 ., Suffrlgists Up In Arms.
 Some of the kensington suffragists nearly became peeved last evening upon reading in the Herald's account of the Oestman fire Thursday night that men-mere men-gave the alarm which summoned the men, who pumped the we'll, which supplied the water which failed to foil the flames.

 Some of the ladies of the neighbor- hood and several who were passing were among the first on the scene and took an active part in fighting the fire, working the pump and filling and passing pails of water. The ladies actually formed the first line.

 "Other of the women did their parts in arousing tho neighbors, tele- phoning and helping to save what lit tic furniture was gotten out 1T don't think the Herald man in l tentionaHy neglected to give the ladies due credit He Droba bly was not inform cd of the fact, and having read the article by an esteemed fel- low-toWnsm man against woman suffrage recently published in the Hartford 1 Times, concluded that as the nervous temperament of women precluded the possibility of their appearing at the polls long enough to cast ballot of course they could not engage in such a nerve-racking episode as fight ing fire.
 Yours very truly.
