Fight Over Age of Maria Barberi Stirs Suffrage Debate
A letter from Alice Stone Blackwell sparring with Frederick W. Peabody examines Blackwell's claims about Maria Barberi's age, Blackstone law, and the ethics of reporting in the Woman's Journal. The writer accuses Blackwell of misquotation and defends suffrage arguments with references to English and American history and notable figures.
Miss Blackwell Opposes Suffrage by Heredity Argument
Frederick W Peabody argues against equal suffrage on hereditary grounds. The letter notes centuries of male political activity and points out that women’s past domestic roles do not prove lack of political capacity. It questions male-line transmission of ability and cites that sons often resemble mothers.

Levi Foss, a 48-year-old Calais native who spent years at sea, was laid to rest at Mount Hope Cemetery after a funeral held at Seamen's Friend Society chapel. The Boston Seamen's Union, his only earthly kin in effect, stood in as mourners, with landlady Mrs. F Erickson noting his lack of money or permanent home.
