The "Journals and "worldn in
Deep Water,

The Evening Journal threw off the
mask IN Monday and came out openly for
the East Jersey Water Company. 1t is,
of course. natural that Colonel Phelps
should favor the scheme in which his
friends. vice-President-elect Hobart n
Governor Griggs. are so deeply interested.
The gallant Colonel is the hereditary ally
of monopoly and capital in the Paterson
district of the State. n 1t is rather COM
mendable than otherwise hi he is frank
n ~outspoken about 1t.
In this he has the advantage over his
friend Mr.. Joseph A. Hyde. whose habit
1t is IN public matters not to let his right
hand know what his left hand does.
Though we are opposed to the East Jer-
sey contract. we are obliged to endorse
what the Journal says in its Mondays
article in criticism of the WORLDS abb
surd water fakes. The mingled ignorance
and malice OF these is indeed remarkable.
1t seems to have been Raboring under the
de1usion that our supply was to come from
the Pequannoek water shed. This is
funny. It is useful, too. 1t shows just
how much reliance is to be placed in the
Worlds articles
This morning, the headline over the
daily water fake is the most humorous, to
date 1t is Making a City Desperate
This suggests pictures of Carthage before
its downfall or Jerusalem in the last hours

Bergen Heights cutting off their hair, and
the maidens from h fats rubbing ashes
on their faces. while men pale but reso-
lutte go around with pocket pistols, swear

James Carnell, of Ormond, an old
and experienced guava jelly manu-
facturer, spent several days in Lake
Worth this week prospecting, with a
view of removing his plant from Or
mond to this place. In an interview
with representative of The News
Mr.. Carnell says that his object in
coming farther south is to be nearer
the guava crop, and to save the ex-
pense of shipping the raw material.
He is well pleased with the Lake
Worth section, and in all probability
will locate here in the very near fu-
ture. The manufacture of guava jelly
is destined to become one of Dade's
best having industries. For several
years past one or two small factories
have been in active operation, and
many thousands of glasses of this
rare jelly have been shipped into the
northern and eastern markets, where
the demand has never yet been sup
piled.

lost all of my immediate family, con-
sisting of father, mother, two broth
ers and two sisters, besides seven I'M
cles, nine aunts and several cousins,
who died with it, was given up to
die myself. I met an old physician,
who prescribed for me. After TAX
ing one bottle of his medicine, my
cough stopped, and after taking
three bottles, I was well. The testi-
mony of prominent physicians, min
listers of the gospel and business
