When he came to the United States he assumed legally the name of Frank Leslie. Miss Folline was engaged in literary work on the Ladies' Magazine, and through the illness of one of its literary editors, Miss Folline succeeded to the position. After the death of her husband, she continued the publication of his periodicals and brought success out of what seemed failure at the time of her husband's death. She is an extensive traveler and prominent socially.

Was born in the town, which is now Rockland, Massachusetts, September, 1844. In 1884 she undertook to publish and edit the paper established in her own town, which was called the Rockland Independent, of which she has long remained the editor and chief and sole proprietor, superintending the business department and job printing as well as occupying the editorial chair. This paper has been made the vehicle of her reforms—social and political. In 18S7 she represented the Knights of Labor in the Women's International Council held in Washington, and spoke before the Knights of Labor and the Anti-Poverty Society. She frequently addresses associations and woman suffrage organizations, and is conspicuous in this line of work.

Was born February, 1846, in Roseburg, Oregon. Her father, Aaron Rose, was an early settler of this state, and for him the name of Roseburg was given to one of the leading towns. Miss Rose's early life was spent in the wilds of this new country surrounded by Indians. She became the wife of Rufus Mallory, who was at one time a member of Congress of the State of Oregon, and one of the most successful lawyers in the Northwest, and member of the firm to which Senator Dolph belongs. In 1874 the old slavery prejudice was still so strong in the State of Oregon that some forty-five negro children were prevented from attending the Salem public school, and no white teacher would consent to teach them even in a separate school, although a public fund was set apart for this purpose. Mrs. Mallory volunteered to instruct these children in the face of the ridicule heaped upon her. After three years of personal effort on the part of Mrs. Mallory, and her example of duty to the public, these children were admitted to the white schools, and all opposition disappeared. Mrs. Mallory used the public money which she drew as salary for this work as a fund for the purchase of a printing plant, and started a monthly magazine known as the World's Advanced Thought, in which she was assisted in the editorial department by Judge H. M. McGuire. This magazine has a circulation among many advanced thinkers and workers in every portion of the civilized world. Mrs. Mallory's home is in Portland, Oregon.
