PEOPLES PALACE BATHS.
A Subscriber Wants to
Plunge, but Thinks
the Water Foul.
FILLED ONCE A WEEK.
Mr.. Wells Says Big Tanks Are
Never Filled 0ftener aud the
Water Is Clean.

A gentleman who has interested HIM
self Id the Peoples Palace work, aud has
given considerable money towards carry
ing this ~estimakle scheme to a successful
termination, has accustomed considerable
comment about the lower section of the
city. and at the same time general sur
prise by complaining OF the methods In
vogue in the temporary structure now
occupied by the association on Grand
street. The gentleman CAV literally to
support the work. believing that IL of
its advantages alone was sufficient to
warrant the support of every man and
woman in the city. The r~edeeming fea-
ture in his mind was the plunge bath.
Believing that fresh water was put in
the tubs every day, he decided to TAX a
~''plunge" one Afternoon last week. He we Mt
to the building on Grand street aud at
once made his way to the baths Before
making preparations to plunge. however,
he examined the water in the tubs and
made the discovery hat It was not as
clear or inviting as he thought 1t fought
to be. Feeling dissatisfied he summoned
an attendant aud asked '.Was this water
pampsd in these tubs todayf"
mo, sir" was the reply.
HERE'S FRUGAL1TY.
"Well, when was 1t put ln2" he con-
tinued.
Last Thursday" was the response,
and continuing. the attendant IN u smil-
ing manner said:-'Why it costs a dollar
and q half to MI those tubs. and we only
Eli them once u week"
The gentlemen changed his mind about
plugging, and determined that such Il pc
cuiinr state of affairs. # permitted to con-
tinue, Gusts a shadow over the bright fu-
ture of the Peoples Palace. He was
highly incensed ut the thought of econ
oiny standing, as he put II. In the way OF
decency and cleanliness.
MR. WELLS DENIAL.
superintendent Wells of the Peoples
Palace, when asked what the facts were
about the matter in the plunge baths, de-
MED most emplatically that such a con-
dition OF affairs existed.
'The tank is a large one" said he, and
the water looks black, but IT q glassful
of it is examined, 1t will he seen that 1t is
quite clear. Our tank is larger than the
one in the Windsor Hotel In New YorK,
aud that one costs $50, GOO. 1t Is true that
the tank is filed but once a week, but 1t
must be remembered that 1t takes consid-
erui4e time for us TO heat such a body OF
water. Ii the water looks dirty it is not
Our fault. 1t is the wnter people of Jer-
sey City drink. and If 1t is clean enough
to drink it certainly should he considered
Clean enough to wash in. Every person
before being permitted to use that plunge
itarh IL compelled to first take wash In
warm water and use plenty Of soap. The
only time the waiter was ever dirty was
wnen tile ceiling fell into The tank about
two week ago. The water in large
plunge baths is rarely changed more
than Once a week"

The above clipping was sent US from
Yates Center asking US il it was true.
We don't know the editor of the News,
but We propose him right now for pres
ident OF the Anthony Botkins Ananias
Club Of the State Kansas and believe
he would fill the position satisfactorily
to the combination. The meeting was
wholly and entirely of republican ORR
gin, advertised in their papers and on
their bills ~ such and Lewelling and
Simpson were not expected to be pres.
emit by either republicans or peoples
party men. It is only sample of how
low down gold bug editor has to get
in order to win the approval of his
bosses. Such statements are disgrace
and yet the collar brigade say "Stand
up for Kansas" and we have no doubt
but this specimen o, colossal mendacity
is one Of the biggest shouters of them
all. Clay Center must feel proud of
him.-Rice County Eagle.
