Ferry Boats in the War.

at is curious" said a veteran soldier,
'how some incident or circumstance
may impart to j long familiar object
to which we have never given any spe'
clal thought Il significance that makes
it always thereafter an object of par
| ticular interest. The East River ferry
boats impress me in that way now
whenever l see one. And this was
brought about simply by seeing one Of
them out of its accustomed waters amid
strange scenes and put to strange uses
This was in the fall of 81, in Hamp-
ton Roads. The regiment that | served
in was aboard a transport there. wait
ing with other troops about there to go
further South under convoy of fleet
of war vessels. There was great
number of vessels there of all kinds,
steamers, and sailing vessels, and war
ships. And they made an impressive
show; but certainly the most striking
OF any one of them, on its first appear
ance. was an East River ferry boat,
the Commodore Perry. | can see her
at this minute. as she looked then, NOV
ing across the waters of the Roads, she
looked so utterly strange and curious
there, and amid such surroundings. But
she went here and there with the most
perfect confidence, constantly employ
ed in transporting stores, and troops,
and making herself quite as much at
home here as she ever had been among
the currents and eddies of the narrow
East River.
"Other ferry boats were taken down
there. A soldier friend of mine tells
me that later, In the peninsular cam
paign, there was New York ferry
boat in those waters that was used as
gunboat, carrying two Parrot guns,
one at each end, mounted in the gang
ways, where the teams drive in and
out. My own impression is that one or
two of these boats went around Hat
teras. into waters further south. But
however that may be, shall never for
gat the first time saw the Commodore
Perry at Fortress Monroe. And to this
day never go along South street with
out feeling of the keenest personal
interest for every ferry boat l see On
the river."-New York Sun.

FREE LIQUOR TO SOLDIERS.
Anti-SalOOn League Enters PrOtes
and Warming.

uhu warning.
President James L. Ewin of the Anti
Saloon League, at the meeting of that body
Monday night, reported the action of the ex-
ecutive committee in regard to the reported
offer of free liquor to soldiers and sailors
of the United States service. AS soon as
the statement from New York that all
the saloons in that city were keeping open
house was noticed, the attention of Presi-
dent Hiram Price of the National League
was called to the facts.
The officers of the national body prompt
ly addressed note to President Mckinley
| asking him that he take notice of the stu
alton as a serious danger to the efficiency
of the service. His power was invoked to
put stop to the enticement of members
of the army and navy into ways that would
be the cause of serious loss to the coun-
try II allowed to become prevalent. An or
der against drinking in the army directed
TO the heads OF the land and naval forces
was asked for. At the same time a letter
was addressed to Gen. Harries of the Dis
trict Guard. 1t was as follows:
"As the infamous advertising trick of
the liquor dealers of New York city de-
scribed in a Washington paper Of last even
| ing under the heading Drinks Free to Sol
diers,' as per within clipping. is liable to
be followed by those of the District Of Co
bia, your attention is called to the mat
| ter, and you are earnestly requested to in
clude in an early order to the troops under
your command a warning against being
thus or otherwise induced to indulge in in
toxicating drinks while in their country s
service You do not need to be informed
as to the demoraliZing effect of such in
diligence, nor of the peculiar temptation it
has, especially for the younger men and
| boys freed for the time being from the re-
straints of home, and We rely on you to do
all you can to protect the National Guard
| of the District Of Columbia against this
enemy"
This letter was issued by order of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Anti-Saloon
League of the District of Columbia, and
signed by JAS L. Ewin, president, and
| Jesse c. Suffer- secretary.

PROSPECTIVE RECRUITS.
Able-BOdied New Workers Who Coz
Here to Enlist.

Julius Th,rp, Gustave Miller and Fred
Smith. able-bodied men, who were found in
the Anacostia freight yard yesterday after
noon, were arraigned in the Police Court
this morning as alleged Migrants. The
statements made by the prisoners showed
that they came here from New York to
enlist in the army.
I'VE wanted to enlist in New York, y
said Smith. but they kept us there SO
long that we thought We would come here
We could go to war;
Then you were in a hurry?' queried the
court.
Certainly We were in hurry" he an
swered- We want to go to war. We
were on freight all night and were rest
ing yesterday before gong TO headquar-
ters.'
DO you know where the headquarters
are?"
No. but we can find the location"
Il want to advise YOU said the court
that where you We're found is known as
the headquarters for tramps and If YOU
are found there again you may get in Sc
riOus trouble
The men were released on their personal
bonds.

East Washington Citizens Discuss
Report ON improvements.
The regular monthly meeting of the East
Washington Citizens Association was held
at Baum's Hall last night. The special
order for the evening was hearing the re-
port of the committee on streets, avenues
and alleys. Mr.. Carr, acting chairman Of
the committee. made verbal report Of the
proceedings of the committees meeting last
week.
Mr.. Carr said the committee was of the
opinion that an unfair division of the ap-
preparation is usually made. 1t has been
the custom, he said, to give 90 per cent of
the appropriation to the work of putting
down concrete pavements. while the re-
naming 10 per cent is spent on the work
of grading and regulating This division,
he repeated. the committee thought was
unfair. The committee, therefore recon-
mends that there be an equal division of
the appropriation made. Each year, he
said, considerable money has been spent
in putting down concrete pavements where
the streets were already in fairly good
condition. While other streets in the same
vicinity. which were impossible. were not
touched Should the Senate bill pass he
said. there win be $9l. 600 to be expended in

DIR. 8. s. Yoder asked for some informa-
ton concerning the method Of improving
the streets. He thought the grading and
regulating of streets within the city limits
was a useless expenditure of money, for, he
said. the streets have to be torn up be-
fore they can be paved.
President Smith did not agree with him.
1t was Mr.. Smiths opinion that the COM
mitteo had made proper report. He
thought that all the streets should be OPEN
&c up, and let the other improvements come
later on.
Mr.. Chappell and Mr.. Giroilard also made
{ some remarks on the question, and Mr.:
Jeffords moved that the report be amended
so as to provide 25 per cent of the appro-
priation for grading and regulating. Mr.
Clark said that during the years when
