Was Ninety-One Years of Age and Was Always Active in Every Noble Effort. Middletown, R. I., Oct. 18.—Julia Ward Howe is dead. Bowed under the weight of her 91 years, the noted philanthropist and author succumbed to an attack of pneumonia. The end came peacefully in her summer home here. Her three daughters were at the bedside, but her son was absent. The funeral will be held at the Church of the Disciples, Unitarian, in Boston, Thursday. Those who knew her intimately said that Mrs. Howe’s unfailing optimism was the greatest source and support of her manifold activities. Born in a cultured home in New York City and educated with care, she showed early @ remarkable avidity for study and superior literary tastes. She was put 22 years of age when she came to Boston, and met Dr. Sam- uel Gridley Howe, the, great philan- thropist, and two years later they were married. From that time until Dr. Howe’s death in 1876 this remark able couple showed a never-tiring co- partnership of activity in all things making for the uplift of mankind. After her husband’s death, Mrs, Howe continued her work for many a worthy cause. She had shared her husband’s labors for the Greeks in their struggle for independence; she had assisted him in his anti-slavery work and fired the nation with her “Battle Hymn of the Republic;” she had joined heartily in the crusade for woman suffrage; then in the last year of her life by participating in a pub- lic hearing at the State House and urging that action be taken to insure pure milk for infants. Although perhaps best known on her literary side as the author of the “Bat- tle Hymn of the Republic,” Mrs. Howe was the author of many other poems, of which she had published several volumes, and of many prose works, She was one of the most prolific con- tributors to the Woman’s Journal, the woman suffrage publication, of which she was a founder. Mrs. Howe leaves four children, Mrs. Florence Howe Hall, a prominent wo- man suffrage worker; Mrs. Laura B. Richards, an author; Mrs. Maude Howe Elliott, wife of John Elliott, the artist, and Henry Marion Howe, pro- fessor of metallurgy at Columbia Uni- versity. FRENCH R. R. STRIKE ENDS, Stringent Measures Taken by Briand Effective. Paris, Oct. 18—The strike commit tee of the railroaders union* formally called off the strike of the railroad employes which has extended over sev- eral of the most important systems in France. The collapse of the strike was primarily due to the stringent meas- ures taken by Premier Briand, who M. Briand. called to the colors the majority of the strikers, thus compelling them te do service as reservists. The premier also placed under arrest many of the strike leaders and used the military force without restraint for the proteo tion of life and property. After hav- ing broken the back of the strike M. Briand successfully arranged a& practical settlement, whereby the chief demands of the men were met. Chicage’s Big Revival Opens. “Chicago, Oct. 18.—What is planned to be the greatest religious campaign Chicago has ever seen was begun un- der the auspices of the laymens’ evan- gelistic council. The initial meeting took place in the casino of a South Side amusement park and was con ducted by Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman and Charles M. Alexander.
