Royalty in Europe shows it's weak
ness BY the. pains it takes to punish
anyone who dares to joke about it. The
police of Berlin are very severe on per-
sons who make pleasantries about the
kaiser,s beard, and a man has been ar
rested in Dantzig for saying that crazy
King Otto is the most useful sovereign
III Europe, because he passes his time
peeling potatoes. A strong man laughs
at such harmless jests as these, but
coward or weakling resists them,
just as the mighty monarchs of Europe
are doing. They feel that ridicule
would soon. shake their throne from
under them.

GREAT scientists are liable to make
great mistakes. A story is told in
Electricity. newspaper devoted to
that science, of a college professor fifty
years ago. who explained to his class
the experiments of DR.. Franklin with
his kite, by which he esta blished the
identity of lightning and frictional
electricity. At the close of his lecture
he said to his class: Young men, you
were torn to late too witness the devel-
opment of this great science" But the
science has gone on developing ever
since, and future developments will
probably be greater and more startling
than any in the past.

THE MARRIED WonAN'S ACT.

THE MARRIED WOMAN'S d CT.
For years the enactment in refer
ence to business transactions has been
the source Of much litigation in the
Circuit and Supreme Courts. Near
ly every phase of questions had
been pretty well settled through a
series of decisions since 1869. The
last legislature, however, has so tin
kered with the law as to render al
most absolute all the works of the
courts. 1t amended the old law by
almost IN king new one and those
who have heretofore been doing
business as agent for their wives had
better be very careful. A wife can
not now b come surety for her hus-
band and in reference TO carrying on
business we quote for general infor-
nation the 18th section of the act:
"A married woman NAV in her
own name, but not by an agent, car
ry on for her own use and benefit
any trade or business, but she shall
not do SO as the partner of her huS-
band or any other person. The
stock and property used in such
trade and business, and the issues
and profits thereof, shall be and re
main her separate property and es-
ta3e, and shall not be subject to the
control or disposal of her husband,
nor Liable fer his debts. And no
married woman shall be bound or
held liable for any contract or agree
ment, verbal or VIZ tten, not made by
her personally"

ure of Barring Brothers and the big
drop in Argentine securities. These
two financial disasters frightened

feeling abroad, especially as regards

the race closer between Mills and Crisp,
and thus improve the chance of the
final selection of some third man.
The Springer people are speaking very
hopefully, even confidently, and if the
Illinois candidate does not boom it will
not be because of any lack of activity
about his headquarters. With the ILL
nois and Iowa men who are working for
him, and the large number of men who
come to look upon his cheerful counte-
nance, there is a hustle and crowd in his
rooms which is very inspiring to his
friends.
Springer Will Grow"
One of his most active workers said.
speaking Of the estimates that were be-
ing made as to strength: Mr.. Springer
is a growing candidate, and is going to
continue to grow until the final ballot.
He may not have quite as many votes
on the first ballot as Mr.. Mills will have,
but then again he may have more. 1
have not been up long enough to get my
imagination to work, so l shall tell you
the exact truth as to my estimate of the
relative strength of the candidates.
Crisp will lead all on the first ballot. 1
figure out that he will have So votes on
the first ballot, and do not think he
will grow after that. He may have
more ON the first ballot Mr.. Hatch
will have probably IS votes, and Mr..
Mcmillan IS or 20. The rest you can
divide between Mills and Springer, with
an uncertainty as to who will get the
most, but a certainty that the difference
will not be great either way now. The
advantage Mr.. Springer will have over
Mr. Mills and over all the rest is that he
will grow rapidly"
And mills Is Growing"
One of Mr.. Mills lieutenants at the
Metropolitan said: II do not believe
that any reliable estimate of strength
can be made at this time. think that
that will be impossible until about the
middle of the week. At this stage of the
fight, while something can be judged
from the perusal of letters and dis
patches, which are reassuring. estimates
must be made uncertainty upon what
certain members say they believe to be
the position of certain other members
in their locality Mr.. Mills, believe,
is growing in strength all the while. /
don't think any man can take up the
states and figure the thing out with any
knowledge for few days yet. have
great confidence in Mr.. Mills election
from the general outlook. I feel conf
dent that he will be particularly strong
in New England"
The scenes about the Crisp headquar-
tiers indicates great activity and conf
dence. Mr.. McMillin has roomful of
callers at almost all hours of the day,
and is almost constantly in conference
with persons who will have something
to do in determining the contest. There
is no indication about his headQuarter
of any timidity on his part part in en-
tering the fight
