south Tenth street Paving.

OMAHA, June 29.-To the Editor of The
Bee: During the absence OF our dis
tinguished mayor who is in Denver seek
ing to further his own interests by trying
to work up a boom for himself for gov
ernor of the great state Of Nebraska. and
also the absence OF our city engineer, who
is only In Omaha systematically, some per
son or persons, evidently with malicious
intent, have placed piles Of broken stone
in some Of the larger holes in the asphalt
pavement on South Tenth street in the
vicinity Of Brownell Hall. embracing a dis
tance of several blocks.
In view Of the fact that many beautiful
homes are situated in this vicinity. and
furthermore that this street is a thorough
fare to and from that great institution,
st. Joseph's hospital, Of which our city
should be so proud. It seems an outrage
that these stones should be left in the
street for ambulances and carriages con-
veying the sick and afflicted to and from
the hospital to pass over, much to the dis
comfort and no doubt danger to the health
Of the occupants thereof. Tenth street is
almost dangerous to automobilists
Someone has suggested that the rocks
were piled into some of these holes in an
effort to repair the street, but no sane man
would dare hold to that idea after viewing
the premises. Would it not be well for
our mayor and city engineer to give our
city some attention. instead Of spending
their time elsewhere? 1t is reported that
q number of persons have twisted their
legs and had to seek medical aid. and one
man with a wooden leg broke it while at
tempting to cross the street after alighting
from the car. OLD SUBSCRIBER.

OMAHA, June 500 the Editor Of The
Bee: My attention has been called by one
of our special agents to a report showing
the cause of two recent fires to have been
directly traceable to sparrows' nests, which
have. without doubt. been either the direct
or indirect cause of numerous other fires.
The report is as follows:
About two months since a fire was dis
covered in the top of a cupola of st. An
thongs church, 200 feet above the ground,
in Evansville, caused from a sparrow's
nest. The MelrOse Milling company's ele-
v9tor at Fort Branch was destroyed from
this same cause, which goes to show
that there is a hazard in leaving open ven
tilators in buildings that has not been
taken into consideration.
The English sparrows are taking this
part OF the country, and it would seem
that two fires near one city within so
short a time would make 1t necessary that
all such openings or ventilators be pro-
tected by wire screens. While the church
was saved, scarcely any damage being
done, yet in the case of the milling com
pany the entire elevator plant with large
warehouse near was utterly consumed.
1 believe the suggestion for protecting
openings should be brought to the atten-
tioB of the owners OF buildings of every
class which may be so exposed.

MARION, S. c., June 27.-To the Editor
of The Bee: / note In the Columbia Is. c.
State an extract from your paper on the
subject of changing the words Of the popu-

you are quoted as saying, 1T won't do.
Dixie is the land of cotton, cinnamon
seeds and sandy bottom" You are I'm error
in the use of the words cinnamon seeds"
The correct words are simmon seeds"
meaning "persimmon Seeds simmons
being the negro expression for that fruit.
The southern darby Is alleged to be par
ticularly fond of "'possum and taters,"
"waterminions," and "'simmon beer the
last being a weak but pleasant drink made
from perslmmons after early frosts have
fallen on these fruits and sweetened and
ripened them. The author of Dixie GER
tainly had simmons in his mind in
composing his famous song, for down here
we know nothing of cinnamon seeds" No
cinnamon, SO far as the writer's informa-
ton goes, is raised or grown in the south
ern states, nor are 4" 'simmon seeds ever
called cinnamon seeds"
The darkey is specially attached to the
" 'simmon" for other reasons than that II

suitable for making a pleasant but non
intoxicating drink. He H. attached TO It be-
cause in the fall Of the year the 'simmon
is the favorite food Of the darkey favorite

At no time is the "'possum' so good as
when the 'simmon" crop is full and ripe
