To the Editor of The Evening Star: As an old subscriber of your most val- uable and reliable paper, and.as one who has never before this occasion done himself the honor to address the éditor of a great daily, I may, perhaps, be allowed to say that the remarks you make anent the pas- sage by one branch of the legislature of Ohio of a bill making {t a misdemeanor for any woman to wear a hat in any place of public amusement, are calculated to mislead those of your readers who, like myself, rely implicitly on what you say. The theater hat may have been slightly wounded by The Star’s heavy thrusts, but it Is by no means dead, or even dying, as yet, as a friend of mine and [ discovered to our great discomfort only last Tuesday, March 24. We sat in row R, seats Nos. 7 and 9— that is, in the front row of the orchestra circle, and very nearly the middle of that row. From such a position you would nat- | urally suppose an uninterrupted view of the stage was assured. On the contrary, however, our enjoyment of the play was ely spoiled by two large hats imme- tely in front of us in row Hi of the or- hestra. These hats had large feathers, standing very erect and forming, as far as we were concerned, a perpetual and most aggravating act drop. In the row beyond these were three other large hats, and at Teast a dozen others beyond those, all hav- ing most irritatingly large feathers. Of course, all the persons who wore those hats may have been visitors from the rural districts, but the fact remains that they were there, and that they were an unmit!- gated nuisance to my friend and myself. Now, while I do not think the situation of such gravity as to warrant the passage of any such bill as the Ohio measure for ope- ration in Washington, yet I do think that the managers of our theaters should make such regulations as would remedy the evil —for the large hat in a theater is an evil, and one of the worst kind at that. Yours, faithfully, .D SUBSCRIBER. é ———— $1.25 (o Baltimore and Rétutil’ via Pennsylvania Railroa Tickets will be sold Saturda and Sun- March and 20th, ae vaila for Pecnen passage unt! londay, March 30th.

A formidable and earrest effort was made to extend 16th street from Florida avenue to the District line, by a meeting held last evening at the residence of ex-Senator John B. Henderson, composed of a few interested Property owners, through whose land this street will be projected. It was unanimous- ly agrced on the part of those having large holdings to donate to the District all the lands necessary for this street for a dis- tance of one-half its length, or 3!5 miles, Provided this Congress will appropriate sufficient money to grade and open up the street to the use of the public. Mr. James Elverson, Thomas Blagden, Mrs. Hender- son, Dr. Hendershot, John Saul and others agreed to this. It was suggested that 16th street ovght to be the first street extended, and for the following reasons: First. Because of its importance, leading as it does from the President's house due north to the District line, and penetrating a section of country possessing many nat- tral advantages and being without ade- quate street facilities. Second. More land wiJl be donated by owners for the purpose than has been su: gested as yet with reference to the extn- sion of any other street. Third. This is the natural and most di- rect way to reach Rock Creek Park, as the street forms the east boundary thereof for a distance of two or three miles, and this route should certainly be adopted at once in preference to the other indirect and cir- cuitous ways now suggested by some for enabling the public to enjoy the benefits which ought, but are not afforded, by the existence of the great park. Fourth. And perhaps the most important of all reasons is the necessity that exists fer additional means of access and egress for this great and rapidly growing city. Practically speaking all travel is now con- fined to two thoroughfares, 14th and 7th streets, and both of these roadways are Incumbered by street railroads, which, of course, consume much of the space. So that all of the pleasure-driving public in going to and from this city, and the cable ond electric cars and bicycles and immense teams with loads of hay, straw and weod from the rich agricultural district of Montgomery county are all forced in up- on these two strets. There is, of course,’ the Bladensburg rozd to the east, which does not help the public who desire a direct cutlet north of the city, and there is also the Connecticut avenue outlet, which is too far west to afford the desired demand for direct communication, so that it is claimed to be absolutely necessary that this 16th street shall be opened to the public, and particularly now, when it can be done un- der such favorable conditions. It was pro- Fesed that Congress shall not assess the cost of making the roadway upon the lands of these who have donated to the public the necessary land for the purpose of said street, and that it shall by a general ap- propriation purchase the land when it will not be donated, and assess the cost of making the roadway agains( abutting prop- erty. Among those present were Judge Andrew C. Bradley, Dr. Z. T. Sowers, Louis P. Shoe- maker, Gen. Ellis Spear, W. V. Cox, Augus- tus Bursdorf, Austin P. Brown, B. P. Davis, Charles Armes, assistant district attorney; H. Walbridge, John B. Hendersen, jr., John Saul, Judge Campbell, Dr. Hendershott, Dr. Jemison, Dr. Waters, Mr. Galen E. Green and T. A. Lambert. ——— In the British house of commons last evening Mr. Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, announced to the house that there was not an atom of founda- tion for the reports of the purchase by Great Britain of Delagoa bay and an addi- tional strip of territory. SPIRITUALISTS TO CELEBRATE. leeees Tomorrow the :Forty-Eighth Anni- versary ef the Rochester Rappings. Forty-eight: yearg ago the now-famous “Rochester rappings” marked the birth of modern spirityglism inthis country. To- Morrow: the mémbers of the’ First Asso- elation of Spiritualists of Washington, D. C., at present some 300 in number, ‘ will assemble at “Metzerott Hall to celebrate the forty-eighth: anniversary of that event. There will be thrdg sessions, one at 11:30, anotherat 2 and the last’ at 730 pm. At the morning agssign Mr. Milo C. Edson, president of thg local society, will formally open the anniversary meeting and will be fellowed by lectures by Mr. C. Wiggins cf Massachusetts, trance and test medium, and also by Mrs. Rolland and Mrs. Jaquet. Mr. Wiggins will also at this session give spirit tests. At the other sessions Mr. Wiggins will deliver lectures and give spirit tests. The anniversary lecture will be delivered by Mr. Wiggins at the 2 o'clock meeting. There will be music rendered at all of the -sessicns, including vocal selection’ by Mr. Homer Altemus. At this anniversary the officers of the association will outline the plan that has recently been formulated for the raising of a fund from contributions made by the spiritualists in the various states of the Union for the purpose of erecting in this city a national temple for spiritualists. ‘The idea is to make this building large and handsome, and to this end the work is to be carried on a national scal e project is a new one, only recently developed, and much interest is already taken in it by the spiritualists of the country. The Rochester reppirgs, of which this meeting is to be commemorativ2, were first heard and interpreted by two girls, Kate and Margaret Fox, of Hydesville, N. Y., the year 1848. ‘Picse sisters became "a: mous, and their e2.periences and declara- tions aroused the widest interest in the new belief.
