TEUBENVILLE

SrEUBEyNILLp, May l3.-Figuratively
speaking. the good temperance ladies OF
Steubenville are lndulging In a hair-pull-
ing. There are two organizations OF the
w. c. 7. u. here. One was organized 10
1874 during tue crusade, while The other is
of recent date. One Of the peculiar feat
ures about the matter is that the old or
ganization is now represented oy compare
lively newcomers 10 Steuoenville. while
the new oneis composed mainly OF the old
standbys. The old organization, relying
on its age and the work done by II, mas
never taken any steps toward Identifying
itself with the State w. Z. L: W. Whlle
the members of the new organization nave
individually signed the State constitution
and pledge and claims that the old Is not a
legal organization because the members
have not done so, as required by the State
laws. Mrs. Clara B. Hoffman. OF Missouri,
was brought here by the organization and
on Sunday delivered two ad,
dresses in the Opera House and
ouei In the rooms Of the Y. M. c. A. The
new organization did not attend any OF
these organizations in a body. but did at
tend a meeting in the Fifth Street NJ. r.
Church Monday night, when a lively time
ensued, Miss Julia Galloway taking up the
cudgal for the new society and succeeded
in holding up its end in IA very effective
manner. The general impression is that
Mrs. Hoffman was brought here with the
idea of getting up enthusiasm, so a crusade
could be i%naugurated against the dives and
liquor saloons Of this city, but since the
good ladies have begun lighting among
themselves this object may be defeated.
