for over thirty years. He had become fully
satisfied that it was only a question of a

no permanent relief. One day he picked

The disaster to the Maine, much
as it has affected all hearts, has not
much affected business, says Dun's
Rerie,r. Only in the stock market,
where there was selling Wednesday
by spectators on thin margins, but in
no other speculative market, was an
effect felt, nor in general business.
Nothing has occurred to check the in
crease in production or in working
force. The proposal of general
strike i'll cotton mills to support the
New Bedford strikers does not thus
far seem likely to meet much re-
Spouse. An advance of 10 per cent.
in wages by some Gogebic mines is
expected to be general throughout
the lake region, excepting the Mesabi
district, and prices of ore from the
other ranges this Year have been ad-
Yanced Is per cent, with an allot-
ment of s zoe, 900 tons outside Carne-
gle mines, which betokens an output

FRANCES f. WILLARD DEAD,
President of Worlds and National w.
c. T. U. Passes Away In New York.

President of Worlds and National w.
G. T. U. Passes Away In New York.
Miss Frances E. Willard, president Of
tan Temperance unions, died at the En-
pire hotel, New York city, last Thursday
night.
Miss Willard had been ill with the grip
about three weeks, though for some years
her health had not been good. At her
| bedside when she died were her niece,
Mrs. w. w. Baldwin, Mrs. l.. NJ. n. Ste
| vens, OF Maine, vice president OF he W.
c. T. T.; Miss Anna NJ. Gordon, Miss Will
lard's secretary, and DR.. Alfred X. Hill.
Miss Willard was born near Rochester,
n. Y, September %, 1899. In 1859 she
graduated from the Northwestern Female
college at Evanston, ILL.,, and for some
years thereafter was a successful teacher
in several western towns. In 1861 she
became director OF the Genesee Wesleyan
seminary at Lima, n. Y. In 1S71-4, she
was professor of esthetics in the Mort h.
western university, and dean of the fe-
male college connected with it.
In 1851 she travelled extensively in
Europe, Egypt aud Palestine, and on her
return delivered many lectures in Chi
cago and other parts OF the country. She
was the author OF 'Glimpses OF Fifty
Years." published in 1889, "a Great
Mo her, published in 1894, and several
other works.
Miss Wizards life work, however, was
in the cause of temperance. She became
interested in this great movement early,
and in 1879, when she was chosen presi-
dent Of the Woman's Christ ian Temper
ance union, she sprang into national
prominence. She had been the president
Of the w. {. T. U. since 1879,
In 1888 Miss Willard founded the
Worlds Christian Temperance union
and since 1855 has been its pres ident.
To-day the white ribboners are to be
found in every civilized country on earth,
and number thousands OF mem bers.
Miss Willard was loved and respected
the world over; her friends were legion
and her mourners viii 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 H.
the English language is spoken or writ
ten.
BY the terms of Miss Wilard's will, all
her estate will go to the Temple fund
after the life interests of her secretary,
law, Mrs Mary f. Willard, have expired.
The property consists OF REST cottage,
at Evanston, valued at $4,000; smaiI
cottage III the Adirondacks, and 5000 in
cash, which was presented to Miss VIII
lard on her tiftieth birthday. The Temple
trustees will probably waive their rights.
and leave the estate entirely to the direct

What time the calamity shriekers
are going to have revising their argu-
ments of 1896 and the subsequent
year. They insisted that farm pro-
duets could not advance without the
free coinage of silver, yet as has been
already shown. practically every arti-
Gle of farm production has increased
from 10 to 30 per cent. in value with
out the adoption of their pet theory.
They also insisted that the adoption
of a protective tariff would damage
our foreign markets, yet the sales
abroad of our products and manufac-
lures in the six months since the
Dingley law went into effect are in
round numbers S50,000,00o greater
than in the corresponding six months
of the preceding year under the Will
son tariff. The figures just published
by the treasury department show that
in the first five months operation of
the Dingley law the fourteen coun-
tries which protested against its en-
actment, with an implied threat that
if enacted they would discriminate
against our commerce, have bought
from us $40, 000, 900 more in value than
they bought in the corresponding five
months of the preceding year under
the Wilson law.
