The Sewerage Question.

The one subject which is uppermost
in the minds of the mayor and Ooun-
Gil and the members of the Board of
Health of the Borough of Madison
at present, is the sewerage ques-
tions@The sewerage problem is the
one which the Board of Health of
Madison have been considering for
a number of years. Matters came
to a climax last winter, when
the legislature of this state passed
a bill compelling all places whose land
lay in the Passaic River watershed
from polluting the water of the Pas
sale River and were given until 1904,
in which to establish some means to
prevent the pollution of the water of
the above mentioned river. A COM
mittee was appointed by the Board of
Health of Madison, to look into the
matter of sewerage, which has visited
different places and inspected different
plants and disposal works. The Com
mon Council also appointed a COM
mittee to confer with the committee
of the Board of Health and at the
adjourned meeting of the Common
Council held Monday evening, Jan. 90,
Councilman B. Warren Burnett of the
committee to confer with the commit
tee of the Board of Health in the mat
ter of sewerage reported that they had
made a thorough examinati ton of the
matter and would recommend that the
borough establish plant of their
own for the publication of the sewer
age and ON motion the matter was
referred back to the committee with
power to employ an engineer to make
a map of the district of proposed out
fall, as an addition to the map already
in the possession of the borough, and
to obtain options on property thought
to be desirable and to take the neces-
sary steps to obain the legislation re-
quired to establish such a disposal
plant. The sewering of the Borough
of Madison has been and is at the
present badly needed. From time to
time the Board of Health of Madison
have had considerable difficulty from
different sources in the matter per-
tanning to sewerage, different remedies
have been tried such as the building
of culverts, cesspools and drains of
different descriptions.
There are altogether about % miles
of streets in the Borough of Madison,
and just what part will need to be
severed, is impossible to tell at
present. The disposal plant and the
altering beds is i'll the rear of the pro-
perty, upon which is situated the wa
ter and light plant of the Borough of
Madison,

Mr.. and Mrs. Francis Young Of Mai
opardIs Celebrate Their 5oth Needing
Anniversity.

It is given to- few to maintain the
sweetest and most sacred of human re-
lationships, unbroken and undisturbed
for full half century; and when health
and strength and divine care have been
given in such measure as to preserve that
relationship, and friends and relations
have been gathered to celebrate the an
niversary that marks its continuance, it
is atime for rejoicing and congratulation.
AS golden sunsets are beauteous in the
afternoon of the day. SO golden weddings
are beauteous in the afternoon OF life.
Such rare occasion as this was cele-
brated under the happiest auspices In

home of Francis Young, and few hap
pier events have occurred in the social
life of Hanover township, renowned as
it is for the longevity of its residents.
On January 25, 1861, Mr.. Young
brought his bride, Miss Mary Shipman,
to the home in which the anniversary
was celebrated and in which they have
lived together for these fifty years.

from youth through maturity, with
their household growing up about them,
they have made their overtures of friend
ship, lavishly extending their warm hos
pitality throughout the community and
gathering about themselves host OF
friends. This has always been one OF
the homes which one delights to enter,
and the appreciation of this hospitality
was attested by the large assembly pres
emit at the anniversary.
Mr.. and Mrs. Young received their
guests, assisted by their four daughters,
Mrs H. o. Shelley and the Misses
Young, and their only gTaudchild, Miss
Marie Shelley, accepting the hearty and
sincere expressions of congratulation in
the happy spirit of those who never
grow old with the lapse of years. The
house was beautifully decorated with
cut flowers throughout. A bounteous
collation. was served by Day.

his 70 years. Springing from the good

1t would seem, for an old man sick
with disease, very exhausting to the

ton Of between two and three quarts
of blood, the administration of about
20 grains of calomel and grains of
tartar emetic and an injection, with ex-
ternal application of blister. And yet
so strong was Washington's constitu-
ton that he survived this treatment for
