Municipal Cleanliness.
From the Springfield Union.

From the Springfield Union.
The street commissioner of New York
says: Some day the people are going to
wake up. and things won't be thrown in
the street" But things will be thrown
into the street in every city just SO long
as cities do not provide receptacles at con-
venient places to receive the stuff. Waste
cans on the curbing do not appeal to one S
esthetic taste. but they serve very use
full purpose, as Berlin and other progress
sive European cities have found out.
They keep a considerable quantity of
waste paper. fruit skins and other things
from litterfng up the streets. Some
American cities provide these waste cans.
and 1t Is surprising the amount Of rubbish
they collect in the course of a day that
otherwise would have been thrown into
the street to make additional work for the
sweepers. In Berlin they have perfected
a system Of collecting the rubbish in these
cans SO as not to strew it along the
street, as is sometimes done with the
scavenger wagons in use In Springfield
and other places. In Berlin covered carts
empty the cans automatically and prevent
the contents being blown about And this
Is only one Of many things that European
cities do better than American cities, yet
over there they do not boast of their won
derful progressiveness. We are just be-
ginning to learn some important lessons
In regard to municipal cleanliness.

Telegrapher's Cramp.
From the Dundee Advertiser.

From the Dundee Advertiser.
An interesting feature of telegrapher' S
cramp is that certain letters are nearly
always the stumbling block. The most
frequent are c and Y-that is, the code
signals used for these letters. When a
sender begins to be conscious" about SO
common a letter as his case soon be-
comes hopeless.
Another form of cramp attacks the re-
ceiver OF the message. 1t takes the form
Of inability to write fast enough to take
down u message quickly transmitted. This
is easily understood when it is remember
ed that a receiver often has to write con-
tinuousy to code dictation. SO to speak
for hours at time. The strain involved
is enormous and leads fairly commonly
to what is practically form Of nervous
breakdown. ---, .-------> -

CAN'T GUESS MONTH OF MARCH
THAT'S ABOUT ALL WEATHER
MAN HAS TO SAY.
Unexpected Storm Came, Went
Away and Then Came Back
With a Vengeance.

Up at the weather bureau, on 2lth
street. the telephone bells were kept
jinging all the forenoon. Some of the
callers were irate and used language more
expressive than polite. One man wanted
to know what brand OF Internal weather
the prophets had served out to the visit
ing thousands.
To all interrogatories Prof. Garriott re-
piled that the forecasters had tried to ac-
curately forecast the conditions for today.
But it SEEMS he added, that about
every four years the forecast is bound to
go wrong. We used our best judgment
in making the prediction yesterday. but
the fickleness and utter unreliability OF
the month Of March were against us.
He explained that the storm which
swept over the city was totally unex-
pected and unheralded yesterday fore
noon. The disturbance came from the
northwest. 1t was central over Ohio yes
terElay and passed OFF the New Jersey
coast last evening That seemed to settle
it, but, like a boomerang, ii came whack-
ing backward, bringing snow, rain, ice
and cold winds in its train.
Storm Apparently Local.

meteoroogy that the best of us cannot

The barometer has been rising since 4
O'Clock this morning. it was stated. with
the proba ability that there would be clear
ing weather by the time the big parade
started from the Capitol. In any event,
the streets must be coated with slush.
The storm was central this morning over
Long Island. Telegraphic weather re
ports were slow in coming in today. owins
to the clinging snow, which put many
wires out OF commission.
Forecaster Garriott predicted fair
Weather for tonight and tomorrow. and
temperature about the same as today.
A Wild Day and Night.
The utter fickleness of March was il
Iustrated by the mixed and varying
conditions that have prevailed here
since yesterday morning, when 1t was
springlike. Then the skies became
clouded and at 1 o'clock it rained. The
sun came out smilingly about Lac
o'clock yesterday afternoon. and anna
teur weather prophets, in common with
the official forecasters. predicted fine
weather for today. Rain commenced
falling again about 4 o'clock and con-
tinued, coming down in chilling tor
rents until o'clock last evening. Then
there was a letup. and a few minutes
after 8 o'clock rain and snow in com
bination came down Then the condi
tions became turbulent. Next, toward
midnight, blizzard conditions set in. and
there was heavy fall of snow. The
wind blew in marrow-chilling blasts
from the northwest. and at daybreak
this morning the picture presented was
indeed cheerless. Snow covered the
ground to a depth of several inches. and
the northwest gale fairly howied
blowing the snow particles with cut
ting velocity into the faces of pedes-
trians
The snow was still falling at noon
today.

THE REGULATION OF MAR,
 RIAGES.

Marriage regulation has long been a pet idea of theorists. But for the first time. so far as We know. strict regulations have been imposed by the state in the new criminal code of th, state of Washington which went into effect a few days ago.
 This law provides that no woman rnder the age of +5 years or no man or any age except that he marry a woman over I5, either of whom is a common druuEard, habitual criminal Neak-miudcd. afflicted with pulmou. ary tuberculosis in it's advanced stages, or ycuereal disease, nay mar gy within the state of Washington, County auditors are required to have affidavits from licensed physicians and attestcd to by one witness that the contracting parties do not violate the above restrictions. Otherwise ;hey are not permitted to issue Ii censcs. False statements made in nis connection are considered per Jury and will be prosecuted.
 This law is certainly step in the ! ght direction. Tuberculosis and ccr tain ycncrcal diseases are without question transmittd by heredity and .t $ no less than a crime to bring diseased children into the world. The statistics of crime prove without doubt that the children of crimin- als are pre-disposcd to crime.
 Society in sclI-protectiou and iu jasrice ,o the unborn child has the right to prevent the marriage of th, CT minal and diseased.
 may seem to work an individual hardship occasionally, but there can be no argument against the ultimate hcu''t of such marriage regulations.
