The picture will, however. excite no

Though other communities had been

Mr.. Crutchett, however. succeeded
in securing an appropriation OF ST.
300 I'm the act OF March 3, lS47, by
which the secretary OF the senate and
clerk of the house were directed TO
contract with him for lighting the
building and grounds with solar gas.
OF that sum Mr. Crutchett expended
$4,000 that year and the year follow
ing the remainder. with a further sum
OF $4,000, and later nearly $4,000 for
extra work. With this aid he en-
larged his works. introduced gas in
the building and placed on the dome
an SO-foot mast and lantern by
which the grounds and much OF the
surrounding city were well lighted.
The light could be seen many miles
down the river and SO well lighted the
city that some old citizens can recall
that as far west as Twelfth street
they could tell the time by watch
1t was during the time that the Ian.
tern was on the dome that eX-Presi-
dent John Quincy Adams was strick-
tives and died. The capitol was
draped in mourning and a piece of
black bunting placed around the Ian
tern. a few days later it was loosened
by the winds and gave the appearance
of black flag, but 1t was not allowed
to remain there long.
BY the act of July 6, 1913, the
Washington Gas Light comDany was
incorporated with a capital of $50. 900.
the following being the incorporators:
Col. b. b. French, then clerk of the
house Of representatives; John f.
Callan, Jacob Bigelow, w. II. Harr.

w. IL. English. That the company
was soon organized and furnishing

made to pay il for lighting the CAPT.
tol and grounds to August 81; of ST.
600 for laying pipes. erection OF lamps
and posts, etc, in the capitol grounds.
and $4,000 for laying pipes and fur
nishing 100 lamps on the avenue be
tween the capitol and Fifteenth street.
The first appropriation was expended
at once, the second i'm lS49 and 1850.
and the third in 1S49 Thus oil and
tallow were relegated to the past and
Illuminating gas was introduced to
the Washington public.

The Sells FlotO Show.

A sudden dOwnpour of rain or
Q long continued drizzle will have
no effect on the patrons of the
great Sells-Floto Shows when it
exhibits here. The reason of
this will be apparent to everyone
who sees the huge tents that will
be erected here for the perfor-
nance. They are all constructed
of ''mercerized" ducking. This
marvellous invention for the
waterproofing of material has
been in use for rain coats. but
up to this year has never been
used for tents. People who have
used "mercerized" cloth know
how it sheds water, and it was
the knowledge of this that caus-
ed the Sells Floto shows to have
all taeir tents made out of this
material. 1t is quite a stride in
advance of other shows, but is
only in keeping with the pro-
gressiveness OF the management
of these shows. Beneath these
tents spectators can sit in com
fort and ease during the heaviest
of rains and be as dry as if in
/ the finest theatre in the country.
This is only one of the many
novelties that have been added to
! these shows this season.
It is respectfully suggested
the children attend the afternoon
exhibition, where ample time is
given: to view the large menag-
erie, likewise avoiding the night
crowds. uniformed ushers
will attend every want of the lit
tie folks and the care and atten-
ton paid to ladies and children
is the first consideration of the
management.
The first big circus that will
visit Lafayette this year is the
Sells F1oto, and the date is
