Members of the nobility in England
make great deal Of pocket money by
writing for the papers and magazines.
One of these writer's Is Lady Violet
Greville, and, according to her, the
American women are responsible for
the extravaganza Of English women
today.
Ten or fifteen years ago, she says,
the American women, fragile, beau
tiful creatures" appeared in England
wearing Paris gowns and beautifully
coiffured, and society succumbed to
them.
That was the end Of dinner dresses
that lasted for years and trousseau
gowns that were worn for lifetime.
Then was the beginning Of frowns
and discomfort, and debt on the part
of the Englishman, but the English
woman was patriotic-that's the way
Lady Violet puts it-and was not to
be outdone by the Yankee millionaires,
and she took to good gowns.-Pitts'

ALIMONY CEASES
At the Death of the Victim Who Has
to Paw It.

Justice Wilmot NJ. Smith of the Equity
Term of the Supreme Court, Brooklyn,
handed down a decision in which he holds
that a wife who has obtained an absolute
divorce from her husband, with allmony,
cannot enforce the payment of the ali
mony by his estate after his death.
The case under consideration by JUS
tice Smith and In which he made the rul-
ing was that of Annie E. Johns against
Henry W. Johns Jr., Emily L. Johns and
Robert H. Martin as executors of Henry
W. Johns.
The latter, prior to his death in 1898,
was president of the Johns Manufactur-
ing Company in New York. and was con-
sidered wealthy. He married Annie f.
Johns. plaintiff in this action, in 1868. In
1882 she obtained divorce from him. Mr..
Johns married again, and his former wife
In 1898 Mrs. Johns sued the executors of
Mr.. Johns estate to compel them to set
aside a sum of money to secure payment
of alimony during her lifetime.
Counsel for Mrs. Johns, at the trial be-
fore Justice Smith, cited the case of Co
lusha against Golusha decided by the
General Term of the Supreme Court i'll
1887, in which it was held that the statute
as interpreted. required the payment of
alimony to the plaintiff after death
Counsel in opposition cited the case of
Field against Field by the General Term
in 1885. in which the court held that ali
mony was an obligation resting upon the
husband and ending with his death
Justice Simth is of the opinion that the
case of Field against Field is correct, and
that aiimony can only be obtained dur
ing the husbands lifetime

Sheriff BIackington of SOcorro County,

is a man who will not stand any foolish
ness. He arrived here last saturday with
r. w. Gentry, a supposed desperate lfaln
robber. and after safely landing his man
in the City Prison he started out to have
q good time all by himself. He visited
several Market-street saloons, and failing
to meet any adventure he asked to be dl-
rected to some place where he couId at
least display his prowess with revolver.
One of .le men to whom he expressed
his desire advised him to visit notorious
