Dublin Greatly Excited Over
Moral Aspect of Shows, That
Are Shown Without Censor

ished the legitimate drama from the
Dublin stage. The costumes are often
very SCauty and the songs and busl-
ness sometimes beyond tho border
line of the decent. Lately in the
newspapers vigorous protests were
made by individuals The MANAGE
Of one of the leading houses expressed
lis willingness to remove everything
considered Objectionable, and Incl
centally revealed the fact that the
first performance in each week was
in the nature of a trial trip. If the
public on which il was tried stood II
without protest it went on all the
week. This has now been remedicd
and the trial trip takes place in
camera before "A management COM
mittee, who will be responsible tor
seeing that even a first-night audi
encc is properly protected.
Archbishop Walsh in declaring his
satisfaction at this improved arrange
mcnt, called attention publicly to
what Is even q greater scandal, be-
cause more widespread, and that is
the posters on the walls advertising
these revues. They have been often
exceedingly free, and there seems to
be no authority charged with the duty
Of controlling them. Altogether,
puDllC leellnb Is BOOu uedl aroused
in Dublin on these questions. Jack
Johnson, who appeared as the pro-
ducer Of revue, no worse than many
others, experienced its effect on the
first night Of his performance. and
the audience insisted on the removal
of its Objectionable features He did
not resent this in the least, but mild
ly thanked his patrons for letting
him know their views so promptly
and Enthusiastically.

forth that the union Of drug clerks

II is estimated that tho hundred

alcohol since the ant-liquor edict

DUBLIN, Ireland, Nov. 20.-Dublin
Is at present greatly exercised about
the morality Of its theatcrs, music
halls and moving picture shows.
There is no censor in Ireland and the
only way of punishing imprOpriety on
the stage is by a police court prose-
Cution. No such prosecution has been
instituted, and the only occasions
when tho police court discusses the
matter is when a member of the au-
Gience is prosecuted for disturbing the
performance by expressing his ais
approval
one such case has Just occurred
where a man was brought before the
magistrate for protesting at the eN-
hibition Of a film called THE New
Naedalen". The evidence of some In
fluential citizens was given as to its
Objectionable character, balanced by
the evidence of other members Of the
audience, including some ladies that
Il was all right. The magistrate
thought it would require a Solomon
to decide between the witnesses and
determined to be his own witness. A
special exhibition was given all to
himself. He did not see anything
wrong with the film, and the defeno-
ant then alleged that the performanIe
for the magistrate was fake, and
that he did not see the same film.
This suggestion was secuted out Of
court and the defendant was fined
and has served notice Of appeal.
Rcyues Cause Comment.
1t is, however, the revues which
have provoked most agitation. They
run at several theaters, including the
principal ones, and have almost BAN

MAN.

CALCUTTA, India, Nov. 20
Tho forgery Of blind mans
thumb print has just been the
subject OF protracted litigation
in the high court at Madras for
the first time, it said, in legal his
tory. A merchant asked for
judgment against the blind man,
supporting his application with
a document signed with the al
legged thumb print Of tho debtor.
The latter repudiated the papel,
declaring that the plaintiff had
travelled in train with him, and
whilo pretending to massage his
fingers, had taken his thumb Inn
preston and used II for fabri-
eating the document.
The court, after protracted
hearings, found the blind debt
or's story correct and dismissed
tho merchants application fol

NEW YORK. Nov. 2O.--By a stroke
of his pen Justice Aspinall Of Brook
lyn annulled a mock marriage made
in 1897 and gave an inheritance Of
$4,000 to pretty l1-ycar-Old Arabella
Beatrice Barker
Miss Barker's mother, who was
Miss Estellc Whitney, wanted to 90
on the stage. She was not of age
and the manager, who was engineer
ing the foOtlight venture for her, said
that she would either have to obtain
the consent Of her parents or acquire
a husband. She chose the latter course
and went through q mock marriage
ceremony with Alphousus Murtagh.
She and Murtagh parted Immediately
after the ceremony and never lived
together. a month after the mock
ceremony was performed the bride"
fell in love with Charles $. Barker
and married him. A year later little
Arabella Beatrice was born. In 1901
Mr.. Barker died. The last twist in
the romantic tangle was made in
1906 when Mrs. Barker married Harry
f, Dargeloh and went to live with him
In California.
In 1913 a partition suit was filed
to divide the $1,O0O,OOO estate Of
Charles Barker, Beatrice's grand
father. A lawyer noticed that neither
Mrs Dargeloh nor her daughter were
mentioned i'm the suit
Two sisters and brother Of Barker
maintained that Mrs. Dargeloh was
never legally married to Barker, be-
cause Of her former marriage to
Murtagh and that therefore the
daughter was illegitimate and not en-
titled to share i'm the estate.
Finally Murtagh took the stand in
Mrs. Dargeloh's behalf He explained
away the youthful prank, telling that
the minister in the ceremony was
not minister and that he had never
considered himself married to Mrs
Dargeloh He has wife now living
in New Jersey
Justice AspiDall then signed the an
nullment decree.

Activity in the Steel Industry

The greatest activity in year, is the way the Associated Press dis patch puts it in reviewing the steel trade of the week just gone.
 Steel mills are now operating at about 80 per cent of ingot capacity They are better provided with orders than at any time since the European war began. It appears that railroad equipment contracts just placed mean "a reservoir of 10000 tons more to draw from"
 The average daily orders booked by the United States Steel corporation alone have increased 10 per cent since May 1.
 Business conditions in general are sound and notwithstanding the uncer- tainty as to the outcome of the war this country is now enjoying a higher degree of prosperity than at any time within a year past. With crop re- ports continuing favorable the i'm petus to general trade will be fell from one end of the country to the other.

Ter perform. Then he brushes up tho crumbs and puts them out on the fire escape for the pigeons and says those
 birds are getting to be blamed nuisance hut they have got in the habit of look
 ing to him for a feed and what in the world can he do?
 He buys his paper going home and
 folds it against the back of the man in
 front of him while he tries to read the ball scores. Then he reads the war news and says those soldiers over there are real heroes, giving up everything to duty the way they do. He wishes he was as good a man as any one of them, but knows blamed well if they put him in the trenches he would prove coward and
 run away.
 And so he goes home and works in the garden till dark with the children con- slider his position when he is wedding the
 radishes as an advantageous one in which to ride him for a horse And after sup
 per he goes down in the basement and knocks together a flower box, but is called up to sit on the porch with a neigEbor and discuss the Lustana, on
 which occasion he says he can't enough admire the conduct of the men who | saved the women and children on that boat and is glad he wasn't there because Ee knows there is none of the hero stuff l in him.

-'s'------------------ PROFESSOR AND PHI. n.

From the New York Sun
 Much has to be forgiven to many pro- fessors and Ph. Ds.. and the sense of humor rather than choler is stirred by wild and whirling words such as those emitted by Yandell Henderson, Ph. D.. who professes physiology in the Yale Medical school. But even that license of a Ph D. and professor can't cover chat ter like this
 ''The sinking of the Lusitania was hor- ribe chiefly because it was dramatic. The cold facts are that it probably saved ten times as many lives as it cost. The am munition which the Lusitana carried would have slaughtered thousands.'
 Even a Ph. D. and professor should
 be above this cheap sophisticated or ig- norant defence of the massacre of non combatants. Even a professor and Ph. D. should know that 1t is part of the business of soldiers to be killed, part of the rights of noncombatants to be spared And how would Professor Yandell Hem derson, Ph. D., like to be shot by some subtle New Havente, whose apologia l after the event would be: He might have run over ten persons in his devil wagon. I have saved ten times as many lives as l have taken.

MEANING OF PAIN
From British Weekly.

From British Weekly- The cry of mans anguish went up unto
 God: Lord, take away pain Lord, take away pain from the world
 Thou hast made, The close coiling chain That strangles the heart the burden that
 weighs
 On the wings that would soar Lord. take away pain for the world Thou
 hast made,
 That it love Thee the more!'' Then answered the Lord to the cry of
 His world: Shall I take away pain, And with it the power of the soul to en-
 dure.
 Made strong by the strain? Shall I take away pity that knits heart to heart And sacrifice high? Will ye lose all your heroes that lift from the fire White brows to the sky? Shall take away love that redeems with And smiles at its loss? Can ye spare from your lives that would
 climb unto mine

death, he said to his valet, Come and let us save the kiddies.'
 Even though the sinking of the Lusitania were justified by the rules of warfare, from the German point of view, it is hard to explain what. pur- pose would have been harmed, had that destruction been preceded by a few moments time for the embarking of innocent children and women in life boats, thus sparing the noncombat- ants on board, many of whom were too youthful to even grasp the .signifi- canoe of the word war.
 Whether or not Alfred Vanderbilt really said the words imputed to him, it is what might we'll be expected from an American man, whether he be ti-millionaire or the lowliest day laborer. It is the spirit that has ac- tuated American manhood in time of peril on sea and on land.
 Surely, if the proverbial rich man should need an advocate at the bar of eternal justice, the simple, manly words, Come and let us save the kid dies" spoken with almost dying breath, will plead for him.
 Had Alfred Vanderbilt said Come and let us find life belts," instead of giving thought to the "kiddies,' he would have left an entirely different memory in the hearts of his country men.
