Death Of Miss Willard.

Miss Frances Willard died Oh
Thursday, February II, in New
York, With her passes away the
most striking personality among
the women Of today, and one OF
the really great citizens-the his
tory-makers-of this country.
The Memphis Scimitar, in long
editorial notice of her life and
work, contains the following just
tribute to her remarkable powers
of mind and will:
Miss Willard was a woman Of
boundless energy and capacity for
pursuing an ideal. Gifted with
mental endowments of an unusual
order and possessing in marked
degree the subtle power called per
sonal magnetism, with an execu-
tive faculty second to that OF
none, it was not strange that in
the twenty-five years during which
she worked for temperance through
the medium of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, this
organization should have grown
from a mere handful of earnest
women, utterly without power
or influence, into the gigantic
society which it is today.

transient visitors, but in the scar
city Of property for rent, There
is not an unoccupied dwelling in
the whole city, and even very
modest houses, if situated in the
more desirable localities, command
an exorbitant rent 1t is impos-
sible to suppose that a hotel, built
on modern principles and kept
strictly up to the requirements
demanded in other places of simil-
ar size, would fail to pay a hand
some dividend to investors. The
work of ascertaining the senti-
ments of our local capitalists and
those of other places on this sub
iect, and the Inauguration OF n
movement looking to the erection
of such hotel building as is clearly
demanded by public need is espe-
cially recommended to the Board
of Trade, rs II matter worthy OF
their immediate and careful atten-
ton.

An Interesting Occasion.

The Mississippi Woman Suf-
frage Association will meet IN
Greenville in II short time. Tho
date is not yet definitely fixed, but
the meeting will probably take
place early in March, The con
templatod meeting promising to
be an occasion of general n
terest, as it will be attended by
leading members of theassociation
from all over the state, us well as
others of national reputation, n
Guiding Mrs. Gait, who will be re-
membered as one of the ablest ald
most interesting speakers who oy-
er addressed a Greenville audien ,e,
and who will succeed Miss AN
thony as the acknowledged leader
of the movement. The oppor-
tunlty to hear this lady again will
be welcomed with pleasure by all
who listened to her on the former
occasion; and her visit to Green
vile is worthy of more than cas-
ual notice, as her acknowledged
abilities have given her high
place among leaders of public
thought and action.
Special preparations for the
reception and appropriate enter
tainment of the distinguished visi-
tors are now being made, and a
notable feature OF the occasion will
be an elegant entertainment
which will be given in honor of
Mrs. Gait by Mrs. Nathan Wilzin.
1t is hoped and believed that The
visit will prove to be equally
pleasant and profitable to Green
yille's guests and her citizens.
While the object for which the
w. 5. A., is striving has many
obstacles and prejudices to over
come, especially in the south,
those citizens Of Greenville who |
may view its efforts without sym
pathy or even with disfayor are
too broad-minded and cultivated
to fail to accord Il courteous vel
come to the distinguished ladies
who are about to honor the city
with their presence.

A LONG FELT WANT.

An inquiry among the hotels,
private boarding houses, and all
places of public entertd -tnent in
Greenville ELECTS the fact that
their accommodations are entirely
inadequate to the volume of travel
demandingit. Greenville, in spite
of all obstacles and hindrances,
continues to grow steadily. Its
present population is estimated to
be at least 10000. OF course the
conditions of a village or country
town cannot apply in such a case
as this. Even when Greenville
was much smaller and the volume
of travel to and from it was much
less than at present, the necessity
for better and more extensive
hotel accommodations was notice
able-indeed, this lack has always
been a drawback to the town and
a reproach to it in the eyes Of the
travelling public. The condition
is just now worse than ever, and .
the time is fast ripening for some
action in the matter.
Greenville, it is true, is well sup
piled with houses for the accom-
mediation of the travelling public
lot only public hotels, but private
boarding houses being numerous;
1ut in every case the capacity is
90 limited for the patronage Of
cred. This deficiency becomes
laily more apparent, and the con
tant growth of the city is made !
manifest, not only by the made i
uacy Of IL swouwoatjo0s fO7t

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.

A very nmerously signed petit
ton has been presented to TIE
Council urging that action be
taken looking TO the assumption
by the city Of control of the elec-
trio light system, The readiness
with which the petition was signed
and the well known public sentl-
ment on the subject leaves little
doubt us to the result of an cleo
ton to determine the question. 1t
is probable that at the next meet
ing of the Council active steps
will be taken TO ascertain the wish
of the public, and that the inter
esting matter of city control Of
the system will be settled as soon
as possible. The universal salts
faction given by the water works
has its effect in encouraging the
belief that an electric light plant
managed in the same manner
would be equally successful.

At recent meeting the City
Council passed an ordinance re-
quiring the making of brick or
concrete sidewalks nine feet wide
on the West side of Walnut street
between Main and Washington
Avenue. The condition Of side
walks in the business district will
be, when this work is completed,
very creditabIe, and will leave no
ground for complaint in that part
of the city included between Pop
lar, Walnut, Washington and Main
SITS; but the general condition of side
walks in other portions of the city
remains as bad Us ever. THE
TINES has reiterated this complaint
until it has become monotonous,
The condition of the streets is q
to the city and wonder
to strangers. Our sidewalks arr

THE MAINE DISASTER.

The temperatures and calm
with which the news of the awfa
calamity to the battleship Maine
was received in this country
speaks very highly for our ma
tional characteristics. From Capt.
Sigsbee and Consul Lee down to
the simplest citizen the instant
resolution was to wait-to suspend
Judgment until something definite
could be learned Excitement
there was, and is, of course; but
no outbreak of hysterical national
passion such as is now disgracing
France. 1t is too soon yet to ex-
press an opinion, but the belief
that the dlabolical work was done
by torpedo, a submerged mine,
or dynamite treacherously intro
duced into the coal bunkers of the
ship is gaining ground. That the
crime was perpetrated with
the knowledge or connivance
of the Spanish Government is too
monstrous for belief.
1t may have been the work of
irresponsible parties inspired by
the hatred of this country which
is known to exist among the
Spanish masses. 1t may have
been done by Cubans in the hope
of precipitating war between
tins country and Spain. What
ever may have been the cause, if
the result is war it will be deplor-
able and probably far more SER
ious than is apprehended by
many. Americans are accustomed
to regard Spain as contemplate |
foe, but no greater mistake could |
be made. 1t is true that she is
poor to beggary, and torn with
political dissenSion and strife,
while we are one of the wealthiest
and greatest nations of the earth;
but our war-like weakness is al
most as great as our extent of ter
ritory and commercial strength.
On the sea, where the war must be
wagd, Spain is far more power
full than we.
