A Plan That Frances Willard Is Pushing In
< hlcago.
Chicago, Nov. 12. — Francis E. Wil-
lard is a convert to the social settle-
ment idea and is now perfecting plans
to make it a feature in the reform
work of the Woman's Christian Tem-
perance union. This step has already
been taken in England under the
leadership of Lady Henry Somerset,
and before this week ends Miss Wil-
lard expects to be able to announce
where in Chicago the first W. C. T. U.
social settlement of America will be
planted.
Miss Willard and Lady Henry Somer-
set studied the social settlements of
America and made a further study of
them in England, including a thorough
examination of the parent of them all,
Toy 11 bee Hnll, in London. Miss Wil-
lard says that they became convinced
that the engrafting of the social settle-
ment upon the W. C. T. U. system
would result in untold good, and so
the first step in the new departure will
shortly be taken here.

Milwaukkk, Nov. 12.—Herr Johann
Most, of New York, and Mrs. Lucy
Parsons, of Chicago, widow of one of
the hanged anarchists, delivered liery
addresses Sunday afternoon at a dein
onstration arranged by local anarch
ists to commemorate the hanging of
the Chicago anarchists eipht years ago.
Most was very bitter in his remarks
about the police, and said that if he
had not been in prison at the time ho
would have been in Chicago, and would
also have been hanged.
Mrs. Parsons paid particular atten
lion to the church, and said that all
ministers were hypocrites, and were in
the pathway of the worltingman's
progress. She said that but for the
hanging of the anarchits a ad the com
motion it has caused among the work
ingmen Debs and his associates, who
tied up the railroads, would have been
hanged last summer, but capitalists
now do not dare to repeat the crime
they committed eight years ago.

Notable Men and Women Take Part In Cel-

Chnmplon of Woman Suffrage.
New York, Nov. 12.—The celebra-
tion of the 80th birthday of the vet-
eran champion of woman suffrage,
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, was held
to-day in Carnegie Music hall. Notable
men and women from all parts of the
country took part. There was elo-
quence and music, and flowers and
flags, and trophies of her life. It was
the crowning incident to her busy ca-
reer. The programme included ad-
dresses by prominent women who are
veterans in reform, among them Susan
B. Anthony and Clara Barton.
It was in 184S that the first formal
claim for suffrage w is made at a meet-
ing held in Mrs. Stanton's house at

succeeded so far as to gain an intima-
tion from Ambassador Eustis that the
French government may order Waller's
release from prison out of friendship
for the American government and on
account of Waller's serious, possibly
fatal, illuess. The state department
has not asked for t he ex-consul's re-
lease, but has intimated to the French
government that any leniency shown
him would be appreciated by the
president. While Waller's case has
not been finally acted upon here, it is
known that from the evidence already
in hand Secretary Olney is unable to
find any basis for a request for his re-
lease as a right."

Seneca Falls, N. Y., ami since that
time, until recently, she has been
perpetually active in the promotion
of the cause as a speaker, can-
vasser, worker and organizer. Mrs.
Stanton is now a permanent resi-
dent of New York. She retains her
appearance, which became familiar
to the public long ago. Her spirits
arc always remarkably lively, and her
mind is in the best working order,
though she is a sufferer from rheuma-
tism. She has a charming little home
in an apartment house where she en-
joys the companionship of her sons
and daughters. As the pioneer of the
new idea of woman's rights, Mrs. Stan-
ton was ahead of her life-long friend,
Miss Susan B. Anthony, though she
cannot, in these days, join Miss An-
thony in her campaigns.

working day and night. Last night
orders were sent here making a requi-
sition for more workmen, who will bo
taken from the other collieries. A

Heilerbrand, a miner, who was em-
ployed at the La Junta mine, was
killed in the first snows!ike of the sea-
son. He and a partner went to the
Jim Crow mine, on llallard mountain,
to recover some tools that had been
taken from them. On their way it was
necessary to cross a dangerous placa
on llallard, that has a record for fatal-
ities in the slide season, but they could
not retreat, as possession of the tools
was urgent at the stage of their de-
velopments. Meileibrand was only 50
feet in the lead of John Pulver, when
the slide started. The latter was |
within 4 feet of the edge of the slide, I
and saved himself by the most prodi-
gious exertion. Heilerbrand, however, |

in the valley. After a search of sev-
eral hours the body was recovered, and
the family of the deceased, in Ilock j
