The brothers are ll and 20 years old, re- spectively. \v*hlle the burn was considered very serious'â- $$ the time of the Injury, It waa thought a new cutiole would form. Is spite of careful medical attention, the burn was so deep that the new skin tissue was destroyed and it ha* been decided by the attending physi- cians that a skin-grafting operation is all that will cause the wound tc heal in the proper manner. The brothers quickly offered to give up their outicle for their sister. They will occupy wards next to the one in which their lister will be kept.

"The state legislature ia lasy, and the O'Hara vice Investigation is a fizzle," Is the summing up of the ac- complishments of the legislature of the state of Illinois that Mrs. Cath- arine Waugh McCulloch gave to the Current Events class at the Bvanston rsTXhnsT SchaeferraTwiaow who w K^ngTHgatlonai church Sunday morn- •Idea *in Kline street. The accident happened when the girl started down the basement stairs with a kettle of boiling water to assist her mother in the family washing. She slipped and fell, spilling the boiling water over her limbs* For several days follow- in& the terrible burns, her life waa held by a thread, so Intense was her suffering. Now the only relief and hOpe of the wound healing Is. the skin grafting operation. KNOWN MAN DIES SUDDENLY ThomtfVfcfro^rimg, Board of Trade Member Ex- I%Hw*in Home Monday. Thomas W. Browning, a retired member of the Chicago Board ot Trade, dled^utddenly in his home in Downing avenue, Aglencoe, Monday morning shortly bWore 6 o'clock. Death was caused by heart disease of which he had been a sufferer for the last three years. For some time Mr. Browning has been in poor health* He arose Mon- day morning early and shortly before 6 o'clock was found dead, seated in a chair. A coroner's Inquest* was held Tuesday morning. The verdict was that death was caused by heart trou- ble. Mr. Browning was 47 years old. He was a member of several prominent clubs and was widely known In busl ness circles in Chicago. He was born In Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 4, 1806. After securing a public school educa- tion there he came to Chicago in 1879. On April 6, 1904, he was mar- rted with Mies Esther St John. He waa tdmtifted with Prtegle, Fife A Bank*", and later was connected with Walter Fitcb * Co. He was forced to retire from ooflve business three years ago on account of health. Mr. Browning waa a member of the Chi- cago Athletic club and the South Shore CoSttfiryianb. Mrs- Browning was found dead in a bath tub in the home of her brother, fL R 8t Mb*. *» Biol Wabash ave- nue, Chicago, in October, 1911.

"Why do the state legislators lost at the beginning of .the session and rush things at the end ot the session?" said the Bvanston woman. "The leg- islators of California work six days a week. The Illinois legislator works Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, except when there Is an election at home, or a conference tat Washington, pr any one of the hundred and one things that he prefers to do happening on those days.

In a meet- ing conducted ttt^ the home of .8. Hamm, recently, jthe adult membership of the congregation has been revived during the last few weeks by Rev. Horace Smith, the new pastor, it was decided that g church building of such dimensions. #slgn and finish as will be in keepinjf wlfn the standards of the communjltjr, to be located on an available site, shall be erected and ready for dedication not later than September 1, 1»1^ *;"; The location of the new structure was finally decided upon after much discussion. The trustees of the con' gregation were authorised to enter Into negotiations for the lot directly opposite the Woman's Library club. Building Commlttss Chosen. A buHding committee composed of the following hag been named: 8, B. Pope, J. Powers, DoVb. Marsh, W. 8. Hamm and William Fox. This com- mittee la instntettid by the unanimous vote of the membership of the church to start at once on the campaign tor' the new church structure. This move on-the part of the Olen- coe churchmen nMltks the final step in the plan which Jftthodisrq has long held of esUbltsblng itself In Olencoe. There is no other lehurch of this de- nomination betweeh Wilmette and Highland Park. Olencoe has seemed to be the most convenient location of formation. Mr. O'Hara has evidently queered himeelf. He Is down and out. He will never get any other office. The only good thing he did was to teach growing boys who may be ambitious to be lieutenant-governor not to go to dinner at midnight with women they don't know. "The state legislature approved of three proposed changes in the United States constitution. Thirty-four states, with Illinois leading, have approved of the anti-polygamy bill. The initia- tive and referendum bill Is evidently favored by the people of the state. The Progressives, Socialists and Democrats are in favor of it Bnt the bill is not passed because some who promised to vote for it were not loyal to their promise. "The educational bills proposed are numerous. None of them, perhaps, will pass. The conference vocational bill ought, perhaps, to pass. The Cooley bill may slip through. Do you know that there are 3,718 teachers in IUInofs'Scbools who receive less than $300 a year? The temperance bills, prohibiting saloons within five miles of the naval station and four miles of the university, and the county option bill, which the farmers want, are ex- cellent bills. Five-sixths of IlllaoH is dry territory." Mrs. McCulloch addressed a large company. Many want the Current Events class to continue all through June. Many students who have been in attendance at the class all win- ter, expressed their gratitude for the instruction given them.. Miss Mary L. Childa presided. 8he suggested that the members of the class write her, Indicating speakers desired end topics that It would be well to dis- cuss. On Sunday, June f.

He gained his high school and early college education in Bvanston and followed this by gaining a thorough knowledge in medicine.
