public schools on the lower East
Side that young Carroll received
his education.
Newspaper work has a wonderful
appeal, and Howard Carroll became
a reporter. Some one once said
that newspaper activities and 20.
litical activities fit together like a
snug glove" and that Is about true.
1t was not long before Carroll was
dipping into politics. and he first
began to ascend the ladder when he
was appointed a Washington CORE
spondent. That was in the '70's. IL
1 am not in error.
Having safely landed Howard Car
roll in a secure place in the Capital
City, we will see what was happen
ing in the meantime to that unique
character, John Starin.
Success was browning his every
business move and his fleet was
known throughout the East. His
friends prevailed upon him to try
the political game. and in 1877 he
was elected United States Congress
man on the Republican ticket.
Upon assuming his duties as Con-
gresham, Mr.. Starin moved his
household to Washington, and 1t
was there the paths Of John H.
Starin and Howard Carroll crossed.
Mr.. Carroll. who died several years
ago, was in high favor in the Capt..
tai, and 1t was through him Mr..
Starin and his daughter met the
notables Of that time in Washington.
What was more natural than that
Mr.. Carroll, a young, good-loolxing
newspaper man, should fall in love
with Miss Starin? That Is exactly
what happened. Mr.. Stariin realized
Howard CAROLS worth and gave
his consent to the match.
Following his wedding to tho
wealthy Miss Starin. Howard Car.
roll forsook his journalism and de.
voted his time to the many business
interests Of his father-in-law.
The story Of the social rise of the
CAROLS does not differ greatly
from that Of many other families
now prominent in New York society
humble beginnings. ambition. per.
severance. tact and finally the goal
Is attained.
The one point in which the Car.
rolls differ Is they are not from the
West or South. They are genuine
products OF New York State, and
both the late Commodore" Starin
and the late General" Carroll were
very proud OF the fact.

y. John H. starin never for a
minute in his widest dreams, I am

father Of ono Of the most popular
young women in society, but fate
plays strange tricks. 1t was In
1925, / think. that the late Mr..
starin was born up in Fulton

poor, and after receiving the ordi-
nary country school education Of
that era he started out as a travel

hive people in the inner circles.
For many years the late Mr..
Starin had possessed one idea-a
fleet of ships to carry freight in the
canals throughout the State. He
was a great believer in the future OF
such an enterprise, and It is really
astonishing he did not emulate the
Adamses. Dinsmores, ETC., and enter
the express business.
He finally drifted into New York
with the idea Of trying to obtain
enough financial backing to start
his enterprise. The beginning OF
the "Staria fleet" was a hired barge.
This barge made money quickly.

BIB MUSICAL REVUE COMING
Max Bloom in Novelties Of 1920 Her,
Soon

Seldom II ever have local theatre
goers had the opportunity OF seeing
a musical comedy star OF the caliber
OF Max Bloom in production as pre-
tentious as the Novelties Of 1920.
After seeing the numerous cartoon
shows and number two, three and
four companies of past successes. an
original company with recognized
star should appeal To local theatre
goers as something really worth
while.
There Is only one Max Bloom and
there is only one Novelties OF 1920 /;
OF that much the public can rest as
sured and as Max Bloom claims the
record OF playing TO more people in
the last i've years than any other
comedian in the country. there seems
ample proof that the public must like
Max.
Fortunately for this city, the Novel
ties changed their dates at Milwau-
kee, which leaving a week open was
routed through the copper country
for that interim. The fact that Crys-
