WOMAN IN BUSINESS.

If Woman goes into business with her
husband in NewYork she must, it appears,
accept the full responsibility of such an
act. This is what the court of appeals
tied partnership had been formed by a man
and his wife. The business was carried on
under his name. She was special part
ner and had put in twenty-five thousand
dollars. In an action against the firm for
debt the question was raised whether she
was liable. Three of the seven judges
hold to the opinion that while mar
ried woman may engage in business
by herself or form a partnership
with anyone else but her husband,
she cannot lawfully enter into partner
ship with her husband, and although they
agree to become partners and as such
transact business and incur liabilities she
is not liable to the creditors of the firm.
In support of their view numerous decis-
ions of the Safe courts were cited. -Four
of the judges hold that married woman
is as free to enter into partnership with
her husband as with any other person, and
as free as she is to carry on business by
herself, and that If she agrees to become 9
partner of her husband she incurred al
the liabilities of O partner. That was the
decision of the court and now stands a:
the law of the State.

THANKSGIVING.

Again the day of thanksgiving has come.
To be sure, the thanksgiving part of the
day has become greatly abbreviated since
it was first established, but what has been
taken off of the thanksgiving has been
added to the eating and drinking and
making merry. There are, however, many
earnest and thoughtful people who will be
heartily and soberly thankful to-day, and
who will make the day an occasion for a
review and a better appreciation of their
blessings. And the rest will perhaps be
thankful that they can have good time.
There is, as usual, much to be thank
full for. Peace and prosperity have pre-
vailed in this country during the year,
and though Wall street has been in
trouble lately it is cause for thankfulness
that the financial crisis has not been worse
1t is also cause for thankfulness that ir
the recent elections the Democrats did mo-
| other public servants. Enough Republi
cans for seed escaped. 1t is also some
thing to be thankful for that the grip didn'
last all the year. And there are man,
other blessings which have been bestowed
| upon usas a people. Coming down to in
dividuals all can find something to b
glad about, and many can find grea
deal.
Therefore let US eat, drink and b
merry, and try to manage SO that We wi
not have to send for the doctor tomorrow
And it is good plan to remember to-da
"the poor and those who have no helper.

NEW MORNING, NOVEMBER

in Philadelphia in December, when the es-
tate of Major Lawrence Lewis. last surviv-
ing executor of the estate of General
Washington (and his nephew, and also
the estate of his son, Lorenzo Lewis, of
Clarke county, Virginia, are put on SALE
In this collection are found Washington's
personal account books, his original auto
graphic survey books, his original ledger
of Mount Vernon distillery and fishery,
his autograph list of slaves, his prophetic
letter in relation to the abolition of slavery.
The personal belongings consist of his
punch bowl of rose china and silver ladle,
his secretary candlesticks, music books
(the score of which he drew, and words in
his handwriting), and Indian pipes, pre-
sented to him by Indian chiefs. The sale
will also embrace Martha Washington's
family Bible.
Senator Eyarts told Washington re-
porter the other day that theology, as a
profession, had no attraction for him when
he left college in 1887. Medicine" he
adds, "was such grewsome business that
could not bring myself to consider it

F. Berlyack, in Vienna, became tn,
agent some time ago for French firm
that makes food for young babies. II
order that he might distribute samples o.
the food advantageously he undertook ,
superficial census of the newborn 'chil
dren of the imperial city. The youns
men whom he engaged as census-takeri
| were paid certain sum for each name
AS they found inhospitable welcomes a
about all the houses, yet were eager fo
the pay, they got together, and, with tn
aid of the directory, compiled lists with
out any regard to the true condition o
Vienna nurseries. The result was that il
few days Herr Berlyack was sending hi
baby food hit or miss among the bach
elors, spinsters and young married couple
of the town. The Viennese mind does no
appreciate this kind of joke, and within
twenty-four hours Herr Berlyack was il
court to answer the charge of insulting a
unmarried woman of forty years. He toll
all his story, even to the detail that hi
wicked oensus-takers had misled hir
into mailing baby. food to an unma1
ried Austrian minister of state. b
was let off with fine in the case in ques
ton, as well as in several others that b
appeared in during the next week.
