Statue at Washington. In the capital' at Washington In stat uary hall, each state in the union Is al lowed to fill two pedestals with the statues of two citizens who are consid ered the most Illustrious of their state. In 1889 Illinois honored itself in de ciding by unanimous vote of the state legislature, that the statue of Frances Wlllard should grace this distinguished hall: And there she. stands In white marble of marvelous beauty, speaking to this and to all future generations of the life of radiant womanhood pure and spotless. The following extract from her not able "home protection" speech was se lected by the sculptor and carved on the base of 'the statue. "Ah! it Is women who have given the costliest hostages to fortune. Out of the battle of life thev have sent their best beloved with fearful odds against them, with snares that men have legal ized! and set for thm on every hand. Beyond the arms that held ' them so long their boys have gone forever. Oh! by the danger they have dared; by the hours i of patient watching over beds where helpless children lay; by the in cense of 10.000 prayers wafted from their gentle lips to heaven, I charge you give them the power to protect, along life's treacherous highway, those whom they have ao loved." In the new statehouse of Albany, the capital city of New York. Miss Wlllard's native state, you will find her bust In bas relief on .the decorations of the mar ble staircase. Her picture Is being placed .in schools all over the land. Churches are; placing memorial windows in their houses of worship. And all this is well, for no more loyal patriot, or consecrated Christian, or greater edu rator has given a purer, stronger life of devotion for all humanity than has this promoted leader, philanthropist and re former. Yet we believe none of the memorial tributes, whatever may be their character, is more fitting - or would be found more closely in line with the 'great purposes of the rich and eventful life than this one of perpetual growth that grows vear by year a most potent factor in building up a purer, more Ideal civilization. The character and brilliant talents as well a the whole self-sacrific-lntf lift of this nation's benefactor, is loo well known to need any word from my ptn today. Miss Wlllard possessed the prophetic vision of the seer, and very often was criticised as being imprac tical and formulating plans too Utopian to be carried out. but we have lived to wee that the very plans so denounced have been In many, many cases the very oiks to bring about the quickest and best results. Blessings of Ad-rersity. Indeed she spoke truly when she said: "What a tame world thia would be If we had not perpetually the shock of adverse judgment nnd opinion. Storms root the oak, fire tempers steel, great epoch make history, and adversity borne well makes character." Francis Wlllard's Utopia of yesterday Is the truth of progress of today. She was the fore runner of a mighty electric Intellectual and moral movement that is reaching the great mass of thinking men and women and causing an arrest of thought that will eventually bring in the time when the brotherhood of humanity will will be a reality instead of a theoretic vision. May God heln u to catch the vision of Frances Wlllard and make It the reality of an active intelligent Christian life. i. Sweet, minted spirit, dost thou dream, On the Immortal shore. That by thy works, bright smiles by thousands beam. Where tears rolled before? Through gliding centuries of calm and storm. While nations rise and fall. America will crown, with flowers, thy form. In her Memorial Hall. It is most fitting that this great leader should stand side by side as she J, D 3 4 U -i-.i.v KEPT CARRIAGE SECRET Jl YEAR Thornton Glide, Millionaire, and an Oakland Belle .

Arnold B. Hill of Chicago, general agent of the Lehigh Valley railroad company, said this while in conference with William H. Aeuff, president, and George B. Dresner, secretary of the Pennsylvania club of Spokane, in the tatter's office at the chamber of com merce, where Mr. Acuff outlined the preliminary plans for the reception and entertainment of visiting Pennsylvan- tans during tne exposition season.
