occur between outposts without serious loss Oh
either side. The Cubans claim an advantage OF
position and earnestness on the part of their

capture. Even those who are wounded are ex-
ecuted on the field. Quesada has hitherto re-
spected the rights OF prisoners. This policy is
giving dissatisfaction in his camp. His follow
ers demand retaliation.

A Woman Nav Hire Her Husban

An interesting decision has recently been
made BY the United States District Court
for the State Of Michigan. The Chicago
| Leqql Neus reports the opinion OF the court
in full. Mrs. ANNA E. RUSSELL "carrled
son. managed, and controlled, an iron
"foundry and other Interests in her OWL
"namc," VITA money loaned her by friends,
70 whom she gave her own notes, and with
whom, as we'll IA with her husband. she adj
viscd as to the proposed investments. The
husband. who was insolvcnt, was hired By
the wife, and received a monthly compcn'
sation. The husband applied for the bcne-
fit Of the bankrupt law; and application
was made by his assignee to have the pro-
perty, real and personal, held By his wife
turned over to the assignee for the benefit Of
The husbands creditors. The application
vas based upon the claim that said property,
though acquired in the wifc's name. had
| been acquired for the husbands benefit.
In giving its opinion the court said:
"Mrs. Russell began without means-hcr
husband was n bankrurt-without credit
hopclessly insolvent. Her credit was bet
ter than his, because she was not involved
in debt, and he was.
but Russell did worl; n portion of the
time for his wife, and received from her n
monthly COMPENSATION. How does this fact
affect the right of property? Not in the
slightest, if u married woman may carry
on business on her own account and for her
own interest. If she may do this she may
employ all needed labor, workmen, and
gents. If she may hire the services Of
any one at all, she may employ her hus-
band and pay him.
"That the husband il primarily bound
TO support his family may be conceded, bur
suppose he cannot, and suppose the wife
can, she may do so. But there is nothing
in the case to show that Russell did not,
through his own earnings, support his
family. If it should be established that
his earnings went into her property, then
he would own an interest in the property.
But this fact does not appear"
In Michigan, the wife may acquire, hold,
and own property in her OWL right, ard
carry on uLSli!cs5 III ucl OWL iflItc -tSiiSSi
said the court, the Prescriptions are all
''in her favor on the question Of the owner
" ship of this property. The legal title ia
- indisputahly in her. She has possession.
I" The proofs do not overcome these pre-
- sumptions. We cannot take her property
= and hand it over to her husbands ere
. ditors." And so the application CT the
assignee in bankruptcy to have Mrs. Rus
property turned over to him Tor the
o. Mr.. RUssELL'S creditors was re-
As to the question of fact the court held
= that the property used in the business
- and that purchased by Mrs. RUSSELL
/" and standing in her name, was her i'll
50 dividual property, and not liable to be
" taken to satisfy tho claims Of her hus-
" bands creditors"
As to the question of law the court held
- that q married woman may carry OF
- business on her own account and for her
g own interest that she may employ all
" needed labor, workmen, and agents; and

WHERE THE Sun STANDS STiLL.-Mr.
Seward, at San Francisco, expressed the
greatest interest in viewing, for the first
time, the broad Pacific. But at Sitka, for
which he has set out, he will find far more
interesting noyelty-one which not dozen
persons in the old States have seen. He will
see the sun standing STILL" as it did in
the days of Joshua. South: Alaska is in the
latitude of sixty, very nearly the same as
that of southermost Greenland. In hat
latitude the sun does not set at all in suns
mer. 1t remains about twenty degrees
above the horizon at the hour we call mid
night. The only mode of knowing there
that it is midnight is to watch the sun
when it begins to ascend. Fowls go to
roost at o'clock in the afternoon, ard
repose until the sun is vel up. In winter,
of course, it is the reverse, as in higher
ATTITUDES the sun is not seen for six weeks.
1t used to bethe boast of England than on
its empire the sun never sets. Well, VIC
have an empire on which the sun only SETS
occasionally. s...-,.- -,..-v.s..
