Miss Frances E. Willard, president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, died at New York early Friday morning. Miss Willard had been sick for the past three weeks with the grip.
 Frances E. Willard was born in Church. vile, N. Y., in 1889. She was gradual ed at Northwestern Female college, Evanston, H., in 1859, became professor of natural science there in 1869 and was principal of Genesee Wesleyan seminary in 1s66-7. The following two years she spent in foreign travel. In 1871 she was professor of aesthetics in Northwestern university and dean of the Woman's college. She left her profession in 1874 to identify herself with the W. c. T. U. She succeeded her brother, O. A. Willard in 1879, as editor of the Chicago Evening Post. In 1888 she was made president of the American branch of the international council of women and of the Worlds VIC. T. U., which she had founded five years before.
 The funeral of Miss Willard took place Sunday at New York in the Broadway tabernacle. The service was held in New York by the official decree of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union be- cause of Miss Willard's many friends and admirers in the East A service will be held at Evanston, Ill.,, Thursday. Before final burial however, the body will lie in state in Willard hall at the Woman's Christian Temperance Union temple at Chicago and Churchville, N. Y, Miss Willard's birthplace.
 The church was crowded, among the at- tendants being many women from neighboring states, representing the state unions. A great many floral tributes had palms were used as decorations in the church. Miss Willard's request that hel funeral service be simple was carried out Portions of the scripture were read and hymns were sung and then the Methodist Episcopal funeral service was read. Rev. E. s. Tipple, pastor of St. James Metho. dist Episcopal church, was the principal clergyman. He was assisted by Bishop John P. Newman and others.
 By the terms of the will of Miss Fran ces E. Willard, her estate will pass into the Temple fund, after the life interests of hHr secretary, Miss Anna Gordor, anc of her sister-in- law Mrs. Mary B. Willard have expired. The property consists O Rest cottage" at Evanston, valued a
 SIG, 900; small cottage in the Adiron dacks and $3OOO in cash which was pre-
 sented to Miss Willard on her fiftietl
 birthday.
 By the original will the estate was t
 pass to the Women's Christian Temper ance Union, but codicil dated after tn Buffalo convention diverts it to tn Temple fund. The Temple trustees wi probably waive their rights and leave tn
 estate entirely to the direct beneficiaries

THE CONNECTICUT MUTUAL
 LIFE

We print elsewhere the annual report of Colonel Greene, president of the Con- necticut Mutual Life Insurance Company and the company's statement of it's splen- did strength and usefulness.
 During the year it has grown in all di- rections-in assets, in amount of insur- ance, in numbers of insured, and in sur plus. Its strength is absolute. With it's funds invested in the choicest of securities it has clean surplus exceeding seven and a quarter million dollars. It is insuring over 66,70 persons for a total of more than $157 700, ,OOO. The Connecticut Nut ual is the largest moneyed institution in | New England, and none is stronger. But the company is not in the wild race for costly new business and for sudden greatness that some of it's competitors are | now engaged in-and wish they were not. The Connecticut Mutual is not willing to sacrifice the interests of it's present mem- at their expense. It is already large and strong to the point of complete independ- ence and it considers it's own mem bers first. To these Colonel Greene says it gives the most protection at the lowest cost.'
 From the organization of the Connec- ticut Mutual to January 1, 1898,tt had re- ceived from its policyholders $196, ,S55,- 2l569. It had paid to them $18S,791, 557.40, and it still holds for their benefit $63. .5S9, 500 9S. In these figures is found suggestive evidence of the strength of the company and the wisdom of its conserva- tive management.
 | Colonel Greene gives good deal of space this year to the subjrct of the taxa l tion of mutual life insurance companies, and what he ays deserves the closest at tention. The policy of our own state as we'll as that of other states in this matter is already burdensome, and there are threats, at each session of the different Legislatures, of adding to the load. It k time people looked into the reasons, ano stopped to think what mutual life in SUI ance company is and what taxation O. it means. Such action by the state ii really the taxing of loss not of posses sion. Because the money is there in sight : some persons assume at once that it i. suitable subject for taxes. Let then read the clear statement in this report ant they will see how illogical is such an as sumption and how unfair and oppressiv, such tax. The real agitation to-da, should be for an entire removal of tn
 tax, which is an arbitrary and unius
 measure. There is no part of the repor
 more important than this. none sounder
 It is timely publication and a yer,
 proper one. The state treasuries every
 wh"le need guarding against raids iron
 outside all the more because the sue
 cess of such raids leads to injustice an
 tyranny in the exercise of the taxin
 power.
 The issue raised by this report shoul
 be kept before the p' op e, until they real
 ize the simple justice and common sens
 of it. The insured. whose interests Is al
 fleets. can secure this result.

Criminal Charge.

A So-csiIed Sanitary Concern Tried on q
Criminal Charge.
The members of two so called sanitary
companies were arrested and arraigned
in Judge Henderson's court this morning
on complaint of District Water Commits
sioner A. c. Stillwell, for dumping the
contents of the city vaults in the beds of
Boulder creek and the Beasley ditch.
The waters of these streams are used by
several hundred families in the districts
lying east of Boulder, and the filth which
these men are charged with dumping in
the water courses, endangers the health
of all,
w. H. Ryer, the head of one of the
concerns, Frank Farrar, Frank Bates
and Len Anderson were arraigned on
the charge of dumping in Boulder creek.
Ryer plead not guilty and his trial was
set for Thursday. The other three waiv-
ed examination and were bound over to
the district court. They we're engaged
in securing bond today.
Jake Howard and John Doyle were
members of second concern, under the
management of Perry Ables, for whom a
warrant was sworn out at the same time
that was charged with dumping wastes
in Beasley ditch. The first two men
waived examination and were bound ovel
to the October term.
Mr.. Stilwell was strongly incensed
over the action of the men. He states
that he has positive evidence against
all the men and asserts that all will be
prosecuted to the fullest extent of the
law.

A Practical Test.

Dom Pedro, the last emperor OF Bra
I'll, was man Of a practical turn OF
mind, as the following story told OF him
well illustrates, says Harper's Round
Table.
He once gave an audience to young
engineer who came to show him new
appliance for stopping railway engines.
,irhe emperor was pleased with the
idea, but wished to put It to practical
test.

At the appointed time all was In read
!iness. The emperor entered his car
,riage, the young inventor mounted his
engine and on they sped for several
|mdles as fast as they could go. There
came no signal, and the engineer be
tean to fear that the emperor had fallen
asleep. Suddenly the engineer came TO
a sharp curve around the edge OF the
iciiff, when, to his horror, on the track
directly ahead Of them the engineer
saw a huge bowlder. ~
he had Just sufficient presence OF
mind to turn the crank Of his brake and
pun the engine up within couple OF
yards Of the fatal block.
Here the emperor put his head ont OF
his car window and demanded to know
the cause Of the sudden stoppage. The
engineer pointed to the rock, and, much
to his surprise, Dom Pedro began to
laugh.
Push It to one side and go on" he
said, calmly.
The engineer obeyed and kicking the
stone was still further astonished to
see It crumble into dust before him.

block of starch which the emperor had

When Papa Was q Boy.

When Papa Was q Boy.
"When papa was little boy
You really couldn't find
In all the State of Washington
A child 50 quick Of mind.
His mother never called but once,
And Ia was always there;
He never made the baby cry,
Or pulled his sisters hair.
"He never slid down banisters,
Or made the slightest noise:
And never in his life was known.
To fight with other boys.
He always studied hard ut school,
And got his lessons right;
And chopping wood and milking cows
Were papa's chief delight.
"He always rose at six o'clock
And went to bed at eight,
And never lay abed till noon
And never sat up late.
He finished Latin, French and Greek
When he was ten years old.
And knew the Spanish alphabet
As soon as he was told.
"He never grumbled when ne had
To do the evening chores,
And ne'er in all his life forgot
To shut the stable doors.
He never, never thought Of play
Until his work was done,
He labored hard from break Of day
Until the set Of sun.
"He never scraped his muddy shoes.
Upon the parlor floor,
And never answered back his ma,
And never banged the door.
But truly, l could never see"
Said little Dick Malloy,
"How he could never do these things,
And really be boy"
