The Defeat at Hartford, Conn.

Although Hartford went for Ii
cense April 7 by a larger majority
than ever before, it required stu
pendous effort on the part of the
license element and the largest
vote ever polled in Hartford to do
it. The vote of the n~o-license
people was sufficient to have cam
ried the city ''dry" under ordinary
circumstances, and the fact has
encouraged the workers to renew
ed effort for the coming years.
No-license was the question of in
terest throughout the city. At one
time during the day success SEEM
ed assured for ~no-license, but the
license people renewed their vigor-
Gus efforts, and the balance soon
turned in their favor. Even the
liquor people do not boast of the
victory; they had to resort to
such means in order to win that it
is generally recognized that no.
license is on the upper wave,
pushing forward to the general de-
luge. The n~o-license vote doubled
that of any previous year, and the
songs of victory r all in the
camps of the vanquished.
The license element made the
fight of their lives before election,
and never ceased activities until
the polls closed. The day before
the election in each of the leading
newspapers was a page of the ma
terial of which license votes are
made; the streets we're sown with
literature replying to the circulars
sent out by the no-license people,
and the very last note of the bat
tie was given in a letter from a
working man who called attention
to the fact that the literature sent
out by the no-license workers did
not bear the "union label" On
election DAY the telling little dodg-

"Don't Forget
Push the pointer to
Yes for License"

were literally blowing upon the
balmy spring breezes - even a
large dog who frisked gaily about
the polls in one of the wards, pass
ing unchallenged within the seven
ty-five foot limit, bore the little
placard upon his shaggy breast.
Aninsult to the dog but an inspira-
ton to the license party.
Along the line of the voting
booths and the little dummy vot-
ing machines, your correspondent
walked, after voting in her own
ward upon the school question,
and found at each one men in
structing groups of laughing fol-
lowers to "vote yes" for license,
while the little spot representing
the question was greasy and let
ter worn where fingers had been
pressed upon it showing which
way to turn the pointer.
The no-license party, although
doing valiant work and really
suggesting all the lines the oppo-
sition followed up with such sue
cess-except insulting the dog
was greatly handicapped by the
lack of funds to carry the plans
into full success, and also by the
lack of active workers. The Ii
cense had money, and all the
newspapers on their side of the
question, and on the day before
the election the Hartford Times
came out with a symposium of all
that had been said editorially by
the seven papers against no-li-
cense. Without doubt that page
was worth several times what it
cost to the liquor. people, as the
newspapers have great influence
in setting public opinion in Hart
ford's mixed population.
For the first time in seven or
eight years a woman was elected
on the school board of visitors.
This is a great victory for our
Franchise department, and meant
a tremendous amount of work on
the part of Mrs. E. D. Bacon, pres
ident of the Equal Rights Associa-
ton of Hartford, and superinten-
dent of Franchise for Hartford w.
G. T. U. There are one thousand
women voters in the city, but only
200 voted at this election, while
the men voters of the city were
never before SO nearly all repre-
sented.
New Britain will have it's city
election the second week of April.
Much interest Is being aroused
there in the license question.
Present indications promise q clos
or fight than that of Hartford with
more assurance of victory.-Union

RELATIVES GIVE SKIN
TO SAVE CHILD'S LIFE
Mother, Sister and Brother Contribute
Epidermis to Be Grated Upon
Burns of Nlne-Year-
Old Girl

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-To save the
life of 9-year-old Mildred Lynch, her
mother, brother and sister COVE por-
lions of their own skin. 1t was cut off
and grated over nearly a third of the
suffering child's body.
Mildred fell into a bonfire while play
ing near her home at SS8 Pine street
Brooklyn, a few weeks ago. She was
taken to the Children's hospital, burned
from her hips to her toes. Drs. Brown
and Carhi1l decided that skin grating
must be resorted to.
Mildred's mother is poor widow.
She has four children, one younger
than Mildred. The others are Arthur
and Isabella, aged Is and is respec-
lively.
1T will give my own skin to save my
Mildred" cried the mother when the
doctors told her of their decision.
1--WE will give ours, too" sobbed Ar
thur and Isabella.
Mildred was moved to the Kings
County hospital. There Drs. Barber
and Woolsey assisted Drs. Cahill and
Brown in the operation. Mrs. Lynch,
Arthur and Isabella were placed under
an anaesthetic. Rapidly the doctors cut
the skin from the thighs of mother and
children. Little Mildred's awful burns
were covered before Arthur, who was
first to come out of the anaesthetic,
opened his eyes.
"How did Mildred pull through" he
gasped.
Her life is saved" said one Of the
doctors.
IT was the most extensive skin graft
ing operation in the records of the hos
pital.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The effort
made by coterie Of negro actors, in
Guiding Bert A. Williams of Williams
and Walker and others, to obtain the
approval of the supreme court to the
incorporation of an organization under
the name of 1.-THE Frogs" has met with
failure. Justice Golf in a long decision
declines to affix his signature to the
document on the ground that the title
and objects of the association are in
congruous.
ITO promote social intercourse be-

Justice Golf.
THE accomplishment, or even the
effort to accomplish this scheme OF
aesthetic magnificence is to be highly
commended, and to breathe into it legal
life by my signature would be regarded
by me as a duty and its performance q
source OF great pleasure" he continues,
"but the corporate name selected is so
homogeneous that / hesitate to cement
the connection between the sublime and
the grotesque.
what earthly connection is there be-
tween Frogs the proposed corporate
name, and the noble purposes of the
corporation? 1t can be truly and cor
rectIy said that in the important fuLc-
tons of creating an artificial person to

privileges, the law will not and should
not permit the intrusion of the comic
element, to give it's solemn approval to
the ludicrous. This certificate will not
be approved under the proposed corpo-
rate title"

this morning by Jack Peters, coach
man for John S. Cravens Of South
Orange Grove avenue. Peters was ex-
ercising the jumper, Old Sport, when
the team came dashing along, one OF
the horses having no bride. Keeping
by their side and steering them away
frog passing vehicles, Peters finally
ran the pair into a pole at Monterey

A bridge crossing the wash at Maple
avenue was almost destroyed by fire
this morning. The Mentor avenue

Pastor

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 22.-Claiming
that the mems church, in which. hus-
bands and fathers are allowed to smoke
and sit in shirt sleeves, is too attrac-
tive. a score Of wives have protested
to the Rev. Sydney Goodman, pastor
of the new idea congregation, that their
husbands would rather go to church
than stay home. The protest took the
form of a letter read before the male
congregation by the rector, but ne re-
fused to give out the names of the irate
wives who had made the protest.
Church is all right for men but our
husbands are staying out as late sun
day night to attend your service as
they do on lodge nights" said the let
ter. 1--WE insist that some of the at
fractions be cut out or else the services
be cut down so that they can get home
in decent time"
So pleasant has been the weekly
Sunday night meetings of the Mems
church that the men have insisted on
the services being strung out longer
and longer, with the fine programs of
music and singing interspersed with
moving pictures, soft drinks and
cigars, which latter have become an
important part of the services. AS a
result Of the protest, the meetings will
be opened earlier next Sunday night
and will be halted at an hour which
will allow the men getting home before
10 o'clock.

Who Ground Sixty
Inch Lens

Special to The Herald
PASADENA, Aug. 22.-The largest
lens in the world, represented now
only by a. glass casting weighing four
tons, has been shipped from st. Go
balm, France, to the Mount Wilson
solar observatory, established by the
Carnegie institution.
The disk, when it arrives. will be
placed in the observatory workshop at
Santa Barbara street and Lake ave-
nue., where 1t will be ground under
the direction of Or. George Ritchey.
When completed the lens will be 100
inches in diameter. The sixty-inch lens
OF the observatory, which was taken
to the summit a few weeks ago, was
also cast at st. Gobain, where is To-
Gated q factory which makes practical
ly all the good telescope lenses in use.
This lens was also ground by DR..
Ritchey who was occupied three years
ago on the task 1t is possible that
the new lens may require as much as
I'VE years before it is finally erected
in a specially constructed building on
the summit of the mountain.
]. D. Hooker of Los Angeles is the
donor of the lens. Struck by the pos
sibilities of results obtainabie from
lens far larger than any now known,
he gave $4,000 to pay for the work of
casting the glass and polishing it. The
Carnegie institution will probably pro-
vide funds to erect a building for 1t.
The sixty-inch lens now on the peak
is as large as any in USE but there is
one other of the same size. Scientists
say that the Hooker gift will UNI
doubtedly make possible most startling
revelations. 1t will be used exclusively
for observations of the sun.

SHORT NOTES AND NEWS OF
SAM BERNARDINo HAPPENINGS

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. a.
Word was received here last night of
the death of Mrs. Joseph Lester at
Los Angeles. The deceased was wife
of Joseph Lester, a wealthy rancher
of Chino, who for years has been
prominent in county politics. Mrs.
Lester has lived in San Bernardino for
the past three years, having separated
from her husband. The couple were
almost constantly in the divorce
courts, but neither could obtain a di-
vorce owing to the i'll health of the
wife. She had a suit pending for
maintenance.
Deputy Sheriff Ed Poppett this
morning brought to San Bernardino
the news that a syndicate of Los An
geles men is setting out 5000 acres of
desert land near Otis to eucalyptus
trees. The enterprise is said to have
large financial backing. and that there
is every reason to believe that within
the next five years the etrritory will
be a fiourishing grove is reported by
those interested.

PARTNER IN GLOVE
SYNDICATE" IS WED
Mrs. Brown Is Married Secretly to
Her Champion and Is Now En-
gagged in Writing Her
Memoirs

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Mrs. Izela W.
Brown, one of the heads of the Love
Syndicate which flourished two years
ago, was married recently at st. Johns,
Newfoundland, to Robert III. Reid, a
Montreal man.
The news will surprise many men
who had dealings with her and with
Bin9 Verrault.
One Philadelphia man contributed
several hundreds of dollars toward the
Love Syndicate.
Mr.. Reid was formerly a contractor
and builder, and at one time was a
member of the New York Athletic club.
He will be remembered as the "Un-
known Stalwart," who so vigorously
championed Mrs. Browns cause during
the trying times following the discov-
cry of the syndicate.
When the House of Hearts was dis
rupted, the two Queens" separated.
Mrs. Verrault went west, to die at
Tonopah, New, a short time ago. The
two women had been friends for years,
and the death of Mrs. Verrault was a
hard blow to Mrs. Brown.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reid are supposed to be
somewhere in Newfoundland at pres
ent, keeping house in the proverbial
love cottage, while Mrs. Reid is en-
gagged in writing her memoirs of the
Love Syndicate with the aid of two
Massachusetts, writer's, one Boston
newspaperman, who are at present ar
ranging and classifying the scores of
ardent love letters received by the
Love Syndicate, with their answers.
Meanwhile, many men who were WIS.,
itors at the House Of Hearts, in West
Eighty-second street, are trembling lest
their identity be so thinly yelled that
they will be recognized in the train of
admirers who paid court to the syn
dictate.
In the host are reported to be well
known physicians, lawyers, ministers,
brokers, senators and congressman, to
say nothing of one nobleman, reputed to
be of royal blood of Spain.
