be removed and brought home for burial
in the Masonic Cemetery Of this city.
After his death she remained widow

high rank established the boundary line
between Mexico and the United States to-

events in which Tolman was participant
was the Modoc war, and it was his last,
for after General Candy was killed in the
massacre he retired with one leg manned
for life.
T. Since Mrs. Tolman arrived in San Fran
cisco she practiced medicine, combining
herself to the specially of female diseases.
The reason for her assuming the name of
%Dr. Martin was explained last night by
General Tolman, who said it was done to
avoid legal difficulties with her second
husband. Then she studied medicine
under a DR.. Martin in Melbourne
and passed the required examina-
tions, but could not get a diploma
. because at that time the English Govern
ment did not recognize women in medi-
cine. Still she held the certificates en-
tlting her to diploma. Two years ago
she was compelled to relinquish practice,
a cancer having settled on her breast. 1t
was this dreadful disease that ended her
days
''She had the honor of being appointed
physician to the royal family of Hawaii,
said DR.. Tolman. THAT was before
KalaKaua's time. She was then treating
Prince Peter for leproSy, and he told her

who was none other than Queen Liliuoka-
lani. For this Queen Emma poisoned
Prince Peter, and Mrs. Tolman received
a special diploma as physician to the
royal family of Hawaii"
DR.. Tolman changed bis story to tell
other interesting things about his dead
wife. He continued:

The present Sir Albert Won Bowen is

was in these two mansions where nv wife
passed the happlest days of her life.
Il have notified them Of her death and

at an underaker2s. 1t was my wife's ex-
press wish before death that 1 should
acquaint her family OF her decease, and if
they wish her body will go home to the
old family vaults for its long rest.

born alive, but four are now living. Three
of them born to Meyers are in England
under care of my wife's family. and the
fourth in mine.
About the time of her marriage with
Captain Meyers an estate of 500. 600 was
left her on condition she should not marry.
Of this she first learned after the wedding.
10 case of her marriage the estate was to
go to her heirs, and now the children of
Captain Meyers are heirs to large for
