RIVER ITEMs.-The river, yesterday,
was full Of heavy Ice, interrupting, in fact
almost suspending navigation entirely.
The Express left for Parkersburg at her
usual hour, but 1t is extremely doubtful
about the Courier being able to stem the
current against the large masses Of ice
floating on It's surface. No assurance
could be given us last evening that she
would be at the landing this morning.
The Andes was due here last evening, but
at the hour no o'clock) OF the present
writing she has not made her appear
ance. Capt. Charley Muhleman will bring
her through II it be possible without en-.
dangering the lives Of his passengers, or
the loss Of his packet and her cargo
Several tows OF coal passed down yester.
day, and Notwithstanding the ice and cold,
the trip thus far had been attended with
no serious disaster. We heard Of one
barge being sunk at point few miles
up the river, wO could not ascertain,
definitely, where.

Police CoURT.-That venerable and
well.known firm, Smith and Jones front
name John, in each instance) were the
only parties before the police court, yes
terday morning. Both had been on q
drunk and Tor this offence they were ar
raigned. The testimony against them was
clear and direct, as 1t almost always is in
such cases, and they were fined two dol
lars each and costs Neither were pres.
ent, we believe, during the trial, but we
understood that they had made arrange
ments, previous to the assembling Of the
court, t. have the charges paid, whatever
they might be.

TE".-This drama, written by one
OF the gentlemen who took part in It's
presentation last evening at Catholic IL
stitute Hall, was produced for the first
time we believe, at the place and on the
date mentioned. The hall was comfor.
tably filled and the audience testified
their appreciation Of the merits of the
play and the ability Of the amateur com.
pany, by frequent and hearty applause.
"Rascally Pat" as the aiterpiece, brought
down the house. The young gentlemen
who sustained characters in both plays
acquitted themselves creditably, and
would suffer no disparagement in com.
parison with many of the professional
companies travelling over the country.
The programme, by request, will be re-
peated tonight, with change Of interlude.
Ned Galligan will sing song or two as
he only can do it. Go early If you would
secure an eligible seat, or a seat at all, in
fact, if the enthusiasm created last night
is any indication Of the rush there will be
for admission this evening.

menced at Harding's Music Store, yester-

be found on inspection to be flrst.claSs.
The selections are very fine, and we feel
confident their rendition will be cores
pondingIy superb.
We are gratified to hear that number
Of membership tickets were taken, yester.
day. We believe those who enrolled
themselves as members OF the Institute
will never regret the step, and We would
urge on all our lady and gentleman read
ers TO Ego and do likewise" We ought TO
have Musical Institute In this city num-
bering hundreds. No city can boast Of 8
larger proportion of its population having
decided musical talent than Wheeling,
and this Institute is just the organization
to develope and cultivate It. We hope
to hear Of yet larger additions to the
membership OF this highly meritorious
tociety.

Tuesday, or the Tuesday following Quin-
quagesima Sunday, and preceding the
first day of Lent, or Ash Wednesday. 1t
was formerly customary in England, on
this day, for the people to confess their

after which they dined on pancakes or
fritters. The bell rung on this day is
vulgarly called pancake bell, and the day
itself, Pancaks Tuesday. The French

with rice, were reduced to splinters, and
their contents scattered in all directions.

Sarcastic Reply.

When Jenny Lind was in this
country, she once attended the
Bethel church, in Boston, where the
well remembered Father TAYLOR
was pastor. The good man, who
did not know that she was present.
was requested, as he entered the
house, to preach on amusements.
The church was crowded, and the
pulpit stairs were filed. The SER

. glowing tribute to the power of
song, and to the goodness, ,modesty.
and charity Of the sweetest Of ali
singers, s.now lighted on these
shores Jenny Lind was leaning
forward, and clapping her hands
with delight, when a tai person
rose on the pulpit stairs, and in
quired whether any one who died
at one Of Miss Lind's concerts

In an old Pennsylvania town,
where they voted the Democratic
ticket sound ESQ the story goes] in
1868, the experiment was made Of
putting q Republican ticket IN the
field. A Mr.. Greene was the can
didate selected, but by reason Of
sickness he was unable to go to the
polls on election day. When the
returns were published Mr.. Greene
had but one vote.
Chagrined at this, and annoyed
by the accusation that he had voted
for himself, he announced that If
the person who had voted for him
would come forward and make an
affidavit to the facts, he would re-
ward him with q suit of clothes.

The FaIlcn Oncs.

A letter from a fallen woman,
published first in the st. Louis
Democrat, is printed on this page
She strikes at the heart Of the
trouble in the whole social evil
problem when she says that society
gives little help to the ssinnocent
and poor girls who work like slaves
for mere pittance, with no hope
of change, except in marriage or .
life of shame. II society would
be good to those who are likely to
fall, and forgiving to those who
have fallen, the whole question
would be solved. It is one of the
rare things of common life TO find
a woman who is vile from her own
desire. Even in the lowest dens of
prostitution there are fcw that
would not return to virtue if the
way was open. But the way is for
ever closed. They have passed q
portal over which has been written
Dante's inscription upon the gates
of hell. They live beyond the reach
of mercy, where hope is dead
Some sinned for loves sake, some
for LIES saka aadseens ssntonly,
not knowing tbs na9n q thsix
transgression, but Che SIN Is In an
cases the one which society will not
pardon nor forget.
This is as it should be-" say the
severe moralist; sslet those who are
coming on know the deep damna :
ton that belongs to this SIM" Bet
ter than this to kill the transgres-
sors as some of the savage tribes
do. It would be the more merciful
thing.
Christ taught better lesson
ssLet him who is without sin cast
the first stone
During one Of the stormy days
of last week young woman, appa-
rently not more than seventeen
years Of age, carrying a little wan
baby, applied at a house on Fifth
street to beg the lady of the house
to take the child. Il am not mar
ried, . said the girl. II have done
wrong" 'sBut why do you want to
part with your child!" asked the
lady. "Don't you love your childa'
sizes" said the girl, breaking down
and sobbing as if her heart would
break. 81 would give my life for
my child, but the woman that ]
/ work for says that I must get rid
of the baby or get another place,
and I can't get another place The
lady could not take the child, and
the girl went away in the storm,
facing a hopeless lite, and bearing a
stain never to be wiped ont this
side of the grave.
Society should be more forgiving
to the fallen women, or more severe
upon the authors of their misfor-
tune and upon the sharers of their
sins. IF it must be severe, let it al
least be just.-Inter Ocean.

Death of a Noted Woman.

One of the strangest careers of
modern times has just terminated
in the death of Lady Ellenborough
at Damascus. Forty years ago she
was one OF the most noted women
in Europe, and her residence in the
East has long been a sort of scan
dalous romance. The daughter of
the late Admiral Sir Henry Digby,
beautiful, witty, and rich, she mar
ried in 1924 the Earl of Ellenbor
ough, who was afterward Governor
General of India, and who at that
time was one of the most brilliant
men of the day. She was about
seventeen years of age at the time
of her marriage, and Peterborough,
who was widower, was thirty four.
They lived together some six years,
and her dissolute conduct was a
cause of scandal for some time pre-
vious to the catastrophe of her
elopement with Prince Felix Schwar-
zenberg, a celebrated RouE, then
Austrian Minister in London. The
event caused an immense sensation
in the world of aristocracy and
fashion. marlborough procured q
divorce from Parliament and never
married again; but his runaway
wife soon separated from Schwar-
zenberg, and in 1882 married Bar
on Vennigen, a Bavarian. firing
of him presently, and with her great
wealth and personal fascinations
having little difficulty in procuring
divorces under the easy laws Of
Germany, she was married in sue
cession to five other individuals
but as none of these unions met hel
expectations, they were all dissolv-
ed after a short duration In 184s
she was living in Athens with hel
eighth husband, q Greek colonel
Count Theodoki; but without wait
