SHE LOVES THE BOYS.
A Little Heroine Rescues Three
Playmntps.

Playmatcs.
New York. March 9-Mary Carley,
bright, pretty and blue eyed, the seven
year-old daughter of Charles Carley, an
Erie Railroad conductor residing in
Brooklyn. a suburb of Port Jervis, yes
terday afternoon saved three boys from
drowning in the Delaware and Hudson
Canal
Those whom she rescued were her
brother Charlie, ten years old: Elmer
Hornbeck. son of George Hornbeck. elev-
en-, and George Decker. nine, son of Win
field S. Decker. The boys were playing
on the thin ice in the canal at Farnum' $
basin, while Mary stood at the edge along
the slope wall looking on.
They were playing stump in which
the boys challenged one another to go the
farthest out on the thin ice toward the
open water.
They ventured too far out, and the ice
gave way and all three found themselves
struggling in the water. which is deep
enough at that point to drown them. r
Little Mary screamed for help and ran
to a yard near by and found a long pole
With this she ran back, climbed down
the slope wall and ran out on the ice
until she could reach her struggling play
mates with a pole.
They each grasped it, and their COM
bined weight broke the ice toward the
shore until their toes touched bottom.
There, each in turn. Elmer, George and
Charlie, were pulled by the girl on safe
ice, in a much exhausted condition.
Mary is a great favorite with the boys
of her age and delights in playing mar
bles, ball and other games with them.

Smoker.

Smoker.

ed the occupancy of their new quarters,
at the corner OF Pennsylvania Avenue and
Twelfth Street last evening with most
enjoyable smoker. 1t was the third enter
tainment of the kind which had been
given under the auspices of the council,
and like the others was the occasion of
harmonizing the members of organized
labor in the District.
The regular business was dispensed
with and the evening devoted to hearing
short addresses by local and visiting
trades unionists. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Mr.. Richard Lannis, the
president Of the council. who introduced
Mr. J. j. Healy as the first speaker. who
gave a brief history of the purposes for
which the trades We're affiliated and re-
cited many OF the benefits which have re
suited. Short speeches We're made by
Messrs. flanagan and Waldron, of Bed
ford, Mass. who are in the city in the in
| terests of the striking textile workers.
Mr.. Milford Spohn, eN-president OF the
Central Labor Union. followed with
/ stirring speech on the subject of organi-
cation among workinEmen. Past preSi-
dent of the council. Mr. William Silver,
also addressed the meeting and gave
brief history of the local organization.
An ENJOYABLE feature Of the occasion
was the delightful music which was fur
nished by Weber's Band. the members of
which are affiliated with the American
Federation OF Labor. and who had volun-
teered their services for the entertain
ment Of the workingmen of the District.
The essentials to the successful smoker,
pipes and tobacco and cigars Were there
in plenty, and the guests retained their
pipes as souvenirs of the occasion. An
excellent cold lunch was served.
The smoker was in charge of Messrs.
Andrew Murray. Hugh Reed, W. c.
Marsh, W. II. Magahn, William Silver,
and Otto Guest.

RIPARIAN RIGHTS.
Indictments Against Occupants of
the Jersey City Water Front.

Indictments Against Occupants Of
the Jersey City Water Front.
New York. March Slight indictments
just presented to the Hudson County
courts. against the three railroad COM
panies occupying the Hudson River shore
front at Jersey City and Hoboken. bring
into the courts for fresh litigation ripari-
an rights that are valued at upward OF
$40. coo 600. The indictments present the
Pennsylvania, the Delaware, LaCkawanna
and Western Railroad and the New Jer-
sey Central companies for nuisance in
having invaded the city streets and de-
stroyed the public right of easement in
the lands on the water front. From the
fact that eight indictments have been
found ii is assumed that the cities lay
claim through the grand jury to the
right to use eight streets that are now
sealed against them.
1t is matter of common notoriety that
the railroad lands and yards surround
Jersey City and HObOken as with a Chi
nese wall. Jersey City has but one
street extending right down to the wa
ter's edge. 1t is impossible for any citi-
zen to reach the river. by any other
thoroughfare than Morgan Street. except
through the gates of the ferries operated
by the three railroad companies. or in
curing the risk of a charge of trespass
if an outlet be sought at other points
Jersey City has long claimed that she has
a right to extend her streets across the
railroad yards to tidewater and maintain
q public easement in them.
The railroad companies in a measure
confessed the justice of this claim when.
several years ago, they attempted to
whip through the legislature the famous
water front grab" bill. The purpose of
that act was to confirm to the rairoad~
the absolute control of the yards and to
ratify their action in closing the streets
that approached them. Bribery charges
made the struggle over the passage of
that act memorable. and in the excite
ment that ensued the bill was lost. Moth
ing has been done since by them to
strengthen their title, and the questio
is still as open as it was then.

WOMEN ON THE WHEEL.
They Are Excluded From Century
Runs nv a New York Club

New York. March 9.-When the leading
century promoting cycling club in the
/ United States, with scarcely dissenting
| voice decides to exclude women and
! children from future hundred-mile runs
conducted by that club. it is evident that
| popular opinion is having its effect in
shaping the character of the century
outings of the future.
No club within the metropolitan dis
trict annually conducts so many and
such successful hundred-mile trips as
| the Century Wheelmen of New York,
the penchant of whose officers for long
distance riding having led many to sup
pose that the principal qualification for
membership in the club is ones abili-
ty TO cover one hundred miles in a spec
flied time. Not only have the Century
Wheelmens centuries been noted for rec
ord-breaking attendances. but usually
they have been equally conspicuous for
the number Of wheelwomen among the
survivors. on several occasions also in
FAINT prodigies in the wheeling line have
ridden in the front ranks under escort
Of Capt. Matthew Glib and his lieuten-
ants.
Notwithstanding the fact that mem
bers OF the Century Wheelmen are not
ed Tor Gallantry. q sentiment has been
gaining strength among them that the
compiling of centuries by women in or
ganized club runs is not conducive to
the best interests of the sport.
The subject has been debated among CO.
teries OF club members upon several oc-
casiOnS. and only the fear that the eXclu-
sion of women might initiate against the
popularity of century runs has prevent
ed the question being put to a club vote
before this
With the elevation of Matthew Glib to
the presidency of the Century Wheelman
a new policy was inaugurated in that club
as a result of which an open discussion
on the century run question occurred.
A resolution was introduced at the meet
ing to the effect that Ii was the sentiment
Of the club that women should be permit
ted to participate as usual in the century
runs promoted by the club The resolu-
ton was debated at considerable length,
several physicians being among those who
spoke against IL. The women centurions
had scarcely a champion. and when put
to a vote the resolution was defeated by
a majority that was practically dnani-
nous.
The meeting placed itself on record as
favoring the exclusion not only of women
but also Of children from all century runs
Other local cycling clubs are consider
ing the same question, and ii is said to
be probable that a similar step will be
taken by the Manhattan Bicycle Club and
the Triumph Wheelmen. The former club
