Willard MEMORIAL Exercises.

Sunday evening had been set aside by
the churches throughout the city for
the holding of exercises in honor of the
late Miss Francis Willard and the good
work she had done in the cause OF
temperance. The exercises were held
at the NJ. Z. church and were partici-
pated in by members of the various
denominations throughout the city.
The spacious church edifice was
crowded TO its utmost capacity and
many who had come to do honor to the
memory of that noble lady had to re-
turn TO their homes for lack Of even
standing room.
The exercises consisted of addresses
and eulogies of the character of the de
ceased, extracts from her writings AND
the rendering of her favorite songs by
the combined choirs Of the G. P. and
NJ. E. churches and the Loyal Temper
anee Legion.
A painting Of Miss Willard on an
easel appropriately draped and beside
1t an empty chair trimmed with myrtle
and draped with crepe and white rib.
bons were mute appeal to the tender
feelings of the congregation.
The exercises were opened by Rev.
g. N. Wall with an appropriate and
impressive prayer, followed by Mrs
w. H. II. SHIRLEY, president of the
local w. c.. 7. u, and she in turn
was followed by Mrs. Convey, Miss
Mamie Weems, DR.. Honoria Austin
Mrs. j. r. Brown, II. j. McEachin
Mrs. Kistler and Mrs Frazer, each Of
whom reviewed some portion of Miss
Willard 8 labors for the upbuilding oil
mankind.
The exercises were closed with short
eulogy by Rev. J. B. Stevenson. por-
traying in beautiful language the noble
work done by the lady in honor of
whose memory the congregation had
assembled.

His Name is Norton.

The insane man who was incarcerated
in our Jail some weeks since was re-
leased by Tailor Yoes Monday. The
county court having failed at the recent
session to make any disposition of his
case because he was not resident of
the county, of course Mr.. Yoes had no
authority to longer keep him at the
county, expense. 1t was hoped that
he would make his way home about
which he spoke as being near Cherokee
in the Territory. He did start In that
direction but must have changed his
mind before getting far for Tuesday
morning it was reported he had been
seen near Hays ferry and later in the
day made his appearance in Riverside
in an almost nude condition, frighten-
ing the women and children by his
queer action. He was again taken in
charge by the officers and on an order
from Justice Michael incarcerated un til
county court meets. Whatever the
law may be on the subject the taxpayers
have IA right to demand protection from
such people, for there is no telling
when their mania may take a homicidal
turn. If the officers cannot find ont
where his home is something should be
done to keep him under restraint.
Since the above was in type parties
from the Cherokee Nation identified the
man as G.. w. Norton, living near Sal
lisaw They said that his wife had
been searching for him ever since his
disappearance from home

HAD the president known of the ex-
istence Of the number of local papers
who have constituted themselves judge
and jury in the Maine incident. he no
doubt would have dispensed with the
court Of inquiry, composed of men who
understand such matters and know
the gravity of the situation, and de-
clared war the next morning after the
calamity. Would II not be well for
these papers to await the finding of this
court and the action taken on its report
before rushing to the front with their
fabersY The government evidently has
some plan formulated, and judging by
the preparations being made intends to
enforce it, but very wisely is not at
present heralding it abroad. We hope
IL the emergency arises to See the presi
dent displaying the true American
spirit. but have no hope of his secretary
of the treasury displaying any of it.
He cannot see honor except through
gold glasses. His recent remark
that the death of 300 seamen, even
though the Spanish nation was respon-
sible. would be no cause for war. stamps
him poltroqn.

the season is favorable and the prices
fair a goodly sum will roll into Craw-

they can sell them cheaper than at the

a fair profit for their labors.

John Murphy won temporary victory
The rising in the south closed with
the cspture of Rev. John Murphy,
Beaucbamp Bagenal Harvey, and many
others of the insurgents chiefs. Most
of them, including the TWO mentioned,
were summarily executed.
All this time the French, With whom
Wolfe Tone had formed an alliance on
behalf OF the insurgents, had been de-
laying their descent upon the Irish
coast. At last they ventured, during
the early autumn, to land at Killala, in
Sligo, under General Humbert, with
Tone himself ss commissary general.
For time the invasion prospered, and
large force of British was routed at
Ballins; but, Lord CORVALLIS surround
ing the French with greatly superior
force, Hum bert was obliged to surren-
der. The French officers captured were
treated as prisoners of war, but Tone
and the other Irish in the army were
sentenced to death. Thus ended the
Irish rebellion of 179S.- John Redmond
