| 1.-THE ex-senator intends to renominate
John B. Stanchfield. I believe that Tam

| the only American whose life has been
| thus insured at Lloyds. London.
Street Cleaning Department Busy.
This is record-breaking year for the
street cleaning department. The series OF
| storms which eliminated in a deluge OF
snow rain and sleet, has already cost the
CITY more than half a million dollars.
! greater amount than has ever before been
| Maid for snow removal. The probabilities
| point to the colossal sum Of 100000, being
debited by Controller Grout to the account
| of the s'beautiful" The largest amount
| ever expended previously during one sea-
son for cleaning the streets of snow was
$4,000 by Col Waring o curing .ne 't m,s'
| Although the snowfall for that year was
mere in the aggregate than the amount
| which has yet fallen since January 1, Com.
/ missioner Waring had only the streets or
| Manhattan and the Bronx to look after.
| while Dr. woodbury's department has the
/ additional burden Of the Brooklyn thor

| Marriage Chapel in City Hall.
! In the city hall marriage chapel is to
be constructed. It will be a room with
! stained glass windows. gothic decorations
! and seats like church. This is Borough
| President Cantors idea, evolved from the
! controversy over the present ill-ventilated,
! noxious marriage bureau with it's outcrop
! Of scandals There is every prospect Of
compromise between the friends and oppo-
| nents Of this bureau. with the maria ge
chapel as the substantial result. If Mr..
Cantor's plan is followed throughout the
marriage chapel will be an official city in
stitution. The clerks and attendants win
be appointed by the city authorities and
paid by the city. Couples desiring a civil
marriage In the city hall will get 1t In this

| and clerks. Aldermen will off1ciate at these
marriages. but in q more formal way than

Novel Street Car Device.
There Is local inventor at work upon q
| device which, IL perfected, should prove OF
great convenience to surface car patrons
| So far the inventor is merely in the experi-
mental stage. and for obvious reasons does
| not care to make public the details Of his
plan. The purpose Of the device. however,
/ Is to record the name or number Of the
| crosstown streets upon dial block be-
| fore the car reaches the street. For in
| stance. when car reached seth street on
Columbus avenue. the figures on the dial
will read S7th street. and SO on The in
ventor believes that his device Is mechani-
| cally practicable. and that 1t is only q
Question Of time before 1t will be at least
/ on the market II not on the cars. In the
nameless condition of New York's streets
and avenues such contrfvance will save q
deal OF worry to the passengers who at
! present, to borrow a a-classical phrase, rub
ber In vain for their destinations.
