uncle objected to his marriage.
Tuesday night Ugarte announced his in-
tention Of leaving the hospital, and tele-

Before he left the hospital he told sew
eral attendants he had left the Willard

Court Instead of doing this. he left for
New York.
Ugarte is said to belong TO one Of the
most prominent families in Central

the close OF the revolution in Honduras,
about six months ago.
Dr. Francis HagneT, of 1925 n street
northwest. who attended Ugarte when he
was in the city, said last night he did not
believe Ugarte's condition was serious.
He was a hard-working young man,
said DR.. Haguer, "and nervous This
trouble may have been brought on by the
great strain he has had lately"

hardly ever attended church, and had a

personal effects have been tagged. and
that they must go only 10 those whose

Cleveland, Ohio. Jan. 16.-Concession to
Senator ForaSer's followers, made by
leaders of Secretary Taft's cause in Guy
ahoga County, backed by a threat of
Walter Brown, pro-Taft chairman of the
State Republican committee, to call on
that strong Taft body TO smooth ont the
Cuyahoga situation unless an agreement
was reached by noon to-day, resulted in
the making of a truce between the war
ring factions, in so far as the battle
involved the right TO issue a call for a
Presidential primary.

undoubted that suit TO enjoin the election

and unconstitutional, viii be brought
about The papers are prepared, and an
effort will be made to stop the State
wide test Of Presidential sentiment.
This agreement, reached this noon, after
Chairman Brown had conferred by long
distance telephone with Taft and Foraker
men here, in Columbus and other parts
of the State. is that the primary call
of the pro-Taft county Republican COM
mittee be recalled, together with the calls
of the Foraker mass convention, the pro-
Taft committee to issue another which
shall not be called in question ON the
score Of legality of its issuing body.
Concession Ia Foraker.
This call is to concede the Foraker point
Of the selection Of State convention dele
gates by districts instead Of by the county

plated. In this the Foraker men won.
And the Foraker men stiU have the

WHEN BATHS WERE RARE.
The Time When a Dandy Washed His
Face Nearly Every Day

Ii will come rs shock 10 some read
ers TO learn that one OF the most Seri-
Gus occupations Of 4 fifteenth century
wife was 10 protect her husband from
deaS.
Taking into consideration. however.
the horror with which the people OF
those days regarded cold water and
clean clothes. ii is not surprising 10
learn that the question of eXterminat-
ing these insects made life = burden.
Cleanliness was not only looked upon
as 4 dangerous custom. but positive
sin. The soul alone was regarded rs
Of any Importance, so thar the neglect
of the body became SO much 4 virtue
that 4 bath was only allowed in cases
of Illness. At any rate. water had no
place In the toilet OF the grand mo-
narQue. His valet after pouring 4 flask
containing spirits Of wine over the
hands Of his majesty passed 4 comb
through his hair. thus completing his
toilet for the day.
In the seventeenth century, however
cleanliness was carried 10 such an eX-
cess that an English dandy was ex-
pected 10 wash his face nearly every
day" SO rapidly did the custom spread
that il was necessary to issue 4 solemn
warning that the practice of using wa
ter for this purpose Injuries the eye

renders the complexion colorleSs and
makes the skin susceptible to cold in
the winter and heat in the summer"
Washing seems to have been more

Another noteworthy fact on the Ell

thing was to scratch softly with tn

OF the day kept extremely long. Et

Greater and Better Than Ever.

With everything new but the
name and title, the (New) Sun
Brothers Greater Progressive
Shows, will unfold their caravan
of novelties, trained animal won
ders and sensational displays, at
Berryville Friday, June 10. Com
plete performances will be offered,
both afternoon and night. and the
assurance is made by the manage
ment, that the latter performance
will be equally as complete as the
Matinee entertainment.
1t Is really the first good tented
show of the season, and the obquit-
uous Kid" and his curious sisters.
too, will be early on the scene TO
see the expectant elephant. The
show will arrive by special train
via the y. & W. Railroad. One
thing that particularly commends
the Sun Brothers Shows to the
public Is the fact, that no ticket
scalpers, gambling devices, roper
IN schemes or any suggestive ad-
Juncts are tolerated about the show.
The only way that you can spend
your money around this establish
mentis through legitimate channels.
Several detectives accompany the
Sun Brothers Shows on their
travels, and they know every crook
and thief of reputation in America.
consequently these questionable
gentry give the show grounds
wide berth. as they are locked up
on sight. Ladies and children can
safely attend either one of the per-
formance, without escorts. as
everything possible is done to look
after their careful wants. There
are courteous ushers to escort them
to the most eligible seats.
In the animal tent attentive
keepers and lecturers explain the
different attractions and animals.
and in fact from the humblest
canvas-man to the management. all
vie TO please their patrons.
At night time all Of the tents and
the entrances to show grounds are
brilliantly Illuminated with massive
Electro-Calcium generators. Good
lights are in evidence all over the
show lot, which fact alone makes it
worthy of visit to this show at
night time.

was in turn relieved by Dan Shep-

Galloway at third, each one of

was small, in spite of the fact that
the Band turned out to stir up

another game will be arranged
later, and that more time will be
given for advertising it, so that a
big crowd will turn out.

their trade in the rush. 1t seems
that there was usually crush

reported that pocket-books had

Good Roads and Land Values

Few papers are doing more TO
awaken and stimulate the interest
in good roads than the Fredericks-
burg Journal Already The
Times-Dispatch has had the pleas
ure of reprinting the intelligent
comments Of that paper on the
need of good roads. and we note
with interest its recent remarks on
this question.
There appeared in the The Times
Dispatch an Interview with n
wealthy New Yorker who came to
Richmond in his automobile, ex-
pecting to purchase home in
Virginia. After trying the roads,
however, the millionaire decided
that the Old Domonion was no
place for him. In one instance he
had to hire six mules TO pull his
machine out OF mud hole, and
that was within thirty miles of
Richmond. The Fredericksburg
Journal says of this:
