.From the Pavement to the Prison. THERE is a class of persons in Charlotte- town who cause much more trouble than the corner pests, They are known to the police as habitual offenders—men whose craving for drink cannot be satisfied, and whose life is made up of bouts of drinking, debauchery, rioting and general disorderli- ness, Sometimes they are driven to steal _in order to raise funds to satisfy the crav- |ings of the demon within them. Asa rule, | however, the habitual offender is not a pro- | fessional thief, for the chief reason that larceny is punishable by cumulative sen- _tences, and the offender very soon gradu- | ates for penal servitude. He is then out of the way fora lengthened period.

We have, at the present time, a large number of ** wrecks.” Charlottetown, for the last twelve months, has been rather notorious for its habitual offenders, Time and again have newspaper readers been saddened by perusing. paragraphs about the frequent appearances in the police court of certain notorious drinkers. We have still an army of drunkards who seem to have lost all hope.

We are al] familiar with such a spectacle as XXX drunk again. He has worked hard for a day or two, and having become possessed of a dollar or two, has resolved on having a holiday. While sober he is an inoffensive person; but when tipsy he is a perfect nuisance. He commences early in the forenoon, and, as he is a ‘‘ solo-drinker,” he goes about from one rum shop two another, getting more and more ‘‘top heavy” as he wanders along. He is a ‘hop beer” drinker, but his stomach has, like that of most other human beings, a limited capacity for liquids. He begins to fee] that the Jast glass has made him “full,” and to qualify the beer he sends down a dose of whiskey. The whis- key has the desired effect. The stomach contracts, and the waist-coat is no more a ‘tight fit.” The ardent spirits which he poured down his throat make him friskey, aud to keep it company he sends down an- nother ten cents worth out of the same cask.

He then begins to think that he has given enough custom to one ‘‘ shop,” and makes for the next. But the journey proves tedious and very long, as the pedestrian uuknowingly follows an imaginary serpen- tine walk. He becomes weary, and leans against an electric lamp post. It is “‘ grate- ful and comforting,” and he falls asleep. In that position he is found by the police, who kindly take him where he has often been before.

This shows how humanely a ‘“‘sot” is conveyed from the pavement to the prison. XXX is a sot of the most profound type. He is never outrageous except when he is interfered with at that stage known as ‘+ half over.” Then he is ‘‘in form,” and knocks down all who come in his way-—his wife and children included. Let alone, however, he fills himself ** up to the neck,” and then lies down to sleep ‘‘ perchance to dream.” For the moment he is at all events in dreamland, and nothing short of pitcher of cold water down his coat sleeve can restore him to consciousness. The police know this and a conveyance is ob- tained. XXX is laid quietly into it, and is conveyed to the*police oftice,where his com- ing to consciousness, hoursjafter, is made known by a husky voice demanding a “‘ big drink” of water. He is then brought be- fore the court and is sentenced. This is drinking made easy with a vengeance.

All this may seem 2 burlesque to those who have little or no knowledge of a police- man’s duties. But, alas! it is areal picture I have been drawing: The question is: Are we, as citizens, doing anything to abate the nuisance. The Scott Act is the tee- totallers’ (as well as some who are not) method of treating the subject, while those who are not total abstainers hold the opposite view. My own opinion is that there ought to be a movement made in the direction of heavier sentences on drunk- ards, and not only heavier, but cumulative penalties in the case of habitual offenders. I am also of opinion that habitual drunk- ards should be sentenced to long ierms of incarceration and made to work for their maintenance.

I would also have a section of our prison set apart for habitual offenders, where the ‘discipline, though, perhaps, not quite 80 strict as in the case of ordinary criminals, 'would yet be so exacting as to make the | drunkard feel that he was not only being | punished for his misdeeds, but also that an ‘effort was being made to reclaim him. | The question is certainly a very large one, ‘but it must be dealt with in a very short time. There is no more demoralizing sight jon the street than a drunken man, and if ‘he could be kept out of the way for some ‘lengthened period the gain to the com- 'munity would be great.

DEBORAH.

Is She An Islander?

The Halifax Herald says :—A girl named Jaue Beazley arrived in this city Wednes- day afternoon from Lunenburg in a schoon- eer. It appears thata short time agoa man named Zwicker, belonging to Lunen- burg, while in Halifax became acquainted ‘with the young girl and promised to marry her. He persuaded her to go to Lunen- burg, assuring her that on their arrival their they would be married. After their arrival there he betrayed the girl and in an endeavor to cover his crime he gave her a bottle of medicine. The girl thinking there was something wrong went to a druggist, and asked him to examine the fluid contained in the bottle. The druggist

from Mr. Theo. Chappelle, the Goods, gives me the largest an¢ ever shown on P. E. Island.

ed her, but he disclaimed all knowledge of the affair, and said to the parties who were

present at the time that he never saw the girl before. This was proved to be false, as he had been seen with the girl.

After

self. ‘ihe at once made up her mind to re- turn to Halifax, and on the way up she tried several times to jump overboard, but was prevented doing so by the hands on board the vessel. The unfortunate girl arrived here some time ago from P. E. Island and worked a short time as a dom- estic with a family named Redmond on Brunswick street. While there she became acquainted with Zwicker who led her astray. On her arrival here word was sent to her people in P. E. Island, who are very respectable. The girl was well liked by all who knew her and was always consider- ed avery respectable girl. Parties here are awaiting a reply from the girl’s parents and incase they do not want her home, provision will be made to have her properly cared for.

What the Girls Say. A Halifax dispatch of the 19th, says :— The two girls who accompanied Miller to St. John returned last evening. They are both prepossessing in appearance. Aggie and Lizzie McKenzie, the names which they registered at St. John are their cor- rect cognomens. One is sixteen years of age and the cther twenty-one. They are sisters and belong toSt. Peters, C. B. The yonngest one has been employed as a servant to Lieut.-General Ross, and the other at Mr. Morrows, Northwest arm They state that on Sunday they rere walk ing along Spring Garden road when Miller driving along in a buggy hailed them as if he had been prevously acquainted, and asked them to take adrive. They accept- ed and he took them tothe three mile

house. During the drive he proposed to marriage to the elder sister who acccepted. He told her that he owned a yacht and that she was coming. here with

anumber of strangers and that she was also going to Charlottetown where he had to make arrangements, and there the marriage would take place. The next day the girls obtained leave of absence by stat- ing that their brother was going away in the train and they wanted to see lim off. They deny that there was any improper conduct while they were in Miller's com- pany. Both girls were dismissed from their employment.
