Miss Willard was born near Rochester

Miss Willard was born near Rochester,
N. Y, September 2S. 1889. In 1889 she
graduated from the Northwestern Female
college at Evanston, ILL.,, and for some
years thereafter was successful teacher
in several western towns. In 1867 she
became director of the Genesee Wesleyan
Seminary ut Lima, New York. In 1914,
she was professor of aesthetics in the
Northwestern University and dean of the
female college connected with it. In 1869.
II she travelled extensively in Europe
Egypt and Palestine, and on her return
delivered many lectures in Chicago and
other parts of the country. She was the
author of 'sGlimpses of Fifty Years, >
published in 1889, "a Great Mother,
published in 1894 and several other works.
Miss Willard's S life work, however, was
in tho cause of temperance. She became
interested in this great movement very
early and in 1879 when she was chosen
president of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union she sprang into
national prom minence. She had been the
president of the W. G. T. o. since 1879.
In 1888 Miss Willard founded the World g
Christian Temperance Union and since
1858 has been it's president. Today the
White Ribboners are to be found in every
civilized country on earth and mbers
thousands of members. Miss Willard was
loved and respected the world over, her
friends were legion and her mourners
will be not among the wearers OF the
"White Ribbon" alone, but among every
class in almost every home wherever our
language is spoken. What Miss Willard
has accomplished will make her name a
synonym for all that is good, pure and
noble as long as the English is spoken or
written.
She has often visited this city as the
guest of Mrs. l.. M. N. Stevens who was
with her at the time of her death.

MORE LIGHT WANTED.

Washington, February 17.-The foreign
affairs committee Of the House held q
brief meeting this morning. The me m
hers informally discussed the latest
rumors regarding the Maine disaster, but
no action was either taken or suggested.
There was unabated interest at both
ends of the Capitol today in the Maine
disaster, but expressions generally took
the shape of inquiry for new light upon
the subject and demands for most rigid
investigation.
AS a rule the occurrence was viewed as
q mystery, and some expressed the
opinion that it would always remain
such. There were many theories advanced
but the authors of them generally con-
fessed that they amounted to nothing
more chan speculation.
The present disposition, especially
about the Senate appears TO ne TO allow
the matter to rest where it is until more
light can be secured than at present.
There Is general comment upon the Iace
that no reference was made in either
houss Of Congress yesterday to the occur
renee. and this circumstance is taken to
Indicate thas the present Congress could
be counted on to keep a cool head and
deal cautiously and wisely with a real
emergency if one should arise.

The consul general said: II know of

ing and show the Americans that the
Spaniards are in sympathy with them In
