Finally Picked Up.

Richard Stetson is a nine-year-old boy
who says he lives at No. $50 Warren
street, New Brighton. Staten Island.
Last evening he got into catboat at
New Brighton and cast off the painter.
The boat had no rudder, and even if it
had been supplied with one the little lad
could not have managed the boat, which
drifted with the tide and wind rapidly
from shore.
This morning watchman ON BLACK
Tom had his attention attracted to q
drifting catboat and he rowed out to it.
He found Stetson badly used up from the
exposure of the night.
The boy told him he had drifted all
night, and that although many vessels
had passed near him no one had an
swered his cries for help. The watchman
towed the boat ashore and took Stetson
to the Fourth Precinct Station House.
Police Headquarters was notified of the
escapade of the boy. and Acting Chief

THAT ELECTION LAW INcONSIsTENCl


Nothing.
Governor Abbett's attention was called
this morning to the inconsistency in the
new election law which was pointed
out by THE JERSEY CITY NEWS on
Monday Section AZ of the law, it will be
remembered, provides that the envelope
in which the ballot shall be deposited in
the box shall be unsealed, while Section
63 provides that any one who votes the
envelope unsealed shall be liable to pen
atty of S25.
The Governor said that the inconsist-
ency amounted to nothing and was mere
ly an error of the engrossing clerk which
the Legislature would correct next win
ter. In the meantime, he continued, no
one need have any fear that they will get
into Jail or be fined if they vote an un-
sealed envelope, as it is so clear through
out the entire law that the Legislature
intended that the envelope should be un-
sealed

In an editorial printed some time ago The
STAR suggested the advisability of celebrating
impressively the hundredth anniversary of the
District Of Columbia The suggestion was
thrown out in that paragraph that the true time
for the celebration of the completed event
was perhaps April Is, 1891, the centennial of
the corner stone laying. The original law,
enacted July l6, 1890, had been amended by
the act of March 8, 1901, which authorized the
inclusion Of the city OF Alexandra in the limits
OF the federal ten miles square. But the mos,
important part of this amendment forbade the
erection OF any government building except on
the Maryland side of the river. This provision
forever secured to the city Of Washington, then
only existing in contemplation, the exclusive
rights Of a federal capital 1t has been pro-
posed to replace the old corre- stone, now by
the act Of retroc .ssion located in Virginia. by
another monupen: situated within the present
bounds OF the District. This should be done,
unless the old proportions Of the District are
to be restored, when the centenary of the estab-
hshment OF the original District lines is cele-
brated. The question OF a local centennial was
brought up at the recent meeting OF the board
of trade and is to be considered aud reported
upon by q committee.

The international copyright bill ought to
become law because il secures honest returns
for intellectual labor. Heretofore the author
has been pirated on both sides Of the Atlantic.
The provisions are in the interest of authors,
publishers, printers, press and public. The
copyrighted works must be printed from type
set in this country. This is liberal provision
for the American compositor heretofore en-
ployed on the cheap piratical reprints. 1t in
sures that there shall be the minimum of dis
turbance TO the book printing trade. The Lon
don Tunes says that this provision will make
New York the worlds publishing center. To
the American author it is an immense adyan-
tage, enabling him to compete with cheap re-
prints Of foreign works. In this way the re-
public will build up great literature The
repressive features have liberal exceptions;
