Camden Pine Trees Capture
Polo Game from Aiken Tigers

In a see-saw contest, full Of racing,
hard riding and skillful playing, the
Camden IN. J) Pine Trees came up from
behind in the eighth period of yesterdays
polo contest and captured the most spec
tacular game Of the tournament from the
Aiken IS. c. Tigers. The final score
was to 1-2, goal by Seward Cary,
Of the Pine Trees, pulling the game out
Of the fire with less than five minutes
to play.
The Tigers struggled under handi-
cap Of FIVE points. and they fought like
veritable jungle cats in their striped jer-
seys. The efficacy of the handicap sys-
tenn in evening up teams was clearly
demonstrated in the work of Early Hop
ping, Of the Tigers. who carried a handi-
cap Of six-almost the heaviest set by
the association-and H. East, an Eng
lish whiTlwind playing with the Pine
Trees. who carried a handicap of five.

Is
a Victim
Of Cancer
Paris Newspaper Says
He Is Unable to Talk
and Has Appealed to
French Surgeon

Paris, Jan. 3.-(Delayed).-Th Ma.
tin affirms. Notwithstanding denials,
that the German Emperor is suffering
from cancer of the throat and is no
longer able to speak.
I'm February, 1871" according to the
Matin. 1.-The doctors were considering
whether it was necessary to remove
the entire larynx in order to stay the
progress of the disease. That raised
the question as to whether the Emper-
or would be able to speak if such an
operation were performed. The leading
specialists of every capital in Europe
were consulted. 1t was learned that
an eminent surgeon of Paris had with
an artificial larynx and a breathing
tube opening into the trachea, restor-
ed the power Of speech to cancerous
patients who had undergone total alb
lation Of the affected organs.
This doctor. whose name the Ma
tin withholds for reasons of profession
al etiquette, was asked to go to Berlin
by the German ambassador. He was Of
fered 100000 francs and all his ex-
penses and was reuested to bring with
him patient who had been fitted with
the apparatus, SO that the Emperor
himself might see il he was able to
speak.
Meanwhile. as a result Of a minor
operation with a bistoury and a few
weeks absolute rest the Emperor's con-
dition improved as is often the case in
this disease the progress Of which is
implacable, hut slow. 1t is another
operation of this kind which has just
been performed. But it is only pallia-
tive. The German Emperor must eth
er make up his mind to complete re-
moval of the larynx or be stifled by
the growth.
This explains why the Emperor
went neither to Warsaw, Constantine
pie nor Brussels"
