NO. 39. W. C. T. V. Miss Willard Says Woman Suffrage i« the Hand-Maiden of Prohibition. The National Woman’s Christian Tem perance Union met at Nashville, Tenn., with representatives from almost every state and territory. For the first time Indian Territory has sent its representa¬ tive. Mrs. Lide Merriwether, President, of Tennessee, presided. Upon the plat¬ form were seated Mrs. Judge Thompson, of Hillsboro, Ohio, mother of the cru¬ sade in 1883; Pundita Ramabai, vice President of the World’s W. C. T. U. for India, and officers of the National Union. The ball was decorated with beau¬ tiful banners and flowers. Mrs. Hannah Whitehall Smith, lately returned from England, opened the convention with a Bible reading on Love. Before the crowning event of convention—Miss Willard’s annual address—the entire front of the platform was lined with representatives of the press. At the conclusion cf Mi.s Willard’s address, Mrs. Zerclda Wallace led in prayer, and then followed the introduction of dis¬ tinguished visitors of Nashville, and Dr. Tanner, of Alabama.

On the day of the Chi¬ cago hanging Heldt became a raving ma¬ niac, and Gerhart believes that he is pur¬ sued by a mob. Rev. H. C. Heisser cf the East New York, N. Y., German Evangelist church, has resigned, alleges, owing to the fact, as he that some members of the church are anarchists and socialists.' A gas pipe bomb filled with dynamite or guncotton was thrown into the Iowa iron works, in Dubuque, Iowa, at night; and exploded. The building extinguished Was set bjQ oij fire but the flames were the workmen. The theory is that tht> bomb was prepared the by works, some one else having a grudge against anarchist. The house or of In¬ an out and out spector Anderson, of Oran eville, Onta¬ rio, was again blown up by ynarpite; the, charge was placed on the veranda at the front of the house, aDd two front room? were badly shattered. Mrs. Anderson, who was alone in the house was sitting beside, a stove in the dining room and was badly, shocked The inspector had just left the bouse and was only about ten yaTds away when the explosion occurred. He was stunned by the concussion. Several Or an geville "hotel keepers have been fined foT violating the law during the past week, and it is a notable coinc dence that dynamite explosions ahvavs occur after the liquor men have been fined for break¬ ing the law. VOICE FltOiYI PRISON. The Arbeiter-Zeitung, of Chicago, Ill., publishes a letter from Michael Schwab, written in the county jail, the day before the execution of the anarchists. The letter is printed under the heading, “August Spies as man,’’ but is devoted to proving that, while Spies andLingg had different ideas, the editor, neverthe¬ less, had a high opinion of the bomb maker. Schwab asserts that when Death Watch Osborn, informed Spies of Lingg’s death, Spies burst into tears. The letter further says that w’hen Fielden, Spies and Schwab were taken to the jail library, the afternoon of the day before the hang¬ ing to bid good-by to their families, the trio were in the room for fully two hours, in company with two deputies; that con¬ versation naturally turned to Lingg’s death, and “we all agreed that he was mi extraordinary man.” Spies said: “Lingg could was a man of strong principle and not be frightened back from any idea that he had undertaken as principle. He was impelled by high ideas. John Brown was such a man. Freuch revolution had its Dantou and its Marat, and also the American revolution showed characters similar to Lingg.” The Arbeiter-Zeitung also publishes a letter addressed to the wife of Engel, by a certain showman, offering her $10,000 for the body ol exhibition Lingg,°the in purpose different being cities to throughout place it cm the United States. PRETTY LIVELY CHIKVOYAJiT. Three American flags in a frame work of crape were displayed from a residence on Pine street in Sc Louis, Mo. In the windows of the residence were pictures also of the executed Chicago anarchists, framed with black. These symbols of sorrow soon gathered a crowd m the vi¬ cinity of the building, and thoy tore down the flags an 1 broke in the windows. Mrs Mary Duff, a clairvoyant, who occupied the first floor, threw bricks, pieces crowd, ol gas pipe and other missiles in'o the but without hurting anyo ic. She was placed under arrest for disturbing tno peace. ____ SOCIALISTS DOWN EAST. The Socialist element among the Ger man population of Adams, Mass., is like¬ ly to cause the removal of some mill op¬ eratives from that community. H dlmann Hall was occupied by a small party of German Socialists, who were harangued and in German by a few of their number, the deeds of violence for which the Chi cago anarchists were hanged were loudly applauded.
