Sweet Sixteen HI.ess Washington Died
LONG Branch TetfTar I

Patience Hopping, the widow of Judge
James Hopping, of Middletown, n. j., who
Was 100 years old the 21st inst, was born
IN 1888, the year that preliminary treaty
of peace was signed in Paris. A procla-
nation to this effect was made to the
American army April 10, 1871 Patience
was then one month old. She came from
q stock of patriots-the Walls, Tiltons and
Willitts, and was cousin and schoolmate
of Jarrett d. Wall, famous in New Jersey
history. The names of these ancestors
are recorded in the register of officers and
men of New Jersey in the Revolutionary
war. Her near kindred fought at Trenton,
Princeton and Monmouth, and were in
most of the other important battles of the
war. Mrs. Hopping was named
Patience to commemorate the long period
of the war which had just been
completed when she was born. She lived
before General Washington delivered his
farewell address to the army. She was
five years of age when the constitution re-
placed the articles of confederation and
perpetual union, she was eight years old
when George Washington was chosen pres
ident of the United States and sixteen
years old when he died.
Mrs. Hopping has three surviving chill
dren, John, Edward and Mrs. Mary Leonard.
At the centennial celebration of her birth
day last week, there were present seventeen
grandchildren, twenty great-grandchildren
and two neutrality-suspicious.. She is
a little over ordinary height, and has a full
rounded figure. Her step is elastic, her
keen black eyes are scarcely dimmed, and
she has the strength of many women of
sixty. Her memory is very retentive, and
she is probably better informed in regard
to old houses and old families of Middle
town township than any other person in
Monmouth county.

Postage stamps.
Utica Herald.l

The green three-cent postage stamp,
which will go out of use on
and after the first day of next October,
will have had ''run' of thirteen years. 1t
succeeded the short-ived pale blue three
cent stamp, which succeeded the red. Post
age stamps were first issued by the gov
eminent in 1847, the initial issues being a
fve-cent stamp bearing the face of Frank
lin, and ten-cent stamp on which was a
likeness of Washington. The second Sc
ries, embracing five observation-disclosures,
three, five, ten, and twelve-was issued not
long afterwards. The one bore the face
of Franklin, the three that of Washington,
the five that of jefferson, and the ten and
twelve different views of Washington. Three
higher denominations were added in 1851,
a tweHty-four, thirty and ninety. The
thirty was given second view of Frank
lin, and the other two varied impressions
of Washington. A third issue was made
in 1861, without change of facial adorn-
ment. The first two-cent stamp was
printed in 1868, and bore the face of
Jackson. In 1856 the hfteen-c stamp,
first issued in 1861 and introduced espe-
cially for use in foreign correspondence,
was given the face of Lincoln. The
square stamp design, of which the blue
thrse was one, was invented in 1870, but
was tolerated only about one month, when
the designs now in use were substituted.
The faces on the stamps of that issue
were: Franklin's on the one, Jackson's on
the two, Washington's on the three. Lin
coins on the six. j efferson'5 on the ten, Clay's
on the twelve, Webster's ON the fifteen,
SCOTS on the twenty-four, Hamilton's
on the thirty, and Perry's (commodore) on
the ninety. At later date the face of
Stanton was put on the seven-cent stamp,
and the five was given Garfeld's IN 1882
AS, after Oct. 1, the two-cent stamp will be
the most used, and the three will disap-
pear, it will be fitting to give the new
stamp the face of WASHINGTON. The
stamps of the issue of 1S47 and 1851 are
obsolete. Those of subsequent issues are
SSH valid. In 1865, and again in 1874,
there was an issue of stamps designated
newspaper and periodical stamps. Those
of the former issue are now uncurrent.
They were three in number, and of five,
ten and twenty-five cents value. The
issues of 1874 were of twenty-four denomi-
nations of value ranging from two cents
to $50, the most expensive ones being for
use by news agents and publishers for for
Warding matter in bulk.

TWO MEN WITH FACES.

A Slight Mistake 6y Bartender arItO
Undertook to Read Human Character.
81 can always tell by the expression of
mans face whether he is a self-reIiant
man or not" said bartender in Nassau
street saloon to customer yesterday.
snow, that large man just coming in has
q will of his own, and the smaller one
with him could be guided by any one"
and he speculativly jingled two glasses
on the bar as the two gentlemen approach
ed. They were both well dressed, and
looked contented with their lot, The tall
one had, indeed, a face expressive of a
desire to have his own way, and was not
unlike Tug Wilson in appearance. His
smaller friend had an exceedingly mild
aspect. He seemed nervous, and not at
all, as the bartender had said, like a person
of strong will power. They both took
whisky, and the smaller one offered to pay
for it.
''Pay at the cashiers desk, sir" said the
bartender, politely, handing him two ten
cent checks. He looked at the cashiers
desk, which was some distance away, and,
suddenly losing his mild appearance,
said:
''PlI be hanged if 1 am going to be made
waiter of by any id bartender. I
came in to get drink, not to run of
errands.'
"For heavens sake, Jack, pay it at the
desk and don't make a scene,' said his
tall friend, who seemed to have lost his
pugilistic aspect as quickly as his friend
had got rid of his pacific one.
"rll be shot if do" said the smaller
man, his voice growing louder, ''Here;
will you take this or not? It's the last
time Of asking"
Il am not allowed to take money" said
the bartender.
Swell, hope, for your own sake, you
are allowed to give drinks for nothing"
was the reply, land the small man stalked
to the door, followed by his greatly sub
dued companion.
The bartender considered for 3 moment,
and then crawled over the bar and went
after them.
Il suppose must take it the way you
say" he said.
Then take it." said the small man
throwing two dimes on the floor. ''And
thank your stars that you can get it."
The bartender picked up the coins, gave
them TO the cashier, and went back to his
place.
Il made a mistake" he said conf
dentially, to his first customer. SIT is the
little one who has will of his own and
the big one whom any one could guide"

Fashion Notes

The leading bonnet is the gable-roof
poke.
Only outdoor costumes are made of
cachemere des hides.
Black Lace bonnets are restored to their
former popularity.
Old gold, shot and barred with blue, ap-
pears III many spring fabrics.
Smoky pinks, greens, blues, and various
neutralized tints are in high favor.
None but tall and slender women can
wear large square and large plaid fabrics.
Spanish laces are not so exclusively
fashionable this spring as they were last.
Blue and colors, shot with tints to pro-
duce opaIine effects, bid fair to be much
worn.
White cashmere serge dresses, WON with
out touch of color, are stylish for the
house.
In spite of the unfavorable weather, both
here and in Paris, spring costumes are be-
ing worn.
Cachemire des Indies is the high novelty
fabric for parts of or entire costumes and
entire visites.
Large squares and plaids will be made
up in combination with plain goods, show
ing the same base of color for the ground.
A Paris correspondent says that in an
hours walk in the Bots de Boulogne at the
fashionable hour, one sees more than a
hundred different new costumes.
The fob chain, or rather ribbon, with
seal or watch key attached to it by slide
or buckle, is now the only indication that
gentleman wears watch on any occa-
sion under gas light.
At the Louvre, Bon Marche, and other
leading Paris houses, on opening days
visite mantles have been shown that are
made of velvet gauzes, trimmed with rows
of lace, beads and chenille.
Tailor-made dresses grow in popular
favor. They will be worn for lawn tennis
and croquet parties for the house, the sea-
side and mountain use, and in all colors,
light and dark, white, black and tinted, ac-
cording to the occasion, time and place.
: The prevailing colors this spring lead
one to believe that the color artists who
designed them probably paid visit to the
kitchen and watched the cooks as they
prepared crushed strawberries and rasp-
berries, chopped carrots or beets, or
mashed pumpkins or squashes.

Il Takers Dam.

What is tinksrs dam? Why should tinker
want dam, and of what use is a dam to tink-
er, in or out of his profession?- Graphic.
As our esteemed contemporary is in pur-
suit of information, we will reply that a
tinker's dam is dam of dough or other
suitable material, constructed by tinker
to confne his molten solder to the business
at hand, and that, inasmuch as when a
tinker's dam has served its purpose it pos
sesses little or no commercial value, the
phrase has come to be a frequently used
and almost universally understood syno-
nyme for worthlessness.
