STEUBENvILLE, Ohio, Feb. IA
Lurad by the glare of theatrical life,
two stage-struck young maidens left
their homes in Parkersburg. W. Va.
last week, and came to steubenville
In hopes of making their stage debut
on the local boards. By this time
they have found that the life OF an
artist is not what is It cracked up to
be, and they have decided to make a
break for home.
The young ladies, giving their
names as Anna May and Lillian Star.
lett, the first eighteen and the latter
but a tribe nor advanced in years
appeared at the National vaudeville
theater Saturday. They graciously
stated that they could sing and dance.
had taken part in several home tai
ents IN Parkersburg and Just knew
they would make a hit. The manager
promised to give them a chance on
Friday night, when the stage is open
to all persons, and the young women
have remained over to make their first
appearance in public. They will
hardly stay, as they have seen all they
want of theatrical life and now long
for home.
Their relatives have been alarmed
over their disappearance. and finally
locating them here wired them 10

tremendously and with less secta-

Pennington, or he would not have
arrogated to his inspiring presence
altogether the success of not only
getting the general church people
nearer together, but even the Yam
kee and Dixie Methodists, preach q.
ers and politicians. :"
Gross eXaggeration of facts does
not help any cause, and this is a
lesson which DR.. PalmOre, with all
his learning and in all his travels
has failed to grasp. In the liquor
traffic the simple facts are bad
enough, and it is great mistake
in any one who has the good of
the cause of temperance at heart to
eXaggerate conditions to the preju-
dice of any community as an ear.

PALMORE'S PRODDING =.

DR.. W. b. Palmore delivered a
sermon and two temperance leo
lures in Pennington on Sunday,
September Doth, mention of which
was made in THE ITEMS last week.
DR.. Palmore is churchman of
recognized ability. in whom one
would expect to find the elements
of fairness, devoid of hyperbole,
exaggeration and misrepresenta-
ton, and we confess to great sur.
prise at the manner in which he
has deemed it eXpedient to write of
Pennington and st. Francois coun-
ty in an editorial correspondence
to the Christian Advocate, Of which
he is the editor. In this remarka-
BILE correspondence he says:
Madison comfy in which is Frcder-
icktown and our prosperous Marvin In.
etitute, has been without saloons long
enough to demonstrate how much more
prosperous a county can be without
them. The northern border OF Madison
is being desperately and disgracefully
debauched by the many enormous sa'
looms in Pennington, the county seat OF
ST. Francois county. The roads leading
out of Pennington are so disgraced by
drunken, spewing, cursing falling and
helpless men that the best people, see
ing that Fredericktown, West Plains
and other county seats are prospecting
so without saloons, have determined to
make a desperate and herculean attempt
TO throw off this horrible incubus, which
is doing more for the destruction of the
people than all the Pennington church
es are doing for their salvation"
Exaggeration, not to say mlsrep-
resentation, of facts and conditions
could go but little farther. The
people of Madison county must be
eager to be debauched if they join

With the penchant of a dictator
President Roosevelt has stumbled
into another blunder, In the pro
cession Of steamboats, conveying
the President, Governors and dele
gates to the Deep Waterways Con-
vention at Memphis last week, the
steamer carrying the President OF
course had the place of honor at
the front, aud the steamer Alton
had the honor of following next d,
1t seems that the officers Of some Of
the steamers engaged in n little
river jockeying to try to wrest
from the Alton its position next 10
the.President's boat. In this little
by-play the maneuvering OF the
Fred Hartweg, carrying the Pitts
burg delegation, was perhaps some
what more strenuous and daring in
its movements than the others, and
while no accident occurred one
might have taken place. President
Roosevelt, ever ready to assert au-
thority whether sure of his posi-
ton or not, wired the Supervisor OF
inspections Of Vessels at Evansville
ordering the immediate and perem-
tory suspension Of the license Of
the MASTER of the Fred lIartweg,
expressing the wish that this be
done by telegraph, wherever the
boat might be. But this is not
Russia and Mr.. Roosevelt is not
Gar. 1t turns out that there is a
law regulating the suspension of a
steamboats, master or pilot on II
charge of misconduct, and that
neither the President nor any other
authority can suspend or revoke
his license without an investigation
and trial by due process of law.
The incident gives another insight
to President Roosevelt's character
and what tyrant he would be il
not held in check by wholesome
and restraining laws.

GETS AFTER O'CONNOR
Correspondent Tells About Some
 Landmarks He Missed.

The article in the Democrat the other day from T. P. O'Connor call ing attention to the Ass Head sign in London and the item later referring to the Boar's Head over the entrance to prominent cafe in England were responsible for fhe following com munication from q gentleman who doesn't appear to care very much to have such animals in close proximity to hostelries, and it seems, too, from what he says about T. F. O'Connor, that he is not dead in love with T. F. O., either But that is another mat ter. Here is what he has to say:
 Waterbury, Conn, Dec 10, 1907, Editor of the Democrat,
 Dear Sir:-Anybody who has travel ed through Ireland, and especially in the counties of .Leinster and Munster, must have visited one or more of the famous inns in those places and also noticed the peculiar signs over the doorways. For "The Ship" in Abbey street, Dublin, which has been in posi- tion since 1492, marking the date of the discovery of America by Colum- bus, and the ever famous Hole in the Wall' in John street, Kilkenny, the meeting place of the Irish rebels, as our friends, the enemy across the channel, were pleased to term the patriots of ancient as well as modern times in Ireland. It was thither that the well known Brennan, immortaliz- ed in the song entitled Brennan on the MoOr," and many of his compat- riots repaired and were finally cap tured by the English troops.
 Smother well known landmark is 'The Fighting Cocks" in Carlow, so called because cock fighting was a favorite pastime for generations in that immediate neighborhood. Then there is ''The Horse and Jockey" in Tipperary and ''The Plough" in Kings county. I might also mention The Pike" and "The Bleeding Horse" in Queens county, the former about four miles from Abbeyleix, and the lat ter near Stradbally. "The Pike" de- rives it's name from the large number of weapons of that kind made by the blacksmitbs of that neighborhood for the Irish rebels in the rebellion of '9S. Other prominent inns include such quaint names as "The Anvil" "The Harrow" 'The Bellows" "The Key" 'The Fox and Hounds" "The Wild Geese" 'The Camans," "The Round Tower" ''The Wolf Dog" 'The Shamrock" and so forth, all well known to the traveller and each having quite an interesting history.
 "TO be sure, T. P. OConnor is so anglicized that he can only write about boars and asses heads for per fidious Albion.
 Hoping I have not trespassed too far on your valuable space, remain,
 Yours very truly,
 TRAVELLER"
