A large audience was in attendance at
Fergusons theatre last night to witness the
performance of the Shoppe Bros Minstrels.
While there were some very pleasing features
in it, the entertainment as whole was not
as successful as others given by the same
organization. The withdrawal of the bur
lesque at the last moment was a sore disap-
pOintment to the audience. This step was
taken in Difference to protests made by some
sensitive Councilmen. The opening scene of
the entertainment elected warm applause
The arrangement was representation of the
deck of the battleship Oregon and it was
very effective. The minstrels were attired as
sailors and the orchestra was arranged ON the
top of the turret from which protruded three
rather realistic guns. There were two gun
attendants and two boys occupied positions

BOROUGH
AFFAIRS !
The Board of Health Threatens Council
With Prosecution.
SEWERAGE CAUSES TROUBLE !
Council Prepares to Take Steps That viii
Involve Cooperation, or Trouble
For Many Property Owners.
Arbitrators Chosen in
Suit Against the
Borough.

Last night Health officer Conry served q
written notice upon William Mcclure, presi-
dent of the Borough Council, that if the
sewerage nuisance in the basement of the
borough building is not abated within "a
hours or work in that direction is not started,
he will enter prosecution against the members
Of Council for maintain ug a public nuisance
and failing to discharge their duty in abating
it. This action is taken under direction of
the Board of Health and advice of its
solicitor, NJ. NJ Burke, Esq. Mr.. Conry con-
tends that he has given several notices for
abatement Of the nuisance.
The Council has been considering measures
to comply with the notice, but wants to first
get the property owners interested to sign an
agreement to pay their pro rata share, and
the delay has been due to the perfecting Of
this part of the arrangements.
The sevice of the notice caused the street
committee to hold consultation to-day with
Borough Solicitor Burke with the result that
an agreement was drawn up and placed in the
hands Of Councilman Boehm with the inten-
tion Of having it signed by the property own
ers connected with the sewer complained Of
Each of these property owners will be re-
quired to pay price for connection. 1t is
believed that the steps taken and to be pur-
sued will result in staying the Health Oficer's
action.
The sewer complained of was constructed
| by the borough several years ago for the sole
use of the borough building. From time to
time property owners connected with the
sewer until now the sewer is insufficient to
take all that is drained into it, and the
present Couneilmen find themselves
| threatened with prosecution for a nuisance
nurtured by the good nature of their predeces-
sors. 1t is said that thirty or more property
none paid cent for the privilege or ask per-
mission from Council to make the connection.
Under the action taken by the Board OF
Health the Borough Council is now compelled
to make these property owners step up to the
cashiers desk. A larger sewer will be put ia
and all now having connection with the
present line, and who do not put down the
price for connection, will be left off, 1t i:
expected that the connection fees will cover
the expense the borough will be put to in tn,
work.
In discussion of the case to-day an anus
ing incident was recalled. A few days agt
one of the property owners connected will
the sewer was seeking evidence to bring sui
against the borough for damages because tn,
sewer was too small and caused drainage t,
flow back into his cellar. Investigation
showed that the connection had been mad,
with the sewer without payment of fee, o.
request for permission from the Borough
Council.

This trait of Dewey's character was
evidenced from the moment he reached
the stand side by side with the presi
dent He paused at this point for
moment, apparently unwilling to take
the place that had been prepared for
him on the right of the platform, lest
he should appear to usurp the place
due to the chief magistrate. President
Mckinley grasped the situation in an
instant and taking his great sea cap
tain by the arm placed him by gentle
force in the chair that had been in
tended for him. Later in the day, as
the carriages bearing the official party
drove away from the Capitol between
walls of cheering people, the president
again displayed his tact by remaining
covered and ignoring the demonstra-

home coming was reached yesterday
in the shadow of the dome OF the ma

the hands of the president the mag

meted out to the admiral as he ap-
peared before the vast audience, com
posed not only of all the highest Of

drawn from every corner of the states.
The battle of Manila bay was not for

in the desire to do honor to the man
who had proven himself as great after
victory as before it. and who had
shown in the long and trying months

| qualities of a statesman and a wise
administrator as well as those of the

And enhancing these qualities was
! that of manly modesty, displayed in
