ON WHITE Way At 1O7
But Wise Goes Through in an
Auto and Doesn't Tarry.
LAUGH ON HIS RELATIVES
Here on Quiet Seven Years Ago
with Fourth Wife-Go-
ing Home To- day.

Young Macagor Wise, he is only 107
years old, sprung a surprise on a number
CT his relatives in Newark last night after
Ms return from an automobile trip
through New York City. Grandnieces and
grandnephews thought they had afforded
wise a treat in his trip to the metropolis,
under the impression that he had not seen
the big city in twenty-three years. When
Wise, whose hearing is badly impaired,
talked to Tribune reporter at the home
OF a granddaughter, Hardy Bush, at No. q
South street, Newark, last night, he in
formed his Newark relations for the first
time that only seven years ago he and
his present wife, the fourth, whom he
took when he was ninety-four years old.
stole down from Beaver Brook, in Sulll-
van County, and attended the wedding OF
great-grandnece in Brooklyn.
"Oh, / didn't notice much change" is
the way Macagor let his relations in on
the secret" because. you know l was
In New York only four years ago"
There was a suggestion that perhaps
the old mans memory was going back on
him, and, as a matter of fact, 1t had, only,
however, TO the extent that he had con-
fused a trip to Philadelphia four years
ago with one that he had made three years
before TO Brooklyn. Mr.. Wise insisted
he was right until his niece, Mrs. Bush.
the mother Of Hardy Bush. set him right
with the aid OF Mrs Wise, whose facul-
ties are remarkable for seventy years.
The centenarian rode one hundred and
thirty miles in an automobile TO get from
his home 10 Newark and Is going back
the same way to-day II the weather per-
mits. He made the trip to New York in
Mr.. Bush's machine yesterday, and the
only things that excited comment from
him, according to Mr.. Bush. were the
Flatiron and Woolworth buildings. The
latter structure he noticed particularly.
and as he gazed 10 the top of II he re-
marked that the workmen must be tied
TO the building working at such dizzy
height.
Mr.. Wise was taken over the 42d street
ferry and down Fifth avenue to Broad
way and back TO Jersey over the Cort-
landt street ferry. The crowds I'm upper
Fifth avenue and Broadway prompted the
old man 10 inquire as 10 Manhattans
population, and, told II was more thah
two millions. he expressed wonder at how
food and employment could be supplied
10 such multitude I'm the city.
Mr. Wise's visit TO New York previous
TO that seven years ago dates back TWEEN
ty-three years Then he visited his New
ERIK relatives, and on his present visit re-
called wildly incidents that his much
younger relatives had forgotten.
A veteran Of the Civil War, and having
come out Of every battle in which the
lHst Pennsylvania Volunteers were en-
gagged as one of sixteen out Of company
Of l0I Mr.. Wise boasts OF the fact that
he never used tobacco in any form. He
never wore glasses and always does his
own shaving. The automobile ride yes
terday told on the veteran last night, and
he adhered 10 a custom by retiring early.

TO STAGE CHILDREN'S PLAY
Belasco Announces "Un Bon
Petit Diable" for Xmas Night.

Under the same title, "The Good Little
Devil" David Belasco will present here
on Christmas night, at Belasco's Theatre,
the children's play, "Un Bon Petit
Diable,' which was produced last season
in Paris at the Gymnase. The authors OF
the little play are Rosemonde Gerard
CMme. Rostand) and Maurice Rostand,
wife and son of the poet-dramatist, Ed
mond Rostand.
Austin Strong, author of The Pied
Piper" The Toymsker of Nuremberg
and other plays, has made the transla-
ton and adaptation. in consultation with
Mr.. Belasco, and months have been spent
in the preparation OF special scenery and
in the selection of competent players.
The cast will number forty-five persons,
half Of them children of various ages.
Among the more notable names in the
long list are William Norris, Ernest Law
ford, Ernest Truck, Henry Stanford, Ed
ward Connolly. Etienne Girardot, Marie
Pickford. Vida Bennett, Iva Merlin, Ed
win Griffin, Jeanne fowler and Mrs. Sol
Smith.
The story Of the play realizes the long
ing that most groWn-ups frequently have
to become child again. The development
is fanciful and poetic, which accounts for
the fact that many French critics last
year limited their suspicious that Rostand
himself had had a hand in II.

PRAISE FOR DR.. MAB|E
Japan Society Gives Dinner for
New Peace Lecturer.
CONSUL GENERAL SPEAKS
Barriers Between East and
West Dissolving, Says Guest
of the Evening.

The Japan Society gave a dinner last
night in the Hotel Aston TO Dr. and Mrs
Hamilton Wright Mabie. IN honor OF DR..
Mabie's recent appointment as lecturer
! to Japan for the Carnegie Foundation for
international Peace. There were about
three hundred members present.
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler presided,
and the other speakers were DR. Mabie.
| Consul General humane. DR.. Henry van
Dyke, DR.. John II. Finley, DR.. Talcott
| Williams and Hamilton Holt. All declared
for mutual understanding between
America and Japan and praised Dr. Mabie
as worthy worker in this cause. Con-
sui General humane made a strong plea
for international sympathy.
THE world" said Mr. Mamano, was
formerly under the impression that the
East is East and the West Is West eter-
nally. and this accounts for the lack Of
understanding between the Orient and
the Occident Yet the drama now being
enacted in the Far East will determine
the progress OF civilization. and to solve
its problems we must have mutual sym
patty. 1t is vital for America and Japan
TO understand each other. Each nation
and religion must give expression 10 its
characteristic virtues but each can be
enriched by the other.
THE Russian war brought to Japan I'M
qualified. exaggerated eulogy, and the re-
action was bound TO follow. The pendu-
lum swung to the other extreme, and the
same persons and newspapers who once
praised the Japanese virtues became filled
with suspicion and mistrust. Yet I be-
lieve we are beginning now to judge
more calmly. and / am sure that DR..
Mabie Is going 10 help on the spirit OF
Just appreciation"
DR.. Mabie declared that the great work
OF the twentieth century will be to bring
mutual understanding between the diff
ferent races.
1T would be n misfortune for Japan 70
become Americanized" said Or. Mabie,
"as each race has its part 10 play In the
worlds development. Civilization should
produce variety, but It should also pro-
duce sympathy. ! believe the barriers
between the East and the West are dis
solving. We in America need TO heed
the calls Of discipline and beauty two
calls TO which we have been deaf, and
we can learn them from Japan.
Japan is better disposed 10 us than our
neighbors either 10 the north or south. and
our very radical differences should make
our friendship more secure
