and that there is room for another
great city on the map of the Middle
Atlantic seaboard. - Newark Adver-
tiser,
Lot owners are protesting against
the manner of removal of bodies from
the Seventh Day Baptist Church
cemetery in Plainfield, which was re-
Gently sold to the city as a site for a
new high school, and the work of re-
moving the bodies was commenced
the first of this week Many of the
owners object to the method of
removal, and this has compelled the
church authorities to transfer the
work to the owners themselves.
Undertakes will now do the work
Paterson is to attack the constitu-
tionality of the trunk sewer act just
as soon as the Sewer Commission per-
forms some act that will furnish a pre-
text for taking the matter into court.
That is likely to be the advertisement
to sell the bonds that are to be issued
to raise money to carry on the work.
Such large interests are involved that
it will doubtless be several years be-
fore the way is cleared to go on with
the work, even if the act is upheld.
In the meantime a much better and
cheaper scheme may be discovered

"Uncle Dave" Hull, of Blairstown, has
got to employ stenographer and type
writer or get married. He recently
advertised for housekeeper whom he
might take into life partnership if her
housekeeping suited him. Nearly all
of the applicants made requests for
his photograph and to supply the sud-
den demand Dave was obliged to make
special appointment with the local
photographer. In return he says he
has received so many pictures that the
old copper-clasped family album is
bursting. For time he kept up a
regular correspondence with a likely
young woman in Brooklyn, but was
afraid she might be little too gay for
him, and the one at present in most
favor lives at Lambertville. He is
going down to see her in short time.

People are beginning to wonder why
something does not move in the direc-
tion of the much talked of Tuberculo-
sis Sanitarium, which the State pro-
poses to build at Glen Gardner. Moth
ing has been done except a little pre-
liminary surveying, although the last
legislature appropriated three hundred
thousand dollars for buildings. If it
is good thing and is needed by the
suffering consumptives of the State,
and the money is in hand, we can't
see why more active move in the
of getting prepared to re-
ceive the suffering humanity is not
made. Indeed does the beginning
move slowly, and if it is any sign it is
quite likely that the first inmate of
the Sanitarium is yet to be born
Hunterdon Democrat.
A branch of the fishermen's union
was organized in Long Branch Tues
day. Secretary Mcdonald was pres
emit and explained the objects of the
Forty-nine fishermen
have joined the organization up to
to-day. The subject of grievances
was taken up and each member given
an opportunity to voice his senti-
ments. The long hours from 3 a. m.
to or p. M, and the manner of
living, were cause for complaint,
likewise the small wages they re-
,eive. The union will demand an

1ition of their living quarters by the
BOARD of health and make every effort
TO improve their surroundings. The
hiring of inexperienced men will be
at meeting to be held
soon. All the fishermen along the
coast will be asked to join the new
lnion, which will hold it's meetings

Farmers in Orange county, New
York, and Sussex county, New Jersey,
Ire both puzzled and alarmed by a
Orange disease among cattle in those
counties. 1t first made its appear
lnce near Montgomery. Some weeks
ago several COWS on the farm of James
Decker became suddenly ill. After
two deaths had occurred, the State
Veterinarian was summoned. He pro-
nounced the ailment hydrophobia and
several of the herd, but
they died. No further trouble was
until within the last few
days, when the dairy of Emmett Grid
ley suddenly developed symptoms of
the same disease, and now another
dairy located some distance from the
Gridley farm has lost many animals
by the disease. Residents of the sec
tion are unable to account for the
strange malady and are disposed to
differ with the State official when he
diagnoses the case as hydrophobia, de-
claring there is no possible way by
which the afflicted animals could have
the disease. The number
Of cattle which have already died of
the disease and the condition of others
renders the situation serious.
