Stillman's Counsel
Fights Alimony as
Being Excessive

New York Jan. 13.--JamcS A. sim
man today opposed the application of
Mrs. Anne L. Stillman for the record
breaking alimony of $4,000 year on
the ground that in his opinion an an
nuity of $4,000 he was now paying
her Voluntarily was reasonable and
sufficient. A representative of Niclo,
Anable. Lindsay & Sullivan submitted
an affidavit made by Cornelius J. Sulli-
van in Mr.. Stilman's behalf when a
hearing on the application GENE up
before Supreme Court Justice Nor
chauser in Poushkecpsie.
Mr.. Sullivan's affidavit made it clear
that Mr.. Stillman was not opposing
the application on the ground of ina
bility to pay, although denying that
his income was 100000 cor any
thing like that sum-" The bankers
gross income during the pest year was
less than $4,000. according to Mr..
Sullivans deposition.
In submitting the papers in behalf Of
Mrs. Stillman, John +. Brennan, her at
tornoy. said to the court:
1--WE arc now here as winners Two
years ago we made a motion of this
kind and the other side disputed ey-
crything but my client got $500 a
month. We now ask $4,000. and we
submit proof that we are entitled to
that amount"
Mrs. Stillman. it was recalled. re-
ccivcd $4,000 a year alimony until the
time Justice Morschauser acted on the
report made by Daniel J. Gleason. The
present application. was made pending
the appeal taken II Mr.. stllman from
the victory won by~NIrs. Stillman. Mrs.
Stlllman based her plea for a $4,000
increase in alimony on gifts ltotalling
SSoo.ooo which she alleged her hus-
pand had made to FLO" Leeds. the
chorus girl correspondent in the suit
and on information ard belief that tho
former president of the National CITY
sank had an annual income of not less
than 100000.

Sunday Great Day
For Sport Dev0tees
At GaneStOn Park

Fully 300 people enjoyed winter
sports in one form or another at
Ganneston Park, Sunday afternoon.
Possibly fifty others scaled the
heights of the Muster Field in order
to enjoy the thrill Of rapid descent
afforded there. Four-fifths of these
sports enthusiasts wore either snow
shoes or skis and girls in knickers
with rosy cheeks tinted with nature S
own color added attractiveness to
the scene. There were toboggan
to watch, it must have been doubly
thrilling to have participated in one
of those quick descents with it's trail
OF flying snow.
Many novices on skis were in evil
dence. some of them making their
very first attempt at ski-siding and
others trying to recall habits of 70
or more years ago but without avail.
The result was just what one would
eXpect-many laughable spills. The
skier. however, invariably came up
smiling and there were no cutters.
The ski-hike was the best ever.
Under the leadership of Blaine
Owen. Bill Warrell and Major Far
mum one group of old timers plugged
their way up the steep hillsides in
Ganneston Park through deep
woods and by devious turns and pre-
viously uneXplored paths. They
finally found themselves at the top,
and that is where the fun began.
Those ON skis were we'll repaid for
their hard climb for the rest of the
way was one long exciting descent
and, as far as is known. there were
no spills to MARI the trip. Another
party on snOWshoes were less for
tunate. They made the ascent with
little more ease, but the descent
lacked the coasting features enjoyed
by the skiiers. Spills were frequent
as. in good-natured rivalry, they
tried to keep ahead of the skiiers.
The snow was light and the day was
warm SO no one minded an OCCASION
al baptism in the feathery particles.
The distance covered was approx
mately two miles.
The crowd at Jamestown Park
was representative of all sections of
the city. The interest that is being
shown in winter sports in Augusta
is especially gratifying to the winter
sports committee and the growth of
the enterprise in single season is
just short of marvellous. 1t seems
to indicate that the movement is
bearing fruit and that winter sports
have come to stay. 1t Is anticipated
that within the next two years Win
ter carnivals will be basea chiefly on
local and community rivalry. so that
it will be unnecessary to stimulate
interest by importing paid perform
ers to make carnival a success.

in the week following her Augusta
concert engagement when she will
have the leading role in "Rigoletto"
with the Chicago Opera Company,
and again in April when she will APP
pear as solOist with the Boston SYM
phony Orchestra.
Great as her successes Of the past
have been, she is this season carrying
the entire country by storm. At her
last appearance in New York, she
was, according to the New York
World. accorded one Of the greatest
oVatlons ever given any artist who
has sung in this staid town." The
st. Louis Post Dispatch calls her "the
American Princess Of Song-a CALI
Curci and Frieda Hempel rolled into
one" The Chicago Herald of last
week reports that cher appearance
in Lucia resulted in the most spec
tacular ovation ever given any artist.
Not content with twelve curtain calls
the spontaneous and enthusias site APP
plause was continuous for twenty
minutes" Other Chicago papers also
devoted columns in giving her praise.

full description of how to build a

BELFAST
Deep Snow Hampers

If every storm increases in dura-
ton and the fall of snow, Belfast will
soon be a buried city, for it has at
least three feet on the level and
goodness only knows how deep the
drifts are, up to the caves of the
houses in some places. Saturday
morning after the storm had ceased
but the snow was blowing and the
wind clustering, snowshoes was
about the only means of transporta-
ton and doctors. lawyers, undertake
ers, shop keepers and telephone girls
went to their places of business in
that way.
Another department that has no
clnch in these billiards. is the men
who shovel the walks and break out
the roads. 1t can't be done in a min
ute after such snow falls and winds
as the last three storms have been,
but they get around in very short or
der and theirs is not the blame if
the wind fills up the paths as soon
as they are shoveled.
The incoming train on Friday
night was four hours late and Satur-
day morning was an hour late going
out, an more or less off schedule
time all day. This was due partially
to the main line trains being late.

VAST WEALTH FROM SILVER
Fortunate Spaniards Spent Millions as
the Average Man Might Dis
pense His Dollars.

In the old Spanish days in Mexico.
millionaires were often made over
night in the rich sllyer-mining sections
around Guadalajuata. A shrewd pros
pector in the early days, named Fam
brano. discovered mine which
brought him immense wealth. He
spent most of mis- time in the cap
ltals Of Europe, living as extrayagant-
~ as possible, squandering vast sums
at the gaming table, but managing to
leave snug little fortune of 100000
600. one of his whims was to lay
silver pavement in front Of his house.
but this the authorities forbade. In
those days silver was on a parity with
gold.
The condo lie Valenciana, who dis
covered one of the richest mines IN
this section, derived so much wealth
from It that he is said TO have gotten
rid of SlOO. 100000 In a few years,
Another silver king sent the king OF
Spain 100000 as Christmas pres
ent. and asked to be allowed 70 build
galleries and portals Of silver around
his mansion. This request was re-
fused. the authorities declaring that
such magniflcence was the privilege
OF royalty only.

RAISE BUGS TO FIGHT BUGS
French Scientists Breed Insects and
Birds That Are Enemies Of Fruit
Destroying Pests.

There is a quaint institution IN Mon
tone, in the south of France, known
as the Insectarium where learned pro
fessorS are rearing various species OF
bugs and other insects.
Mentone is in the center of an inn
portant fruit-growing district, and the
object Is to discover rhe best means OF
fighting those insect pests that prey
upon plants and ruin the fruit.
The orchards have suffered severely
through the raYages of the mealy bug,
and the fruit growers were becoming
quite alarmed. Then experts dlscov-
cred that three other species of bug
are the natural enemies of the mealy.
So these are being bred and reared
and turned loose in the orchards as
allies of the fruit growers.
The institution is also breeding Ger.
tain species of ladybirds to destroy the
cOchineal, an insect that plays havoc
with orange and lemon trees. These
ladybrds have been brought from far
Australia and California.
The institution is nothing less than
an up-to-date insect farm, consisting
Of large private house and an acre
of ground. In the laboratory are rows
upon rows Of pitfalls and jars, the
larvae Of various insects which are
kept ut high temperature In the gar
den are cages fun of all kinds OF
rrpaniuu and Hvjnp nests
