TAKE CARE OF YOUR EYES
First Symptoms Of Discomfort Should
Be the Signal for Prompt Rene
dial Measures.

Nothing will more quickly inter-
fere with the general feeling of we'll
being than some abnormal condition
of the eyes. Working steadily day
after day at some very absorbing oc-
cupation, trouble with the eyes may
come on almost imperceptibly. You
may have headache and lassitude be-
fore locating the real difficulty, Sc
that the eye affection has gained
Roadway before it is detected. You
will feel as if there were thickness
all about the eyes, and between
them. Don't go to the optician be-
fore trying to cure yourself. He
might put glasses on you which you
do not need. Bathing the eyes with
hot water, and little boracic acid
or salt, will help them. However,
the hot water loosens the skin about
the eyes. Cold water solution may
not act as quickly, but it will evcntu-
ally allay the difficulty. Ice COM
presses in the morning and at night
also bring relief. Wear an eyeshade
while working, to keep the light from
striking downward on the eyes. In
a very irrita!ed case smoked glasses
may be worn in the street. But they
should be rather light, and dispensed
with as soon as possible. Treat the
eyes with the very first symptom Of
discomfort.

Bandf Legs Of Man Watching Fire
i4orrify Gallant Would-be
ResCuer.

The great Chicago fire is recalled
by Mr.. F. F. Cook in "Bygone Days
in Chicago" and be tells this anus
lug story Of Isaac Spear, a we'll
known matchmaker in the early days.
Mr.. Spear was very short, and so alb
normally bandy-legged as to attract
instant attention.
He was in the forefront of the
crowd, watching the fire, and at one
time became 80 absorbed in the spec
tacle that he stood at point Of im-
minent danger, like one transfixed.
A kindly newsboy, alarmed at the
situation, rushed CALAMITY forward
and, tapping him on the shoulder,
shouted above the din:
"Say, mister, if you don't come
away you'll burnv'
The caution not having the de-
sired effect, the youngster sprang to
the rescue a second time. Once more
he gave anxious warning, and still
Isaac paid no heed.
On returning to place Of safety,
the boy, to his horror, observed the
little mans deformity. Screening
his face with his arms, he charged
again into the consuming heat, and,
while literally dragging the watch
maker to place Of safety, shrieked
in his ear:
"You must come away! You're
warning p,-Ymth'a Communion.

MRS. WAKEFIELD
 FOUND GUILTY
Jury Convicts Young Mother of Conspiring With PIew to
 Kill Her Husband.
PENALTY IS HANGING
She Is the First Woman To Be Found Guilty of First De- gree Murder in the His
 tory of Connecticut.

New Haven, Nov Mrs Bessie J. Wakefield of Middlebury, 24 years old, charged with being an accessory to the murder. of her husband, William o. Wakefield, was yesterday afternoon found guilty by 8 jury in the superior court of murder in the first degree The jury went out at 11:45 in the morning and did not return with the verdict until 3:55 o'clock in the after noon, being our four hours and ten minutes.
 As the jury filed into the court room, Mrs. Wakefield leaned forward on the counsel table, with her hand over her eyes. as though sobbing, but when the time came to stand up and face the jury. she did it with perfect composure. She seemed hardly able to stand, but her eyes were undimmed by teams. She faced the jury for a moment and then turned her face away.
 The jurymen themselves seemed to be more moved by the spectacle. Sev- era1 of them deliberately turned as they stood up so that they could not see the prisoner
 It is admitted that Mrs. Wakefield is the first woman to be found guilty of murder in the first degree in the history of the. state of Connecticut. In previous eases of a. similar nature, the jury has always evaded the issl e by finding women murderers guilty in the second degree, for which. the pun ishment is life Imprisonment. If Mrs. Wakefield is not granted a new trial or her sentence commuted, she will be the first woman to be hanged by legal process in the state. The only other woman ever hanged within the limits of Connecticut was hanged in Windham county, for witchcraft, in the 160O's. That was in the colonial days and before the present state of Connecticut existed.
 Mrs. Wakedeld's perfect composure while the verdict was being announced may be explained by the report that she expected to be found guilty of first degree murder She had steeled her self for the ordeal. Judge Burpee re- manded her in the care of the sheriff High Sheriff Hugo was present in person-and she was taken back to the jail to await sentencing, which will probably be on Tuesday morning, to which time Judge Burpee ad- journed court.

WOOD TO BE NEXT
 GRAFT WITNESS

New York. NOV Eugene D. Wood will probably be the next witness call ed to testify in the John Doe" pro ceedings instituted against Tammany by John A. Hennessy, Fusion cam paigner and late graft investigator for William Sulzer.- The bulk of the tes- timony given by Hennessy yesterday was based, he said, on information given him by Wood. Wood is quoted here today as saying he will testify if subpoenaed-
 Hennessy's story, as drawn from him by District Attorney Whitman, con sisted chiefly of hearsay evidence that highway and barge canal contracts had been ''sandbagged'' into contrib utinz heavily to Tammany; that Ed ward E. Mccall, present Tammany candidate for mayor, had been noni- mated for the supreme court bench in 1909 at the urging of the late Anthony N. Brady and Big Tim Sullivan and that to meet a f'campaign assessment, Mccall had been forced to borrow money from w. w. Mclaughlin, for mer police inspector.

PRINCE ERNST
 BECOMES DUKE
 OF BRUNSWICK

Brunswick, Ger, Nov. 1.-The gov ernment of the Duchy of Brunswick, which has been without reigning Duke since 1884, was assumed today by the young Prince Ernst August of Cumberland who on May A married Princess Victoria Louise, only daugh- ter of the German Emperor and Elm press. The new Duke, in a declara- ton issued today, promised unswerT- ing loyalty to the German empire and Emperor and to the federated rulers of Germany. He thus implicitly. although not actually. renounced his preten- tionss to the throne of the kingdom Of Hanover annexed to Prussia in 1886 when it allied Itself with Austria against Prussia
 Prince Ernst August's father, the Duke of Cumberland, the rightful heir to the Kingdom of Hanover, as well as The DukedoIn of Brunswick, has stead fastIy refused to renounce his claims to the succession to Hanover and has therefore not been permitted to reign as Duke of Brunswick. He has always lived in exile in Austria
 Since 1884 the Duchy Of Brunswick has been under a regency.

It was not until Mrs. Wakefield got to the joi1 that she broke down. She wept and sobbed for several hours. The principal reason for her distress seemed not so much for herself as for her mother, Mrs. Frank Webster, of Middlebury, and her two little chil- dren, a boy, aged 4, and little girl, aged 2. Throughout her paroxysns of grief, she kept crying for her Baby BelIe,'' the name of the little girl. It was not until late last night that she quieted down and sank into a troubled sleep.
 Mrs. Wakefield is a woman of re- markable physical powers and her trouble has not had any noticeable effect on her health. She was attend ed last night by the jail physician.
 James P1ew, her self confessed ac- complice, who did the actual drug ging, shooting and stabbing of the husband, is before the court on a question of the degree of his guilt.
 Plew was in court and heard the woman, with whom he had lived in Middlebury, declare upon oath that she did not conspire to kill her hus- band, although she had said she d1d when examined by the Coroner. Af- ter the Wakefield jury went out Judge Burpee opened the P1ew hearing and suspended it to receive the jury's yer dict.
