STILL ANOTHER WOMAN

was sold in Knaresborough for Cd
and a plug of tobacco. But American
women have apparently been held at
higher figure. In May, 1882, John How
ard of Araphahoe county, Col, sold his
wife Rebecca, together with all and sin
gular the improvements and heredita-
ments therein and thereon" for S75 and
a yellow dog. But these cases are hardly
to the point. They show the valuation
put upon certain women by certain men,
but do not in any sense show their legal
value. A woman's life under the law in
many states is worth the same as
man's-$5 900. But that seems an alb
surdly low figure when one considers the
figure she has been apprised at when
taken section by section. Her head APP
parently is not of much value. OF course
it cannot be considered separately, as
this article deals entirely with the value
of live woman, but considering as a
part of the whole damage
to it is not assessed very
high. An Illinois court has decided that
81, 200 is too much for hitting woman on
the head with Ratchet without force
enough to cause death, and from that de-
cision the estimate will have to be made.
A fair and impartial valuation under the
circumstances would put the figure at
about 81 900. A due consideration of this
ought to make AMMAN hesitate when he
loses his temper and reaches for a poker.
He would think twice before he would
try to smash 81 600 vase or piece of
bric-a-brac Shoulders have not been
valued quite so high. The case of Mrs.
Dudley of England will have to be taken
as criterion. She tried to pass under
an archway feet and 2 inches high while
sitting on top of a coach feet and
inches high and the result was disastrous
to her shoulders. OF course she didn't
lose them entirely, but she came near it
as possible and the $500 awarded her by
the jury may be taken as it's estimate for
their value

Not all Colorado, says the New York Sun
has put on mourning because OF the silver
slump, All the gold districts have frightened
up wonderfully in the past few weeks while
some Of the old camps are enjoying genuine
oldtime boom. I his is notably true of the
Cripple Creek district, and during the past
week or ten days there has been a greater in
fiuX Of miners and merchants into the town
than 1t has had for many months. The stages
are loaded and the hotels and boarding houses
crowded. Ola claims are being revoked and
several rich lunches and streaks Of ore have
been discovered that had been passed over
before In addition many valuable new strikes
have been made. and there is vast amount
OF active prospecting going on.

NUMBER OF INSTANCES.

This is bringing the value of woman
Quoted as only 5000 if killed in a rail
road wreck up pretty high, but it
doesn't complete the valuation by any
means. Her spine is worth quite a sum.
Damages due from falls, etc, have been
assessed at various sums. A Canadian
court places the value of Mrs. Eliza-
beth Jones' spine at 81 900. Mrs. Jones'
horse SHE'D at some new boards on a
bridge and she was thrown out of a
buggy. An English court in the case of
Mrs. Fry, whoinjured her spine by Jump
ing from the step of railway carriage
that had not stopped where il should,
awarded her $500, but in the United
States, spines have been held at a higher
figure. A Miss Herr of Illinois recovered
50 500 for damage to one, and a Miss
Parks was given SS,95S. AS the clos
est figuring seems to have been done in the
last case, where it is brought down to
odd dollars, that should probably stand
as the current quotation. More has I'M
doubtedly been paid for them, but the
records at hand do not show it. A foot
has been held to be worth 81 800, or s., 800
pair, and an ankle that was fractured
81 800. Legs seem to be worth all kinds
of sums. Two hundred and fifty dollars
was paid for one injured by dog in Eng
land, but only $3.50 and doctors bills were
allowed for one broken in Canada. Again
however, Massachusetts comes to the
front with a valuation of $4,000 a pair.
For thighs there is a quotation of 81 900
each. From the figures given il will
be seen that an attractive woman is
worth Sl61 1865, itemized as follows:

From the Elmira Budget.

From the Elmira Budget.
What is the value of woman-that is,
the legal value established by the courtsl
OF course when you are in love you are
satisfied that the value of a certain par
ticular woman is away up in the millions
or billions, but learned judge, if the
case could be submitted to him, might
not place 50 high a valuation on her. He
has nothing TO do with sentiment and
neither has this article. When young
man asks a young woman to be "his'n"
he doesn't consider her from a financial
point of view. He may give some thought
to her fathers wealth or her dowry, but
he doesn't figure on the financial value of
the woman herself If he did and looked
up the court records a little he'd gasp at
the very thought of asking for so much
wealth. In the slave marts of the old world
in ancient times beautiful women have
brought large sums, but they didn't begin
to be as valuable as some of their sisters
of the present day, when taken piece
meal, have been adjudged by courts of
record. An arm alone has been valued at
81 $50, wrist at 81 900, hand at $4,000,
a leg al s., 900. just compare those with
the prices paid in the slave marts and
with the even lower prices for which
women have been sold outside of the open
markets An Englishman shortly before
1900 sold his wife, with a child and some
furniture thrown in, for II shillings, and
butcher in Hereford in 1902 sold his wife
at auction for 81 0s 4d and a bowl of
punch. 1t is impossible to learn exactly
what he valued the clothes she wore at,
but there is an intimation in the account
of the sale that he considered them worth
81 0s 4d, and let her go for the bowl of
punch.

named and dozen others rent
houses. 10 Justice, upon the advice
Of the Prose- 9ting Attorney, refused to
accept Mr.. Hmblen as bondsman, where
upon an application was made to Judge
Jordan for a writ of hdbeas corpus. All
the parties gathered in the Court room
about two O'Clock, except Prosecuting
Attorney Howard, who was detained by
business aud could not be present,
while in the jail, some forty or fifty
women were gath cred, either not hav-
ing found bondsme n, or having found
them, had returned to be present at the
hearings, originally set for two o'clock.
When the matter was called up, Capt.
Doyener remarked that he saw the
Prosecuting Attorney was complainant
ppon the warrants.
The Court suppose, If he had a
knowledge Of violations Of law, he had
a right TO make the complaints.
Capt. Dovener-Of course, and I only
wonder why DO didn't 90 before the
grand jury,a few days ago, and make his
complaints. understand he is also a
sort OF legal advisor of the Court below
want 10 ventiate this whole thing,
and see II there is one sort of law for
one class in this country, and another
sort for another. These people have
rendered bondsman in the person OF
Mr.. Emblem, who is entirely sufficient,
but he was refused yet others can come
along and deposit 5000 and walk out
free.
After some further discussion In this
line, the Court said the commitments
didn't specify when or before whom the
examinations were TO take place, and
the papers were defective to that ex-
tent. Some time and place ought to be
shown. "Of course, l wouldn't dis
charge The defendants on that ground,
for tha. could be corrected, but-ad-
dresSins Justice Arkle-I understand
you have refused bail. You have fixed the
bond a $500, but have not taken bail,
but have demanded $500. / am clearly
OF the opinion that there is no la6 for
the taking Of cash deposit. The law
is plal upon the subject Of a recogni-
zance With security, and they have a
right 70 be admitted to bail. When
you d. a time for the examination, l
shall direct that the defendants be ad-
mittei TO bail.
justice Ankle said he had fixed upon
two o'clock Monday afternoon as the

ONE HUNDRED ARRESTS.
Prisoners Brought to Jail Up TO Nearly
Daylight Yesterday Morning,

Prisoners Brought TO Jail Up 10 Nearly
Daylight Yesterday Morning,
The raids upon the houses OF III
fame, instituted at a comparative
" early hour Friday night by Justice
Arkle, continued until almost daylight
yesterday morning, and when the last
warrant had been executed nearly every
disorderly house In the city had been
visited, and nearly one hundred prison
ers-all, with two or three exceptions,
women-had been made.
Between the hours Of two a. m. and
daylight there was great scurrying
around town for bondsmen FOR the wo-
men, and the madames Of the most pre-
tentiOus houses were soon at liberty
with their girls, and back In their domi-
Giles, young men about town furnishing
the necessary collateral for the appear
ance of the prisoners they were inter-
ested In whenever they should be
wanted. The girls and women thus
fortunately situated, gave themselves
very little concern about the raid,
knowing that the ultimate cost OF the
affair would come out OF other pockets
than their own, and as rule they
made light of the whole proceeding,
frisked around the street after their
release, kicked up their heels, aud
otherwise showed their Indifference
Women in charge Of or dOmi-
ciled IN the second and third
rate houses were not so
fortunate, by any means, and IL was
only here and there that security was
found and 4 release effected. One
madame gave her individual check for
two hundred aud fifty dollars, and
few found friends willing TO assume the
responsibility, but the majority OF the
women remained prisoners, and as late
as noon yesterday there were between
forty and fifty women still in the Jail,
looking a good deal the worse for wear,
and industriously bemoaning their hard
fate.
The inmates OF some Of the houses had
received pointer during Friday after
noon and early in the evening that
trouble was brewing, and a number OF
hack loads OF women took little trip
over 10 a Belmont county resort, where
they spent Friday night and yesterday
IN drinking and congratulating them
selves upon their luck. Tbs reason no
men were captured is also ascribed to
the fact that the knowing ones were on
their guard, the word having been in
circulation for two or three days that a
raid was in contemplation, although
how IL leaked out is unknown TO the Of
icers who had charge Of the matter.
It had been arranged that the prison
ers were TO be arraigned before the JUS
tlce yesterday afternoon at two o'clock,
at the jail, and as that hour approached
sundry hack loads OF women were dis
charged az the Fifteenth street bsStile,
where quite a crowd of people had con-
gregated. The expected hearings did
not come of, however, as the hdbeGS
corpus proceedings instituted before
Judge Jordan, in the Criminal Court,
took up the entire afternoon, aud forced
the examinations over until Monday az
ternoOn. Carrie Palmer, Georgia Frank,
and one or two others did give bond for
their appearance before the Court pro-
ceedings began, but aside from that,
matters remained in StdtU quo as to the
great majority OF the defendants.

plicatIon for writs Of hGbeG corpus in
the cases of something like half dozen
Of the keepers Of disorderly houses,
who had been raided during the pre-
vious night on warrants sworn out be-
fore Justice Ankle.
The applications were asked for be-
cause the Justice, with the advice and
consent Of the Prosecuting Attorney,
had refused to accept William T. En-
blen as surety for the appearance OF
the madames on Monday afternoon, for
q preliminary examination.
Before the proceedings thus tnstl-
tuted had been closed up, no less than
thirteen prOprietresses Of houses had
come or been brought into the proceed
ing, and there had been a tilt between
Prosecuting Attorney Howard on one
side and Capt. DOvener on the other,
which was always interesting aud at
times exciting, and which brought out,
as IL proceeded, the inside history OF
the whole affair. Quite large audi
ence was present in the Court room
during the afternoon, and the greatest
interest was manifested in what trans
plred.
