"sILENCE OF THE GOOD"
1t Pains Miss Willard, So She Defend
Banker kean.

1t Pains Miss Willard, So She Defends
Banker Kean.
CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-A remarkable letter
will be published here tomorrow from
Frances Z. Willard, president of the Ma
tional Women's Christian Temperance
union, regarding circumstances attaching
to the disastrous failure of the bankers of
the organization, y. A. Kean 4 Co.. which
is attracting such widespread attention.
Miss Willard opens with an ardent defense
OF Mr.. kean, reciting his thirty years Of
clean life and helpful service in Chicago
home missionary work; his continuous hon
orable connection with the banking busi-
ness; the fact that he has successfully
weathered all previous financial crises. She
says she has been waiting for days to sec
some leader in pulpit or pew come into the
arena of public controversy in the bankers
defense. II am panied beyond expression"
said she, ''by this silence Of the good. II
is, then. true that the worlds people stand
by each other better than do members of
the household Of faith" The Women's
Christian Temperance union and
its affiliated interests have had
Mr.. Kean for banker during several
years: He ~. is leading prohibitionist, q
knows what hatred Of the temperance
cause may be back Of all this2 what blow
aimed at an organized movement against
the liquor trafacS Miss Willard says the
losses of the organization and branches
are, happily small, and adds: "Hnt I know
by my correspondence that the press Of the
country has been given to understand that
an appalling calamity has overtaken the
white ribbon movement. Possibly the wish
is father to the thought. There is JOY in
heaven over one sinner that rcpenteth;
there is doubtless JOY in hell over one saint
that falls. Beyond peradventure there is
rejoicing in every Rrog shop Of the city
when the temperance cause or any of it's
advocates is overtaken by misfortune,
or real"
Miss Willard concludes with hope for
the best; belief in the rehabilitation OF the
reputation and triumph OF eternal Justice
toward the banker as we'll az his depositors.

A SAD DEATH.
Suicide of a Daughter of Gen. Simeon


Mills.
Mrs. Hayes, vile of DR.. Charles c..
Hayes, leading physician of Hyde
Park, Mass, while laboring under nerv-
Gus prostration, committed suicide on
the 2Sth, by deliberately walking into
the Neponset River, all dressed as if for
church. The lady is highly con-
nected, being the daughter of
Gen. Mills, of Madison, who sur
wives her. Her only son, Mills
Hayes, IS prominent lawyer in
st. Paul, Mimi. Mrs. Hayes was so
years old and for the past decade has
been a martyr of an acute nervous afec-
ton. She suffered greatly, and in hopes
that new scenes would give her tortured
mind a rest she sold her beautiful
home a few months since, but instead of
relief she grew worse and deeply re-
gretted her action. This preyed
terribly on her mind. DR.. Hayes
returned home late Saturday even
ing, and found his wife sleep
ing. When he awoke next morning she
was gone, and he found pinned on the
wall a note for him from his wife in
which she said she could stand her
trouble no longer, and, after an affec-
tionate goodbye, announced that her
body would be found in the Neponset
River. Later in the day the body was
recovered. Foot prints on the shore
showed that she had deliberately walked
into the river and laid down in the
water where it was scarcely over her

taken into custody by Sheriff Henton,
charged with burning the residence and

which thirteen horses lost their lives.
A few days ago Miss May Owen made a
confession to Cameron that her mother
and Mrs. Freeman, sister of Miss Will
loughby, set the fire and received
from Miss Willoughby $50 for dom
the work. Upon the affidavit of the
Owen girl the warrant was issued and
the arrest made just as Miss Willough

DUBLIN, Sept. 26.-The streets Of Tip
peray were thronged with people till q

prolonged consultation in the evening.
