gelist, is about to give unique dinner party, or. more correctly speaking his good wife Is to give it, in honor of his fiftieth birthday. On the 16th of this month Mr. Jones will reach the half century mile post in his life's journey, and Mrs. Jones has decided that there shall be fifty guests at her dinner, one for every year of her famous husbands existence. These invited friends will come from every part of the United States and will represent many and va- rious professions and businesses. They will be brainy, distinguished men; good, honest, Christian men: and perhaps some neither very intellectual or very religious. Mrs. Jones has been arrang ing for this affair for sevaral months, and proposes to leave nothing undone which will make of it an entertainment never to be forgotten by single guest fortunate enough to have received and accepted an invitation to be present on the occasion.
