The grounds set out are that the paper is not the last will; that if he ever executed it he was not im bis sound mind, possessing testamentary capacity, and it was executed under the jue imfuence of Mary A. Sunderland and her daughter, Jessie A. Sunderland. The estate was worth $200,000 in real estate and $20,000 in prrvonal property. and it is estimated that it has kince doubled in value.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Allow me through your paper to eall stten- tion to the carelessness of the party engaged in building « plumber shop on Rhode Island | hi avenue near 14th street in failing to remove from the public street a large quantity of broken brick, which nightly threatens to maim the limbs or crack the skull of some luckless bioycle rider who chances to pass that way. No light is displayed to warn the unwary, and the nearest gus lamp being some seventy-five feet distant? its illuminating capacity is of course unequal to the task of throwing light on this dangerous spot. Monday night as I was leisurely Proceeding homeward on my bicycle I suddenly land into what [ at first conceived to be a miniature d,and in my endeavors to extricate s thrown from my wheel, happily no msequences attending.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: . B. H. Warner's letter advocating the Tental tax and your editorial induce me to offer afew words in favor of single tax. An argu- ment for the justice of the single tax is that land values get all the benefit of government, and so should pay the expenses. The paving of stroets, water mains, police protection, the presence of a large population which is an expense to gov- ernment in numberless ways, the fire depart- ment, public schools, and the thousand and one benefits conferred by government make the building lots—improved of unimproved—vastly more valuable Jots in a smaller or more poorly governed city. But houses are not in- creased in value by these causes. Houses built forty years ago have not been increased in value by the improvements in the city. Lots have. Moreover, every man who erects @ house is beautifying the city and giving work to ite citi- zens, 80 he should be encouraged, not fined. Rovrxt J. Boxp. Asphalt Sidewalks and Trees. To the Editor of The Evening Star: There is a beautiful improvement going on between 14th street and Vermont avenue on K street, and when finished pedestrians will say, “What a lovely sidewalk!” But what will the owners of houses say a fer their beautiful trees are all gone, want of nourishment or blown down because their roots have been cutaway and destroyed? Where is the beautiful tree on the corner of 14th and K streets? Blown down use its roots were cut away. Look at the work going on now. Roots of four and six inches are cut away and there is little or no chance for the tree to gain nourishment. Now put down an asphalt pavement and death is certain, for little or no water can reach them. " I protest against asphalt pavements laid on our sidewalks as they (Les being lai on K street. Our brick walks are good enough. But as they have lately been laid on L street, with nearly the entire roots of the trees cut it is only @ question of time when the es will die.
