tions. 1t was another example of his
maxim that ''there is no such word as
impossible"
Far Hills, the home of the host, is
one of the most beautiful country
places in America. SO often has it
been opened to the public that it is al
most regarded as a city park. The
grounds were deliberately Illuminated
with japanese lanterns and electric
lights, five thousand incandescent
bulbs being used. Artificial flowers
containing electric lamps were scatter
ed through the bushes and shrubbery.
Mr.. Patterson's guests began to
arrive at o'clock, and almost all of
them were met personally by the host,
after which they sought out the beau
tiful, shady hooks and listened to the
elaborate musical programs rendered
by the bands.
A huge circle of tables $50 feet in
diameter had been ARA nged. On the
inside of this circle 200 walters served
the food to the guests, 1,500 being &C
commodated at one time.
After the supper President Patterson
gave an illustrated talk on his years
tour around the world. Two stereop-
ticons and over 500 colored slides were
used to illustrate the story of his
travels. His audience was seated on
5000 chairs and 5000 circus seats Sc
cured for the occasion.
At the conclusion of the lecture light
refreshments were served, after which
the 10000 guests formed in line, and
headed by Mr. Patterson and three
bands marched to the lodge at the en-
trance of the grounds, where the host
bid them goodnight.

AN OLD NEWSPAPER sUsPENDs.
The Civilian Was Founded in Mary
land to Aid Henry Clay.

A Cumberland, Md, dispatch say
The Civilian, one of the Oldest week
lies in this county, has suspended
publication in its 10th volume. 1t was
founded in 1928 by Samuel Charles,
who died in 1874 1t was last pub
lished by the Daily News Company.
The origin of it's name, The Civilian,
was said to have been brought about
in this way:
General Jackson was running for
president against Clay. Jackson 5
popularity depended upon his military
record, while that of Clay stood upon
his record as a civilian. At this time
Samuel Charles came to Cumberland
and established the paper, and in or
der to offset Jackson's military popu-
larity and to boost Clay he called his
paper The Civilian.

and other provisions in like proper

three bands of music, John H. Patter-

AS an appreciation of the public re-

a tour around the world Mr.. Patter-
son planned and carried out this enor-

before attempted in that part OF the

Gals, the members of the board of ed

1000 other leading citizens of Dayton,
together with the 1000 employees of
Mr.. Patterson's factory and their
wives.
Such an entertainment of factory
employees by the head of great in

LIVES WITH A BROKEN NECK.
Remarkable Case of Connecticut Man
Who Fell From Wagon While Drunk
Puzzles Surgeons.

The case of Christopher Jensen, of
New Canaan, Conn, undergoing
treatment at the Stomford Hospital,
is said to be the most remarkable on
record. For three weeks he has been
suffering from broken neck, and his
condition is so comfortable that the
surgeons hesitate to operate. They
have summoned DR.. Dawbarn, of the
Polytechnic Hospital, New York, for
consultation, and they will decide
whether it is better to trust to nature
to heal the broken bone or to operate.
Jensen is about so years old. His
muscles are hard as iron and he is in
good condition physically, although
not of build that would attract at
tention. Three weeks ago he fell
from a load of gravel near the farm
house J. L. Davenport, his employer,
and broke his neck.
The exact nature of the injury could
not be diagnosed at the time, because
Jensen was under the influence of Ii
quor. DR.. Scoville attended him.
Jensen suffered so much that he be-
came violent, and on two occasions
left his bed and went about the farm
threatening people. Once he remain
ed outdoors all night. He craved
constantly for liquor, and his fellow
employees kept him supplied. Not I'M
til four days ago did the attending
physician note symptoms of broken
neck. AS soon as he did, he had Jen-
sen sent to the Stamford Hospital,
where careful diagnosis was made,
and it was found that some of the
small bones in the neck were broken.
DR.. Tiffany, house surgeon in charge,
said it was most extra ordinary that
Jenson could live. Jensen has been
at the hospital three days now, and
he seems to be improving all the time.

PIayfIlIy Points Unused Gun and a
Fatal Tragedy Results.
Taking an old and long unused gun
and playfully pointing it at his baby
brother Homer Sword blew the little
fellows head off Wednesday morn

mile from Hogansville at the home of
the boys father, l.. f. B. Stroud.
The gun that caused the catastrophe
had not been loaded for some time,
but had long lain around the house.
On the morning of the tragedy Mr..
Sword placed some shells in it and
forgot to take them out In a spirit
of mischief the older boy, who is just
ten years of age, took aim at his six
months old brother and pulled the
trigger, when the explosion followed.
Both parents were out of the house
and on their return found the little
fellow literally shot to pieces and his
brother who had caused the deed fran
tic with fear and sorrow over his act.

home of -lis sister, Mrs. B. B. Wat
kins, where they will reside Temporal
rily.
While the news of the remarriage
of DR.. and Mrs. Roberts came as a
surprise to the general public, it was
hardly so to their intimate friends,
for it has been known to them that
during the unfortunate separation
the couple has been devoted to the
other, and has earnestly hoped for a
reconciliation.
1t was while DR.. Roberts was presi-
dent of Wesleyan Female College in
Macon about two years ago that he
and his wife separated. DR.. Rob-

he refused an offer by Rockefeller to

WILL DEMAND INDEMNITY
JAPAN WANTS PEACE ONLY ON
CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
Spokesman for Japanese Peace Dele
CATION Interviewed. Armistice
Will Be First Considered.

That Japan will demand an indem-
Unity of Russia in the negotiations for
peace, and that the war will be de-
clared at an end at the conclusion of
the negotiations now in progress at
Portsmouth, N. H., is the belief of
Baron KOmura, head of the Japanese
peace delegation as voiced bv Aimar
Sato, who is the official spokesman of
the baron on this mission. Mr.. Sato
in an interview said in part:
81 am satisfied that peace will be
satisfactorily negotiated by the dele
cations. The japanese will be guided
by moderation, and no excessive de-
mands will be made, but the sentiment
in Japan and Russia is Cor peace, and
in the interest of humanity and pro-
priety there must be peace.
1.-THE cost to Japan, however, has
been very great. On both sides the
loss of men has been $40, 000--Russia
losing 1000 of these. The war is
costing Japan a million dollars day,
and there is feeling that there ought
to be an indemnity"
Asked as to the probability of an
armistice, Mr.. Sato said that proba-
bly, would be among the first questions
the plenipotentiaries would consider.
Basing the form of the negotiations
on previous treaty negotiations Japan
will make the demands for Russias
consideration, he said.
Mr.. Sato emphasized the announce
ment made frequently before that ia
pan does not seek territorial aggran-
dizement, and on this point the speak
err said:
''We want in Manchurla equal OPP
portunity, or what Mr. Hay called the
open door.
In response to further questions Mr..
Sato said: "Japan is over-populated
and in opening up of Manchuria and
Korea an attractive field for immigra-
ton would be nearer home than is Of
fered in Manchuria or America.
