slant Misrepresentation of Miss
Frances E. Wizards words and deeds
is afforded by an incident that occur
ed last week. Without invitation on
previous arrangement Miss Willard
attended meeting of the Salvation
Army in Chicago at which Commits
sioner Ballington Booth and his wife
Maude Cbarlesworlh Booth presided
Mrs. Booth, who is valued personal
friend of Miss Wizards, espied her

ing her to say few works. Miss
Willard in puDlic and cordial re-
spouse TO this request expressed her
sisterly sympathy with the movement
and merely suggested that hereafter

The next morning one of Chicago's
leading dailies came out with the
sensational announcement that Miss
Willard now proposed union be-
tween the Salvation Army and the
w. G. 7. u, and the changes are
being rung upon this false statement.
Inasmuch as for several years it has
been the custom of the W. G. T. U.
TO invite the Independent Order of
Good Templars, the Knights Of Labor
and other great humanitarian organ
izations to send fraternal delegates to
the annual meeting of the w. Y. U =,
this particular, present misinterpre,

The underground walls of the
Woman's Temperance temple in
Chicago are now in process of con
struction. The contract for the en-.
tire building has been let and it is to
be ready for occupancy by May l.,
1892. A large number of applica-
tions for officers have already been
received. This will probably be the
finest building in the city. The
chief feature of the interior will be
Willard hall, magnificent audience
room, lined with marble, on the
ground floor and in the southwest
corner of the building, with capacity
of six hundred. where daily meetings
will he he'd, and where the incense
Of prayer for the inebrite ard for the
temperance cause will perpetnally
ascend. The laying OF the corner
stone has been postponed to Septem-
Der ID, the earliest date at which
Miss Willard can be present. This,
however, will not delay the work on
other parts Of the building.

A beloved friend and co-laborer
Mrs. George Hu'se Mcleod, died at
her residence on III Harlem ave,
BALTIC, July I'd. So, one by one. the
workers step out of the ranks at the
summons, 1.-THE Master calleth for
thee" and rest from their labors.
Precious is their memory. Mrs.
Mcleod was identified with the w.
G. T. U. from its formation in Balti-
more, being chaser Cor. Sec. on its
first board of officers, and her whole
soul was enlisted in the work. Mrs.
Mcleod was a native of Florida and
partly educated in Paris. She was of
a poetic temperance and possessed a
most sympathetic and loving nature.
For years she was the principal of
the Southern Literary Institute for
Young Ladies in this city, and
among her pupils were some from
nearly every Southern State. This
fact gave her an extensive acquain-

and skilfully used to set forth the
work and aims of the W. G. T. u.

Till within a brief period of her
death, she did what she could as
Asst. Correspondent to the National

of Christian patience, and peace.
During that period we have but sci

her greater pleasure than TO be re.
