Gen. P. E. Spinner’s 85th birthday occurred 
Jan, 21, and during the day he was visited 
and congratulated by ninny of his friends, at 
his present home, Jacksonville, Fla. The 
General is still enjoying remarkably good

Mrs. Senator Stanford wears $500,000 
worth of jewels; Mrs. William Vanderbilt has 
a $130,000 pearl necklace; Mrs. Frank Leslie 
wears diamonds as big as birds’ eggs in her 
ears; Seuator Hearst can afford to pay $500,-

Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, has so far 
recovered from his recent serious attack of 
pneumonia, that he is making preparations to 
start for the rest of the winter to the extreme 
southern part of Florida. He has had a labor¬ 
atory fitted up there, and, with the assistance

The gay and sprightly M. Chovreul, who 
celebrated, his hundredth birthday at Paris 
some months ago, is becoming weary of the 
whirl of social festivities with which his sec¬ 
ond century was begun, and will go to Dijon 
for a season of quiet. He has resigned his 
active connection with the Museum of Natural 
History and the National Agricultural So¬ 
ciety, thinking that ufter 85 years of labor he 
is entitled to some relaxation. Recently he 
has received a splendid congratulatory address 
from the Royal Academy of Prussia, Curtius 
and Mommsen being umong the signers.
