EU OF HUMANITY, ' : Yoelerday morning the Woman's Christian Tcmperanco Union of - this cltr attended in a body, at JCane Street M. E. church, Cor the purposo of licar ' lug. a special sermon on the lute Fran cea E. Wlllard, delivered by the pastor, tor, Rev. 13. B. Evana. Thero was a largo congregation present, and deep interest was manifested In tho dis course /or few there are to whom the dead woman was uuknown. "The Life of a Good Woman," was the themo of Mr. Evans* discourse, and as he has al ways been interested In her work, .ho ' was especially able to Bpcak of her, her deeds and her Iniluence. . . Hev. Mr. Evans took as his text, Mark, 14, 18: "She hath done what she could. " In substance, hW remarks were as follows: No one has ever been able to estimate^ ' the value of a good life in the Influence upon the world, or even o kind net ?hown to Christ and His cause. This good woman referred to In our text this morning, 1.800 years ago anointed the head of Christ our Savior, and the aroma of that ointment Is still breathed by the nations of the earth, and the Master said, "Wherever the Gospel shall be prcached throughout the whole world;.this also that she hath done shall bo spoken of for a memorial ofJher." At midnight on the 18th of tills month, one was admitted to the kingdom of the skies, the aroma of whose life shall never die?Frances Elizabeth Wlllurd. IN THE HOME. We desire to speak of this noble wo man this morning as seen: First, In the ?home; second, In public; third, as a Christian. Born in Churchvllle, N. Y., September 28, 1S29? when three years of age she went with her parents to live In Ohio, where she spent the early years of her childhood. When she was about twelve years of age her family 'moved to Wisconsin. Here she enjoyed the beauties of nature and healthful farm life. Her parents were unusually cultured and refined, and although the education of Frances was almost en tirely conductcd at home until eighteen years of age, she possessed greater ad - vantages than many American youths. While she was possibly the .most exten sively. travelled woman In American, she never forgot the dear ones in the homeland no distance was too great or engagement so strong us to present her coming to their assistance when she was needed. Miss Wlllard was the last ' member of ,the family to be called to iher heavenly home. What'a blessed re union they enjoy this piornlng! Father, mother, sisters and brothers. All died In the triumphs of a living faith, there fore are safe at vest. HER PUBLIC LIFE. - She graduated at. Northwestern Fe- j male College, Ev'anston, 111., in 1S39. I and three years later was the professor of natural science in her Alma Mater., She was principal o? Genesee Wesleyan Seminary when .she was only twenty Ecven years old, and thirty-two when she became dean at Evar.ston. The passion for reform, however, dominated her, and in 1874 she abandoned all pros pects of success as an cducator, and be came corresponding secretary of.the Woman's Christian Temperanco Union. Rigid economies were necessary, and "nlckles' were savetl for emergencies. 1 In great Chicago she lived her great life, initiating movements for the con servation of victories gained In the cru sade, by travelling, lecturing, organiz ing the Home Protective League and petitioning the legislature of Illinois, J where she presented a petition, with t 175,000 signatures, and though it was thrown under the table, she was un- j daunted in her efforts for the cause. In 1879 she succeeded her brother, Oli ver. A. iWlllard, as editor of the Chicago Evening Post, and began an editorial career that had its-climax lj?*the edi torship of one of America's most bril liant weeklies, The Union Signal. - Loval to her sex. she bore the Wo man's Christian Temperancc Union in to affiliation with,the men, who wore the White Rose, as she wore the White P.lbbon, dividing the Union, but secur ing consistnecy. In 1SS6 she dedicated' herself to the White Cross movement, securing legislative action In twelve states for the protection of women, and two years later became president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Year by year she was elected almost unanimously to the presidency of one of the greatest organizations that the world has ever known, and has dictat ed its policy and widened the range of * its Ideals utll the Woman's Christian Temperance Union has become the syn onym of universal social reform, v As presiding officer she developed most rare powers of persuasion and command. She was superbly self con trolled and superbly-endowed with powers1 to control. In JSS7 the Reek River conference of the M. E. church, of which her.brother was once a mem ber, elected her us a lay delegate to the General Conference, an honor worthily ? bestowed, and of which .she was very proud. She made all her arrangements to. attend the conference, and take her place as a delegate on Monday. On Sunday she was called to the home of her mother, tfho was then very sick, where she remained during the great i . contest which followed In the Genernl : Conference. Though defeated, she took her defeat with the same Christian grace that had characterized her for mer. life. Miss Wizard's books, "How to Win, ''Nineteen Beautiful Years," and ; "Glimpses of Fifty Years." have been read with profit, over 100,000 of the lat ter having been sold. The leading mag , azlaes'of several countries have spark led with her lances of great truth. As author and orator Miss Wlllard had \ consummate graces of charity and - forco. Her diction'was clnsslcal and beautiful, her thought luminous as the sun. and her style brilliant. With di rectness generated in conscience, she appealed to conscience,' and knew no m other office as author and orator than ? that of arresting thought for righteous V.( >' ^aito and inaugurating the klng (Vitu'a advent." AS A CHRISTIAN. V Reared in a Christian home, taught to say her prayer3 as soon . as she . 'Could talk, always.a subject of prayers . ?still at an early age we find her ask ing many questions as'to the reasona blcness of Christianity. In her nineteen years at lCvanston she was quite 111 with typhoid fever, and the doctor said V-. the.crisis would soon arrive. She over ? ? 7 lieard his words, and said, "My..soul was intent, as two'voices seemed to speak within me. One sold, 'My child, tflvc mo thy heart;' >tha other said, Mm:. 'Suwly you will not break down now of physical weakncM. rou arc a rsssonsr, and when you get well you will feci 1 as you \MKd to feel.1 One'* presence wa? to me warm, sunny, ?fc, with an Im I presslon . nf snowy wings; , the pother, cold, diurnal dark. The contest did not , neern brief: At last I said with my I heart, 'If Ood let? me get .well Til try to be a Christian glrl.V But this did not bring peace. 'You must confess | this resolution,' said the voice. Frank as I had always been with mother? this requiring an humbling of my pride. Af tor nome pruyer I called her from the i next room and paid, 'Mother,' T wish to tell i'ou If Ood lets me live I'lUry to,bo ; m Christian girl.' t '8he took my hand, knelt beside my bed and softly wept and prayed. ,1 I turned my face to the wall and sweetly I slept. That winter we had a , revival In tho old Methodist church In Evans i ton. Dr., now Bishop, Foster, preached. ?I went forward for fourteen, night*, ' having my own Idea of nalvatlon. Fi nally, the thought came to me, This Is not the way my conversion was renl I lzod that summer morning when I said 1 yes to God. ,1 grew more and more In love with God'if house nnd his people. In 1S08 Mrs. Bishop Hamlin came to our village and placed,In my hand the 'Life of Hester Anne Rogers,Mrs. Fletcher and others.' 'Later Mrs. Palmer came lo our place to hold fi special meeting. After speak-' I Ing one evening she asked thoso who desired to enter Into a higher Christian | life to come forward. Another crislB came to me. I asked my mother If she would come. She did not hesitate. Af ter surrendering all there came to mo such liberty.' 80 it continued through her very use ful life, and she said with her last breath, 'How beautiful It.Is to be with God.' Her body rests In Hose Hill cemetery, Evanston, 111. Do you desire to look upon her monument In stone and brick? Look upon the Woman's Tem ple, now WIllard'H Temple, In Chicago. But her largest monument Is found In the homes made happy and hearts made pure through , her beautiful life and Influence. God bless her cause and raise up a leader to take her place. All will say, "She has done what she could." TO TOTJNG MI5N. Prof. J. C. Keith, of Bethany Coiled", Made a Scholarly Address. At the men's meeting at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday afternoon, the speaker was Prof. J. C. Keith, of the chair of Biblical literature, Bethany college. Every, seat was taken and the address by Prof. Keith was a, treat, and general regret was expressed at Its brevity, for all could have enjoyed hearing him much longer. Prof. Keith's-remarks were taken from the Savior's sermon on the. Mount. He graphically described the ecene of the I Savior sitting on a rock, with his apos I ties about him, while around Mm were j the "birds, the grass and t'he other things He had created. His sermon contained 1 all the lawe which were afterwards j made in accordance with His teachings. : The Jews thought that He had come to I destroy the law; He rather came that he might All up/ all that was needed in I the great plan of human redemption. This cry that He came to destroy has I been raised against Paul, Luther,-Cal vin and all the great reformers. The Savior taught that lie came for the full flllment, and the amplification of the Old Testament. When Christ said "Ye are the salt of the earth," he used a flgure of speech drawn from the things about him. Salt hae* a saving power, it is a preservative; and Christ meant that His apostles were to. be the saviors of mankind, and to go out in the world saving eoula. * Profes sor Keith wanted the members of the Y. M. C. A. to be the salt of the earth. In speaking of the powers of ealt, 1?e re ferred to the/discovery ,of an old dead Indian womajJ, in a Kentucky cave.who although many years deceased, looked as natural as life; owing to the saltpetre in the cave. In advising his hearers to be saviors, he urged ihern to 6peak a word forj Christ to their companions, and always to speak It kindly. As salt has a pre serving influence, so should the Y. M. C. A. possesses lr. One often feels exjlted by coming in contact with the right kind of society. Christ said in bis sermon, "Ye are the light of the world." meaning that His people were to be the llght-bsarers; not to originate the Ugh:, or to get up schemes for improvement of the human family, but to spread the gospel, the spiritual light. Like themooft that has no original light, but catches up the beams from the eur. and sheds it on the world, it is the duty of Christians to drink in the light reflected from Christ, and dis tribute it among their fellow men. This glorious light given from God sheds beauty in the hearts of fellow men. \ Prof. Keith's concluding words were very eloquent and earnest, and his brief' What is Scott's Emul sion ?

From Series of Meetings-Dr. Williams' Work. Last night a succCMful reVlvil at,tho I Third Presbyterian church was closed. The church was crowded from tl< b?s glnnlng, chairs having been -placed In the aisles. There were llfty-elght con Versions, ??venty-flve came Into the en quiry room, and 100 publicly osked for ptaytsrs.

Williams, 1). U. . One of the best results shown has ! been the spiritual revival among the I members. Dr. Williams Is a splendid evangelist, and 2001 persons In the .past year were . converted owing to , Ml preaching. He Is also one of the lead ing educators of Ohio, nnd Is president of Franklin college, at New Alliens, 0? an Institution which has sent out some famous mem A BIG UNDKHTAKINO. The vestrymen of 9t. Matthew's P. E. church, and tho Brotherhood of St. An drew, meet this evening to further con sider tho plan of wiping out tho church debt of 111,000 by the Easier Sunday ? collection. This scheme was exclusively noted In the Intelligencer lost week, and Its succcss will certain' ly rcllcct credit on the originators.

The Hlaglo exchange closcd the first of last week on account of a lack, of business. About that time trouble began at the other exchange, which was known as that of T. O. M. Davis & Co. Several of the larger speculators got In wrong on wheat, su gar und other stocks, but they dropped some of them and kept putting on oth ers to save' port of their money. On Monday or Tuesday the flurry brought stocks down so that there was considerable money coming to tho Bel lalre parties, and they closed their deals. Tho money due them was not forth coming, and the excuse made was that tho cash would have to come from Cin cinnati. In this way the matter was l kept very quiet until Friday afternoon word came from Odell & Co., at Cin cinnati. that the deals were not closed at the time the Bellalro exchange show ed them to be, nor until two .days later, when tho market had changed and there was less than half as much money due as the Bella he board showed. This caused ft rumpus, but it was quieted until evening, when those who had money due them began to feel very un easy, und when it was learned there was 51,300 in the Dollar bank, attachr ments were sworn out on that sum by Charles Rosser. Ho had four attach ments issued for $300 each, with about $25 costs In each case. There is something like 56,000 claimed by Bellalre-parties, and nothing more In eight than the 51.200 noted. To add to tho confusion, Davis was in Bellalre Friday evening, aud when some of those who lmd won part of their money back, but could not get it, visited the exchange to get a copy of the board showing their deals, they found the pa pers had been removed, and Davis was the man fixed upon a'a having done the job. This was kept quiet, as Davis was at the hotel, but late that night and Just before he took the midnight train west, Mr. Davis was making the afr blue and was going to send somebody to the penitentiary if he could And out who broke Into his trunk In his room and stole all the papers he had pertaining to the Bellalre business. But 1ft didn't wait to And out who got the papers; he left on the train, and the Bellalre boys are still endeavoring to find something they can get at to recover the money coining to them. * _ ! Saturday afternoon the case of Rob-J ert Lawrence against the T. O. M. Da .vis & Co. exchange to recover $330 he I had put up and claimed, he did not get I a square deal on, resulted In a judgment | in his favor for the full amount and i costs. This suit had been postponed from Tuesday at the request of the ex change people, and was to have been tried on its merits Saturday, but no exchange man appeared to make a de fense. The people of Beilalre are heartily glad the shops are closed out, and any new effort to start will meet with vigor ous opposition from the beginning. It is difficult to get at. the facts in the mat ter, but It Is definitely known that from $SG,000 to J50.000 has been lost through tho presence In Bellalre of the bucket shops, and the loss of credit by go?$l people who played the game makes quite an additional loss, though this will be recovered shortly.
