THIS WOMAN WANTS WILSON.
Says Organizations Can't Deliver all
 Fair Sex to Hughes.

New York, Aug. 9-Miss Mary Don nelly of the Fourteenth Assem- bly, District said yesterday:
 "The suffrage organizations are all on record for Hughes, and so are the leaders of the progressive party; but the suffrage leaders can no more hand over to Hughes the united support of the women of the country than Mr. Roosevelt and MT. Perkins can hand over the united support of the pro- gressives to MT. Hughes.
 But the real suffragists don't want states that don't want it. The real suffrag gists want to educate the men of every state until they are willing to give the women the vote in the state legislatures The Federal anacndment is not good democracy.
 If a woman is a democrat she should be for President Wilson, be- his solution of the suffrage problem is the democratic solution. And l believe the democratic women are for Wilson. I want to see a refer endum vote on it. I wish they would take such a vote down in the Four teenth and they would see that Hughes has not the support of the great majority of women as the sui frage leaders would have us believe.

STRICTER MARRIAGE LAWS
Registrar of Vital Statistics in New Haven Believes It Is Too Easy to Secure License in Connecticut.

New Haven, Aug. 9.-Registrar of Vital Statistics Robert E. Lee thinks it is too easy for couples to get mar 1iage licenses in this city. He says altogether too many people rush into marriage and then into the divorce courts They come in here to my Cffice,'' he said, "and want a license sometimes when they have known each other scarcely a few days, and perhaps they are on a merry lark and 1t occurs to them to finish the esca- pade by a marriage license. There should be a law in this state, as in New Jersey, which makes 1t obligatory upon couples presenting themselves for a marriage certificate to present evidence that they have known each ether a certain length of time. There two witnesses to each party are re- Quired to swear that to their knoWl- edge the couple have known one an- ether the prescribed time. I think that's all right Too many people get married who know nothing of each other and then there's trouble in a short time, and the divorce court is appealed to for relief. It would be much better for us to issue fewer G- censes''

Philadelphia Lawyer Draws Bill to

A bill providing for the payment OF
pension to all surviving Confederate SOL
ders and sailors. together with all the
rights and privileges of granting land,
the same as is done with Union soldiers
and sailors. has been drawn up by Francis
Tracy Tobir, mem. er of the Philadelphia

arises.
In addition. the bill provides that rela-
tres of Confederate soldiers who served
three months be paid n pension, the same
as is paid relatives of those who fought
on the side of the North.

at best, but the ensemble had all It's an
Client vigor its perfect control and its
delicacy which so seldom accompanies
these virtues.
Yet fine as "Coppelia" was, it was
dwarfed by n masterpiece of operate
work in 81 Pagllacci" That opera, al
ready so ancient. gives promise of per-
manence in repertoire which far exceeds
the promise of the other opera with which
1t is customarily given. Miss Teyte was
a favorable Media, but delightful as she
was to see, she suffered by her habit of
exposing herself to the audience rather
than to her fellow players. Her Silvio
was no better, so that the dramatic centre
of the opera was imperfect. To make up
the Canio of Ienatello and the Tonic of
Baklanof were both superb works. Mr..
Baklanoff precipitated smoking room
controversy by appearing for the prologue
in the black cloak and mask of Panta-
loon, a justihable garb and effective. His
clown was absurd almost indccently
stupid at the end, as he stood without
comprehension, munching an apple over
the dead body of Media. Mr.. Zenatello
again made it clear that he is, in all pos
sibility the best tenor in America. His
voice has suffered, but not as severely as
that of Caruso, and he is incomparably
a finer artist. His entrance. all liEhtness
and camaradere the strolling players
ease and insinuation, his gayety. all were
Immediately engaging. And except for
the moment when he initiated Caruso at
his worst, in the lament, the rest of the
performance was irreproaChable. Re
membering his Otello of a Saturday night
not so long ago. we wonder when Mr..
Zenatcllo will be returned to his own.
For these two operas alone, without the
ballet and the interesting experiments,
the Boston Opera Company must be
praised until criticism sounds like press
agentry 1t ought to be a terrible lesson
to the opera company which is killing
