Lennon, Whose Back Was
Broken, Is Now Recovering.
THREE vERTERRAE FRACTURED.
Half His BODY Appeared 10 Be Deaf Until
Surgeons Operated and Then His In
proysmsnt Was Very Rapid.

New York. Feb. ITO the astonish-
ment Of the staff OF the Jamaica Emer-
gency hospital. Joseph Lennon, who en-
tered the institution last August with
a broken back, is on the road to re-
coveryo
The physicians have performed a sue
cessful operation, and yesterday the pa
tient moved his feet backward and for
ward for the first time unsupported.
IL is thought that In a few weeks he
will be discharged from the hospital as
entirely cured.
Lennon. " no lived in Manhattan, attend
ed a dance az Glendale While ne was
on an elevated platform some one brush
ed against him ara he was thrown. He
was picked up unconscious and an am
bulance took him to the hospital. where
his back was fousd 10 be broken
Fractures were discovered In the eighth
ninth and tenth vertebrae. The broken
bones pressed against his spinal cord
and parslyzed him from the middle OF his
back down TO his feet. He had absolutely
no feeling IN his limbs. and pins could
he stuck into them without causing him
any pain. He did not care for food and
did not feel the need OF stimulants. His
body wasted away ana the doctors felt
sure that he would die.
IL was explained 10 him that an opera
ton might mean death. He WAS told
that the bone of his broken vertebrae
pressed against the spinal cord and that
one slight touch against that might
cause instant death.
he oil or
chances and told the physicians that he
wanted them 10 operate
Go ahead he said, II want to live IL
L can. but IL l must die let IL come at
once"
An incision was made In his. back. In
an instant the broken bones were re-
vealed. They had grown against the
spinal cord and would have 10 be forced
away
The particles OF bone were first taken
out and the adhesions drawn away from
the cord It took almost an hour to
break away the adhes:ons which meas
ured only the fraction of an inch. Once
or twice the patient seemed TO have
passed away and the doctors abandoned
all hope. But in desperation they finished
the task and then IL was found that the
spinal cord was uninjured.
The mans body was then extended and
a plaster of paris jacket was placed
about him 10 relieve the strain upon The
spinal cord. Then he was revived and
sent 10 his cot. He soon showed n
Frightening mind and i'm a few days the
return of his appetite was remarked
About a month ago Lennon stood up
from his chair unsupported by cane or
crutch He seemed In enjoy the novelty
and attempted 20 move mis- limbs as IL
10 walk He could not do NO. but kept
up the effort. IL was round that he
could move them sideways and back
ward First he did so only the minutest
fraction OF an inch Gradually he eX-
tended the movements until now he
moves his legs and feet several inches
each way.
Physicians think that the operation
upon Lehman wos a more delicate one
than that upon Duryea. Duryea's frac-
ture was small and easier 10 reach, while
Lemons was difficult to get at, and ex-
tended several inches down his spine.

IT IS The BEST.
High Praise Awarded the Apex
Brand Of Leather Be|tlng.

II Is with some feeling OF satisfaction
that the Southern Trade Record sees a
vindication OF former Endorsements OF
worthy firms and meritorious articles. We
have always given careful attention 10 In
quiries received from subscribers. and TO
furnish them with reliable information on
any desired subject free OF charge.
The Record has the largest circulation
OF any trade journal in the country, and
no other publication OF its class could af-
ford TO maintain such large staff OF ex-
perienced reporters to make these expen-
sive Investigations, IN the interests OF its
readers.
A number OF months ago We received
inquiries I'm which we were asked 10 rec
ommend the best Leather Betting and TO
state whore came could be obtained
We fully realized the Importance of the
subject and the confidence which would
be rcposed IN our answer We made q
careful and thorough investigation local
ly,aiso referred the matter to our repre-
sentativrs In all the principal cities. and
found that the Apex Brand of Leather
Betting. manufactured by the Brown
Bros Co, OF Providence. Il l.. was con-
ceded 10 DE the best. we mao" etltDItdi
commenda tlon accordingly.
Only recently we received many SINH
lar inquiries from other OF our readers,
and To verify the correctness of our for
mer recommendation, we placed the mat
ter In the hands OF other of our reporters
and investigators who knew nothing Of
our former Endorsement. and after the
most exhaustive research they also have
reported I'm favor OF the Lea ther Betting
manufactured by the Brown Bros Co.
Providence. n. L.. which proves conclu-
sively that this beltiAg. Apex Brand. Is
doubly worthy OF adoption and use by all.
and also that the trained reporters of the
Record never DO anything by halves.
The members Of this company are well
known for their business tact and ENTER
prise. we'll as sterling integrity, and
their standing commercially is OF the
highest order.
They owe the great success Of their
business 90 their prompt and careful at
tention To orders. courteous treatment 10
customers. and the perfect reliability OF
their leather betting. BY their honest en-
deavors tO make nothing but the best
they have built up a reputation second To
none in the country.
We have no personal interest in this
company or their lea ather betting. except
10 commend them as the best in strict ac-
cordance with the findings OF our two In
vestigatiOus. which were conducted with
out their knowledge or that OF any other
interested party.
An unreliable or purchased Endorsement
has never appeared upon the pages OF the
Record i'm the nineteen years OF it's exist
ence.-Southern Trade Journal.

DIVORCE LAWS.
Rev. +. B. Pu|Ian Talks About
ihs Proposed Changes.

The proposed change I'm the divorce
laws OF the state received some atten-
tion at the hands OF Rev. +. r. Pullan,
pastor of the Pilgrim Congregational
church last evening.
In the course OF his remarks, Mr.. Pull
Ian took occasion TO express hope that
the bill now pending In the General As
sembly would become law.
He said In part; ut Is proposed to take
our good state OF Rhode Island out OF
the list az a region where IL is easter 70
slip of the legal marriage yoke than
other regions. There shall be no legal
ground here for divorce which was not
legal In the state where the parties claim
residence. That seems a good clause In
the proposed act"
After explaining tho features OF the
proposed act, Mr.. Pullan said. "If enact
ed such law will at least bring our
good little commonwealth into line le-
gally with the most Of her sister states
and remove her from the odious reputa-
tion OF being "A handy spot for all who ask
easy and quick release legally from the
obligations of pure family life.
THE only opposers, | am allowed n
think, to tho enactment of this most
necessary law will be such as thrive In
the business OF being paid well for pro-
curing quick divorce DEGREES.
Toward all who so debase the high
ideal which ought TO inspire the legal
fraternity, there should he but one mind
on the part OF al clean citizens. namely
to remove from our laws all possibility y
for such swinish lawyers TO md any mire
