OF OUR READERS

The Stars new Sextuple Press, the fast
est printing press in the world, is on the
road, and during the next week ten
days The Star asks its subscribers to bear
with it if papers are trifle late in arriv-

So, if your papers are trifle late occa-
sionally, we will appreciate your patience.
Remember that The Star is spending a
great many thousands of dollars for this
new equipment, and solely for the purpose
of giving you better service. II, therefore,
there is a small delay once in while, re-
member that it is only temporary, and dat

FINE WEATHER FOR MARCH A..
Capital Street-cleansrs Prepare for
a Blizzard Despite Forecast.

Despite the tact that the Weather
Bureau has promised Washington
clear and bright weather for insugu-
ration day, the street-cleaniug de-
partment CT the city proposes to be
prepared for a repetition OF the bliz
zard that marred the inauguration
four years ago.
A large force of men has been
thoroughly organized. Besides three
hundred men regularly employed, an
additional three hundred men will be
available should conditions make it
necessary to keep the line of march
free from snow. These men will be
held in readiness on the morning of
the parade.
They will be massed ne ar the begin
ming of the line of march and, if nee
essary, precede the marchers and
sweep the snow toward the side OF
the streets, at the same time brush
ing the cleared space as dry as pos
sibIe. The line of march this year is
nearly two miles long, and the entire
distance will be watched and kept
clean and free from all obstructions.
The isolation Of Washington, which
made the inauguration of President
Taft, four years ago, such memor-
able one, cannot occur this year, ac-
cording to information obtained from
the telephone and telegraph compa-
nies there. Within the last -four
years the companies have installed 6
complete underground system Of
wires that extends from the Capita
TO New York and Boston, through
