Bore the Penalty of Others Sins.

We are notified through the columns of a
Bowling Green paper that the company that
punished our people under the name OF
Hankey & Scooley was not the company that
started from B. G. with young Hankey and
the younger Scooley at the rudder. The pa
per also claims that the actors at Napoleon's
night of horrors, secured some of Hankey
& Scooley's posters, ETC.. and we're thus en-
abled to successfully carry out the mlsrep.
resentation.
Incidentally we have found such to be
true, and that several joints in Toledo were
assessed heavily for histrionic (?) talent in
order to fill up the company. Napoleon
was one OF the first victims.

tail the whole of Bowling Green to run the

A SOCIAL SUCCESS.
NapoIeon's Young Ladies Entertain
Their Gentlemen Friends With a
Leap Year Ball.

Space, and viewing from financial
standpoint, compel that detailed descrip-
tions of many successful events, socially
andsotherwise. be eliminated. Such is the
case with the leap year ball given Friday
evening at the Pythian Hall by the young
ladies' Of Napoleon.
Looked toward to as the social event of
the season, the elaborate preparations and
skillful rendition of the program made it
doubly so; and when the last notes OF the
"home waltz" died away, flush Of success
and pride suffused the countenances of those
who had the project in hand. They were
amply compensated for their labor.
One hundred invitations were iseued and
with but few exec ptions were accepted.
The beautifully furnished hall was deco
rated-artistically well when you combine
the aestheticism of score of our young la
dies, the result it is hardly necessary to say
was place of beauty, which if it were pos
sible, enhanced the brilliancy of those as
sembled, especially the hostessess, for the
girls proved themselves the very best of en-
tertainers.
The original plan was to make it strictly
leap year ball and SO far as known it was
strictly adhered to. The ladies we're in COM
plete control and surely the general-like
way in which every thing moved off proved
beyond shadow if doubt that they, in
this line at least, were equal. if not superior

bers, just enough to satisfy Terpsichore an
admirers, and still retain their interest in
that lady for future occasions.
All of our young ladies are connoisseurs
in the dancing art, having attained de-
gree of perfection decidedly pleasing TO the
spectators as we'll as affording intense en-
joylneut to the participants. Placed in a
position where modesty did not prevent al

present appointed himself committee o.

congregated at the last strife.

mittee as also the two following nights it
took both the franchises and contracts, and
step by step discussed the feasibility of their
adoption. This thorough sitting of the merits
of the propositions was not satisfactorily
completed by Monday night, the time set
for the next meeting, and by common con-
sent council adjourned until next Monday.
By this date the committee is expected to
