The W. G. L o. meeting Of the
24th of February, viii be over when
the Courier reaches its readers on ao-
count Of which we regret the change
in the day of publication; but as
"there is no gieat loss without some
GAIN, we can console ourselves with
the thought of economizing hnan-
cially. Four local papers coming into
the home at one time, or just at the
close of the week 10 a superfuity, so
we can make a selection and cut them
down to our choice. The character OF
the literature in home, indicates the
character of its inmates. Newspapers
are read by many who never read
books, so we can hardly estimate the
influence Of the local press. Frances
Willard, in her plea to the press
said 1--WE know many of the disad-
vantsges against which you contend,
bat Notwithstanding these, to tell the
story of today so as to make the world
more brotherly tomorrow, is the only
right way and would also prove ex-
pedient for all concerned.
February l7th-SeveD years from
the date of Frances Willard's death,
was the day appointed for the un.
yelling of the statue of Frances
Willard in Statusry Hall at the oapi-
tol. The following is the inscription
on the pedestal;
"Ah, it is women who have given
the costliest hostage to fortune. Out
into the battle of life they have sent
their best beloved, with fearful odds
against them. Oh, by the dangers
they have dared, by the hours of
patient watching over beds where
helpless children lay; by the incense
of ten thousand prayers waited from
their gentle lips to Heaven. l charge
you give them power to protect along
life's treacherous high ways, those
whom they have so loved. "
FRANCES E. WILLARD.
Illinois next week will present
the second of the statues which 1t is
entitled to place in Statuary Hall, at
the national capitol. 1t will be that
Of Frances Willard and will bo the
first statue Of woman to be placed
in or offered for this national gallery.
Tho life work OF Miss Willard, which
has moved Illinois to render this
honor, has endeared her memory to
the nation. 1t is fitting and beauti-
ful tribute, the moro so when con-
trasted with the remarkable selections
Of some other states. There may
have been some question as to the
propriety Of ignoring tho famous and
deserving Illinoisans eligible for a
niche in Statuary Hall, but there can
be none concerning the merits of Miss
willard, The action of Illinois is a
homage to American womanhood as
we'll as to the memory of Miss Will

Txphold Fever and Oysters.

In the discussion Of the oyster as
means of communicating the germs of
typhoid fever in Europe and in the
United States, many inaccurate state
ments have been put in circulation, so
that the Government has deemed it
necessary to have the matter inves-
tigated by an expert commission in or
der to avoid any possible damage to
the oyster industry. The report of this
body states that under normal condi-
lions the oyster is not unwholesome at
any time during the year and that its
peculiar microbian diseases, which are
exceedingly rare, are not transmissible
to man. Wild oysters, although not
always fit for food, are free from con-
tamination and do not endanger pab-
lie health, while those raised or fat
tened in beds are usually free from
suspicion. ID transmission Of ty-
phoid by oysters is possible, vet we'll
authenticated cases of such action are
in the beds where the oysters are kept
before transportation. the caring for
them during transportation, and finally
the shops Of the retail dealers. 1t is
believed that the connection between
typhoid fever and the eating Of oysters
is due largely to the fact that indulr-
ence in this form of shell-fish begins
at the time when there is a maximum
number Of typhoid eases, and. the mat
ter is one Of coincidence rather than
cause and effect Harper's Weekly.

ton, while last year 100000 was
spent; that in 1860 there were forty

fv It is curious study to note how
opinion vacillates as to the way in
which navy should be made up, says
the Louisville Courier Journal. A few
years ago we were entertained by
numerous opinions by naval experts
that the limit of size for battleships
had been reached, or even passed; that
the warships of the future would be
smaller rather than larger, and that
guns Of the highest calibre would be
mere sparingly used OF superseded by
those of less power Ii was claimed
that the larger vessels were top heavy
and unwieidy, and that their dimen-
sions and weight Of metal were pur-
chased at the price Of other qualities
more desirable. For the time these
views seemed to be SO widely accepted
that suspension Of the building Of
battleships Of the largest size was con
tidently expected. Such an explanation
has not been realized. On the contrary,
the leading nations are building more
battleships than ever. and are making
them larger

Sauatters' Rights Upheld.

A decision was rendered by the SUI
preme Court at Salem in favor of
Thomas McCarson, in the Supawna
meadow case, which has been before
the court for several years. McCarson
was arrested on complaint of William
Perrine, of Philadelphia, for trespass
on the meadow, located in Salem
County. He contended that he was
not on the Perrlne land, but on mea-
dows he had acquired by squatters'
right, having occupied it for twenty
years for cunning purposes and that
the Perrine deeds to the land were
not legal. McCarson was found guilty
in the loM,T court, but appealed and
the lower court was reversed. McCar-
son says he will now bring suit at
once for $4,000 damage for false -
rest and Imprisonment.
