The coats and cloaks always are made

cloths are equally fashionable, and the
high colors are preferred. Fur is. much
used as a trimming, and sable and mink

OLDEST Man Am New > Jersey.

Noah Raby, an inmate of the Piscata-
way Poor Farm, near New Brunswick,
celebrated his one hundred and twenty
fourth birthday on Wednesday. Henry G..
Hummer, overseer of the farm, has known
the mar for more than fifty years, and is
firm in the belief that Raby is far past
the century point. As he sits in an old
fashioned armchair before tho fire in Mr..
Hummer's house the old man looks every
bit a centenarian.
"Uncle Noah" is a short and much
bent. Sometimes his eyes sparkle, but
they are sightless, as he became blind
about ten years ago. Although his shout
ders are somew hat contracted, the muscles
of his legs ard his arms are as firm as
they were thirty years ago. He is tooth
less, and in talking he gives vent to a
weird whistling noise. But his voice is
strong and clear, and his laugh is hearty
His accent is of the south.
He has enjoyed excellent health since
he was eighteen years old, when he re-
covered from q serious illness. His mind
is wonderfully alert, and he is quick at
replying to any question. Boiled fish or
| rice, or some bread and milk constitute
the old mans simple diet. He weighs
only about n hundred pounds, although
at his best he seldom averaged more than
100. He says he was born al Eatontown,
Gates county, N. c.. on April /, 1772. He
also says he heard Washington speak in
Norfolk, Va. At that time Raby was a
sailor in the United States Navy.
