IMPROVE FERRY SERVICE.
When the new franchise for the Canal Street Ferry was sold to the
Southern Improvement and Ferry Company, we expected much in improve
mients, and so far have gotten little commensurate with the traffic and the
revenues that are being produced for the corporation, which is the lucky
owner of the franchise. We are informed by good authority that wagon tickets
will not be sold to customers on this side of the river, and that those who buy
tihese tickets in large quantities must purchase same from the ticket agent
0n the city side. If one of our big manufacturers here should run out of
tickets he would be compelled to pay a full cash fare to cross the river before
he would have the opportunity of purchasing the tickets at the reduced price
according to the franchise. Why this side of the river should be discriminated
against in the sale of wagon tickets. we are unable to say.
A few nights ago the ferry boat, Josie, broke down when near the city side
of t he river. It had on board quite a number of passengers who were no doubt
in a hurry to reach their destination. We are told the ferry was taken in tow
by one of the other ferries and instead of landing the passengers on the city
side, they were again towed to the Algiers side, giving them an excursion of
about an hour from the time they boarded the boat on this side of the river to
the time they were landed on the other side. This is what we call accommo
dation. It would have been an easy matter to have landed these passengers on
the city side and then towed the disabled Josie to her berth.
Another one of the shortcomings of the Ferry Company is that they
refuse change to parties whenever it pleases their convenience. Only a few
days ago Mrs. Chas. W. Abbott tendered a ten dollar bill for the purchase of
tickets. She was told by the ticket seller that they could not change the bill.
Mrs. Abbott asked what could be done in the premises and she was informed
that she had better go and have the bill changed and then come and buy her
tickets. Someone, however, in the ferry house, seeing Mrs. Abbott's humilia
tion, provided her with the necessary transportation through the wheel. We
.re also informed that Mrs. Mills. of Pelican avenue, was also refused change
for $3.o0 when desiring to purchase ferry tickets. We do not know that the
franchise of the new company states that they should furnish change to the
Algiers' patrons of the ferry. but it is a matter of accommodation that no doubt
the Algiers people would appreciate. It seems to us that a sense of justice
would dictate to this corporation a change in their methods along this line.
If change for only a dollar is to be furnished by the Ferry Company, there
should be a conspicuous sign placed so that the passengers may become ac
quainted with the rules of the company and thus provide themselves, before
leaving home, with the necessary quarter.
Everybody will agree that the continual dry-sweeping of the boats during
the busy hours of the morning is not only unhealthy and tending to spread
tuberculosis, but is very offensive, and a dirty practice that should not be tol
erated any longer. Women with white dresses are compelled to shift their
positions from one side of the boat to the other to keep away from the dust.
The Anti-tuberculosis League is spending thousands of dollars annually in'
trying to edu'ate the people regarding the prevention of the great whit;.
plague, tuberculosis. One of the principal preventives is the care of the spu
tum, which, when dry, files in the atmosphere as dust, is inhaled in the lungs.
and there sows the seed for, perhaps, an early death. The Tnti-Auberculosis
League could accomplish more in one day by preventing the dry-sweeping of
the ferries than efforts expended in other directions in six months. These
ferries are usually swept between eight and ten o'clock a. m., at a time when
the boats are crowded with working people going to their labor. The time to
sweep the ferries is either at night or early in the morning, before they are
put into commission, and Instead of using brooms, a great deal more could be
accomplished if they would use hose instead.
It is true that many improvements were given us by this company, but
they were not voluntarily given; they were improvements that formed part
of the franchise which they purchased and it was not a matter of choice with
the company; but there are so many other improvements that could be given
that are not in the franchise and that would be greatly appreciated by the
traveling public, that we believe the company would be well repaid for the
little trouble and expense they may incur along this line.
We know that many requests have already been made to the company to
place a few benches on our side of the river for patrons who are waiting for
the Gretna er Pacific Avenue cars. Very often ladies are burdened with chil
dren and packages and their walt for the cars is from ten to twenty minutes.
Can the Ferry Company give us a single reason why benches are not placed
here for the accommodation of the ladies? This is one of the things that is
not in the franchise of the company. The approaches to the ferry houses on
both sides are provided with plenty of electric bulbs that are seldom lighted,
except just enough to mark out the passage way from the house to the ferry.
We have had numberless complaints regarding the closets that are often not
lighted. We want to ask our readers to observe as they pass the ferry house
the magnificent display of illumination, and especially the approaches.
MOUNT OLIVET NOTEe.
Last Sunday morning at the early
service a very large number of the
friends and families of those who had
been confirmed by the Bishop on the
preceding Sunday received communion
with the class. After the service the
rector presented to each of the newly
confirmed an envelope containing their
obligation of service, which they had
previously written out with their own
b hands and on which were written by
him words of commendation or en
couragement. In presedting them the
rector explained the purpose and pbh
ject of this little service, expressing
the hope that it would not be without
its effect.
Sidney David, infant son of Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Andrew Nolan, of Law
rence P. O, La., was baptized last
Sunday morning.
Despite the threatening weather, the
attendance of the Sunday school was
very god last Sunday.
We are glad to see so many at the
daily services, but there is plenty of
room for others.
At the morning service last Sunday,
the rector was assisted by our efficient
lay reader, Mr. L. J. Burton.
It was with pleasure that we learned
" of the interest our ladies are taking In
'the Y. W. C. A. Quite a number of
them met at the residence of Miss
* May Averill in Delaronde street last
Monday night and listened attentively
to the address of Miss McLemore giv.
- ing an account of the purpose and ob
ject of the association.
Our Men's Bible Class continues to
grow, and we welcomed last Monday
night several new members. The meet
ing begins promptly at 8 p. m. and
i closes at 9 p. m. Our lesson for next
Monday night consists of the 15th, 16th
and 17th chapters of the book Genesis.
A hearty welcome is extended to all.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to
the family of the late Richard H. Keen
in their recent bereavemet. May the
God of peace have them in His holy
keepling and grant upon him mercy in
that day.
The ladles' Guild held a very inter.

Tueday night, the attendance was
quite large, matters of missonary Im

Accepts Call to Father's Church at Ft.
Wayne-Algiers Lutherans Receive
Decision With Regret. and Will
Seek Another Leader.
Rev. Flrederick \Wantllhgan, h10) has
been pastor of the Trinity Lutheranl
Church for the past tihe ye(as, an
nounced Saturday that he has act.pt
ed the call from the Lutheran ('hure It
at Fort Wayne, Ind.. to he assist;ant to
his father, who is pastor of the con
gregation. Mr. \\Wanlbsgan intends ',,
remain in Algiers until the repairs ont
the edifice now under way are com
pleted. This will take s4v eral months,
but he felt too much interest in his
membership and their earnest efforts
to leave them on a short notice.
While they feel sorry for his decision
the Algiers Lutherans realize that their
belover pastor is going to a field where
his opportunities will he more numner

more effective church work. He is a
young man with a bright future, and
there are none who wish him better
luck than his present flock.
A meeting of the membership of the
church has been called for Thursday
night, when a call will be issued to
several desirable ministers, asking
them to consider coming to Algiers.
Mr. Wambsgan will render every possi
ble assistance to them.
ORDERS PEOPLE TO LEAP FROM
FERRY AS BOATS COLLIDE.
The presence of mind of Captain
Worley and Watchman J. L. Arroy, of
the ferryboat Halliday, probably saved
a number of people from injury about
8:30 a. m. Friday, when the bow of the
Manteo, a freighter, crashed through
the ferryboat's stern. The collision
sounded like a terrific explosion and
created considerable excitement on the
wharf, especially when ferry passen
gers were seen leaping to the pontoon.
The Halliday was moored to the
pontoon at the foot of Canal street.
The Manteo, one of the vessels in the
service of the Mobile & Gulf Steam
ship Co., in charge of Captain Schel
don, was coming in from Mobile. The
steamer was preparing to land when
suddenly the wheel ropes gave way,
placing the vessel beyond control. She
made a sudden dive towards the Halli
day.
Captain Worley was quick to see
that a collision could not be avoided.
He shouted to his passengers to jump
off. They obeyed his orders. Many
of those on the upper deck did not
even wait to descend the stairways,
but jumped the entire height to the
pontoon. In the meantime, Watchman
Arroy unfastened the ropes that held
the Halliday to the pontoon. This per
mitted the ferryboat to give when the
Manteo struck her, and probably saved
her from more serious damage, if not
from total destruction. They then
selves, with six other members of the
crew, stuck to their posts.
The bow of the Manteo cut through
the Halliday's stern like a knife
through a sheet of paper. The rudder
and a lifeboat were almost totally de
stroyed. In fact, the stern was almost
carried away.
The Thomas Pickles, another ferry
boat, went to the Halliday's resuce an i
towed her to the Algiers side. A hasty
inventory disclosed the fact that the
damage will not exceed $600. The
Manteo, beyond having her bow slught
ly splintered and a little paint scratch
ed off, was not damaged.
