HALL TO SUFFRAGISTS

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Not content
with opening Marble House at New
port for suffragette lectures and giving
the National Woman's Suffrage Assoc
citation luxurious headquarters in Fifth
avenue. Mrs o. H. p. Belmont an
nounced yesterday that she is building
an addition to be called the Armory'

the late Mr. Belmonis house. Bel
court, at Newport, in her new house
at AIT Madison avenue, which is TO DE
devoted to the cause this winter. THIS
new house now is nearing completion
the architect promising that 1t will be
ready for occupancy on January 1.
SINCE my house has been started,
said Mrs. Belmont, Il have become an
ardent suffragette. IT seemed to me
could serve the cause in no better way
than by providing a large hall In which
prominent suffragettes might lecture
during the winter.
MY enthusiasm for suffrage grows
all the time. Every one of my chill
dren is sympathetic with me in re-
gard to the work. OF course, it would
be impossible for the Duchess of Mari
borough to be an active suffragette, but
she believes in the idea. Two Of my
sons, w. K. Vanderbilt, Jr.. and Har-
old Vanderbilt, have promised to sit
on the platform at the public lectures,
which will be given at Marble House
in Newport on August "a and 2S."

WEARS SKIN OF EIGHT
MEN ON HIS BACK

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 13.-When Police
man Horner RECEIVERS he will find that he
is wearing the skin of eight men on his
back. Some two weeks ago while arrest
ing a burglar. Horner was shot in the
back. Horner succeeded, however. in
knocking down and Handwriting the man,
and then collapsed. In locating the bull
let, the surgeons used X-rays and the
flesh around the wound was so badly
burned it would not heal. 1t became
necessary to remove large square of
the skin and cut away the burned flesh.
and this necessitated the grating of new
skin. Horner was too weak to submit to
cutting skin from other portions of his
body, and, moreover, ten square inches
had to be covered.
A few mornings ago at roll call at the
central police station, the captain spoke
Of Horner, and remarked that unless
men could be found who would be willing
to give some of their skin in the interest
of humanity, one brave man would die.
Six policemen, VIII Horner, the wounded
mans brother, and City Physician Tubbs
volunteered. The operation, performed
yesterday, was a success.

fourth triennal convocation Of the general

try to the state, the principal officers of
every grand council and chapter, and
there is one of each in nearly every state
besides the territories and island poses
