Mystery Surrounding the Death or Miss
Tobin, of Franklin, Pa.
NEW YORK, May 14.-The body of the
young woman found drowned at Staple
ton, s. l., was identified by DIR. S. A.
Robinson, of West New Brighton. The
body is that of Miss Mary E. Tobin, OF
Franklin, Pa, who until recently was
an office assistant of DIR. Robinson. She
left New Brighton on April 10, stating
she was going to Franklin to be married.
A few days later a Mrs. McKenna, re-
siding in Brooklyn, called to see DIR.
Robinson in relation to Miss Tobin's
whereabouts. She told the doctor that
Miss Tobin had sent her trunk to Brook
lyn, and that she had not seen Miss
Tobin. She feared that something had
happened to her.
Last week Daniel S. and David Tobin,
two brothers of the dead woman, called
at the doctors residence and inquired for
their missing sister. A few months ago
Miss Tobin became member of the
Methodist church ON the terrace at West
New Brighton, where she was constant
attendant.

Intellectual Life.

Miss Lillian Whiting, the literary
editor of the Boston Traveller, finds
something wanting in the six principles
of health for women, which were lately
enumerated as .'Air, food, sleep, eXer-
else, recreation, dress" These are all
good, but Miss Whiting would add a
seventh-mental vity-''intellectual
life-the one achievement that, most Of
all, produces energy and life, and which
is the magic preserver of youth.
If Mrs. Howe had substituted medita-
tions on dress reform, and ten miles
day walks, for study of the philosophy
and the higher literature. in her youth,
it is question if she would now be, at
seventy, travelling over the country
lecturing and organizing work with the
vigor of woman of thirty. When will
women come to realize that, for the
most part, good health is the outward
result Of harmonious mental and spirit
ual activity?"

IN WOMAN'S BEHALF.
A POWERFUL ADVOCATE.
Efhcacy of the General Newspaper in DIFF

Eh1cacy of the General Newspaper in Diff
fusing Suffrage Sentiment.
The Importance of press work in ad-
vancing the cause of suffrage is not yet
fully realized. Nor can the difficulties
in the way of the work be thoroughly
appreciated, except by those engaged in
it.
The results from all suffrage writing,
says Mary e. Cardwell, probably always
seem inadequate, not only to the writer's,
but to others. 1t may or may not re-
ceive passing notice, or careful atten-
ton, or it may lead to an attack upon
the cause-an attack usually so worth
less as to give no room for intelligent
controversy an impression is apt
to be left that nothing written can be
made convincing enough to break down
the walls of indifference and wilful con-
servatism But it is truth, which 1T
should not be necessary to repeat to suf-
fragists, that to-day suffrage sentiment
is being created largely by the press.
Conventions are held once year. Local
societies do good work by keeping alive
and strengthening, chiefly, the suffrage
sentiment of their members. The press
is not only at work the year around,
but it reaches millions, who appear only
to be waiting 10 have their minds awak-
ened upon all manner of subjects, and
their honest opinions furnished them
by the papers they read.
If suffragists better understood the
power of continuous published advo-
e ha ffrar in
the country would be in a most flourish
ing condition; their number would in
crease, their distribution among non
suffragists would be great and many
converts would be made.
But it is in the nature of things that
no suffrage paper should have as wide
an influence as the local press of any
State or district A general newspaper
is read by hundreds which the organ of
any movement could not possibly reach.
And where a movement is represented
in the columns of any newspaper, it will
almost inevitably at some time be
brought before the eyes of every reader
of the paper. To insert suffrage news,
notes, comments and arguments in the
columns of local newspapers, is, in the
truest sense of the phrase, sowing seed
broadcast.
In regard to the work in Indiana, Mrs.
NJ. s. Brooks, one Of the most efficient
of the local uperintendents, says: ''Of
one thing I am convinced; this local
press work, judiciously executed, will
prove to be the lever that shall make
the vote in this State unanimous for
woman suffrage, whenever it shall be
brought before the people"
1t is not too much to say that if every
paper in the State published suffrage
matter regularly, or even occasionally,
it would not be long before the question
would be brought before the people.
Perhaps the same result would almost
as rapidly accrue if one paper in every
county published suffrage matter regu-
larly-a condition of things which might
probably exist now. if the suffragists of
the State could comprehend its impor-
tance

New York,s potter,s Field.

The potter's field in New York City is
located at present on Hart's Island, and
since 1859 more than 10000 bodies have
been buried there There are no single
interments; the bodies are placed in
trenches, dug in regular rows, As feet
long, IA feet wide and 10 feet deep.
Each of these pits will hold $50 bodies,
which are laid three deep, in six rows>of
twenty-five each. In 1887 4,15S bodies
were buried on Hart's Island; the inter-
ments average about 30 per day. In the

eight students have elected the same
subject, and are reading Oppolzef IN
French and German. since there is no
English translation of the Bahnbestino-
mung. 1t is study which young men
rarely undertake, except as they are
looking forward to careers as astrono-
mers. Let us have fair play, and let us
have the truth in regard to what women
have done and are doing. 1t is unjust
and unscientific to maintain preiu-
dice-born theories in spite of evidence
An old cardinal refused to look into Gal
ileos telescope from fear that he might
see Jupiter's moons; and the existence
of such moons was contrary to Scrip
ture and to Aristotle. The cardinal is
not without intellectual descendants to-
day; but the determination to disregard
facts does not alter facts. 1t is too late
to say that women can not learn Greek,
or mathematics, or science, or any
thing else that men learn, and he
who undertakes the defense of the
antiquated theories relating to the ''fe-
male mind" has a prodigious difficulty
on hand. As for the girls of Georgia,
am 10th to believe that they are any less
able or ambitious than their sisters in
other States; and as one interested in
the great State of Georgia, can not but
regret that she should retard
her own progress by refusing to
deal as justly By her daughters as
by her sons-for this, as it seems to me,
must be the result of the rejection of
the bill to admit women to the State
University. The accumulating testi-
mony of history and science compels us
to believe that country can reach the
highest and truest prosperity only as it
makes the most out of all of its citizens,
the women as well as the men.

him and he soon fell into evil ways.
Going from bad to worse, he eventually
became hostler at country hotel.
Becoming DID, he was quickly incapaci'

poor-house. Researches among the ar
chives of Berls County show that the
Lincoln family came from Massachu-
setts and settled in Oley township, this
county, some time prior to 1875. They
soon became prominent citizens in that
and adjoining townships. The grand
father of President Lincoln went from
here to Virginia and thence to Kentucky,
according to authentic records. They
were among the largest taxpayers a
century ago, and the names of Mordecai.

1.-THE FEMALE MIND"
Facts Prove that 1t is Capable of Grasping

Facts Prove that it is Capable of Grasping
and Holding as Much as the Male Mind.
After reading the account given in a
recent Woman's Journal of the debate
in the Georgia Senate on the question of
admitting women to the State Universe
ty, Miss Ellen A. Hayes, Professor of
pathematics in Wellesley College,
wrote letter to the Atlanta Constitu-
tion in which she utterly routed the
Senator who ''never saw a woman who
would look at a logarithm." Prof.
Hayes says:
D The Senator seems not only never to
have tried to see such woman, but in
voting against the admission of women
to the university of his State he is
resolved to preserve himself, if possi-
BILE. from ever seeing one Con-
sidering the sweeping nature of
some of the Senator'S statements, and
his disregard of easily accessible facts,
his reference to mathematics and sci
ence was unfortunate. A scientific man
will be cautious in his data and his
logic before affirming that women are
disgusted the minute you enter sci
ence and astronomy. AS bearing on
the question Of women and mathe-
matics / beg leave to state few OF
the facts. and / take them from one
college where six hundred young women
are studying. In respect to geographical
distribution these students represent
the entire United States, including
Georgia, with half dozen foreign coun-
tries in addition. All of them study
mathematics throughout their freshman
year, and all candidates for the degree
of B. s. continue the study, reading
analytic geometry through the sopho-
more year. In the last two years math-
ematics is elective for all. AT this
present time the class in calculus num-
bers twenty-five, being twenty-three per
cent. Of the entire junior class. / invite
comparison of this per cent. with the
per cent of young men who elect cal
culus under the same circumstances,
{. e., who are pursuing course In the
liberal arts and are not reading for the
profession of engineer. Young men in
polytechnic schools, where calculus is a
required subject, have been known to
express surprise that so many young
women take the subject when not
obliged to do so.
Nobody is dragging these students
through calculus, nobody urged them to
elect it; they simply enjoy mathematics
and wish to learn more. And it need
not be imagined that the course is
''soft' one, adapted to the female
mind" Comparisons may be made on
this point also. Last year six young
women, members of the senior class In
this institution, read Celestial Dynam-
les and the theory of Orbit Determine
ton. Near the close of the year they
were given their choice-more theory or
the determination of the orbit OF a
comet. They were distinctly informed
that the latter would be very laborious,
and they knew that one undetected mis-
take would vitiate the result They
choose the orbit, went pluckily to work
and completed the computation. deter
mining the elements with success. The
manuscript Of the work contains over
