Estimate .of Her Worth by Co- workers in the Cause. —— + FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS NEW YORK, February 18.—Miss Frances E. Willard, president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Unicn, died shortly after midnight this morning at the Hotel Empire, this city. At the bedside cf Miss Willard at the time of her death were her niece, Mrs. W. W. Baldwin; Mrs. I. M. M. Stevens, vice president of the Woman’s Christian Tei- perance Union; Miss Anna M. Gordon, Miss Willard’s secretary, and Dr. Alfred K. Hill. Frances Elizabeth Willard was born in Churchville, N. Y., September 28, 1839). She was graduated at Northwestern Female College, Evanston, Ill., in 1859, became rrofessor of natural science there in 182 and was principal of Genesee Wesleyan Seminary. in 1866-67. The following two years she spent in foreign travel, giving a Part of the time to study in Paris and con- tributing to periodicals. prefessor of aesthetics in Northwestern University and dean of the Woman's Col- lege, where she developed her system ef self-government, which had been adopted by other educators. Identified With W. C. T. U. Miss Willard left her profession in 1874 to identify herself with the Woman's Chris- tian Temperance Union, serving as co: responding secretary of the national or- garization till 1879, and since that date as president. As secretary she organized the hcme protection movement, and sent an appeal from !hearly 200,000 persons to the legislatut ft Illincis, asking for the tem- perance ballot for women.

CHICAGO, February 18.—Although the fatal termination of Miss Willard’s illness was not entirely unexpected in Evanston, it was, nevertheless, an intense shock to her friends when they heard of it. Before de- veloping those qualities of leadership which raised her to a position of great prominence as an advocate of temperance, Miss Wil- lard was well known to many now living in Evanston, whose friendship was on the same intimate footing when the great lead- er attained the height of her fame as when her gentle influence and budding genius first made itself felt in the little village. Rest Cottage, where Miss Willard made her home, was always kept ready for her return. The souvenirs of her work and the many articles of household furniture made dear by association were cherished with great care, and her room was kept in con- stant readiness for an unexpected return. A. W. Kimball, a personal friend to the lamented leader, lived in the cottage, and when told of the death, he said: “I am in- cxpressibly shocked. White ribboners all over the world will feel her loss. Miss Willard occupied a position which can never be filled. The good work will go on, but her absence as a leader will be deeply felt. The impetus which Miss Willard has given to the work of saving the tempie will carry it through. Her friends will acecpt the duty of continuing the work commenced by her as a bequest, and will feel that it would be a violation of her confidence to permit the work to flag. Worked for the Temple. “Miss Willard threw herself into the work of raising funds for the temple with her characteristic energy and self-sacrifice. £ fear it 1s what cost her her life. Her health was not strong enough to permit her under- taking so great a work, but she laid per- sonal considerations aside. Miss Willard had a great following, and if there were no other reason for prosecuting the last work she commenced than that she desired to see its end, it should be continued to a success- ful termination.” Mrs. Matilda B. Carce sobbed when the intelligence was conveyed to her. “Fran- ces is gone from us,” she said, her voice choking with sorrow. “It is as I expected, but even so, it is said to hear of it. Where will we get another like her? A nobler wo- man never was born, and a more unselfish worker never entered the lists in the cause of humanity. I have been associated with her for years, and I know the worth of her character and the noble sacrifices she has made for her fellow men and women. “We have all been hoping right along she would recover. We held a prayer meeting at Willard Hall yesterday afternoon and all hoped §h¢ would be spared to us.” Her Loss Irreparable. Dr. Saré*Hackett Stevenson said: “I can only voice the universal regret for Miss Willard’s loge.’ It is irreparable, and there is no one!wito! can take up the work she has laid doWii‘and do {t so well.” President, Hénry Wade Rogers of the Northwesjerq. University said: “Her death is an inestimable loss. I knew her and ad- mired her, ;;f ;feared after reading of her condition fhat she would not recover. The loss {s impdssile to replace. All who knew her, evenvtheugh they did not agree with her viewsq¢owld not help admiring and lov- ing her. yas trustee of the university for three yelrs and also dean of the Wo- man’s Colfegé. During that time I had an opportunity’ of becoming better acquainted with her Jeftiness of character than would have beent possible otherwise.” A bust of! Miss Willard is now receiving the finishing touches in the hands of Lorado Taft. It will be presented to Northwestern University by J. P. Schaffer. The Funeral Arrangements. Formal services over the remains of Miss Frances E. Willard, president of the World's Christian Temperance Union, will be heid in New York Sunday. The body will then be sent to Chicago. Miss Kather- ine L. Stevenson, co! secretary ofsthe W. C. T.

UL. lield a special meeting at the headquarters of the organization, 910 F street, this morn- ing for the purpose of taking suitable a! tion on the death of Miss Frances E. Wil- lard. A resolution was drafted, and at the conclusion of the meeting the general officers sent a telegram of condolence to Miss Anra Gordon, Miss Willard’s private secretary. It is the purpose of the District body to hold in the near future a memorial meeting, in which all the temperance or- gani ions of the District will be invited to participate. Miss Susan B. Anthony, president of the National American Woman Suffrage Asso- ciation, whose convention is being heid in the Columbia Theater, spoke feclingly to- day to a Star reporter on the death of Miss Willard. She said: I saw Miss Willard in New rk about two weeks ago. I thought she was hovering on the brink of the Great Beyond then. She tried to appear as bright and full of energy as ever, and did not ap- pear to realize her condition. She spoke to me of what she wished to do when she had recovered. “I knew her for a period of about twenty- five years, having met her shortly after her return from her trip abroad. She was a most remarkable, a most extraordinary woman in every respect. She led the greai- est army of women—about a quarter, of millicn—ever headed by a woman. 5 possessed all the attributes of a great gen- She superintended every branch of world. and eral. her work, which included the was a most masterly woman representative one in every r was a bunch of magnetism po: occult force, which afl leaders mus .

Rey. Anna Howard Shaw, vice president- at-large of the association, spoke in the same terms of Miss Willard, whom she had known, she said, for about twenty-five years. “I first saw hor, | think, in Chicago, where she was carrying on W. C. T. U. work. The first time I ever met her ani d a cnarce to study her to any extent aS im Boston in 1877, when she was co- operating with’ Moody and Sanky. This was the time, I believe, when Anna Gor- don became attracted to her. “Miss Willard possessed 1emarktble ver- satility of the mind. One of her charac- teristics was her on details. She thought along different lines well and com- prhensively. One of her strongest points was undoubtedly her personal magnetism. Inever associated with her, but what I felt I wished to help her in some way, be of some assistance to her. She had a most gympathetic voice, which although she was not strong physically, had a great depth and power. She was at once intellectual and 2motional, two qualities which are sel- dom combined in one. “Miss Willard was not only able to bring ‘women together, but to keep them in line, interest them continually. She was most spiritual in her nature. This was one of the most noticeable characteristics. She appeared to live in an atmosphere of spirit- uality. greater than her physical strength. She ‘was not able, on account of her small phys- ically strength to keep pace with her en- ergy, the irresistible force which seemed to be carrying her on like a rapid tide continu- lly. eer consider her loss one of the great losses of the world. She had a-kindly, af- fectionately lovable nature, which made friends everywhere.” a Mr. Singerly’s Creditors. A dispatch from Philadelphia yesterday says: Controller of the Currency Dawes, who came here yesterday to look into the affairs of the suspended Chestnut Street Na- tional Bank, has approved the amended plan for the reorganization and adjustment of the affairs of the bank, the Chestnut Street ‘Trust and Saving Fund Company, the Sin- spor roe and.

BURGLARS IN ANACOSTIA, ore Robbed of Rings, Eye- glasses and Watches. Burglars were in Anacostia last night and made James T. Unsworth believe that there had been a wholesale transaction the jewelry business. His store is at No. Monroe street, only a short distance from the bridge, and not far from the police sta- tion. Burglars cut the panel from the rear door of the building. The show cases were rified of part of their contents. The burg- lars carried off a number of articles of jewelry of small value. There were twelve cheap watches, a number of rings, several pairs of eyeglasses and other articles taken. Fifty dollars will cover the value of all the property taken. It was before midnight when the bure- lars visited the place, the robbery being discovered about 11:30 o'clock. The police were notified immediately after the discovery was made, and this morning Detective Helan went to Anacostia to make a complete investigation of the affair. Jewelry —_——.—- — Army Officers’ Examinations. Maj. Gen. Miles has tssued an order amending the regulations of the United States Cavalry aad Infantry School so as to provide as follows: “An officer failing to pass a satisfactory examination in any subject (by which shall be understood the attainment of seventy per cent of the maximum in the examina- tien. as well as seventy per cent of the maximum in the practical work of the pre- vious half year) shall be re-examined either in theory, in practice cr in both, at the d cretion of the staff of the school, at such equitable time as may be fixed by tt, and, if then declared deficient, he shall be spe- cially reported to the headquarters of the army, with a statement by the command- ant as to the cause of failure as deter- mined by the staff, and with a view to his being returned to his regiment: Provided That if the deficiency occurs at a semi- annual examination the officer may be con- tioned by the staff until the next annual examination, at which he shall be exam- ined on the whole year’s course of that de- partment in which the deficiency oc- evrred.”” See Examination at the Barracks.
