''If had my way 1 would make the
alimony as high as possible as punish
ment for the trouble he has made this
woman" said Vice Chancellor Leaning,
in deciding the case of Mrs. Sarah Dilks,
of Hartford, against her husband, Frank
Dilks, Moorestown baker 1t was an
action for divorce brought on the ground
that Dilks had been guilty of misdemean-
or, Mrs. Jeanette Bishop being the woman
In the case. The Vice Chancellor granted
the divorce. there being no defence, and
finally fixed the alimony at 81 week.
Mrs. Dilks, who is a young woman
somewhat deaf, asserted that she went
away on March 20, 1901, and that when
she returned she found her husband and
the Bishop woman in bedroom at her
home.
Almost at the same time, Mrs. Dilks
averred that the affinity" went at her
with the declaration that she, the COM
plainant, had gone around with her hus-
band. As a result Mrs. Bishop asserted
she had perfect right to go with Dilks
and do what she pleased. Both the man
and woman on this occasion are alleged
to have been attired in just about enough
to permit the excuse that they wore
clothing.
Dilks did not appear, although he had
counsel. No denial was made, nor were
any Of the witnesses cross examined. He
was shown to have bakery business,
which brings him about 1926 week dur
ing summer time, but which is of little
value in winter Counsel for Mrs. Dilks
thought the alimony should be at least
$40 week, and 1t was then that the Vice
Chancellor spoke as above narrated, after
ward fixing the alimony at 81 week.

Typhoid Fever and the Water.

The appearance of typhoid fever in
Mount Holly-there being one or two
cases-has caused the usual agitation of
the water subject, and numerous reports
and rumors are in existence. A Burling-
ton paper made q statement with a scare
head that several cases have recently
developed" and then goes on to mention
one certain case and one "that has not yet
been determined" The same paper says
''Dr. Parsons, president of the Board of
Health, says there is not drop of water
In this town fit for drinking purposes "
This Is absolutely incorrect. DIR. Parsons
is not in the habit of making such sweep
ing statements at any time and has not
done so in this specific instance. He does
think there is need for the people to boil
their drinking water but he has urged this
for over year.
The Mount Holly Water Company is
doing all in its power to give the people of
Mount Holly pure drinking water, and
there is nothing to show at the present
time that the water is specially unfit for
the purpose it is furnished. Analyses
from time to time have shown varied
conditions, but there has not been recent
examination. The Water Company had
been sending samples to Trenton. but was
notified by the Analysing department that
1t would send an agent down to get sam
Piles when 1t wanted them.
Whatever the present condition of the
water at Mount Holly is 1t is no different
from what 1t has been In former years at
the same season. With the rains and
SHOWS it is natural that there should be a
disturbance in the creek, with washings
and overflows from the lands adjoining
the creek. The State Board of Health has
been busy trying to compel Mount Holly
to change its system of sewage in order to
protect the towns below US that do not
use the water of the creek or river, and it
might be well If the Board would expend
little of its energy in looking after the
conditions of the creek above Mount Holly.
At present there are two cases of typhoid
fever in Mount Holly, and it is well for
people to boil their drinking water, but
the fact remains that hundreds Of our
citizens have been drinking the water
supplied by the Water Company without
boiling 1t and without injurious results.

while the other man threw him to the
ground, injuring his knee quite badly.
One then held him while the other went
through his pockets and robbed him of

money he had, which, however, was only
some small change. The men then ran In
the direction of Cookstown.
Circulars distributed about town, on

prompter and better delivery service since

Ing the right of a driveway over land be-

RIDE ON A CROCODILE.
British Indian Has Thrilling Night
Experience.

While I was staying at place call
ed Sangli a short time ago a neigh
boring chief came to call. He re-
lated to me an occurrence which
took place in his state, and which,
by reason of it's amazing circum-
stances, 1 thought might be worthy
of few pages.
Imay state that the chief vouched
absolutely for the truth of the mans
deposition, and I think it will be
agreed that this unfortunate indi-
vidual was the victim of as remark
able an adventure as can well be
imagined.
It appears that the man in ques-
ton, a certain Pira bin Satu Kagale,
living at a place called Kawategoo-
lun, on the bank of the River Krish-
ma, in state of Miraj Senior "a native
state in the southern Maratha coun-
try, in British India,) went down to
fetch water from the river at sunset
on September rs last. For the four
days previously he had seen a croco-
die near the place where the water
is drawn-called in the Marathi Ian
guage "Panota'-but, with the char
acteristic unconcern of his kind, he
took no particular notice. On this
occasion, however, the crocodlle's
presence was made known to him IN
a somewhat sudden and uncomfort-
able manner.
Pira had drawn his water and was
standing in the river about thigh
deep, when he suddenly felt some
thing strike against one of his feet,
and was knocked over on his face.
Before he could realize what had hap
pened, the crocodile seized one of his
legs and proceeded to pull him under
water. After being taken in this
manner for about 40 yards, the
creature came to the surface again,
and the man was able to breathe
once more.
Bv this time he was half dead with
fright and nearly drowned, and must
have tainted. When he recovered
consciousness he found he was in
what he calls 'sthe crocodile's house, y
which appears to have been sort OF
cave under the river bank, with a
smooth, muddy bottom. He after
ward computed he had been uncon-
scious for a night and day before
his senses returned to him. Now, as
