pal Plant.

HagerstoWn, Ind, Feb. 21.-The city
council has purchased the gas well and
the stock of the Citizens Natural Gas
Co. This purchase was made in order
that a saving might be made in oper-
alton Of the new electric light plant.
The well will be cleaned by r. r. Brant
and it is thought that sufficient gas
will be obtained to meet all demands
Of the plant. Should this move prove
successful it will result in quite saw
ing, not only in the installation of the
plant. but in the operation of the same
after completed. for it will not be nee
essary to purchase a gas producer,
which means the saving of a thousand
dollars or more to say nothing of the
coal that would be necessary to operate
the same.

Poor August Pons, chief driver of

ness in not bringing with them to New
York an extra cylinder and other parts
for repairs-units of the French-made
car that cannot be obtained in this

A flaw in the steel of the car caused
an irreparable break. The committee
would not listen to Pons' plea to com

RICHMOND DEFEATED
New Castle Won Over the Lo-
cal Aggregation Last
Night.
KICK ON THE MANAGEMENT

The Richmond polo team was de-
feated at New Castle last night by the
score of to ,. Richmond was Nan
dicapped by the little cramped up rink
which new Castle calls a coliseum.
The team has no other excuse to offer
for the defeat than that the referee
fouled Richmond repeatedly and re-
fused to allow MARKER to stand
which was Gagged by George Bayer who
played the last period with Richmond.
The team has a big kick coming,
however, on the way in which they
were treated by the New Castle man
agement. There could not be bigger
tight wad in the United States than the
man who manages the New Castle
team was the expression of one Of the
players today. 1t seems he did not
want to give the Richmond team ex-
pense money home over the traction
line, because the cost was just forty
one cents more than the charges by
rail. The Pennsylvania train does not
leave New Castle until four o'clock in
the morning, it is asserted, and the
team wished to come by traction as it
could arrive in Richmond at midnight.
Until the manager produced the inter
urban fare the team refused to go on
the floor. He wanted the local aggre-
cation to wait several hours for the
train to save the forty-one cents.

Heavily Armed Mob Is Checked
In st. Petersburg.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 21.-Attempts
that had been planned against the
lives of exalted personages were frus-
trated by the police last night by a
succession of arrests in various parts
Of the city, aggregating so men and
women. The majority of them were
heavily armed, some with bombs. and
they made desperate resistance
against the police. During the course
of the arrests three policemen were
wounded and one was killed. The OPP
erations centered around the palace
of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaie-
witch, who, it is surmised. was the
immediate object of the plot.

Enthusiasm Shown by Farmers.
Farmers seem to have caught the
fever of enthusiasm over the 10000
mile contest. AS soon as it was day
light today the Indianians turned out
to break the drifts for the Thomas
Flyer and even helped shovel the car
free when it bucked a particularly
long drift that sent the machine up
on the summit of a miniature snow
peak and shut off traction because the
wheels spun around in the air.

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

1t will come as a shock TO some read
ers to learn that one OF the most seri-
Gus occupations OF Il fifteenth century
wife was to protect her husband from
fieas.
Taking into consideration, however,
the horror with which the people OF
those days regarded cold water ana
clean clothes. it is not surprising to
learn that the question Of exterminat-
ing these insects made life a burden
Cleanliness was not only looked upon
as a dangerous custom, but positive
sin. The soul alone was regarded as
of any Importance, so that the neglect
of the body became so much virtue
that 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 a flask
continuing spirits of wine over the
hands of his majesty passed a comb
through his hair. thus completing his
toilet for the day.
In the seventeenth century, however,
cleanliness was carried to such an ex-
cess that an English dandy was ex-
pected to wash his face nearly every
day" So rapidly did the custom spread
that it was necessary to issue a solemn
warning that the practice of using wa
sight engenders tOothache and catarrh.
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
popular In the eighteenth century in
France than in England, this in spite
of the fact that water was forbidden
in the former country.
A lost art, according to NJ. Franklin
in La Civilite du XIII. au XIX. Sic
Gle" is that of blowing ones nose. To-
day 1t is more or less perfunCtory
necessity, but in the seventeenth cen
fury it was an accomplishment. One
person initiated the blast of a trumpet,
another the swearing of a cat. Posi-
bly, snuff taking, which was the fash
ionable habit Of that day, had some
thing to do with its accomplishments.
perfection in which consisted in max
ing neither too much nor too little
noise"
Another noteworthy fact on the Ell
Quette of those days is that nobody
ever knocked at the door. The correct
thing was to scratch softly with the
nail Of the finger, which the handles
of the day kept extremely long Ell
! quette was so right, in fact, that it is
said that the Duchesse de Montpensier
spent a quarter of her life in mental
torture as to whether different in6t-
viduals admitted to her presence were
entitled to sit on chairs with backs or
only on stools.
