ton WAS bitterly opposed to the mar
riage. According to the friends Of
the family Mrs. Wheaton openly ac-
cused her son Of secretly having mar
ried the widow. but the marriage vas
net contracted TIL after the death Of
Mrs. Wheaton. Those conducting the
investigation say the marriage will
play an imrortant part in the murder
trial.
A few days after the murder was
committed a farm hand who had been
employed by Mrs. Wheaton was arrest
ed in drainage car-p near Gronn-
brier, but was released after he had
proved an alibi, and this caused the
investigation to be continued finally
leading to the arrest of Lawrence
Wheaton.
He % years old and since the death
Of his brother, George, several years
ago, has become the only heir to the
large estate Mrs. Wheaton is said to
have owned. He has been living on
the farm with his wife since his mar
rage.

give the words Of Lady Henry Somerset:
"She was welcomed in this country as |
suppose no philanthropist has been well
coined in our time. The vast meeting
that was organized to greet her at Exeter
hall was the most representative that
has ever assembled in that historic build
! ing. On the platform sat members OF
! Parliament, dignitaries of the church,
! temperance leaders from the Roman
| Catholic church, leaders of the labor
movement and of the Salvation Army
and delegations from the Methodist Bap.
! fist and Congregational churches and the
| Society of Friends. The chief Jewish
rabbi sent congratL .otory letter and
signed the address of welcome.
Her busy life closed in New York City
Feb. IL, 1898. We say How brief hen
life. She should have lived twenty years
longer" but if we measure her life. not
by days and weeks and years, but by the
great work she accomplished, by the en-
terprises she inaugurated and carried ON
TO victory, she rounded out grand old
age, for she accomplished more in the
fifty-eight years of her life than many
of us would do were we to live one hum
bred and ffty-eight years.
A a child in the prairie home, as
student, as an educator, an organizer, Il
discoverer of the undeveloped forces in
womanly nature, as leader, and as an
ideal Christian woman of her day, she
might be brought before us as lasting
inspiration.
We women pay her highest tribute and
do her greatest honor when we learn to
love humanity as she loved it and learn
to live under the control of such motives
as dignified her life.

WAS Fatally INJURED.
Michael LINEN Was Probably Struck By
Train.

Cavendish, Feb. I7.-Michael Linnen of
Clare, N. Y, was found in an unconscious
condition just below the railroad station
Thursday morning by George Martin as
he was on his way to work. He notified
the authorities and the injured man was
removed to the hotel, where an exami-
nation disclosed two or three broken ribs,
severe injury to the back and internal
injuries. The man died in the afternoon
without regaining consciousness.
He was stranger in the town, but
letter written by a West Windsor
man was found in his clothes. This man
was notified and identified the dead man
and an attempt was made to reach rela-
tives in Canada.
1t seems probable that Linnen was on
his way to West Windsor and that he
got off the midnight train. He was APP
parently struck by passing freight
train. His suit case was found on the
station steps.

has the honor of standing by Miss vii
lard in entering this work; that one was
Mrs. Mary A. Livermore.
In March, 1874, wave of the crusade
struck Chicago and her heart warmed tC
the work. "To serve such cause would
be enthralling," she exclaimed. "If
only had more time. If | were more
freei" Within three months she was
free. for in June she resigned her position
as dean and professor and joined the
crusade movement.
So from teaching aesthetics in uni
versity she became an apostle of temper
ance' to the drunkards of Chicago. She
often went without her MONDAY lunch
because she had no money to pay for it,
and often walked weary miles because
she was unable to pay carfare. Such
was the sacrifice she made for the cause
she loved.
Upon the death of her brother, Oliver
A. Willard, in March, 1878, she became
editor of the Chicago Evening Post, and
also president of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union of Illinois, while in
1882 she became member of the exeeu-
tive committee of the Prohibition party.
She became president of the Chicago UNI
ion in ''the day of small things" The
work grew the national and then the
worlds Woman's Christian Temperance
Union were formed, Miss Willard becom-
ing, in turn, president of each. She was
the originator of the motto, "For God,
Home and Native Land" In the world
wide movement this became, "For God,
Home and Every Land"
Her executive ability was as marvel
GUS as her power over an audience was
mighty and all these years her pen was
busy writing along the many lines of the
work of the union.
She was also author of at least twelve
books, most popular of which, perhaps,
was Nineteen Beautiful Years." in which
the poet Whittier wrote the introduction.
The book was a tribute to her sister,
Mary Willard, who died at that age.
As an indication of how her character
and work were regarded in England, we
