FLUSHING THE STREETS.
Springfield, Ill, Prefers It to the Use
Of Sweepers.

1.-THE authorities of Springfield have de-
termined upon a new and effective method
of cleaning the streets that has been found
to work like charm" said B. C. Mccoy
of the Illinois city to Star man at the
Shoreham this morning. THE experiment
of flushing the streets by the use of the fire
department instead OF the old sweeping
method was tried some weeks ago. and 1t
would surprise you what a great improve
ment there has been Instead of the clouds
of dust that used to follow the sweeping
machines and envelop pedestrians and
wares exhibited on sidewalks there Is now
absolutely nothing but cleanliness. Then.
too the city authorities say that the flush
ing method. even taking into consideration
the cost of the water, is much cheaper
than the old system. The great benefit of
the new system viii be realized during the
coming summer when the streets will be
made much cooler by being flushed at sun
down every day. The water from the
fire plugs carries everything before Ii, and
all of the dirt and trash is washed into the
sewers, where the force Of the water car
ries 1t off and Goes away entirely with the
expense of hauling, which is in itself a big
item"

How the Moose wintered.

1.-THE Adirondack moose have wintered
splendidly despite the anxiety OF the
sportsmen over the heavy SHOWS that have
covered the mountains said F. B. Bronson
of Utica, N Y. to Star man at the Shore
ham. Those that were turned loose for
breeding purposes have been fed as much
as possible. but they have been able to
trample through the snow and get at the
little punches Of grass But whether be-
cause Of the difficulty In getting the fodder
or because it is their habit the moose have
not confined themselves to the grasses
under the snow, but have eaten the bark
of many young trees. They appear to have
preferred the birch, and many trees of
good size have been bent over by them.
and they have eaten the bark to a height OF
fifteen feet from the ground The moose
turned loose in the mountains have become
accustomed to their surroundings and show
not the slightest disposition to leave"

to be the first Of the kid in the United

1--WE are glad to see that the police of

am at a loss to understand why the 5ub-

reach, to great success during the past

nece ssa rily circumscribed. We close these
people out of business by process KNOWN
as the fraud order. which cannot be put

fraudulent to the writer's thereof where
known. and where the writers are unknown
to forward such letters to the dead letter
office The statute also provides for the
Withholding of payment of money orders
drawn in favor of such concern or persons
and the repayment of the amount expressed
therein to the remitters, and by subsequent
legislation the provisions of the act in ques-
ton were extended to ordinary letters
''It Is this act which places the depart
