to Get Home.

NEW YORK. February 29.-James
Gowan. foreman of the car barns at ODD
street and I'd avenue. saw trolley car
whizzing up the avenue at full speed at
3 am yesterday. He knew that no car

started after the car, picking up Police
man Miller on the way.
At Tooth street it slowed down, and a
man alighted from the front platform
and strolled toward the house at 2450 Cd
avenue. Miller arrested the man before
he entered the house. At the East 10th
street police station he said he was John
Sweeney of the I'd avenue address.
In the Harlem court Miller charged
Sweeney with stealing trolley car
Magistrate House changed the charge to
disorderly conduct and fined Sweeney s..
Sweeney couldn't understand his arrest,
for, as he said, he had simply taken a
street car to get home quickly.

MAY BE "LIONLIKE."
Prof. CARROTS Prediction Regarding
Advent of March.

Advent of March.
"Will March come in like a lamb or a
lion tomorrow
The foregoing query was put to Prof.
Edward B. Garriott, official forecaster
of the weather bureau by a Star reporter
this afternoon. The reply of the weather
man was in effect that the entry of the
new month will be more lion like than
lamb-like.
:: 1T has been showing and raining both
north and south of the District of CO.
lumbia," he, said, ''and the indications
are that Washington will be visited to-
morrow by either fall o. snow or rain
but II is more likely to be snow. The area
of falling weather is coming slowly this
way from the west"
If the prediction of the weather bureau
Is verified. March will go out like a
lamb" according to the trite old adage,
and the bluebirds will whistle and flow
ers bloom sooner than usual, and an
early spring will follow.
March has a bad reputation in the fam
lily of months because of its freakishness
and the variety of mean weather it pro-
duces. The weather bureau has issued a
looking backward report, giving
weather conditions in March in the past
thirty-seven years. The warmest March
Is shown to have been in 1903, with an
average temperature of 80 degrees. The
coolest March was in 1855. with an aver
age temperature of "a degrees. The very
highest temperature recorded in thirty
seven years was % degrees-midsummer
heat-March % OF last year. The lowest
temperatures degrees above Zero-Oc-
Cured on March 4, 1873. The average rain
fall for the month is $50 inches The
greatest snowfall in any twenty-four con-
secutive hours. was 10 inches March Ii,
1900. The average number of clear days
for the month is nine, and the highest
wind velocity was forty-eight miles an
hour from the northwest, March "a, 1878.
