HARTFORD CITY Ind, Nov. 2S-The re-
ports sent out from number of cities in
Indiana which are not in the gas belt but
depend on their gas supply coming from an
overtaxed pipe line forty or fifty miles in
length stating the gas pressure is declin-
ing and the supply is inadequate does the
gas belt cities an injustice. These towns are
what are called the ''pipestem'' gas towns.
Their supply of gas comes from the gas
field proper but usually the capacity of the
greedy foreign gas syndicate that furnishes
1t. and when the severe cold weather comes
all the valves turned wide open and the
shortage becomes noticeable. Another rea-
son for the shortage in cold weather is that
when it becomes intensely cold the water
which gets into the pipes freezes and in
some instances clogs the lines. Some gas
companies made the mistake of putting in
too small mains. and, the system being in
adequate, the patrons suffer People mme-
diately come to the conclusion that the gas
supply is weakening, and the special CORE
spondents of the pipestem towns send the
news broadcast. 1t is noticeable that all
side the gas belt. The reason the foreign
gas companies do not want to furnish the
factories in these towns with fuel Is be-
cause 1t is more profitable to dispose of it
to the private consumer. Hartford City has
two gas companies and the patrons of each
are we'll supplied with fuel at "a rate much
cheaper than any city in the gas belt, and
both concerns are making money

Mrs. Oscar Beringer's one-act drama, "A
Bit of Old Chelsea" which Mrs Fiske will
present at the Grand as a curtain raiser
this evening. presents a charming contrast
to Love Finds the Way" Marguerite Mer-
Tington's three-act play, which is the prn-
cipal play of the evening and another adj
mirable vehicle for the display of Mrs.
Fiske's genius. Mrs. Fiske and her com

De Belleville, will arrive to-day from Day.
ton. The Tess" matinee at the Grand to-
morrow will be her only performance of
that play here.
'Divorcons," which Mrs. Fiske is to pre-
sent at the Grand tomorrow night, is one
of the few works Of that great French
dramatist Sardou. which will live. Sardous
enormous output during his thirty odd years
of play making comprises comedies opera
libretti, fairy spectacles, historical dramas,
political satires, eighteenth-century farces,
thesic plays innumerable five-act dramas
of modern life, and, i'm these latter years,
a whole series of violent melodramas fitted
to the measure of one particular actress,
Sarah Bernheardt, several Of which Fanny
Davenport played in this country. Out Of
all these productions it is a question how
much will survive. Little, perhaps, besides
"Divorcons, which is described as gay
witty and brilliant a comedy as ever came
Sardou in his most spontaneous mood. The
story of the comedy is that of Cyprienne
the caDricious wife of Des Pruneles. who
imagines that she Is in love with Adhemar,
a young man of fashion. Des Prunelles
with the philosophy of years, good-hu-
moredly DretendS to accept the situation
and goes so far as to agree to allow his
wife a divorce that she may marry Adhe-
mar. The scene in which husband, wife
and lover come to an understanding is one
of the most delicious in the comedy. The
absurdity of the scene is made especially
ages. Cyprienne, released from her matri-
monial yoke, suddenly awakens to the fact
that she is deeply in love with her husband,
who is the best fellow in the world, and has
all along trusted to time TO bring his friv-
