Billy Lynch Victim
Of Bathing Illness

A very sad and unfortunate story
comes about little Billy Lynch, who
formerly lived in Palisade with his
parents in Edgewood lane Billy and
his younger brother have been attend
ing military school in New Jersey,
and the other day the pupils went on
a hike, and while out located a cool
pool for swimming. Billy was among
the foremost to get into it and enjoy
the sport. From some cause unknown
the bath made Billy quite ill, and he
was sent home ill., He was duly ex-
amined and his heart found affected
by the physician in attendance He
was ordered given the best care, which,
of course, he had, but he did not i'm
prove, and at last reports Billy was
quite seriously Ill, being unable to lift
his head from his pillow. His recov-
cry which all hope for will be quite
Slow, it is thought.
Billy Lynch made himself locally ia
nous in Palisade during the war by
taking the premier honors selling war
stamps, beating all the boys in this
section of New Jersey. He won sew
eral prizes and appeared to have sort
of gift for this kind of work. 1t was
much appreciated. The heart of Pail
SADIE is much shocked at Billy's Illness
and the whole village hopes for his
speedy recovery.

Samuel Corker, go,
Dead of Old Age

Samuel Corker, ninety, father of
Samuel J. Corker of Anderson avenue,
Fort Lee, died on Monday last at mid
night. He had lived in Bergen county
rs years, having come to this country
when only fifteen years of age from
the island of st. Helena. He was
therefore a British subject until he
became early naturalized in America.
Coming over on his boyhood voyage to
his American Mecca, he had the ad-
venture of shipwreck off the Cuban
coast Young Corker and four COM
panions took to small boat and set
out to the land of Nowhere, and after
many days of hopeless watching and
when almost starved they drew lots to
see which one of the five should be
sacrificed for food for the other four.
Just when this act in the almost TRACE
dy was taking place a vessel hove in
sight and the entire party was saved.
Mr.. Corker had six children, three
girls and three boys, four still living,
two of each sex. He had many friends
all over the county, who appreciated
him for his honest and democratic
ways. The funeral took place on
Thursday morning, the interment be-
ing in Madonna Cemetery.

Phil-Har-Chee Sold
In Sidney, Australia

c. I. Phillips, president of the Phil
Har-Chee Piano Player Corporation of
New York, informs The Palisadian
that the fame of their attachment has
now spread around the world. Ricka
& Son, piano dealers of New York
received an order this week from Sid
ney, Australia, for a Phil-Har-Chee,
the first of the machines to be sold
abroad except those sold already in
Cuba and Brazil, South America. In
cidentally Mr.. Phillips says that the
factory is working to full capacity,
and that they cannot make deliveries
because they are so largely oversold.
They are beginning to make some de-
liveries, however, and soon will be
sweeping the country with the most
remarkable player piano electric at
tachment ever placed on the American
market, and all who have seen its
wonderful performances are convinced
that it must have a great future. The
outstanding feature of the Phil-Har-
Chez is that it will play any piano
roll ever made with expression, and
is sold at a price within the reach of
every family.

Teaneck Kisses
Schools President

The commencement exercises in
Teaneck schools last Wednesday eve-
ming were marred by most regretable
incident, following the announcement
by President William Beaumont, after
presenting the diplomas to the grad
yates that the citizens of Teaneck need
have no apprehension regarding the
teacher situation for next fall, as twen-
ty new ones had been secured to take
the places of those who had resigned,
leaving but four vacancies to fill.
No sooner had this statement been
made than the hall resounded with
Kisses and catcalls.
One teacher, taxpayer in Teaneck
approached President Beaumont after
the exercises and told him that he had
something to account for, having
neglected to tell the audience the
salaries the board is paying for the
new teachers.
1t was said that teachers with but
five months experience are to receive
81 300 a year, while the board refused
to agree to a minimum rate of 1920
for teachers of experience at present
in the boards employ.
President Beaumont refused to en-
gage in any argument with the teacher
and passed out of the building.
AS a consequence the audience dis
cussed the kissing incident instead of
according praise to the graduates and
others participating in the exercises.

T0HAVE BIG ANNUAL PICNIC June q:
Islands AND A GREAT DAY AIMED

Next Thursday will be the banner
day of the closing school year for the
boys and girls of the four grammar and
the high school of Cliffside Park.
Several years ago it was stated that
there would be no more school picnics,
but that day set aside each year for
the students jollity still remains on the
school calendar. This is the day that
the kiddies as we'll as the grown ups
enjoy the fine things that are avail
able at the pride of the Hudson"
Cliffside Park Borough enjoys the
distinction of being the only borough
of those in eastern Bergen county that
still continues to have a school picnic
each year.
1t can be safely said that even if the
Board of Education did not appro-
pirate money for this yearly event, the
people of the town would subscribe
enough money so that the children
would not miss this fine day of pleas
ure at the park.
AS in other years all Of the schools
student body will march to the park ac-
companied by the Palisade Amuse-
ment Park Band, The Liberty Band of
Cliffside Park and the st. Johns Ly-

Two Year Old Child
Killed by Train

Edna May Nelson, the two-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Thos. Mel
son, of so Court House place, Jersey
City, was instantly killed at Z 10 last
Wednesday evening by West Shore
passenger train within two blocks of
the Bergenfield depot. The accident
occurred near the home of E. ]. Mer-
wede, employed in the mechanical de-
partment of the Evening Record. He
was reading a paper on the porch
when the train blew for the station
and looking up, he saw the little girl
attempting to cross the tracks.
Mr.. Merwede rushed to the spot in
an effort to reach the child or warn her
of the danger, but the locomotive
struck her just as he was almost at
her side. Merwede gathered the life
less body from the ground and carried
it to the home of Mr. Swan, where
the child's mother was visiting.
Mr.. Merwede was surprised that the
engineer did not stop before reaching
the station and he went to the depot
agent, only to find that the engineer
hadn't even reported the case. This is
accepted as evidence that he did not
see the child on the track, but as Mr.
Merwede was able to see the little one
almost two blocks distant, and was
first attracted by the red hair ribbon
worn by the unfortunate tot, it seems
strange the engineer didn't see her
Record.
