WOMAN INSPECTOR.

Miss Mary F. Vanleer, recently ap-
pointed deputy factory inspector, and
the first woman to be given the posi-
ton in this state, is the daughter of the
late Isaac Vanleer. She was born on
her fathers farm near Deerfield, Cum
berland county, graduated at the Tren-
ton Normal school, and was a room
mate of Mrs. Brartley Dubois, of near
Elmer, while attending that school.
She is a half sister to H. S. Vanleer,
the well known creamery and ice cream
man of Alloway. She resided at Cam
den for a number of years with hel
mother. She spent sometime in Mon
rovia, Liberia, in South Africa, but
repeated attacks of African fever pre-.
vented her from remaining there.

HEWITT'S STORE AT ANGLE
SEA BURNED.

The building at the corner of First
and Pennsylvania n owned by
Councilman and Light House Keeper
Freezing H. Hewitt was. burned yes
terday afternoon and entirely con
sumed in a little over two hours. The
fire was discovered a little before two
O'Clock by Bert Hughes, an occupant
of the house, when flames appeared
around the chimney in the second
story. He ran over to the light house
and notified Mr.. Hewitt and the fire
company Don gathered. A very high
wind from the southwest was blowing
at the time and tanning the flames
made such Roadway that the firemen
were unable to do very little. The
firemen had about 400 feet of hose out
and attached to the fire plugs, but fol
some reason the stream did not flow
with the force it should. 1t was
thought that there Vas enough water
in the stand pipe, and the engine al
the waterworks started to pumping al
once. Only a very few articles from
the building were saved. A part of the
first floor of the building vas used by
Mrs. Hewitt as a grocery store, and the
balance of the house was occupied by
Borough Marshal James Chad wick
Mr.. and Mrs. Allie Rhodes and Mr..
and Mrs. Bert Hughes. Mrs. Rhodes
was away at the time visiting at Heis.
l%erville. The house was insured, but
upon the household goods of the ten
ants there is said to be no insurance.
Much sympathy is felt for Mr.. Chad
wick and the other two families who
were burned out of house and home,
destroying, perhaps, all they had in
the world. Kind neighbors are now
giving them shelter until arrangements
can be made for the future.

Anglesea Borough Council.

The Anglesea Borough Council met
in regular session on Thursday night of
last week, Mayor Hilton and Council
men Hewitt, Hoffman and Young were
present, a was also clerk Shivers.
Solicitor Voorhees, came in later. The
minutes of the last meeting were APP
proved as read. Collector Young's
report on the financial condition of the
borough was as follows:

Senator Cresse's letter in regard to
advertising Anglesea at the st. Louis
Exposition was referred to the printing
committee. A letter from the Delaware
and Atlantic Telephone Company in
reference to their assessment was re-
ferred to the finance committee for adj
justment. Two notes for $500 each due
at the Marine National Bank we're
ordered paid. The action of Collector
Young in making a reduction for
prompt payment in the taxes of Lev
erett Newcomb and Henry H. Ottens
was approved by Council. 1t was re-
ported to Council that there was yet
about n thousand dollars due the Dor
ough from back taxes under the pro-
ceedings of the Martin act and for which
Commissioners of Adjustment were
appointed by the Circuit Court a few
years ago. Solicitor Voorhees, explained
to Council the legal status of the matter
and recommended that the proceedings
incident to q public sale of the lots be
deferred for the present, as he thought
that certain foreclosure proceedings o
being instituted by parties holding
mortgages on the property upon which
taxes were unpaid would tend to save
to the borough considerable expense
and time in the service of notice upon
the delinquents or those holding mort
cages or having an equity in the pro-
perty. Council was very anxious, how
ever, that proceedings should commence
at once in order that the property be
brought to sale at an early a date as
possible, and by motion directed the
S,licitor to proceed to make the sale.
Under the law it is the duty of the Col
lector to present to the Circuit Court a
statement Of the taxes remaining due
as assessed by the Commissioners;
whereupon the Court shall order the
Collector to make the sale. Prof. Hoff-
man, principal of the Anglesea public
school, was appointed to audit the col
lector's books.
Councilman Young, a member of the
nance committee, reported in writing
recommending that the bank accounts
of the borough remain as they are, as
the committee thought it to be to the
best interests of the borough to do so.
The borough has two bank accounts,
one at the Tradesmens Bank of Vine
land and n at the Marine National
Bank of Wildwood. The report was
accepted. The fire company petitioned
Council for an appropriation of 5000 for
the coming year for the purpose of buy
ing new fire apparatus. 1t was referred
to the e Council to be organized in
March. Council adjourned to meet
again on Thursday evening, Feb. 4th.

Wells IN UNIVERSAL VOGUE.
ChiTon and TuIle Are Popular for
the Face and Draperies
ON the Hat.

Wells may be said to be the universal
vogue with fashionable women at pres
ent, and in those of the European coun-
tries from which we draw advices of
the mode and supplies of millinery
wares. The veilings continue to be of
chiffon and tulle-the former variously
worn over the face, and used for drap-
cry on hats-the latter worn exclu-
siveiy over the face. Whether of one
or the other gossamer tissue, they are
this season mostly in black and white.
or in gray effects of black and white,
or of white and black, the fancy of the
existing mode seeming not much to
fav~r fancy colors in these tissues, saws
the Millinery Trade Review. Wafer
spots and the other figures of velvet
in black and white relieve the veilings
both of chiffon and tuIle, while chiffon
gOssamers show in some cases embroi-
derry and other enrichments of design
in manufacture, and those of tulle
threading-traceries, seeding and other
interesting conceits, of design, tending
to their beautifying effect upon their
fair wearers.
The Elsie" veil, which has fancifulA
bordering at the lower edge, and is
worn to fall loosely, after the man
ner of the wells of lace of two score
years ago, or in the days of our moth
ers, is jnst now much affected for the
beauty veil; although seen mostly in
chiffon, printing on tufle is among the
new ideas to give variety to the manu-
facture for yelling purposes, and large
open meshings vary the close of ma
lines weaves. When the range in price
for wells, from IL cents to $l2, is quoted
the range in variety and quality OF
manufacture can be imagined.

QUEER NATURAL EFFIGIEs.
Remarkable Figure Of whale High
I'm the Coast Range Mountains
of CALIFORNIA;.

AT Conchise,i Ariz., the passenger on
the Southern Pacific railroad is shown
wonderful face, formed by the sum-
init of a mountain range. It is called
the face of Sleeping !Conchise, a fam
Gus Indian chief, and is said to be held
in more or less reverence by the Indians
who have seen it. The profile is re-
markable, doubtless several miles in
length, and from certain localities a
perfect face gazing upward with won
derful dignity.
In almost every portion of the coun-
try strange faces or forms are found.
but none are more remarkable than
the stone whale, writes Charles r.
Hilder, in Scientific American. Nearly
20 years ago the writer heard of this
natural curiosity, his informant urg-
ing him to go and see the whale high
in the mountains. Vertebrae of these
huge creatures were not uncommon
on the summit of the Coast Range
mountains, and the writer had seen the
skeleton of whale dug into when a
street was being opened in the city of
Los Angeles; indeed, remains of these
animals were found in various portions
of the state, hence the story of the
whale in the mountains did not result
in long trip at that time, ard the
natural effigy was not seen until many
years after, when making a coaching
trip from Los Angeles to Santa Bar
bara. One afternoon, after crossing
a little stream in Ventura the coach
rolled out into country road and
came to standstill by the side of the
whale, an effigy so remarkable that it
was easily seen how the early natives
were attracted by it and had legends
referring to it. The whale is q con-
spicuous landmark, and stands on the
Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Bar
bara highway, pointing to the east and
attracting the notice of all who pass
that way.

-Four days are often chosen when

days is that there may not be too
many people present at one time. The
difficulty is that each one of the

will be dull, and the fourth so crowd
ed as to be unbearable. With long
