MRS. B00TH-TUCKER'S
LAST VISIT HERE

Commissioner mcfarland knew Mrs
Tucker personally, and was greatly
shocked when informed of her sudden
death
Mrs. Booth-Tucker." said the Com
missioner this morning. like her moth
er, Mrs. Catherine Booth. wife of Gen.
William Booth. founder of the Salvation
Army. was one of the greatest women
of her time. Still comparatively young,
Mrs. Boogh-Tucker had done a wonder
full work for humanity IN Great Britain,
India, and the United States. and was
beloved and admired by multitudes OF
people.
OF Splendid Spirit
TT is safe to say no woman was do
ing more for the good of the people OF
the United States than she. Coming.
with her husband, after years of hard
and successful effort In India. to take
command of the Salvation Army in the
United States. after the secession OF its
former commanders. at the crisis Of its
history in this country. Mrs Booth
Tucker made new and powerful friends
for il everywhere, and with her hus-
band made it more prosperous and bene-
fetal than ever. Frail in body, again
and again at deaths door. she had a
splendid spirit, which enabled her to do
an enormous amount of work, and to
carry the great cares and responsible
ties OF her position, sustained by q deep
faith in God. and a belief that she was
doing His will
This gave power to her both as plat
form speaker. addressing great audi
ences, as she constantly did in all the
large cities Of the country, in the direc-
ton of headquarters work or in personal
conversation with her associates or
others. Her loss to the army will be
literally irrepara BILE. Those who were
her personal friends cannot express
their feelings at her tragic death.
Entertained at White House.
Her last visit to Washington was in
January of this year. when she accom-
panied her father, General Booth. and
was entertained with him and the rest
of his party as the guests of Senator
Hanna AT the Arlington. They were
also entertained at Nhe White House on
the occasion of that visit. Those who
were in the audience that packed the
Congregational Church TO hear General
Booth will remember the remarkable
prayer with which Mrs. Booth Tucker
closed that meeting"
