COLONY FOR INEBRIATEs.

A special committee appointed bv
New York City to consider the adj
visibility of establishing board of
inebriety and hospital and Industrial
colony for inebriates declares, that
the city is spending $145,00O a year
for the cases of intoxication committed
to two institutions; besides the pro-
portion of expenses for these cases
In the magistrates courts tis at least
$125,O00 a year." Add to this the
great expense incurred in policing the
inebriate inmates of the city prison
and the alcoholic wards of hospitals.
Nothing is accomplished by all this
expenditure. There is no pretense
even that the individual is helped.
quite the contrary" The inebriate
when sent to the ordinary hospital
and sent home "cured" has simply
been prepared physically to begin
drinking again, which is what he usu-
ally does. He did not consent to 60
to the hospital because he wanted to
reform, and he is not reformed by the
treatment nor does he reform after
returning home.
II Could Be Done.
We are told that alcoholism is a
disease; so 10 typhoid fever. "You
told US this before" Perhaps l did,
but are people never asked second
time to take a drink? and do they
always refuse? Well, anyhow, says
Father Landing in the Pittsburg OBJ
server, typhoid fever is a disease,
and many were afflicted with it
but not nearly SO many as with
alcoholism until the city went to the
expense of many millions OF dollars
to put in filtration plant, which costs
many thousands year to keep up,
to rid the city Of the bad water that
caused the fever. Every one believes
it was money well spent, for the fever
rate is about the lowest Of any city
in the whole country. If alcoholism
is a disease, why does not the state
go to work to rid itself Of drink which
causes alcoholism, just as does the
city to rid itself of bad water that
causes typhoid fever? The answer
is the same, and as false, as when it
is asked: why does not the state
provide for religious instruction in it's
schooIs?" It can't be done, is the reply.
The answer is untrue in both in
stances. It could be done liz those I'm
control were willing that 1t should be
done. Where there is will there is
way, or it Ia soon found or made.

Found Drowned

Miss Caroline jacob was found drown
ed in a meadow ditch last Sunday fore
noon below Pennsville.
She was a native of Penns Grove, be-
ing the daughter of the late Augustus
Jacob. For the past twenty years she
has lived in Philadelphia, where she was
a ~dressmaker, skilled in fitting and re-
ceived large pay for her labor in wealthy
families. During the past few years her
health has been failing and at times she
has been in hospitals and %sanitariums for
treatment. Last Friday she came to the
home of her sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Turn
er, widow of the late Jon. Turner below
Pennsville.
On Sunday morning about 9 O'Clock
she started for a walk down the meadow
bank as has been her custom. Not re-
turning at the usual time, search was
made and her body was found in a ditch
in hich was three feet of water.
Coroner Hitchner was notified and pro-
nounced it accidental drowning. Wheth-
er she had vertigo and fell into the ditch,
or went in with suicidal intent is only
conjecture.
The funeral service was held on We'd
nesday. Iuterment was in Emmanue
Cemetery. She was aged so years.
Mrs. Or. John M. Summerill, of Penns
Grove, is a sister to Miss jacob, and the
only other relative living. Their parents

New Steamer to Wilmington

What is considered the first movement
made to connect the business interests of
Will mington with South Jersey, was
the closing OF a deal by Captain Horace
Wilson, president of the New Jersey and
Wilmington Ferry Company last Friday.
for a new boat. The deal was referred to
in these columns last week. On Thurs
day Captain Wilson purchased the ferry
boat Long Beach, recently used by the
Long Island Railroad Company for use
IN the line.
The vessel, which is of iron construction
ran between Thirty-fourth street, New
York, and Long Island City, and was
built by the Harlan and Hollingsworth
Corporation in 1880. The vessel is 100
feet long and so beam, and will accomo-
date eighteen double teams Or twenty-five
automobiles.
The vessel is to be altered somewhat.
This will be done in Wilmington,if posi-
BILE, altho the weather will determine this
as the vessel has to proceed to Whining
ton under its own steam. 1t is pIanneda
to put the boat on the line about April l.
In speaking of the addition to the line,
Captain Wilson said he hoped a regular
ferry slip would be constructed along the
Christlana river within a short time, and
as the city. now owns a section of the
river front near Church street, it is
thought that a slip could be constructed
there.
1t was said the Long Beach is to be one
OF a fleet OF ferries to ply between Will
mington and New Jersey, stopping at
Penns Grove, Fenton's Beach and Penns-
vile. This would bring the market of
these places to the merchants of Whining
ton. With the placing of the Long
Beach on the line the steamer Ulrica of
the company is to be sold, it being too
small for the business.
