Why Cows Dry Up. .

Cows SO dry from mismanagement
more than from any other cause. Ir.
regularity of milking and failure to
strip" will cause any COW to dry off.
The richest milk is last drawn from
theaudder, and for that reason alone
the dairymen should strip closely.
Changes of food, when made sudden
ly, will also cause the COWS to fall Of
IN yield; but in winter the cause may
also be due TO extreme cold and insult
iciont shelter, while in summer the
use of netting in the windows to pre-
vent the entrance of flies and other
insects, will serve to prolong the milk
ing period.-Farna and Field.

REBUKED BY A PRIEST.
Father O'Connor Scores Harrison
Council for Deadlock

The Rev. NJ P. O'Connor, at one of the
early masses in the Church of the Holy
Cross Harrison, Sunday, after making
the usual announcements referred to the
deadlock that has existed for months over
the temporary craftsmanship of the Coun-
Gil. ''This is a serious matter" said
Father O'Connor, land the town is suffer-
ing thereby. The members should get to-
gether, and if they are not able to agree,
then let them put the names of each of
the eight members into hat and draw
for the Craftsmanship.
1.-The sewer basins and the streets are in
a filthy condition, due to the action of the
Council in not organizing. The smell
arising from these sewer basins is some
thing frightful and the large number of
deaths among the children of the town is
largely due, no doubt, to this very thing
If you members of the Council, who are
in church her me, I hope you will take
these words home to yourselves and act
quickly. If not, the citizens of the town
should meet and take the matter into
their own hands and see that the town no
longer suffers
Father O'Connors remarks were the
subject of discussion wherever small
crowds gathered in Harrison yesterday,
and the general opinion was that he had
started a movement that will result in
breaking the deadlock soon.

district, and that the candidate of the
Repuoilcan party will be Congressman
X. wayne Parker. But the people who
nave stood by former Comptroller John
y. Gibson in his preliminary canvass for
the nomination, refuse fatty to look at
the situation in that way.
The Gibson heutenants maintain that
their champion is very much In the CON
test and that nothing is further from his
intentions than stepping aside to leave
the course clear for the Captain of the
Essex Troop. They maintain that since
the announcement of Mr. Gibson's can
didacy he has received assurances of sup-
port from quarters where such help was
not looked for or sought. But it is none
the less welcome for coming unsolicited
% the Gibson lieutenants.
Nor are the men who are urging the
candidacy of the former Comptroller
very much frightened at the attitude of
Major Carl Lentz, the chairman of the
county Republican Committee. or of
senator Thomas N. McCarter. both Of
whom are out-and-out Parker advocates.
his capacity of chairman of the
'ounty Committee, Major Lentz has
sed his best efforts to give the weight
md influence of the committee to Con-
sressman Parker and has succeeded in
drilling number of the committeemen
into line for his candidate.
But the Gibson people are not losing
sleep over the Majors opposition. nor
are they missing any chance 10 undo
the work already done by the commit
tee chairman.
The Major is still prosecuting his hunt
for man with whom to defeat County
Register John P. Dexheimer for the
nomination for that office. The Major
has pinned his faith on the vice chair
man of the County Committee George e.
De Camp, of Livingston That means thar
the Major has deserted Assemblyman
John N. Klein, of Belleville, who was
MS first choice for the job, but whom
Governor Voorhees, declined to appoIns
last May. 1t also means that the chair
man of the County COMMITTEES has re-
vised his views as to the advisabilitv OF
giving the nomination to Montciatr in
recognition of the good work done for
the party in that section

HICKORY JlM'S RUN.
Steep1echaser Made More Excite-
ment in Street Than on any Track.

Especial to 1.-The Jersey City News']
NEWARK, July "a 1900-Hickory Jim
horse once famous as a steeplechaser
now owned by John Anderson, of Marcy
avenue, East Orange, who purchased it
from Assistant Chief Charles H. Ashley
of the Bloomfield Fire Department
created much excitement in Bloomfield on
Saturday afternoon by running away
Hickory Jim ran five miles before being
captured, and then only stopped from ex-
haustion.
Mr.. Anderson drove to Bloomfield and
stopped in front Of a blacksmith shop on
Glenwood avenue. Anderson had only
been in the shop a few moments when a
trolley car on the Passaic and Orange
Valley line came along, struck the car
riage and wrecked it,
Hickory Jim started to run, and for
over an hour made things lively on the
streets traversed.
After cantering over a number of lawns
in the immediate neighborhood and run
ming dangerously near a number of chill
dren playing in the Streets the horse ran
out of Glenwood avenue, again to the
Lackawanna Railroad Depot, where it
took the tracks and on toward Glen
Ridge.
Going down the steep grade near the
railroad station was a freight train, and
to prevent the horse from continuing up
the track to meet the train and death,
the fiagman ran out Of his shanty with
flag and. waving it at the ANIMAL sue
ceeded in driving it off the tracks and on
to the road.
Down Washington avenue sTIickory
jim ran, then across Bloomfield Centre
to Franklin sstreet and to Montgomery
avenue. The frightened animal stopped
near Belleville and was found grazing
along'the road near the old calico works.
Hickory JIM" when owned by NGr.
Ashley, of Bloomfield, ran away one day
with a plough to which the animalswas
attached, destroying a cornfield, breaking
down fences and committing other mis-
chief.

P PASSAIC
POLLUTION.
Committee Of Arrangements
Will Call Another Con-
ference on Au-
gust 6.
COUNSEL TO BE RETAINED
All Jersey City Improvement
Associations Will Take a
Hand In the Certio-
rari Fight.
COUNSEL TO Be RETAINED

The committee appointed at the recent
conference of the improvement associa-
tions of this city, to make arrangements
for carrying to the United States Su-
preme Court for review the decision OF
the Court of Errors and Appeals in refer
ence to Passaic Pollution, will call another
preliminary meeting on August 6, by
which time they will have a report to
make.
Although the opinion of the Court of
Errors reversing Chancellor McGilrs
opinion that Jersey City had rights in the
river has been delivered, 1t has not yet
been filed, and the committee from the
date of filing has six months in which to
make their appeal.
1t has been suggested that Mr.. Max Sal
niger shall be the attornew for the asso-
citation in their fight, and he will have as
associates some counsel like Mr.. Thomas
N. McCarter, Richard V. Lindabury or
Cortlandt Parker. Mr.. Salinger is one of
the appointed committee on arrange
ments, and has paid great attention to
the case throughout. With him on the
committee are Messrs. Andrew J. Corcor-
an and John Casey of the Second Ward
Improvement Association, Humphrey w.
Carr and T. Frye of the Bergen Improve
ment Association, the authors of the
crusade against pollution. These gentle
men will arrange for the collection of the
funds to carry on the litigation with
view to establishing Jersey City's right to
sue Passaic City and Paterson for pollut-
ing the river and rendering useless the
valuable plant at Belleville. The grave
side of the question is the effect of the
decision of the Court of Errors and Ap-
peals on the new water supply at Boon
ton, as Mr.. Salinger says:
..It seems clear" he remarked today,
''that if we cannot prevent people,
cities or townships from polluting the
Pasaic that we cannot enjoin anyone do
ing precisely the same thing in the
Rockaway River and then what will be-
come of the eight million dollars water
works which we have bought from Mr..
Flynn? Eminent legal authorities are on
tn eside of the late Chancellor McGill
that waterway like the Passaic River
cannot be turned into an open ditch for
sewage.
"The late Attorney General John P.
Stockton held that view and others. This
decision is a vitally important matter for
Jersey City, its taxpayers and residents.
1t means their health and their lives and
they ought to support the associations in
this fight Little can be done for the next
two months until the summer vacations
are at at an end, but in the fall the fight
will be gin and we mean to push to the
last conclusion

British Pension Rules.

British officer who loses limb or an
eye at once receives a sum equivalent to
years pay and the price of an artificial
limb A year later he may be granted a
permanent annual pension, graduated ac-
cording to his rank. A Lieutenant-Gen-
eral receives 81, 600; a Major-General, 1,75o;
Colonel, s1500; a Major, $1,000: Cap
tain. $500, and subaltern $3.50. When an
officer is wounded very, severely he may
reveive gratuity, varying from three to
twelve months pay, and if the INJURY is
likely to be permanent he will receive
pension of one-half that granted to his
rank for the loss of limb or eye.
These pensions and gratuities, known
in gloomy pleasantly in the British army
as .sblood money! are additional to the
ordinary pensions to which officers are
entitled in the normal course of events.
The widows and children of officers are
not technically entitled to pensions; they
receive them as matter of grace, and
not of right. Take the case of a widow
and children of Colonel If he dies from
the effects Of a campaign the widow re-
ceiyes $3.50 and each child $10O per year. but
if he is killed in action or dies of his
would she draws ,000 and each child $120
annually. The scale for killed and died
Of wounds runs thus:-A Majors widow
draws 500, a Captains, $780, a subaltern's
$500, their children vary from $l25 to s175.

NO OPPOSITION TO STEWART.

Especial to ''The Jersey City News..l
PATERSON, July "a, OO-Congressman
H. Wayne Parker, of Newark, will be the
principal speaker at the Republican Con-
vention in this city Thursday, when a
candidate for Congress will be chosen for
the Fifth Congressional district. AT pres
ent it looks as If Congressman James
f. Stewart will be named, without oppo-
sition. for his fourth term, word com-
ing from Bergen county that Sheffield
Phelps, who was regarded for a time as
a candidate. had dropped out of the race
at the last minute.
Congressman Stewards earnest efforts
for river navigation have made him very
popular. He is the only man who ever
got dollar from the Government for
this work. Last year he secured an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for survey and
report of the engineers, and through his
efforts, the Committee on Rivers and
Harbors were brought from Washington
70 thls city for an inspection. They
strongly dntimated that at the next ses-
sion OF Congress they would vote enough
money to open up the river.

A MAN At LAST.
Brookda1e Girl Forgot to Look Un-

Especial to "The Jersey City News.'1
NEWARK, July "a, 1sOO.-Miss Lorraine
Baumeisler the rosy-cheeked helper of a
farmers wife in Passaic road, Brookdale,
near the Passaic county line, is twenty
two years old, and ever since she was
twelve each night after saying her prayers
and before blowing out her candle she has
looked under the bed to see If man was
there. Saturday night it. was so close in
her room she neglected to light the candle,
and she was so tired that she forgot to
look under the bed She was soon fast
asleep.
Shortly after midnight she was rudely
recalled from dreamland by something
touching her foot. Thinking 1t was her
Sister Annie, who was visiting her, she
said, Behave, Annie, and let me sleep,
for I am very tired
There was no response and Lorraine
went to sleep only to be again awakened;
this time by noise. under her bed.
She reached out her arm and was hor-
rified to feel the leg of a mans trousers.
That unwelcome visitor for whom she
had been patiently looking for SO many
years had come at last.
The young woman jumped and screamed
and then tainted away.
The entire household was aroused, as
was the neighhorhood.
The man leaped from a window on to
cowshed and was then heard running
toward the Morris Canal. Charles H.
Maggerty, neighbor, shot twice at the
fleeing rascal but failed to hit him.
Lorraine will resume her practice OF
looking underl the bed before retiring.

a small pond the water of which flows
from the hill sewers. 1t is about as foul
