If a husband neglects to pay alimony
during his lifetime the amount due to

This has been decided by, the Court of
Appeals In the suit of Mrs. Deborah Van
Ness, who got a divorce In 1S67 from
Cornelius H. Van Ness, with S600 a year
alimony. Van Ness married the co
respondent and Inherited a fortuno from
her, but he never paid alimony. When
he died in 1911 he left the bulk of hla
estate to his third wife.
Mrs. Van Sits, who was nearly SO
years old when her husband died, started
suit to get from her former husband's
estate the full amount of alimony due.
The lower courts decldfd against her,

decided In her 'favor. She was In want

The old square rigger Jacob A. Stam

up ten years ago as a home for working

28, has si press agent now, a brisk youth
who once worked for George C. Tllyou
at Steeplechase Park, Coney Island. In
the old days, when the deep sea hotel
, waa the delight and diversion of John
Arbuckle and trouble had not perched
iiae a mm oi evil omen upon me cross
trees, the old ship needed no press agent.
Things were always happening to keep
Interest alive. Danny Cupid used to
take passage (or secure board) on the
Stamlcr and once, three years ago, the
rascal shot away an entire quiver ot
arrows, six taking effect.
Dut things are different now. The

Bo the press agent haa volunteered to
see If publicity can help the girls keep
their cheerful and comfortable qu.it ters.
Ho Is not working for the Arbuckle es
tate, of course, and Capt. Frank H.
.Shealey, long tho manager of the deep
sea hotel, who Is not altogether used
to the ways of preea agents, seems to
look upon the young man with none too
much favor. Hut he has volunteered to
help the girls and to spread the news
of their difficulty.
He received n reporter for Tin Sun
aboard the Htamler yesterday where .she
lay between tho Greeupolnt ferry house
ami the recreation pier at the foot ot
Fast Twenty-third street and Inspiration
twinkled In his sharp eyea. With a
"Shhh!" and a wave of the hand to
caution secrecy, he led the way to the
assembly room.
"It may be that there Is a way out
of this trouble, after all," he confided.
"What would you say now If I told you
that fifty worthy young men, self-supporting,
respectable, generous, are apt
to come aboard any day and ask the
fifty girls on the Kt.imler to marry them.
What would you say to that, eh?"
"That certainly would be a tine way
out of the difficulty.'' the reporter agreed.
"But how do you know all this-. Who
are the fifty oung men and where are
they?"
"That," said the prras agent, firmly,
"must be a secret for the present. Hut
don't be surprised If a wad of wedding
announcements are sent from here."
Glrla Do .Vm Know Secret.
Somehow, the committee of girls who
aro wrinkling their brows trying to
think of a plan to ao their home
and keep them from moving to
dreary rooming houses did not seem to
know ns much nhout the probability of
marriages on masse as Old the hopeful
' press agent. There was a suspicion ot
tears In the eyes of the chairman. Marv
Barrett, as she talked about what might
happen to the girls when evicted from
the Stamler.
"You see," she said quite simply, "the
problem Is really a grave one for us.
Few of the girls earn more, than I or

If so they have kept the fart a secret."
"Our chief hope Is that Miss Anne
Morgan, to whom we have appealed, will
help us out by purchasing the tftamler
or arranging a fund to cover deficits."
Many girls who used to live aboard
tho Stamler. but who have been married
or become prosperous enough to live
elsewhere, visited the old ship yesterday
to condole with their friends.

Is the first zebra ever born In captivity.
The baby Is the son of Paddy and

A tho stork was exected to arrive

Paddy, the father, Is a stocky little

Eve did not eat the apple. She did
not (rive Adam any to eat nd thus
bring about the fall of mutt from a
state of Innocence. It waa Noah who
felt. He was ordered not to eat of
the cassia tree In the Garden of Para
dise, but he did, and then the curse
came upon him. The curse was that
he should have III health and an early
doith Instead of living to be 50,000 year
old, like his ancestors. These state
ments are according to the Sumcrlan
theology and wi found In a tablet writ
ten before the days of Abraham. The
tablet Is now In the' University Mu
seum, Philadelphia.
A hint of this was given more than
a year ago when Dr. Steven Langdon,
professor of Assyrlology at Oxford, an
nounced that he had translated a part
of a tablet which he had copied while
In th University Museum. Since
then he has compared the tablet
with every other known tablet and his
torical account, Including the Book of
Genesis. Dr. Langdon say this tablet
Is at least a thousand ears older than
the Genesis account.
It was written more than 4,000 years
ago and evidently records a tradition
which goes back to the early history
of man. The Babylonian and Humc
rlan accounts place the flood at some
thing like 35,000 B. C. and the lapse
of time between the creation and the
flood Is tilled by ten kings who reigned
altogether 432,000 yeirs, an average of
43,200 )eara each.
arrntlvp Written aa Hymn.
Dr. Langdon'a book will be Issued
by the museum to-day. The tablet 1
nearly complete and It story Is In the
form of a hymn. In much the same style
as the Hebrew poetry of the Bible.
Knkl, the water god, and his consort,
Nlnella, ruled over mankind In Para
dise, here oalled Dllmun, or the aut
coast ot the Arabian (Julf, about a
hundred miles from the mouth of the
Tigris-Euphrates stem.
For some reason, however, man dis
pleased the gods. Apparently he did not
worship them with sufficient fervor.
Now It was Nlntu. a goddess, who had
created men out of clay. She distinctly
said they were her creations. She could
not save all men, but by craft managed
to save the king, who Is here called
Tagtug. which Is variously rendered
Xluglddu and Utnaplshtlm. and Is an
equivalent, according to Dr. Langdon,
of the SumerUn Nauh. which la none
other than Noah. So a ship wns pre
pared for the king and his companions.
The tlfKxl lasted nine months and "man
dissolved In the waters like tallow and
fat."
After the flood Nlntu, Introduced Tag
tug, or Noah, to the god Knkl, ex
plained how she saved him and certain
pious ones, nnd Knkl took him to the
temple and revealed secrets. Tagtug
became a gardener and was Instructed
In plant life by Nlntu, but waa ordered
not to eat of the cassia. But Tagtug, or
Noah, disobeyed. He ate of the cassia.
whereupon Nlntu afflicted him with
bodily weakness. All hla descendant)!
died comparatively early deaths. Ac
cording to the tablets In the University
Museum deciphered by Dr. Poebel, only
a few of this Tagtug's successors ruled
more than a normal number of years.
Illrlnr Itelngs Tansht onh.
In the ntbllcal narrative Noah sinned
by getting drunk. The gods sent eight
divine patrons to teach men the arts
of wisdom. There are ten such patrons
mentioned In Genesis. The Hebrew
gives these aa descendants of man, but
the Nippur tablet here translated makes
them dlvlpe beings.
Dr. Langdon looks upon the narra
tives In the Bible concerning the crea
tion, flood and fall of man to be "an
other product evolved from the Baby
lonian doctrines." Aa to the early chap
ters of Genesis he says :
"We are, I believe, on safe grounds
In assuming that In agreement with the
sages nho wrote our epic of the fall of
man there was In Babylonia a deeply
rooted tradition that the greatest of all
catastrophes, the loss of long Ufe, over
took man only after h had lived
In Parndlit for many ages. Such I be
lieve to have been the doctrine adopted
by the crlbe to whom we owe the
priestly narrative in luhrew. He surely
pursued bis investigation beyond Se
mitic poems of Babylonia, rehearsed by
the Canaanltes before th Hebrew oc-
cupatlon."

tion is shown in the new census of
Greater New York. A hundred thou
sand new families all with homes to
furnish or to refurnish after moving.
Our hats off to Queens, with 39V2
per cent, increase; and to the Bronx
with 37 per cent, increase. All the
boroughs did well in building new
homes except Manhattan Richmond
increasing 14 per cent., and Brooklyn
over 10 per cent.
Manhattan grows in a business
way. Ma.ihattan is the workshop of
New York; the supplier of these
homes; the scat of the great city's in
dustry. And Wanamakcr's is in the center
of all this great city's population.
Take a map and see for yourself
Brooklyn and Queens to the East;
Richmond to the South ; Bronx to the
North; to say nothing of the great
New York suburban settlements
across the river in Jersey and North
ward into New York Stcte and Con
necticut. All convenient to Wana
maker's by train, subway, tube, or
trolley.
