MISS WIZARDS FUNERAL
Interment VIII Take Place in Rose
hill Cemetery Chicago

| Chicago. Feb. 1S.-Formal services over
| the remain Of Miss Frances f. Willard,
president of the Worlds Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union. will be held in
| New York Sunday. The body will then
be sent TO Chicago.
Miss Katherine L. Stevenson, CORE
spending secretary of the w. c. T. L., said
today it was the present intention to have
a committee of Miss Wizards friends and
co-workers in Chicago meet the body be-
tween here and New York City and act
as an escort during the journey west The
, body will then be taken TO Miss Wizards
home in Evanston, where on Thursday
the funeral will be held. probably from
the First Methodist church, where Miss
Willard attended for years. 1t is possible
that this part of the program may be
changed, as the church is comparatively
a small one and would probably be totally
inadequate to hold the crowds who would
wish to attend the funeral of the dead tenn
perance leader, and for this reason it may
be, that the services will be held from
Chicago. The interment viii take place
at RosehiH cemetery. where Miss Will
Iard's mother is buried.

A year after the assassination Of Lin
coin there appeared in Blackwood's Ed
inburgh Magazine critical review Of
the careers Of Presidents Andrew Jack
son and Abraham Lincoln. Both were
classed as saviors of the American
Union. Passing from the discussion of
free trade, protection and qualification
as the causes Of strife betwixt the Sec
tions, the review enters upon the crisis
which confronted Lincoln in 1851:
''It fell to the lot of a man very differ
emit from Andrew Jackson to wage the
second battle for the preservation Of the
Union, on plea more exasperating
than free trade, on an issue more stu
pendous and on a scale Of grandeur
which no war between the states in
Jackson's comparatively early time
could possible have equaled. From 1888
to 1850 southern statesmen had been
contemplating, if they had not been
planning, the disruption Of the Union
Northern statesmen were aware Of the
fact Some of them were reconciled to
it, and others were resolved to aid in it's
contamination, not few of them for
the sake OF the north itself, which they
imagined would be better without south
ern companionship. Time but increased
the bitterness and widened the estrange-
lnent of one section against the other.
When secession at last was accom-
plished, the south was prepared at
most points, the north at none, and q
man was at the head Of affairs who on
a hasty or superficial Judgment might
have been pronounced singularly in
efficient and unsuited for the task of CO.
ercion which cruel fate had thrust upon
him. Like his great predecessor jackson,
was lIrun or the people, wItnouI
culture or manners. Unlike jackson,
however, he had the instincts if not the
of gentleman; was no row
dy, no drunkard, no profane swearer,
but plain, honest, quiet, quaint, good
man, with no strong will, but with q
very strong sense of duty. jackson cared |
little either for free trade or protection, |
but be cared very much for the Union. |
In like manner Abraham Lincoln cared |
little for the negro or his freedom, J
though he dislikcd slavery, but he cared |
greatly and with his whole heart and |
soul for che Union.
