PASSAGES POLLUTION.
Paterson Has Nine New Cases
of Typhoid--Phillips'
Statement.

Samuel Phillips, President of the Paesaic
Valley Mutual Protective Association, has
issued the following statement /.
A bill was flied in the our of Chancery
in April last to restrain Paterson from
discharging sewage into the Passaic
River. Until the present time no decision
has been rendered. The report of the
Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission has
been submitted to the Legislature, and
there is every indication that the present
session will adjourn on or about the 10th
inst. 1t is of the utmost Importance to
the riparian owners that the Chancellor
should render a decision before the Legis-
lature a%djourns. Paterson had an oppor-
tunity to make an able defence before the
Chancellor through its counsel, and II
there is any further defence to make or
influence to e pom their matter, they
will now have another opportunity to do
so in "open court in the presence of our
counsel. In view of the great Importance
of this matter, I now consider it my boun-
den duty and therefore call upon every
community, municipality and private
property owner along the Passaic to send
representatives in committees to meet at
the Chancellor's Chambers in Jersey City
on Tuesday next, March Z, at ten o'clock
A. M. sharp, to ask the Chancellor why a
decision in u matter should not be rem
dered without delay. The writer urgent
ly requests hat the public press give this
matter as much publicity as possible.
A despatch from Paterson in a New
York paper says
Nine new cases of typhoid fever were
reported to the Board of Health yester-
day. The sudden epidemic of typhoid
fever, of which sixty cases have been re-
ported in the last five days, was the cause
of a special meeting of the Board of
Health tonight. The Board ordered Com
missioner James Gibson to put an immedi-
ate stop to the dredging of the Passaic
River by the East Jersey Water Company
at Little Falls, five miles above the point
where Paterson takes its water supply
from that stream. Physicians generally
agree that the dredging of the river stirs
up the impurities in its bed and that all
who drink of it's waters are liable to be-
come affected.

Academy OF Music

While the public hold aloof from the
legitimate drama, spasmodically n
sparingly patronize melodrama. and near
ly everyone is complaining of he decad-
ence of the stage, Hoyt's merry comedies
tour the country, crowding the largest
theatres to the doors and filling the wit
ty authors pockets with a goodly abund-
ance of American dollars. Why this IS
SO, 1t is not hard to discover. The
American public like fun, and in no place
S the humor more contagious, the fun
more wholesome, the satire more pungent
than in Hoyt's jolly comedies. Every
line reflects the witty authors person
ality and brings out laughter. At the
Academy of Music Monday evening his
funny concoction, "a Stranger in New
York will be presented and is this piece
he is seen at his best. 1t treats of the
visit of a stranger to New York, who.
finding a lost letter of introduction and
presents it to the party it is addressed, he
is taken about the city and royalty en-
tertained and winds up by going to the
Madison Square Garden on the night of
the famous French ball. The piece was
built for the purpose of creating laugh
ter and drawing money to the box office,

can be taken as a criterion, it is fair to
presume hat Mr.. Hoyt reached the goal
of his ambition. IA Stranger in New
York will be presented here by the or
iginal great cast. This means that the
company to be seen here is the same
which presented the piece for nearly four
months in New York and is headed by
Harry conor, Harry Gilfoil. Anna Boyd
and Florence Lillian Wicks and they
will be ably seconded by twenty-five of
the cleverest and most talented comedians
in the employ of Hoyt and Mckee. The
presentation of the piece here will be
precisely the same as to scenery and stage
accessories as that given across the river.
Every particle of scenery and stage acces-
SORES, even to the furniture, electrical eff
fects and b~ric-a-brac will be brought from
HOyt'S Theatre New York.

Spring finds everybody more orless "~run-down."
Spring lassitude' is not an empty phrase. 1t is not a super

They are taking advantage of the marvellous invigorating
power of Paine's celery compound. On every hand there are
sarsaparillas, nervines and tones, but they do not touch the edge
of the real trouble-nervous debility.
When such remedies have been tried and proved valueless,
Paine's celery compound has surprised and delighted by its won
derful lasting results.
Nature, the kindest and gentest Of nurses, is disposed, dur
ing these spring days, to put the blood and nerves in a healthy
condition and no remedy SO ably seconds her effort as Panes

This best of all spring remedies is making people well and
insuring others against future break-downs.

The fiict is, real estate in Jersey City Is
assessed at about so per CEN of its true
value. Making allowance for the undis-
puted undervaluation Of personality, all the
property in this county pays taxes on
about 20 per cent. of its full value. The
average assessment in Harrison. Kearny
and East Newark hardly exceeds twenty-
five per cent. of the value of the property
ASSESSED. We will not speak of the office
seeking end of the question, because we
do not wish TO be disagreeable to Mr..
Kenny, who is, personally. a very agree
able gentleman.
Talking of hysterics-Mr. Kenny re-
peatedly cries out to us to be fair. We try
tc, be. This is the reason why we place
the good of Soo.o0 people ahead of the
whim of one per cent. of 20,0 DOC. Even If
every man, woman and child in the
West towns desired transfer to Essex.
':hey would ave no rights as against the
wishes of the people of Hudson at large.
AS a matter of fact the vast majority of
the people of the town desire to stay IN
Hudson, where they get low taxation by
the indirect method of low assessment,
which would not be tolerated in Essex.
The only, seceders are a handful of men
who have personal motives of one sort
or another for the position which they
hold.
Come now, Mayor Kenny, be fair. You
may run for Congress or something some
other year. And we will give your towns
a boulevard, if you are good, and present.

Greater Jersey City, and then you your

Mayor Kenny's Wall.

In another column will be found a letter
written by Mayor Kenny of East Newark
to the Editor of THE News" by way of
reply to some Of our M on the
great West Hudson secession plot. A few
of his sayings may be briefly answered.
He says, for instance, that he seldom
sees a Jersey City paper. This is both
his misfortune and his fault. The reason,
he says. is that he has no interest in
Hudson affairs. Then he must be a rare
thinker. for he pay his taxes-he says
he pays taxes-in Hudson, and they are
spent by the Hudson F~reeholders. All
the law cases from his section are tried
in the Hudson courts and reported in the
Jersey City papers. All the doings of the
Freeholders are so reported, and all mat
tiers relating to the county institutions.
So. il he insists, he has nc interest in
Hudson, we repeat, he has a very odd
sort of brain indeed.
He says, next, that We abuse and al

have made-we hope-if he read 9Th

The ~irr1tability Of temper, the peevishness, the drowsiness'
and uneasiness that comes in spring shows that the nerves and
brain are the chief sufferers.
Nervousness, that SO often appears at this season, inserts the
thin end Of the wedge that opens the way for a long list of NAL
aides. If you are overworked, haggard from sleepless nights,
nervous and unhappy, do not give way to dread and depression
before you have tried Paine's celery compound. 1t is the one
fair test Of this wonderful remedy-to try it.
Now spring has come, the tired feeling and "out of sorts

critical time. 1t supplies a scientific nerve food. Taken now, it
will enable the body to throw of headaches, rheumatism and all

from the blood, and will nourish the nerves and brain. It is the
most effective, accurate spring remedy ever formulated.
