BORROWING.

BORROWING.
Neither a borrower nor a lender
be- is a piece of sage advice that has
lost none of its cogency since Poloni-
us first gave it to Laertes. 1t still
"dulls the edge of husbandry."
Failure to observe the precept still
fills the heart with a sickening fear,
and has been the ruination of many
a man and woman.
One great inancier once expatiated
upon this bit of wisdom, in reply to
a young man who sought his coun-
sci. 1t was to the effect that while
borrowing money for business pur-
ing upon a career or in promoting
some approved plan, was frequently
justified, It was seldom justified TO
borrow money for personal ends, for
the qualification of personal desires.
1t is far better to saw up the money
and then spend it than to borrow and
spend, only to repent at leisure.
Yet there are companies in almost
every community who are doing
everything in their power to trap the
unwary, in the way of inducing men
and women to borrow money. They
have not appropriately been called
loan sharks" and are to be avoided
as one would a pest. S~peciously sug-
costing to their intended victim that
the loan may be secured secretly,
without anybody else knowing of it,
they get them into their grip, and
do not let go until they have sucked
from them the last dollar possible.
h prosecutor of our county has
warned them publicly. Yet they con
tinue flooding Jul communities with
their circulars. They are imprison-
ing them in New York, having after
a long fight secured the necessary
legislation. Similar treatment should
be accorded them here, since they
simply prey upon society, defantly
continuing rel when threatened
with prosecution.
And to add insult to injury, they
are seeking to make capital out of
the spirit Of Christmas, suggesting
that money may be borrowed with
which to purchase Christmas pres
ents. What a traveSty upon Christ
mas! Who wants a Christmas pres
ent purchased with borrowed money?
Is it any wonder that a Christmas
Giving Association has been formed,
emphasizing the thought that at no
time, at Christmas or at any other
time, should presents be given mere
ly to satisfy convention custom?
Thriftiness is a good American
virtue. Practice it, and you will have
enough laid by you in store against
the time of need and desire. But you
will never become rich by borrowing

HONEY BUNCH
DIVORCE CASE
In Manhattan Had Its Start
In T0ttenviIIe.

In the supreme court in Manhat-
haitian, before Supreme Court Judge
Dugro, there is being tried a di-
vorce action, which according to tes-
timony already taken, had its culmi-
nation at Wagner's road house in
Amboy avenue, Tottenville. The ac-
ton is between Mrs. Leah Lipman
and her husband, DR.. Joseph Lipman,
of No. 314 East Fiftieth street, Man
haitian.
DR.. Lipman, who is suing for di-
vorce, anne George Henken, a law
student, as the cause of the trouble.
In the testimony introduced, it is
said hal Mrs. Lipman sat on Hen
ken's lap all the evening and called
him honey bunch. This testimony
was given by Miss Leila Metz, of $50
Cleveland street, Brooklyn, who said
she regretted being called to testify
because she was a good friend of
Mrs. Lipman and her husband, Dr..
Lipman, of the above address. While
Mrs. Lipman was on the stand the
first day, declaring she was a victim
of a frame up she became hysterical
and the trial had to be halted. The
woman denied she had ever sat on
Henken's lap and called him Honey
bunch"
For an hour before adjournment
Mrs. Lipman was a witness. Reply
ing to questions of her counsel, John
F. Mcintyre, she denied all the
charges of wrongdoing concerning
which witnesses had testified the
preceding day. She said that she is
t~wenty-one years old and lives with
her parents at No. 727 Columbus ave-
nue.. Her baby, she said, was born
two years ago. She said that she
lived with her husband in the Fiji
tieth street address until February
last.
Did you ever allow George Hen
ken, the correspondent, to introduce
you as his wife in Wagner's road
house, at ~Tottenville, S. IL" asked
MIR. Mcintyre.
81 did not" answered Mrs. Lip
a
why did you happen to be in
Tottenville?"
Il wanted to go down to see u
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Winman,"
said Mrs. Lipman. MY husband was
too busy to go with me, so he asked
Mr.. Henken to accompany me there.
Mr.. Henken, at the request of my
husband, met me at South Ferry.
We stayed at Mr.. Winman's house
until after ten o'clock and missed the
last train back to St. George. Then
we went back to Mr.. Winman's house
and asked leave to stay there dur
ing the night. We were told that
they had no room, and we're referred
to the road house. We went there
and stayed for the night. I slept in
a room upstairs and Mr.. Henken
slept down stairs. Before going to
bed | called up DR.. Lipman and told
him where l was and that | had miss
ed the last train"

DIES. SUDDEN
Preparing to Attend His
Brother Funeral.

Professor Grin H. Hoag, a former
resident of Pleasant Plains, died sud
denly about GAS o'clock yesterday
morning at his home in Brentwood
Park, Williamsbridge, New York.
Mr.. Hoag, with his son., Leon Hatg,
had maze preparations to attend the
funeral of his brother in Philadel-
phia yesterday. He was about to
get up out of bed when he was
stricken and within three minutes
after he was taken i'll he was dead
Mr.. Hoag, who was hfty-fve years
old, had been ailing for the past
month, but nothing alarming was
thought of it. Professor Hoag's
brother, Walter Hoag, of Philadel-
phia, died in a Manhattan hospital
on Tuesday, after returning from
Bermuda few days before, where he
had been for his health. The fun
eral was yesterday and he with his
son were going to the funeral on an
early train. Heart disease is given
as the cause of death. Besides his
widow, who was Miss Ella Sprague,
of Pleasant Plains, he Is survived by
his son, Leon Hoag, and two broth
ers, John and Frank Hoag, of
Pleasant Plains. Professor Hoag,
who has been the principal of the
Williarmsbridge public school for the
past twelve years, at n time was a
teacher in the Port Richmond public
school, Staten Island. From the lat
ter place he was transferred to
Brooklyn and then to Williams
bridge.
Both deaths have cast a gloom
over Pleasant Plains, where the men
were born. Their mother, Mrs.
Hoag, died about a year ago and
their father, who was Nicholas Hoag,
passed away nineteen years ago, to
the day, on Thursday.
Mrs. Hoag is a sister of Postmas-
ter u. G. Sprague, and Mrs. George
d. Heck, of Pleasant Plains. Fun
eral services will be held at 5

AUTOGRAPH OF
FAMOUS MEN
Signed Declaration of Inde
pendance--LocaI Nan Owner

The autograph Of Button Gwinnett
one Of the signers of the Declaration
Of Independence, dated Savannah,
May 20, 1870, was sold at public auc-
ton in Philadelphia, recently, for
$4,000. There wer sc signers of
the declaration, and Judge John w.
Beekman, of this city holds the sig
natures of two of them-Francis
Hopkinson and Richard Stockton,
which he values very highly, but
says that he has no sentiment that
would deter him from accepting the
price for them as paid for the auto
graph of Gwinnett. The signature
of Richard Stockton is at the bottom
of a receipt dated 1861, which is now
yellow with age. The paper was
given the judges great grandfather,
Cornelius Ten Brock, by the fam
Gus signer of the declaration. The
autograph of Francis Hopkinson, he
also possesses which was given to
the same ancestor as a certificate of
a loan. the date OF the paper is
1880.
The signature of GWinnett, for
which the large sum was paid, was
attached to the will Of Joseph SAINT
ley, as a witness. 1t was a very rare
autograph, as the signer was later
killed in a duel with General Lach-
Ian Mcintosh.
1t was the highest price in a sale
of autographs, the collection of Ell
lott Danforth, late Treasurer of the
State of New York. The collection
was of unusual value
Henry Malcolm, of New York,
paid $3.50 for the signature OF
Thomas Lynch, Jr. on the title page
OF a history of England. 1t is de-
clared to be the rarest of all sigma
lures of the signers of the
able declaration. The purchaser de-
clared that he valued the signature
at more than $4,000, and was pre-
pared to pay for it.
The whole Sc signers' sigma
lures were sold for a total of $15,-
040.50. The collection was offered
as a whole on a bid of $4,000 to
start, but that was withdrawn, and
the autographs sold separately. A
signature of Joseph Hewes brought
$500, of John Penn, $40, of George
Wythe, $3.50, of Benjamin Franklin,
$40, and of Matthew Thornton,
which was purchased by Bamberg, of
Newark, $40.
