LUCRETIA MOTT, the well-kDown
Quaker philanthropist, died Thursday
evening at her home near Philadelphia
She was a New England woman. born
on the island of Nantucket, in 1903 Her
maiden name was Coffin. In 1904 she
removed with her fathers family to
Boston, whence she was sent to reside
with sister in Dutchess county, n. Y.
In 1909 her father removed to Philadel-
phia, where at the age of IS she met and
married James Mott, the descendant of
an old Quaker family. During the war
of 1912 her father died and left his fam
lily totally without support. Lucretia
and her husband undertook to provide
for them. At the age of 25 she began to
preach in the meetings of the Friends,
and soon became strong laborer in re-
ligiOus fields.
Her principal work, though, was in the
anti-slavery field. In 1884 she was an
active organizer of the Female Anti
Slavery Society of Philadelphia, and be-
came so identified with its interests that
Garrison himself was hardly more fa-
nous or more abused than Lucretia
Mott" From that year until President
Lincoln's Proclamation of Emancipation
she was one of the strongest workers in
the anti-slavery cause
In 1910 the Worlds Anti-Slavery Con-
vention was called to meet in London.
The Philadelphia society sent a number
of delegates, among whom We're Lucre-
tia Mott, and Anne Greene Phillips, the
wife of Wendell Phillips. After a hot
debate the convention refused to admit
women, and they took no part in the
meeting. After the liberation of the
slaves Mrs. Mott turned her attention to
other works of philanthropy, to which
her life was devoted until her death.
Her husband, James Mott, died in 1868.

less than $250,OOO, and whose annual in
come of, say S12,5OO, shall be paid to the
oldest ex-President of the United States.
Details as to investment and manage
ment of the fund are to be agreed upon
by trustees representing three-fourths in
amount of all subscriptions, guided only
by the general principle that the survi-
wing ex-President whose incumbency is
most distant in point of time shall EN-
joy the income of the fund during his
lifetime, and while he holds no salaried
Office under the Federal government.
Subscriptions are invited from men OF
both political parties, as the movement
Is non-partisan. 1t is stated that $780,
900 has already been pledged to such a
fund
