Chicago, Oct. 12.—Miss Jessie Ackermann, an 'around the world' missionary of the Women's Christian Temperance union, arrived in Chicago yesterday, after a trip of 40,000 miles, which she claims is the longest journey ever made by a woman. She has been abroad for seven years, and her work has carried her through China, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, India, South Africa, Madagascar, Java, Singapore and the Hawaii Islands. She has been a guest in 2,000 homes, has entertained in palaces, slept in ancient tombs, lived through the jungle fever, and, as she expresses it, tied the white ribbon of the W. C. T. U. twice around the globe.
