CHARLESTON SAYS SHE WON'T.

The Metropolitan police matter
must indeed be embarrassing and an
noying to Governor Elerbe, since the
the Charleston City Council refused
to accede to his proposition. He
showed a disposition to listen to the
appeals from Charleston, to let that
city have control Of her police and at
least one-third of the Council de-
clined to accept the terms OF the
ssturn over" Now, the situation
stands thus; The Governor is willing
to take off the Metropolitan police,
conditioned that the City Council
sign an agreement to enforce the
Dispensary law. a portion OF the
Council have signed and the other
members decline; among the signers
are those who are "blind tiger" sus-
poets, in fact, true bills at former
term of court were found against
them. With such a condition OF
things existing, we see little prospect
for the enforcement of the law should
Governor Ellerbe recede from the
terms of his proposed agreement. The
members of the Council who refused
to sign the agreement have gone too
far to recede from their position, be-
cause they have placed their reasons
on record and if what they say is
true, self-respect demands ofthem to
stand by their action.
The Governor has given Charleston
a chance to rid herself OF the Metro
politan police, the opportunity hes
been rejected, and in effect, the State
authorities have been told, Charles.
ton will not obey the Dispensary law
This condition needs heroic treatment
aud now is the time to administe,
the dose. 1.-THE Governor will give
Charleston to understand that she is
part of the State and the State laws
were made to be enforced with OF
without a Metropolitan police, and as
his proposition has been rejected, he
will not only stand by thepresent police
system, but will give it all necessary
aid to accomplish the enforcement
of the law; he will have the sympathy
of an element whose influence 10,
good is bound to tell. There is nc
doubt that very large portion O
the good element in that city favor
the enforcement of the Dispensar.
law,and if they succeed in holding OF
to the present police machinery, they
will regard it victory won, and Il
sustain that victory they will great,
aid the officers in the discharge O
their duties.
The Governor should go a stes
further and give that city to under
stand that such a fragrant tramplinE

recently by the grand jury, will no
be tolerated and steps will be take,
to correct the evil; that as long as tn
law is on the Statute books, juror
shall not have the right to act upol
the principle: "It not the violation
of the law, but the Dispensary itsel
which is on trial"
Suppose the Governor recedes from
the position he assumed, the resul
will be far reaching; the effect Will b.
felt in every town whose officers ar
not favorable to the law, and the Gov

Nellie j. King. who, when not officiat-
ing at the meetings of the Canal Boat
Woman's club, is to be found anywhere
between New York and Buffalo on the
deck or in the cabin of the canal boat
Barthodli. The treasurer, Mrs. Murphy,
is the wife of the skipper of the canal
boat Senator Conk!ing, which boat she
is usually instrumental in steering
safely through the turbulentwaters be-
tween Troy and New York city about
twice a month.
Rev. Isaac Mcguire conceiyed the idea
of forming the club in order to provide
recreation for the women who follow
the canals during the time their boats
are laid up in the canals or on the docks
about New York. The women entered
into the Arrangement with the liveliest
interest They spread the news of the
clubs formation from the Erie basin to
The HobOllen docks, from Communipaw
toNewtown creek and across to the Har-
lem bridge. The women came in crowds
to the gatherings, and at the last meet
ing there were no less than 400 present.

downright. ISL


The canal boat women of the United
States have decided that the social in
tercourse comprised in few words of
salutation as the barges glide past each
other on the country waterways is not
all that could be desired by such a vast
sisterhood as that which makes its
home in the little cabins of the canal
boats They have therefore got to-
gether and formed themselves into a
club, which will meet every Thursday
throughout the year at riverside read
tng-room at No. 81 Coenties slip, New
York city.
The president of the club is Mrs.
Rode, daughter of Rev. Isaac Mcguire,
canal boat missionary of 25 years
service, and the man with whom the
idea of the canal boat woman's club
originated. The secretary is a petite
little canal boat woman named Miss

ment, either by solo singing. reading
or the recounting of some particularly
interesting incident of canal life. If
you want to hear stories that surpass
anything in the fiction line you ever
read, come along to a meeting of the
Canal Boat Women's club.
"There is another feature of the club
life that cannot be too highly COM
mended. This is the Dorcas branch of
the working members league. The
members of the Dorcas society are
pledged to devote so much time each
year to the making of garments for the
poorer classes of canal boat women,
who, having possibly more than their
share of children, are unable to keep
them properly clothed. There is a good
deal of distress among the canal boat
women when business is dull, and no
one ever hears about it except the wom-
en- themselves. When the Dorcas So
ciety meets the members have a list of
cases that have come under the notice
of the women during their trips about
the country, and they sew their fingers
sore to help these unfortunates.
'I don't want to convey the impress
sion, however, that the canal boat wom-
en- as Il class are poor. People who
sympathize with them because they are

could not be expected that the men
would allow their wives and daughters
TO come clear across the East and
North rivers from such distant places
as Hunters Point and Jersey City
without some one to see them safely
home to the canal boat. We stipulated
that the men should sit quietly and be-
have themselves, taking no part in the
meetings, but leaving their wives and
sisters to do all the talking they
wished, and merely accepting the re-
freshments which were handed them.
thanking their lucky stars that the
Canal Boat Women's club had not for
gotten that men must eat and drink
while women talk.
THE mistress of ceremonies Mrs
Travers, a canal boat woman who is
known to the sisterhood from here to
Chicago, officiates as the central figure
of the gathering. She usually begins
by getting the women TO sing MY
Country 'Tis of Thee and few patriot
ic airs. They bring all kinds Of mu'
sical instruments with them, for the
canal boat that has not an accordion or
a guitar aboard is very poorly
equipped. The singing with the accom-
paniment is worth going miles to hear,
for many of the women have excep-
tionally fine voices, and of their volume
there can be no doubt at an.

When Mrs. Sherwood, the author, who

This was an additional joy. No one

walking along the road, and who
stopped to take some orders from his
fellow-fsherman.
You will eat to-day some fish which
Seth and I caught this morning" said
Mr.. Webster.
Mary was terrified at the responsibili-

lucky hit by asking what kinds of fish
were easiest to catch. He launched off
on his favorite topic, and talked of the
gamy bass, the reluctant cod and their
fellows.

enjoy the fish which are the hardest to
