STEUBENvILLE. o., February IA little
breeze, growing out of the presentation Of
the Pirates of PenZance,n on Friday, Sat
urday and Monday evenings, under the
auspices Of St. Paurs Church, was stirred
up this week. The persons who TOOK par'
ia the entertainment gave their services
gratis. Several Of them belonged 10 the
choirs of other churches, and when IL was
raised abroad that one man, member oil
ST. PauIs choir, had been paid, the others
became indignant and several OF them DE,
clared that if such was the case they woulo
never again appear on the stage Tor the
benefit of ST. Paul's Church. THIS started
an inquiry into the matter, when IL was
learned that the party who had be remun-
Grated had taken advantage OF the manage
ment by waiting until short time before the
date fixed for the entertainment 10 come
off, and then going to them with the an,
nouncement that unless he was paid
twenty-five dollars he would not take the
character to which he was assigned. IL
was too late for anyone else TO learn the
part and the management was forced 70
accede to his demands. This explanation
appeased the WI ath OF the other members
of the company, but as the fellow who
played the smart game heretofore has
stood well in society he is likely TO lose
caste and will hereafter be remembered
for 1t. He gained in dollars, but may lose
moro than that amount in social dis
tinction. Others who took part in the
opera are paid for singing in church choirs,
while the party in question IS not ana the
general feeling is If they could AFFORD TO
donate their services he ought 10 do so too.
