MISS WILLARD ONCE ENGAGED.
But Her Lover Used Tobacco, Was Dis
missed and Became Methodist Bishop.

The recent rumor regarding the en-
gagment of Miss Frances E. Willard,
president of the National Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union, to an elderly
English gentleman of means, who uses
a large part of his annual income in the
furthering of reform movements, says the
New York World, has recalled to the
minds of many of Miss Willard's friends
in this country the romance Of her early
womanhood.
Miss Wizards devotion the tempera rance
cause is by no means coeval with the
great crusade Of the early 70's, whose out
come was the organization of hundreds of
Womans' Christian Temperance Unions.
Miss Willard s parents were among the
pioneers of the great Northwest, and
brought up their daughter with very
strict views as to the use of liquor and to-
bacco. Miss Willard prepared herself for
teaching, and while pursuing her studies
met young man who was studying for
the ministry, and who gave promise Of
attaining great prominence in his chosen
calling. Their common love of study
attracted them to each other, and the
young man felt that in Miss Willard he
had found the one woman who, as his
wife, would help him upward and would
carefully share the honors of the lofty
position at which he was aiming. Nor
was Miss Willard g heart untouched, and
the young mans matrimonial hopes
might have been realized but for her dis
covery that he was addicted to the use of
tobacco. She very promptly told him he
could choose between tobacco and herself,
and to all his pleadings opposed the one
cry: elf you love tobacco more than
you do me find some other woman who
will tolerate such habit.
AT length he ceased to urge her, and
they went their separate ways, she to re-
main single and become president of the
National Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, and one of the best parliamen-
tarians in the United States, and he to
marry someone else and become one of
the most prominent bishops of the Meth
odist Episcopal church.

Gen. Scholfield, who has been making
a tour of the army posts, says he has no
doubt that all the trouble with the Ban
nocks was brought on by the settlers.
The whites wanted the whole game
country for themselves, and when they
found the Bannocks upon it, arrested
them, and afterwards, when the Indians
tried to escape. killed them. Gen.
Skolfield is convinced that the Indians
never intended retaliation and that they
were as anxious as the whites for the
troops to come, fearing massacre by the
settlers.

effect of an object lesson on one of his as

The Harry Horr financial debate has
been financial failure as far as putting
dollars into the pockets of its projectors
is concerned. The public has manifested
but languid interest in it from the
start and the newspapers which began to
publish the debate in full soon found that
few brief paragraphs about it fully
satisfied the public demand.

The case of Miss Flagler, who shot the
colored boy who was poaching on her
premises, will probably be investigated
by the grand jury, as undoubtedly it
ought to be. The coroner's jury ap-
parently treated the affair as one of little
consequence, not even criticising the
recklessness with which she acted. There
was undoubtedly no intention of killing
on Miss Flaglers part, and she is no
doubt as sorry as any one can be at the
fatality that resulted; nevertheless the
fact remains that she acted with reck-
lessness that was without excuse and
which deserves some measure of punish
ment The fact of her fathers influential
position should not shield her from the
consequences. The laws are to be ad-
ministered against all alike.

The silver jubilee of the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union of America brings out
the fact that in many portions of the
country the accessions to the society have
been very small Of late, and in some
places there has been a positive decline in
numbers. The reason offered, by the
officers is that the German priests rather
discourage the Society, though the in
fuence of the American and Irish priests
is in the other direction. In Detroit,
Boston, Buffalo and Dubuque there has
been falling off in membership, owing,
it is alleged, to lack of encouragement
from the clergy. The, President Of the
Ohio societies makes the extraordinary
statement that temperance proselyting
was discouraged, and, though the three
bishops in the State were enthusiastic in
the Temperance cause, their own clergy
in their own cathedrals opp osed it,
