A Plea for the Bells.

To the Editor of The Star:
In this rapid. feverish age the age Of
poster head lines, alphabetfc editorials and
all kinds of isms, comes, with the other
hysterical symptoms of the hour, a vibrant
cry for the suppression Of the church bells,
OF course in the end 1t will prevail. If ouly
one shouts loud enough and long enough to
arouse popular clamor the end will be gain.
ed. This seems to be verified by the history
of the past. Be that as it may, one incon-
splcuous citizen ventures a word Of protest
against this latest crusade Of the icono-
casts. Wearied and annoyed beyond meas
ure tonight by the ruff1ing cares of the day,
sitting in his chamber window, his heart
welcomed and blessed the sweet soothing
influence of the bells. In the only too brief
intervals between the noisy nerve-racking
clamor of the street cars there came float
ing on the breeze of evening like sweetest
music like benediction after PRAYER the
soft silvery notes of the bells, sweeter far
than the horns of Efland family blow
ing" for they stilled "all the jarrng notes
of life to blend them in a psalm"
No wonder, then, when came the deep
dream of peace and higher, nobler things.
under the gentle influence of the bells the
dreamer should wish for a thousand tongues
to protest against those who in these later
days of advanced thought and progress
would not spare even this one dear relic of
the past-the bells-sweet BELLS not vet
tangled out of tune"

PUBLIC PARK ORDERED.
One to Be Established at Florida
Avenue and 22d Street.

One to Be Established at Florida
Avenue and 22d Street.
A public park Is to be esta blished by the
government at the intersection Of Florida
avenue and 22d street northwest. The nee
essary land for this park was turned over
to Brig. Gen. Alexander Mackenzie, chief
engineer Of the United States army, as the
recipient for the government, by the Dis
trict Commissioners this morning.
The transfer Of this property was made
possible by the provisions of an act Of
Congress approved July 1, 1885, regarding
parks and parkings. According to the let
ter of the Commissioners to Gen. Macken-
zie notifying him of this transfer, they
stated that the park is to be created in con-
between P and streets. They say that
the pavement probably will be laid before
the first of the year. and they make re-
quest that the necessary water connections
for the park be made by the federal gov
eminent at early date as practicable.
The residents and property owners in the
vicinity of the proposed location Of this
park have for some time appealed to the
Commissioners for such a public reserva-
ton, baSing their claims upon the fact that
at the present time that section Of the city
is marked by the absence of such public
space, which they point out would add
neighborhood. The Commissioners kept
these requests in mind and recently deter
mined that a lot belonging to the District
located at Florida avenue and 22d street
could be spared and satisfactorily utilized
public reservation.
