Fears for lhe women or England.

Two weeks ago the committee which or
ganized come years since 10 agitate in En-
gland for the "married woman's property
act" held lis final meeting. Its work sdone,
and the act takes effect January 1st. Under
its provisions a married woman holds her own
properly and can make valid contracts and
be sued. The real and personal property
which she owns at her marriage no longer
becomes her husbands. Women already
married will obtain possession. of property
falling TO them hereafter by Inheritance, and
with respect to that property may contract
and be sued in blissful independence of their
husbands. II is a very great change from
what has been, and many prophecies are
made as to the probable result. 1t is feared
that with their limited knowledge of business
the ladies may be easily led into unlucky
speculations. The remark that the new law
il damper on the harmless sport OF heiress
hunting is coupled with the assertion that it
opens new career to men of brsins, because
it creates new, inexperienced and easily be-
guiled class OF property-holders. 1t is stated
fact that the managers of stock enter
prizes, whose chief promises lies in the pros
pecluses, are furnishing up their Office signs
and writing anew their slluriug financial
romances to tempt people away from the
three per cents and into the realm OF big
profits. Still il is not to be overlooked that
great majority OF women are safer than
men on the subject of speculating with the
family money.

1t is an indisputable fact that there is an
automatic succession in the higher mental
processes, which varies according 10 the
training. Musicians, mathematicians, poets
and others who attempt creative works, ex-
perience great aid 10 such work from the
autom attic movements of the mind. In at
tempting to recall names which have slipped
from the memory, it has often been toand
best to let the mind alone, and IT will OF

indulgence OF the world, and indicated it
too. In little while all was over. The
Blaines were relegaied to the back part OF

FREIMEL'S FRIENDS.
He Was Presented With q Gold
Headed Cane and Baton
Last Night.

For two years past Mr.. l.. Freimel has
filled the responsible position of leader OF
the Sedalia Silver COrnet band, and the
proficiency acquired by the members dur
ing that time has been due, i'm a great
measure, to the exertions put forth by the
worthy teacher. This fact was recognized
by all, and they determined upon present
ing him with a small testimonial Oi their
regard. Last night was the time selected,
and at half-past seven o'clock, immediate
ly before proceeding to the park, Mr.. John
Scheer took the floor and asked for order
He commenced by saying that he was
no speech maker, but the work before him
did not require Oratory. He paid glow
ing tribute to Prof. Freimel as teacher
and a gentleman, which fact, he said, was
recognized by all his associates.
From an inner coat pocket he then pro
duced beautiful ebony baton, silver
mounted, which he presented to the PROBES
sor, on behalf OF the members
Mr.. Freimel accepted the gift, and was
about to reply, when MIR. ocheer inter-
posed with, "Hold on Pm not through
yet," and at the same time produced a
gold-headed cane, bearing the following
inscription: Presented to Leopold Freimel,
Nav Is, 1882" This he also handed the
professor and asked that he accept.
To say that Mr.. Freimel was surprised,
would be putting it mildly. He had not
had even an inkling of what was going on,
but was equal to the emergency, and re-
turned hearty thanks, promising to reply
in a more fitting manner at another time.
The entire party then congratulated the
professor, and they proceeded to the park to
while away the time on skates.
The presents were beautiful, and the
BAzoO has no hesitation in saying that
they were wortbily bestowed.
