A TOUCH OF WHITE.

1t Is Rumored That After BIT No Collar
wm ss Complete without Line of
White.
The advance guard Of the white
collar arrived some time ago in the
little lace-trimmed muslin tabs, and
the universal resumption of the old
fashioned linen collar itself seems
imminent.
II has already encircled necks illus
tIious in the realm of fashion, and it
may be taken for granted that it has
come to stay. One does not need to
be venerable to remember the time
when a gown ungarnished by line
of white at the throat was regarded
as incomplete, and to be seen in a
negligee equal to that of the collar
less man to-day.
= A touch of white about the throat
Is universally becoming, and when
the ediet of banishment was first de-
creed women rebelled and vowed
they would never succumb to fash
ion SO ugly.
But it is a we1l-known fact, SO in
explieable otherwise that psycholo
gical influence must be inferred, thai
whatever is the fashion looks well
and whatever ceases to be the fash
on looks ugly regardless of intrinsi
merits.

ANallon E.oapn Elom DROWNING.

Levi Howell, of Dingman's Ferry,
took an involuntary bath in the river
at that place last Monday evening.
He had been over to West Van AUX
ems after some sheep skins, and on
his return thinking to shorten his
walk did not follow the road but at
tempted to take a near cut, and
walked into an open space in the ice.
The skins served to buoy him up un-
til his cries for help attracted the at
tention of p. A. L. Quick and Mr..
Van Auken, who pushed a ladder out
to him, to which he clung and so
wass rescued from his perilous sit
uation. He was quite exhausted
and would have sunk in very short
time beneath the icy waters, had not
timely aid been rendered. His de-
fective eyesight was probably the
cause of his mistaking the open wa
ter for black ice.

Is supposed to Be Drowned !.

1t is thought possible that the man
Heater who lived near the Brick
House in Montague N. ]. and whose
wife ran away from him leaving four
small children, who afterward de-
serted the children himself and left
them to the tender mercies of the
poor masters, may have become food
for bass in the Delaware river. He
left his house in company with a
faithful dog, and it is supposed may
have attempted to cross the ice near
the Detrick farm in Dingman town
ship to go to his fathers home in
Lehman. The dog returned home
the same day appearing as if he had
been in the water, and Heater has
not since been seen or heard Of.
The children have been placed in the
Sussex county poorhouse by the au-
thorities. z.

1t is a good thing the pickerel sea-
son closes so soon, for there is no
telling what kind of fish stories
would be given TO a trusting and
confiding public. Ed. Mott will
have to look to his laurels to beat
the latest fish yarn that appeared
in the Milford Dispatch. Catching
two pickerel on one hook, one hold
ing fast to the others tail, is really
very good, and simply shows how
eager the fish are to be taken. The
story should give the Promiaed Land
Pond big, big boom, and the orr
ginator of that story should enter

OBITUARY.
JOHN VICTOR o U1oK.

John Victor Quick, an aged and
highly respected resident of this Dor
ough, died at his home early Thurs
day mornin g Feb. 27, of paralysis.
For sometime he has been in failing
health and has suffered number of
slight shocks, each one leaving him
in more enfeebled condition. He
was born at Quicktown, July 1st, 1922
and was the son of Roger and Maria
Lousia (Aarts) Quick. He learned
the trade of blacksmithing in early
life and for many years carried on
the business in Milford, working for
John M. Heller, and was considered
one Of the most expert workmen in
this village. Some 22 years ago he
purchased farm in New Jersey op-
posite Milford, where he success
fully engaged in the business of
raising fruits and vegetables for
this market. Failing health in
duced him to relinquish his farm
and he removed to this borough
about one year ago. He was noted
far and wide as skillful hunter,
trapper and fisherman. He was a
kind, affectiJnate husband and
father and a warm and steadfast
friend. His familiar face and cor
dial greeting will be greatly missed.
He is survived by his widow, who
was a daughter of Cornelius Court
right of Delaware township, and
one son, George Roger Quick, and
one daughter, Miranda s., wife of
Frank Dewitt.
The funeral will take place from
the residence of his son Saturday
| (to-morrow) at p. m.

cover Back Ailmony.
Feb. 21 Mrs. Edith Allen of Phil
adelphia, who obtained divorce
from Vanderbilt Allen in 1887
brought action to-day to recover
$500 back alimony. She was to re-
ceive $1,000 a year. Allen is in receipt
of $2400, year, the income of a trust
fund of $4,000. Justice Truax de-
MED a motion to dismiss the com
plant.
Mrs. Allen said that Mr.. Allen had
paid her nearly $4,000, but that she
had received nothing since 1899.
Allen isAa grandson of Commodore
Vanderbilt. He married for the
third time in ts92.-Philadelphia
Press.
We print the above to correct the
statement made in the newspapers
that the difficulty is with Col Allen s
present wife who was Miss Edith
Mott.
This impression is totally un-
founded, and probably arises from
the fact that the wife bringing the
suit, from whom he was divorced, is
also named Edith.
So far as we know and believe the
relation between the colonel and his
present wife has always been har-
monious and pleasant and we regret
that any reflection to the contrary
should have been cast ON so estima-
bic a woman as Mrs. Edith Mott
Allen.

TO the Editor: The above article
was clipped from the News and OBJ
server Of the 9th. Your correspondent
mistakes facts. The facts are these:
The still was first discovered on Sun
day, April the Goth, no person at it. On
Sunday, May the 3rd, it was again dis
covered in full operation, the operator,
however, fed. This was late in the
evening, those who discovered it re-
ported it, and on Monday quite a crowd
went to look at it, but it was gone. A
search for it, however, discovered it
about half mile back in the woods. /
was notified and Immediately went to
the place arrived there on Thursday,
May the 18th, the day before your spe-
cial was sent. / carried with me q. S.
Deputy Marshall, r. b. Blackledge.
On the night of the 18th, the still was
stolen fro us. Tt was then looked up
in the barn of Mr.. Henry Nixon, his
barn door was taken from the hinges
and the still stolen. We found it a.
gain Saturday morning, the 9th.
The still was not found on the 18th
as stated, nor was it discovered by two
men hunting, and so much Of the arti-
n 4, ,~.G4s E,aI
been in that section for five years is
incorrect.

survey of his still and registered his
still in service in September, 1895, and
visited his still monthly until it was
registered out of use, and / registered
it out of use in November, 1896 Dur
ing that time twice / have been within
two or three miles Of the identical spot
where the still was found, although
there has been no special necessity
for my going in that immediate neigh
borhood, as there were no liquor deal
ers in that section, it being a dry or
prohibition section.
Why your informant should want to
write incorrect statements for publi-
cation when it was just as easy to
have written the truth, / cannot see. i
write this that the impression that he
is trying to get abroad in the land that
the revenue officers under the Demo-
cratic administration are not as vigil
ant as those under former administra-
tions is not true.
