We have recently had a law passed
prohibiting the sale of water out Of

THE STREAMS OF NEW JERSEY

IHE OF MEM DhoE 1.
The subject of sewage, in so far as
it relates to the pollution of streams,
will always appear to torment the
legislators until something definite is
done to remedy the situation, which
is becoming very serious. This is not
only true in New Jersey, but in all
parts of the country. In the matter
Of sanitation and making use of all
waste material, America is far Behind
some of the countries of Europe.
New Jersey is a small state, being,
geographically, a peninsula with the
Atlantic ocean, on one side and the
Delaware river on the other, the Della
ware bay bounding the state on the
south. 1t music necessarily follow,
therefore, that all streams flowing
within this state are small, for, be-
fore they can grow to any size, they
either reach the Atlantic or empty
into the Delaware.
But while the streams are small
the population is among the largest
and is rapidly increasing. This means
that there is not only a large and in
creasing amount of sewage TO be
disposed OF, but it also means that
more water for drinking purposes is
required. Up to the present time We
seem to have been able to, in many
instances, draw water for domestic
purposes out of the same streams
into which we empty our sewage
But the streams being small and the
population large and increasing, we
have about reached a point where a
distinction must be made. Either we
must give up the streams as a water
supply and allow them to become
huge open sewers, and seek elsewhere
for drinking water, or we must find
other ways OF ~disposing of the sew
age.
Ii is not very pleasing to think of
all the stream of the state being
turned into sewers to carry off the filth
OF Il teeming population. If put to
a popular vote, it is doubtful if there
is a person in. the State who would
favor such a proposition. Even if
the rivers and creeks are not needed
for a water supply for domestic pur-
poses, the health of the people would
not permit them to be used as sewers
altogether, and then, too, they are
needed for pleasure, recreation and
Neauty. 1t thus becomes evident that
ultimate use of New Jersey
kAns win be for furnishing water
people. This leaves the prob

good chance to collect. with the

New York, July All officers and
employees of the Pennsylvania railroad
company are to be compelled to part
with any investments which they
have in the shares of any coal produc-
ing company or any firm or any in
dividual mining, coal on any of the
lines of the Pennsylvania railroad
system. If the report of the special
investigation committee named to en-
quire into the charges of graft on
the Pennsylvania system is adopted.
This committee. which is composed
of G. Stuart Patterson, William H.
Barnes, Effingham B. Morris, Thomas
Dewitt Cuyler and Rudolph Ellis, has
completed a preliminary report in
which it admits that there is some
justification for criticism that have
been made of certain officers and en-
ployes. The members hold, however,
that in the early history of the COM
pany it was necessary for certain Off
GERS and employees to invest their own
or to personally assume finan-
cial obligations for the purpose of de-
Weeping industrial enterprises on the
line of the road, but they hold that
such a necessity is no longer possible.

SENSELESS USE
OF FIREWORKS
Judging by Statistics of Past
Fourth 100 Persons Will
Die Tomorrow.
HOW TO PREVENT THIS
FOLLOWING OF A FEW TIMELY
SUGGESTIONS WILL LESSEN
NUMBER OF INJURIES AND Al.
LEVIATE PAIN.

Judging by past years 100 human
beings will be killed outright on
Wednesday, over 200 will receive
wounds condemning them to slow tor
ture and perhaps death. while over
5000 will be crippsed, manned and
mutilated-because they are follow
ing a custom that is the outgrowth
of patriotism. but which has become
a senseless perversion. AS many per-
sons will be killed or injured July
4th in the United States as perished
at Moscow. almost as many as were
killer or injured in the San Francisco
earthquake-yet it will pass as patri-
otism. And the greater part of the
victims will be children. 100 children
will die of lockjaw N consequence of
accidents due to careless handling of
explosives. Last year the number of
such fatalities from tetanus. follow
ing the celebration was "a. In 1904 it
was los. and in 1903 there were Ais
deaths from this "4th of July dis
ease" This marked reduction is
as preventive.
Torpedoes Are Very Dangerous.
Dangerous injuries are inflicted by
torpedoes, which contain small guam
titles of illuminate OF mercury. a very
high explosive. Even the very small
torpedoes which the little girls throw
may be dangerous II whole package
of them should go OF at once. The
greatest danger about these are that
they are thrown upon the sidewalk
and the pebbles which they contain
can put out persons eye. Recognf-
ton of these facts has caused the
state of New York to prohibit the use
of torpedo making machines within
it's boundaries.
Fire crackers of all descriptions
contain the facilities for doing harm
and lasting injury and the use of
them should be characterized with
the greatest care.
Sbh0fS WEAR Moves
Many lives would be saved tomor-
row if the people would oblige their
children to wear gloves while setting
of firecrackers and other forms of
fireworks. Tetanus usually results
from injuries to the hand and lacera-
ton of the network of nerves in the
palms is especially likely to result in
lockjaw. When child or person does
get hurt the wound should be washed
with clear warm water as thoroughly
as possible, even though the opera
tion be painful, and peroxide of hy-
drogen, easily obtainable at any drug
store, should be applied freely. Then
a physician should be summoned.
Parents sometimes adopt the well
meant but mistaken plan Of applying
carbolic acid to the wounded part.
This ought never to be done.

Which was Thrown by Wheel of

Yesterday a street car in passing

hit a pebble about the size of a

sought the insurance agent. The
agent said that his company would
be compelled to pay for the glass
Notwithstanding that it was the most
peculiar accident the local Office had
ever recorded. The insurance COM

company to pay for the negligence,
of its street car. for not being more
