ing in Eastern Pennsylvania in the in
terests of the Mothers congress, in
which this state has place of special
honor, inasmuch as Mrs. Frederic
Schoff. of Philadelphia, has just been
elected national president.
Mrs Schoff is woman eminently
fitted for this high position, being the
mother of six devoted and beautiful
children, most of whom have taken
places in the world which do credit to
their home influences. Mrs. Schoff de-
sires to unite the mothers of Pennsyi-
vania for the better development of the
home and child life.
In these days of multitudinous or
ganizations, this one stands for that
bulwarli of our liberties-the American
home-for q work that shall be pre-
VentiNe instead of reformatory, going
back to the beginnings of life and habit
making for IL better and wiser parent
hood; bringing into closer relations the
home and the school for the benefit Of
the child; protecting all childhood by
giving it a better civic environment
and securing such legislation that chill
dren of tender years shall not be tried
in ordinary courts and committed to
Jail with old offenders.
Mrs Grout will return to Scranton
next week. and hopes to meet many of
the mothers and public school teachers
to secure their aid in the work of the
congress.

YOUNG WOMAN SUICIDES.
Drank Carbolic Acid and Dice
Shortly Afterwards.

Mrs. May Martin, the 2O-year-old
wife of John Martin, ended her life
Saturday afternoon at the Bigelow
House, 517 Mulberry street, by swal-
lowing several ounces of carbolic acid.
No cause is assigned for the deed,
and the husband was inclined to the
belief that she had taken the acid ac-
cidentally.
The couple came to this city some
time ago from Boston, and but little
is known of them. They had been
boarding at the Bigelow House. and
had partaken of the MONDAY meal.
Shortly afterwards, Martin left the
house, and his wife went to her room.
A few minutes afterwards, occu-
pants of the house heard the sound of
a falling body upstairs. and upon in
vestigation found Mrs. Martin lying on
the floor, with blood oozing from her
mouth.
DR.. Longstreet and DR.. Finburg We're
called, but they were unable to help
her, and she died soon after their ar
rival. Coroner Saltry was notified
and when he began an investigation
found a four-ounce bottle containing
an ounce of carbolic acid. An autopsy
was made, and an inquest will be
held.

A BRUTAL ASSAULT.
Discarded Lover Kicked Miss Dad
rich in the Face.

John Green, a machinist, employed
at the Cliff works, committed q vicious
| assault on young woman named Ada
Dadrich, Saturday night and is now
under bail for his appearance at court
to aswer for the crime. From what
could be learned of the case, the couple
had been keeping company, but the
girl cut him off on account of his in
temperate habits.
At 11.3O o'clock Saturday night they
met on the court house square, when
Miss Dadrich was returning home
from work in the New York depart
ment store. Green wanted to accom-
pdny her to her boarding place, on
Adams avenue, but she resented his
attentions.
Without other provocation, the brute
knocked her down and kicked her in
the face. Her screams attracted DR..
a. j. Winebrake and Editor James J..
Mahon, of the Free Press, and the for
mer dealt Green knockout blow just
as he was about to escape.
Patrolmen Johler and Gemmel after
wards appeared on the scene and es-
cortad the couple to the station house.
Green was intoxicated, and was locked
up on the charge of disorderly con-
duct. The young woman was not in
clined to prosecute him at first, and
had but littel to say concerning the
episode. she is Il native of Sprinfeld,
Ohio.
Green was given "a hearing before
Magistrate Howe yesterday morning
and held under $500 bail on the charge
of assault and battery. Miss Dadrich
appeared against him.
