OF the foreigners, who were seen
here. wore a white turban, the others
wearing black or dark ones. When
ever any of the Hindoos of the black

A Plea for the Botanic Garden Site.

"A 6Acd LUZ LuS oOLdulC 0dIueu 0ltc.
To the Editor OF The Star.
May I be allowed to say few words
about the much discussed site of the
Grant memorial? There has been so much
controversy and genuine distress. and so
much honest misunderstanding of the
subject that it seems as if word of
approval from the other side would not
come amiss. The people at large. with
their strenuous opposition, do not seem
to realize that this is only one feature
of vast scheme which is to be grad
ually unfolded. Granted that its loca-
ton and surroundings do not seem APP
propriate now-it does not follow they
will not become so. Rome was not built
in a day." neither can the plan for the
identifying of Washington" be accom-
plished in a day. These men, our park
commissioners, after diligent study and
consideration. have evolved a plan to
make our national city-dear to all of
us-unsurpassed In beauty by any city in
the country. perhaps in the whole world.
1t is our part to help them by holding
waiting patiently for the good results
which are sure to come. Just as private
interests and personal sentiments are
often obliged to give way to universal
lament the passing of historic trees and
historic houses-for that, too may come
later-still this should not stand in the
way of progress and the general good.
