Thu Grin noom Abolished.

The storm OF criticism OF the action Of
the members Of the faculty of Princeton
theological seminary, in signing the petit
ton for a license to sell Intoxicating
liquors at Princeton inn, has resulted in
the decision OF the directors OF the inn to
abolish the grill room. This resolution,
It Is said. IS but the forerunner of the
closing OF the inn itself. which Is not sur
prislng, in view Of the fact that the prin-
cipal source OF rccenuc was the grill
room.
Since the establishment of the Inn It
has been the cause of bitter attacks from
the press and pulpit, and has been the
source Of considerable dissatisfaction in
the Presbyterian church. The plan was
rcsorted to In the hope that tho inn. prop
erly conducted, and the sale OF liquors
INDUCED IN under limitations, would
serve to wean the wilder class OF young
men attending the college from the pat
ronage OF the saloons Of the city, and eX-
ercise wholesome influence upon them
in the direction OF more temperate living.
1t was a novel experiment for men
havlns an interest in the welfare OF a
theological institution 10 undertake. and
the conservative public was willing 20
withhold criticism unit it should have a
fair trial. What the ultimate result Of
the test would have been 1t Is impossible
to say, since the series OF attacks that
were made upon it has brought about the
decision to abandon the idea.
Had the scheme been carried out in
spite of these criticisms 1t Is probable
that much damage would have resulted
10 the great institution of learning in the
way of loss OF attendance. usefulness and
influence. 1t is probable that It will be a
hong while before the heads OF another
theological institution Of learning lend
the weight of their endorsement to 4
similar experiment.

The deathot William r. Allison, OF the
Ohio Press, at his home in steubenvllle,
Ohio, yesterday removes one OF the most
prominent Journalistic characters Of the
country. The greater part OF his work
was done in Eastern Ohio, mainly In the
city OF steubcnville, with an Interim OF a
few years in st. Louis. He was man OF
sterling integrity and pronounced con-
rlcslons, one who left his impress on
every community he was identified with.
and hocommanded the respect OF every
one. even challenging the admiration OF
his political enemies. Meeting with many
mlsfortuncs in his long career he met
them bravely and overcame them. In
his passing away steubenvllle loses q
distinguished citizen, and there are many
of his trends in Wheeling who will pay
his memory more than the passing trib-
ute OF n sigh.

as rumor IN the rural districts OF Jack

porter was sent to Ripley yesterday af-

down, only to find it untrue. It was not
