The Stillman family is one of the

Stillman is the daughter of James

ter. whom Mr.. Potter divorced in 1900
after she went on the stage Her
father was nephew Of the late Bishop
Henry &. Potter.
Extraordinary attempts have been
made by distinguished lawyers on each
side to keep the present actions secret
The actions were started outside New
York city and advantage was taken of
the law which permits counsel TO re-
frain from filing complaints and nm
swers until the actions are completed
and judgments rendered.
Judge Confirms Rumors
Rumors Of the proceedings have per.
sisted, however. and yesterday when
Supreme Court Justice MOrsChauer. "
the Second Judicial Department. Ninth
district. was asked about the matter in
the White Plains courthouse he vrri
fed the report that the actions have
been started.
Justice MorsChaucr said he had ap.

Of the charges made, it appeared prob

would be one Gf the most bitterly
fought in the history of New York If it
Is permitted to go to trial. Apparently
1t involves not only the decree of di
vorcc but the right Of the child known
as Guy Stilman. who was born in
1918. to inherit a great fortune.
An element Of mystery comes into
the story At this point in the person
of Guy StillmNn. The Social Register
gives the names Of the children Of Mr..
and Mrs. Stillman as Anne and James.
The StilmanS have II summer camp
at Three Rivers. Quebec. which is be-
licved to fgur, in the testimony. aS
French Canadians from Quebec have
appeared at one of the hearings held
in Poughkeopsic. 1t is reported that
Indian guides from the Stilman's camp
are also under subpoena.
The StillmanS were married June .,
1901. after long courtShip. IN the
course of which their engagement was

the fact that this or that is the "larg-
est and best in the state" as, for in
stance, the largest and best equipped
garage, drug store, jewellery store,
picture show. department store, court
house, postoffice, and SO on. But let's
hope we haven't the largest and best
crop of gossipers, men and women.
On the square. we know of some
people who gossip every chance they
get during their conscious hours and
we wouldn't be bit surprise IL they
gossiped in their sleep.
It's detestible habit, isn't it? And
If the people indulging only knew
how detestible they are to others who
do not believe in it, how quick they'd
be to stop it..
All of which reminds us we were
going to write an editorial about a
certain young man here who recently
made a remark concerning certain
young girl of this city. We had 1t
all figured out what to say and every
thing, but other things came up that
claimed attention.
There are three guesses available
concerning that young man and his
One is that he has fallen
into a gossip rut and can't get out of
1t and another is that he's victim of
disappointment. Maybe he was right.
But in any event he deserved a good
stiff punch where it would do the
most good. His hearers should have
openly showed their disgust, if not
by sharp words. at least by a disap-
proving look on their faces.
At any rate he is dirty dog in our
opinion and we hope he reads this.

NOW WE DO
NEED HELP

Our poor lonesome lock of hair IL
sure to 60 this time, for in the I'm
Years Gone By" column next page)
we've mentioned some ancient news
OF school honor rolls which tips OFF
some ladies' ages. But to relieve the
situation this news from the files OF
twenty-five years ago shows some OF
our prominent male citizens are no
longer chicken-Cliff Robins and
Harry Warren, for instance.
Mode of thought has changed In
ten years, too, the files show, for In
those days news of the saloons was
of prime importance. While then the
saloon business was an honorable
vocation, note the changed thought
now. The world does move and people
do change their opinions.
But seriously, in publishing this
column that recalls old times, at the
request of old-timers themselves,
we want people to know there is no
desire to hold others up to scorn or
disgrace. We censor names and do
not publish items which might reflect
wrong on anyone. If there are any
people of that time who object to hav-
ing their names appear in this col
umn a word spoken to this editor is
sufficient. It's all meant to recall
IL 4f
and to give newcomers an insight of
conditions here "in the good old days"
and we wouldn't hurt anyone's feel
ings II we knew it.
This offer of keeping names and
facts out of the paper, however,
doesn't go when news of today is con-
cerned. People have to depend upon
for their information and
It Is not only the business but the |
duty OF newspaper publishers to give
the public those facts, IL the incidents |
are of public nature. And this rule
The Silver State intends to adhere to
closely.
But what is meant is that dfsgraces
of years ago will not be paraded be-
fore the public now. What is past is
gone. We believe 1t is not what
man used to be that counts, but what
he is today. Most everybody makes
mistakes sometime or other during
their lives.

THOSE PARTIES
AT NDERMITT

Did you read those accounts of par
ties at McDermitt? Didn't they give
you sense of wonderful hospitality?
That's the way to get along, say we;
everybody friends and everybody get
ting all the JOY out of life possible.
We're only here once, anyhow.
McDermitt has long had reputa-
ton for being the most hospitable
town on the map and it looks as
though the reputation is being lived
up to. McDermitt is a little place
on the Nevada-Oregon line. north of
Winnemucca, and is frontier" if
there is any territory fitting that de-
scription as generally understood.
The writer has never visited Nc
Dermitt, though he intends to some
day. But we feel an affinity for the
place that is almost inexpressible.
Often the thought has occurred that
man or woman from McDermitt can
be spotted anywhere, because they've
got smile and hand shake that are
different.
What is 1t that makes McDermitt
the town that 1t must be? Is 1t the
parties given, where everybody has
the best time possible, and "let go"
OF their dignity? Is it that everyone
has a good word for the other fellow
and encouragement? That doesn't
seem probable. but it's possible. If
the secret could be learned it would
surely be worth while to apply it
| elsewhere.
All of the people residing in towns
and communities north CT Winnie

being nice to the other fellow, as wit
ness reports coming frequently from
Paradise and Oravada. 1t must be

like that.
