KEARNEY'SWA7ER
Conference Of Officials Yes
terday Of This City and
the Township.


An important conference was yester-
day held between the members of the
Street and Water Board and number
of officials of the Town of Kearny. This
city is supplying Kearny with water ar
the rate of 800 per million gallons. With
Harrison, Kearny consumes from two
million to three million gallons daily.
There have been recent indications that
led the Street and Water Board to fear
that it would lose Kearny as water
customer. As Jersey City pays to tho
East Jersey Water Company but $35
a million gallons, or a profit of S55 on
every million gallons, it can readily be
seen that the city cannot afford to lose
Kearny as customer. The New York
and New Jersey Water Company, which
is supplying Bayonne, gets its water
from the East Jersey Water Company.
1t has become ken bidder for the sup
plying of Kearny. 1t has offered some
inducements to Kearny, which must be
met by this city if it would hold Kearny.
Some of the city officials are inclined to
think that in fighting the New York and
New Jersey Company, they would be an
tagonizing the East Jersey Water Com
pany. 1t is also claimed that Kearny,
under fifteen year contract made in
1895, is really obliged to take water from
the East Jersey Water Company at $50
million gallons, and that the East Jer-
sey Water Company might enforce that
contract if Kearny refuses to make
contract with the New York and New
Jersey Water Company. On the other
hand, Jersey City owns the water mains
in Kearny, and should that town cut
loose from Jersey City the latter could
make things very unpleasant for Kearny
After Jersey City's new works are
completed 1t is claimed that in order to
supply kearny water must be sent back
from High Service through the old malns
across the meadows. The old water
mains. however. are in good condition.
and will be able to carry water from
this city to Kearny for many years to
come.
The subject was discussed in all its
phases at yesterdays conference, which
was entirely harmonious, and the Street
and Water Commissioners were assured
that if Kearny can continue to receive
its supply from this city it will do so.
The Kearny officials were predisposed in
favor of receiving Kearny's supply from
Jersey City.

A young nurse of my acquaintance;
was found early one morning uncon-
scious on the entry floor. Upon inquiry
the doctor learned that from Monday
morning till Thursday night she had
been without sleep or even enough
time off to battle and change her
clothes. OF course she was extremely
foolish to permit such thing on the
patients account as well as her own,
but it was her first .private case, and,
feeling shy about obtruding personal
wants In a time Of general stress, she
had relied on coffee and determination
to pull her through The stale joke,

the morning Of the second day the
nurse was still in charge No one had
given her night lunch, breakfast or

equal to taking her place or indeed

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

Most kinds of fruit trees thrive best
in rolling lands.
II mildew appear on the rosebushes,
dust with sulphur.
The garden must be mellow. rich and
kept clean. This is the inside secret of
successful gardening.
An application of hard wood ashes
will supply the soil with the potash so
necessary in growing small fruits.
Bone meal is an excellent garden
fertilizer, but it does not give immedi-
ate results unless dissolved with acid.
The longer an orchard is kept in cul.
tiyatlon and a crop taken off the great
er becomes the necessity of liberal ma
nuring.
The greater portion of the roots of
the grapevine grows near the surface.
For this reason the cultivation should
be shallow.
In the garden especially one of the
drawbacks TO the termination of seeds
is that they are often covered with too
much earth when planted. Usually
the smaller the seed the less covering
Is required.
