London, June 2S.--Mrs. Ellen G.
johnson, superintendent of the Massa-
chusetts Women's Reformatory pris-
on, died suddenly at the London resi-
dence of the bishop of Rochester, Rt.
Rev. Edward Stuart Talbot, ID. d.,
where she was guest. At is believed she
expired from heart failure, resulting
from excitement in reading paper at
Tuesdays meeting Of the international
Council of Women. The deceased was
attended by Mrs. DIR. Barrows, of Bos-
ton.
Mrs. johnson had been in weak
state of health for several days pre-.
vious TO reading her paper Tuesday
night Her immediate friends attempt
ed to dissuade her from reading. She
persisted. however, i'm keeping faith
with the public, but returned from the
meeting in a state of semicollapse.
Death came suddenly after arising
Wednesday morning, in the presence of
the bishops wife. pr. Barrows' dag
nosis of the cause of death was angina
pectoris. The fellow delegates of the
deceased were much shocked at her
death, as Mrs. johnson attended the
duchess Of Sutherland's reception Mon
day and was apparently in high spirits.
The remains will probably be shipped

London, June 29.-The Times in
rather ironical leading editorial on the
women's congress says: "We cannot
believe that the general attitude of the
congress is either wise or representa-
tive, or that the proceedings are likely
20 further the real interests Of woman
kind. Ii would be lamentable il these
indiscreet and exaggerated demands
should foster n reaction against the
process of gradual development where
by women have already gained so
much"

knowledge of the need of men trained in

science, but comparatively little attention

Congress to pass the National University
bill. With the returned petitions had come
letters asking principally three questions:
Win the National University be supported
by the government? Will there be tuition
fees? Will the university be open to men
