Mrs ]. N. Coffey of Hammond died
Friday evening at st. Mary's hospital
after a lingering Illness. Mrs. Coffey
was brought over from her home on
the West Side some weeks ago to be
nearer medical aid and has remained
here since occasionally gaining strength
but as often relapsing. She has been
operated upon and has received every
attention that professional nursing
could devise or the medical science
could advance. Nothing could be done,
however, that could prolong life, and
she succumbed at last to the dread
messenger. The funreal win be held

tribunal Mrs. Pier is a daughter Of
Vermont. having been born at St Al

in 1858. she was graduated from the
High School of Fond du Lac and after
ward taught school in that place. In
1866 she became the wife OF Col Colwert
Kendall Pier. a lawyer and banker, and
afterward. with her daughter, Kate
Hamilton took the course in the College
Of Law Of the University of Wisconsin,
from which they both received the de-

Columbia women are not admitted to
law schools for white persons only. the
Howard University only accepting them,

Mussey to establish the school and give
valuable time and thought out of an ex-
ceptionally busy life to the success Of
the creation. She is a professional wo-
man of strenuous life, with large prac-
tice in the courts of the District of Co

admitted to practice before the Supreme
Court of the United States In that court
she has won several cases and has dis
tinguished herself as 4 thorough student
and vlGilant antagonist. She Is the au-

mothers on an equality with fathers as
