A TOUCH OF WHITE.
It Is Humored TtuU After a Bit No Collar
Will Be template Without a Una of
White.
. The advance guard of the white
collar arrived some time ago in the
little lace-trimmed muslin tabs, and
the universal resumption of the old
fashioned linen collar itself seems
Imminent.
It has already encircled necks illus
trious in the realm of fashion, and it
may be taken for granted that it has
come to stay. One docs not need to
be venerable to remember the time
when a gown ungarnlshed by a line
of white at the throat was regarded
as incomplete, and to be seen in a
' -negligee equal to that of the collar
his man to-day.
A touch of white about the throat
is universally becoming, and when
the edict of banishment was first de
creed women rebelled and vowed
. they would never succumb to a fash
ion so ugly.
But it is a well-known fact, so in
explicable otherwise that psycholo
gical influence must be inferred, that
whatever is the fashion looks well.
and whatever ceases to be the fash-
on looks ugly, regardless of intrinsi c
merits.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY
The
Minisink Valley Historical
Society Celebrates It,
A Banquet at the Fowler Ifmue, Tort .Ter
vls. Following Which Adrtrennes Were
Made by Kev. J)r. Mlllmlli v. Ir. ItlKKN
Mr. Oenrg-e H. Decker, Jtov. Mr. Hllles
ple and Hon. W. K. MrCnrtnlrk.
Tills society which wns organized
to preserve and perpetuate the early
history of this valley, and to rescue
from the mists of oblivion the fust
farting facts regarding its first in
habitants held its nnnunl meeting
Inst Saturday. There were 62 pre
sent at the dinner, which is repre
sented as beingin every respect a
credit, to Landlord Wickham audits
aftermath of speeches of more than
usual richness in eloquence and abil
ity. At the conclusion of the dinner
Dr. Mills the honored President of
the society made an introductory ad
dress of greeting and welcome, eu
logizing the character of Washing
ton and touching on the objects of
the society. He then introduced Geo.
II. Docker, of Middletown, who eu
logized Orange county by relating
the following story. At a protracted
meeting once in Amity, this county,
the minister asked all who wanted to
go to heaven to rise on their feet. All
arose except one old man. He next
asked all who desired to go the other
place to rise ;none stood tip, not even
the old man. After the meeting the
minister took him aside and said :
When I asked those who wanted to
go to heaven to stand up, you re
mained seated. When I requested
those who preferred the other place
to arise, vou still remained seated.
What did you menn? please explain
yourself.
" Well, sir " replied the old man,
Amity is good enough for me.
He concluded by giving as a toast :
My Country Right or Wrong, My
Country."
Rev. Dr. Riggs was then intro
duced and delivered an eloquent ad
dress in which he spoke of our popu
lation, wealth and intellectual en
lightenment and said that from all
this there should be some doflnite
moral outcome, that we should not
merely contemplate with pride our
past achievement, and present con
dition. We are rich in resources,
and have no enormous standing
armies to maintain. But there is
room for improvement. Greatness
is a means, not an end, an instru
ment to be used by us for the ad
vancement of God's kingdom on
earth. Our greatness should bo fof
service, not for show. He also said
that we should think whether; we
have something to do in the world.
Washington's advice to the country
to avoid entangling foreign alliances
was wise at the time and under the
circumstances it , was given. We
had then but tliree millions of peo
ple, and this weakness rendered the
policy of non-intorforonco neces
sary. Those conditions are greatly
changed. We now ha ve a popula
tion of over sixty millions.aud great
nowerand resources. It is time to
qualify the position Wellington
took, and to notify the world that
Jonathan has reached his majority.
Rev. Geo. E. Gillespie followed in a
happy vein in a brief speech. Hon
W. E. McCormick then niado a cha-
tacterestio address which was the
closing speech. A number of out of
town guests were present these from
Pike county being Prothonotary J.
C. Westbrook.Dr. H. E. Emerson.of
Milford.and Charles Marvin, Frank
Marvin, Rev. Mr. Wiegand and Mr
Taft, of Matamoras.
Charles F. Rockwell, of Hones

VANDERBILT ALLEN SUE;.
Ills rtiltatlrlnhls En-Wife Trying tn Re

Feb. 21 Mrs., Edith Allen of Phil

from Vftndi-rbilt Allen ' in 1SR7
brought action to-day to recover
1 S00 bnck alimony. Hlio was to re
ceive 11000 n year. Allen is In rocept
of $2400, a year, the income of a trust
fund of 10.000. Justice Truax de-
nied a motion to dismiss the com
plaint. '
Mrs. Allen said that Mr. Allen had
iwid her nearly $x000, but that she
had rweived nothing since.' 1892.
Allen is. a grandson of Commodore
Vanderbilt. He married for the
third time in 1892. Philadelphia
Press.
We print the above to correct the
statement made In the newspapers
that tho difficulty is with Col. Allen's
present wife who wns Miss Edith
Mott.
This impression is totally un
founded, and probably arises from
the fact that tho wife bringing the
suit, from whom ho wns divorced, is
also named Edith.
So far as we know and believe tho
relation bet.woen the colonel and his
present wife has nlwayR een har
monious and pleasant and we regret
that any reflection to the contrary
should have been cast on so estima
ble a woman a,s Mrs. Edith Mott

A Karros Escape From Drowning.
Levi Howell, of Dingman's Ferry,
took an involuntary bath in the river
at that ploe hist Monday evening.
He had been over to West Van Auk
en's after some sheep skins, and on
his return thinking to shorten his
walk did not follow tho road but at
tempted to take a near cut, and
walked into an open space in the ice.
The skins sorvod to buoy him up un
til bia cries for help attracted the at
tention of P. A. L. Quick arid Mr.
Van Aukon.who pushed aladder out
to him, to which he clung and so
wiiss roscuod from his perilous sit
uation. Ho - was quite exliausted
and would have sunk in a vory short
time beneath the icy waters, had not
timely aid been rendered.' His de
fective eyesight was probably the
cause of his mistaking the open wa
ter for blnck ice.

JOHN VICTOR Q TJIOK.
John Victor Quick, an ago! and
highly respected resident of this bo.
ough,diedathis home early Thurs
day mornin g Feb. 27, of paralysis.
For somotime he has been in failing
health and has snffered a number of
slight shocks, each one loaving him
n a more enfeeblod condition. Ho
wns born at Quicktown, July lst,1822
and was the son of Roger and Maria
Lonsia (Aarts) Quick. He learned
the trade of bhicksmithing in early
life and for many years carried on
the business in Milford, working for
John M. Heller, and was considered
one of the most expert workmen in
this village. Some 22 years ago he
purchased a farm in New Jersey op
posite Milford, whore he success
fully engnged in tho business of
raising .fruits and vegetables . for
this mnrkct. Falling health in
duced him to relinquish his farm
and ho removed to this borough
alxnit one year ago. Ho was noted
fur and wide as a skillful hunter,
tmpier and fisherman. He was a
kind, affoctijnate husbnnd and
fnthor and a warm and steadfast
friend. His familiar face and cot-
dial greeting will be greatly missed.
Hois survived by his widow, who
was a daughter of Cornelius Court
right ,of Delaware township, . and
one .son, George Roger Quick,' and
one daughter, Miranda S., wife of
Frank Dowitt.
The funeral will take plaoe from
the residence of his son Saturday
(to-morrow) at 2 p. m.
., MISS LDRLLA TOTTKN.
Miss Idella Totten, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Totten, of Mata
moras, died at her home.Fridny Feb.
21 at 10 o'clock. For nearly three
weeks she had been confined to her
bed with an affection of the brain,
which caused her to suffer intense
pain during the last few weeks;
Death finally came to her relief.
Her age at the time of her death
was 18 years, 5 months and 10 days.
The funeral service took place Mon
day afternoon at 2 o'clock at the
house, and 2.30 at the Hope Evange
lical church. A host of friends
mourn the loss, and her absence
will be painfully noticed especially in
the above church, whore she pre
sided at the organ. ...

uel Hashrouck, of Port Jervis. Fu

It is thought possible that the man
Heater Who lived near the ' Brick
House in Montague N. J. and whose
wife ran away from him leaving four
small children, who afterward de.
sorted the children himself and left
them to the tender mercies of the
poor masters.may have become food
for bass in the Delaware river. He
left his house in company with a
faithful dog, and it is supposed may
have attempted to cross the ice near
tho Detrick farm in Dingraan town
ship to go to his father's home in
Lehman. The dog returned home
the same day appearing as if he had
been in the water, and Heater has
not since been seen or heard of.
The children have been placed in the
Sussex county poorhouse by the au
thorities.
Judge Bell, of Blair county, has
