PLAYFELLOW OF NAPOLEON =.
Is 1O0 YEARS OLD.

Paris, Aug. 1S.-Pierre Schamel
Roy, the only living man whose
hand ever clasped that OF Napoleon
Bonaparte, today celebrated his
106th birthday by rising at o'clock
and taking long walk through the
streets OF Neuilly and along the
banks OF the Seine. Later in the day
he was rendered an informal recep-
tion by fellow imperialists Quite
poor, unmarried, Roy lives in a two
room apartment, his only income be-
ing a government pension of 30
cents day. Imperlalist sympathiz-
ers occasionally help the old man
with donations. His mind is as
clear as bell, his hand is perfectly
steady, yet he was "playboy" to the
King of Rome, Napoleons beloved
"LAiglon," in the palace of versail-
les. 1t was only at st. Helena that
Roy remembers seeing the Emperor.
There he saw him four times.
Until Roy was 60 years old he was
rather a heavy drinker He drank
wine. Since then, he has drunk milk
principally, though now and then he
still takes glass of wine with meals
He has never taken any particular
care of himself, attributing his long
life to open-air walks, lack OF ex-
cesses, save drinking when he was
young man" and to the fact that
his mother and father both we're
very young when he was born, the
one being II, and the other 19. He
has always eaten whatever and as
much as he chose.
II have lived through the reg
ions" said Roy, "of two emperors

of the family DR.. Wilsey was called
from his drug store to assist in the

and Wilsey performed it in the pres
Eence of several people. One OF the
witnesses claimed he had been drink
ing.
In performing the operation Wilsey
pulled out some of the woman's In
itestines, cut them off and tied the
ends together. Edward Cook, Sherman
4 Trenter, the wonans husband, Mrs
Elizabeth Trenter, her mother
were present. Following the
operation hrs. Trenter became
worse. She was taken to the
