editor OF The Star:
The petition signed by thrty-seven Of
the boys of the Eastern High School asking
for the removal of Mr.. Swartzell corrobor-
ates the statement of Mr.. SwartZells ad-
herents, that the best element of the school
it not arrayed against the principal. First,
let IL be said that pupils are transferred
from one year to the next purely upon their
marks in their various studies, and that the
signing of this petition or the commission
of any other acts of insubordina ton could
have had no possible effect upon these
marks, as a pupils standing for the year
is practically determined by the 1st of June.
With this in mind, compare the list of sign
ers of this petition with the list of pupils
promoted, printed about month ago IN
The Star. OF these slgners two We're MEM
beers of the senior class who failed to grad
uate-for reasons best known to themselves;
three were ''repeaters Is, were so
poor In scholarship that they had been
obliged TO repeat the year; eight were pass
nine failed outright. Two of these at the
time of signing were not even members of
the school. Moreover, there is scarcely a
boy who failed or was conditioned in his
studies whose name is not on the list In
every school there is a certain proportion
of poor students. That is unavoida BILE But
when 60 per cent of the signers of a petit
ton are from among such students does
that petition represent the attitude of the
school? Public opinion earnestly be-
sought to open its eyes and be just
would do well to consider that question.

BUILDING EXTENSIONS.
Colonel Bromwell Would Transfer
Authority.

Colonel Bromwell, the engineer officer in
charge OF public buildings and grounds.
has recommended to the Secretary of War
that an effort be made to secure an
amendment to the law governing extern
sons of buildings beyond the building line
80 as to limit the Jurisdiction OF the War
Department to cases where such extern
sions encroach on public reservations and
to give the District Commissioners final
Jurisdiction in all other cases. He says
that his Office was called on to act In the
cases Of 667 applications for building extern
sions during the past fiscal year. These
extensions are bay windows. porches. steps,
area ways, show windows, etc. Colonel
Cromwell says that the object of the law
is to prevent encroachment upon any of
the United States public reservations by
extensions Of the character mentioned
adjoining such reservations. and adds that
of the 1.131 building squares IN this city
only 1876. or about 10 per cent of the entire
number. adjoin government reservations
Nevertheless, under the law, all applica-
lions for projections beyond the building
line must receive the approval of the Sec
rotary of War; and Colonel Bromwell says
that this entails useless labor upon the
Secretarys office and his office. as well as
unnecessary Inconvenience and delay 10
the applicant. THE interests of the United
States" says he, would be just as well
protected and much unnecessary labor and
delay saved were the law amended so as
to require the Secretary's approval only
on applications that provide for extensions
to buildings that are to be erected on prl-
vate lots adjacent to public reservations"

Sermon of Mr.. Bushby.

Rev. William R. Bushby occupied the pull
pit of the Church of St. Michael and AL
Angels yesterday morning. This church
has been without regular pastor since
the resignation of Rev. William r. Turner
who gave up his work here In order to
spend some time in England The text from
which Mr.. Bushby spoke was Peace be
unto you" the words of Christ, which he
said were familiar to all.
Peace" he said, SIS the harmonizing OF
the many and varying elements of our ma
lures. 1t Is the reconcilement of all d.
vergences and represents the deep calm
and quiet serenity which follows when pas
sion and sense, intellect and heart are
brought together and their interests made
common. The real seat of peace Is within
and Is not to be found In external condi-
tons or material possessions or the ability
to crafty passing desires or whims. 1t Is
ones own state of mind and heart 1t is
rather to be realized in life of mastery
over circumstances-in spirit which
through faith in risen Lord rises superior
to external conditions"

RALPH WALDO EMERSON.
His Life and Works Theme Of DR..
Keut,a Discourse

Rev. Alexander Kent lectured before the
congregation Of the Peoples Church at
Pythian Temple yesterday morning on
THE Life and Works of Ralph Waldo
Emerson" The hall was well filled. sew
eral members of the Emerson class Of
All Souls Unitorian Church being In at
tendance
Emerson was a unique thinker. poet and
man, said DIR. Kent, who referred to
Lowell Whittier. Iongfellow and Bryant
as men of rare gifts. but said none of them
were men Of genius like Emerson.
"All poets" he continued. ARE seers In
greater or less degree. but the higher pow
ers of seership can only be developed in
connection with intellectual independence
and with a moral courage that is ready to
follow where truth leads. 1t requires
rare degree of independence and courage
and a supreme confidence in truth to so
break with current religious thought as to
forfeit the fellowship Of even the more
advanced liberals of ones time and to be
regarded by them as atheistic. Only those
who have such courage, only those who
love truth enough to heed her slightest
whispers and to obey her every behest, can
develop those rare powers OF seersh1p
which make men the prophets and teach
ers Of mankind
60 where he will IN the realm of hu-
man thought and experience, one finds
that Emerson has been there before him
and left the evidences of his careful sur
vey at almost every point. His fame is
world wide. Before the thought of OAR
win and Wallace Tyndall and Huxley.
Spencer and others began to engross at
tention no writer had more influence in
England than Emerson. And the new
thought had, perhaps, its greatest attrac-
ton in the fact that it furnished a scien-
tifc basis for that confidence in the uni
verse which Emerson always reposed. and
afforded a demonstration of that evolu-
tionary process which his teachings at
firmed.
Whatever place the future may assign
Emerson as a thinker or philosopher, he
has made for himself a place in the hearts
Of all the lovers Of moral and mental free
dom. from which he will not easily be dis
lodged"
