,The defeat In New Jersey will only

Our Next Talk. Wed- Oet. 2T
By Joseph C. Ferguson, Jr.
T is asserted by one
oi the most noted
eye specialists of
England, that
case of insomnia is directly
caused by detectivo eyes.
This assertion Is made as
the result of investigations
which have extended over a
Period of many years.
This Is -explained by tho
fact that insomnia is really a
result of nervous breakdown
r-and the nervous system can
5 affected to a wonderful
degree by defective eyes.
Proper attention to one's
eyes demands that an Oculist
the physician who not only
understands eye troubles, but
their relation to bodily Ills as
well-be consulted.
If the Oculist should find
glasses necessary, take his
Prescription to an optician
who exercises every safeguard
n the filling of prescriptions.

antl viewpoint
"Tho married men of New Jersey," tho
said, -went to the polls yesterday and
aereatcd the amendment. And tho defeat
r-roves once more that the majority! of
the women do not want the vote, because
men are.naturnlly chivalrous and Its safe
to say that the family man voted as hla
women folk wanted him to.
"Another point that we were glad to
twte," ihe continued. "Is that a big vote
was polled. Suffrage never has won when,
p. majority of the male voters cast their
ballots. The only fair way to decide this
question, once for all. Is to put It before
those vshom It most directly conCerns
the women. The 'antls' have always

? 150,000 CAMPAIGN BEGINS
Memorial to Lincoln in Hospital and
Farm Colony to Rcduco Disease
and Crime Among Negroes
The 10-day campaign to raise J1M.000
for the Lincoln Memorial Hospital for
tho treatment of sick negroes was
launched today from tho headquarters at
S08 Wldcner Building. Moro than 300
workers began a canvas for pledges.
A hospital for the healing of sick
negroes is the one practical agency for
tho solution of the negro problem, tho
directors believe. A majority of all negro
criminals nro diseased, and to cure those
mentally or physically ill Is tho aim of
the plan.
A hospital will be founded In the heart
of tho negro colony, where acute cases
will bo treated. A rural retreat will bo
located near the city for convalescents
and ailing negroes from all over the
State, who will mako tho scheme virtu
ally self-sustaining by working. The
farm colony will supply food for the city
hospltnl. Tho present Mercy Hospital
nnd School for Nurses, at 17th and Fltz
water streets, is adequato for the work,
as only a small percentage of tho cases
treated result In complete cures becauso
It Is tmposslblo for the patients to pass
successfully through convalescence. The
management of the hospital will co-op-crate
with other hospitals and sociologi
cal institutions to secure better housing
and penal conditions.
A meeting will be held at Grace Union
African Methodist Episcopal Church. 19th
street, above Federal street, at 8 o'clock
tonight when white and negro speakers
will'make addresses. The officers of tho
hospital aro Walter P. Hall, president;

Harris, secretary; Martin J. Lehman,
treasurer, and Dr. Algernon B. Jackson,
superintendent. The advisory board con

DR. ANNA HOWARD SHAW
UNDISMAYED BY DEFEAT
"We have not lost New jersey because
It has never hern onr we eannot losei
we ran only win," said Dr. Anna Howard
Shaw, president of the National Woman
Sum-are Association.
"The failure lo carVy the election In
New Jersey Is not n defeat," Doctor
Shaw's statement says, "It Is simply a
postponement, and Instead of despalrlnr
of final surer will only Inspire the true
lovers of freedom to more perfect co
operation and grrater teal.
"We have not lost New Jersey because
It has never been our. We cannot loe
we ran only win. This delay Is stilt n
victory for suffrage, for this splendid
rampnlgn has proved woman's loyalty to
a great purpose nnd her Indomitable
courage In the face of great odds and
unscruptilou foes and methods.
"The sun will rise tomorrow on n re
organized army, itndaunted and hopeful,
vthose flag will never be furled until
women are politically free. It Is now
for the men In New York to show them-sT-lve
more worthy of tlfelr freedom and
to show their gratitude to -the women
mho have helped to make this great
State, by their vote on November 3."
STEALS TO BE "GENTLEMAN
"Handsome Harry" Comes to Grief
Despite His Fino Clothes
"Just to feel llko a gentleman once
again."
There was a wistful, faraway look In
tho eyes 6f "Handsome Harry" Trunell.
53 years old, as he straightened tip before
Magistrate iioyle, of the 39th street and
Lancaster rfvenue station, today nnd ex
plained why hd had taken 21 from a
benefactor.
Trunell, who observes a sphynxllke
silence when niked where he lives, turned
up, weather-beaten and ragged, at the
bmter-nnd-egg stora of Samuel TolokofT,
4104 Lanrnuter avenue, two wcelcs ago
and begged to bo allowed to sleep In the
basement until he secured work. Tolo
koft consented) and all went well u-tll
yesterday, when $21 wns missing from
tho cash drawer.
Simultaneously tho cellar tenant under
went a marvelous transformation. Im
maculate In his new suit, new oxfords,
new fedora, new shirt, new collar, new
cravat, haircut, shave and waxed mus
tache, he looked every inch a gentleman;
and, as Is tho caso with mnny "gentle
men," ho lurched a wee bit as he strolled
down Lancaster avenue. There wasn't a
penny In his pockets when Detective
Farmer arrested him, and he admitted
that a champagne cocktail had wiped out
the lost vestige of the "fortune." Ho
was held In $S00 ball for court.
Mrs. Widcncr Buys Newport Home
Word was received here today that Mrs.
Joseph K. Wldener had bought Rough
Point, the fine estate on' the Newport
cliff, which was developed by Frederick
Vandcrbllt. The estate consists of a hand
some stone villa and broad lawns. Tho
house is regarded as one of tho finest In
that section of the country.
SUFFRAGE BEATEN
IN NEW JERSEY
Continued from Iare One
of 12 against the suffrage amendment.
Tho defeat In thli county was a particu
larly bitter blow to the suffragists, as It
wns counted on as one of their strong
holds. Hurllngton County's vote on suffrago,
with a few small districts stilt missing,
shows a majority of approximately 1300
against the amendment. Olher amend
ments were defeated by majorities of
from 1600 to SO00. About 60 per cent, of the
registered voto was cast throughout the
county and tho balloting was lightest In
the rural districts, whercithe suffrage ad
vocates had anticipated their greatest
strength.
Prnctlcally every liquor dealer in tho
county, with his lieutenants, was on the
flrlpg lino against the amendments nnd
marshaled every available voto In opposl
tlonN The fact that Burlington city gave
the suffrago nmehdment n. majority of
five Is regarded by leaders of the "dry"
forces as a certain prediction of local
victory over the "wets" in tho coming
election of councllmcn, In which the clos
ing of tho 0 local saloons Is tho Issue.
"Wets" were believed to havo brought
out their entire strength against suffrage
yesterday, and the fact that even with
Independent antl-suffrago voters the suf
frago nmendment carried Is a hopeful
sign to tempcranco leaders.
FIRST OF FOUR TKSTS.
Tho test In New Jersey was the first
of four In the East. The defeat Is hailed
with Joy by tho antls in Pennsylvania,
New York and Massachusetts today for
the effect It Is expected to havo on tho
elections In those States November 2.
Loaders of tho suffrage cause realize that
thpy will have to tight harder than ever
now to save the day.
Many charges of fraud were made by
tho suffragists In Trenton, but they ad
mitted that this probably did not nffect
the final result. Itnther they Inld their
ilrfent to the political mnchlne nnd the
liquor Interests. They accused tho po
litical leaders of not playing fair; that,
Instead of keeping hands oft in the fight,
they meddled to the detriment of the
suffrage cause.
Professor G. W. Shock Honored
George Washington Shock, professor
emeritus of mathematics of the Central
High School, who taught for 61 consecu
tive years In this city, was presented
with a loving cup today at exercises held
In the auditorium In his honor. The token
was the gift of the faculty.
