LUCY STONES MARRIAGE.
The Special Document Drawn Up
Defining Her Personal Rights.

The Special Document Drawn Up
Defining Her Personal Rights.
q one Democrat.
Here is the protest drawn joint
Iy by Lucy Stone and II. b. Black
we'll Just before their marriage:
"While acknowledging our mu-
tual affection by publicly assum-
ing the relationship of husband and
wife, yet in justice to ourselves and
a great principle, we deem it our
duty to declare that this act on our
part implies no sanction of nor
promise of voluntary obedience to
such of the present laws of mar
riage as refuse TO recognize the
wife as an Independent rational
being, while they confer upon the
husband an injurious and unnat-
ural superiority, investing him
with legal powers which no hon
OrOble man would exercise, and
which no man should possess. We
protest especially against the laws
which give to the husband:
Il. The custody of the wife's per-
son.
~. The exclusive control and
guardianship of their children.
90. The sole ownership of her
personal and use of her real estate,
unless previously settled upon her
or placed in the hands of trustees,
as in the case of minors, idiots and
lunatics.
Il. The absolute right to the pro-
duct Of her industry.
80. Also against laws which give
to the widOwer so much larger and
more permanent a interest in the
property of his deceased wife than
they give to the widow in that of
her deceased husband.
SO. Finally, against the whole
system by which the legal exist
ence of the wife is suspended dur
ing MARRIAGE so that, in most
states, she neither has a legal part
in the choice of her residence nor
can she make will, nor sue or be
sued in her own name, nor inherit
property.
ave believe that personal indie
pendence and equal human rights
can never be forfeited, except for
crime; that marriage should be an
equal and permanent partnership,
and so recognized by law; that un-
til it is so recognized married part
ners should provide against the
radical injustice Of present laws by
every means in their power.
ave believe that where domestic
difficulties arise no appeal should
be made to legal tribunals under
existing laws, but that all difficult
ties should be submitted to the
equitable adjustment of arbitrat-
ors mutually chosen.
THUS, reverencing law, we enter
our protest against rules and Gus
toms, which are unworthy of the
name, since they violate Justice.

The monument which has been
erected upon the battle field of Sol
ferino is one of the largest, if not
the largest, of its kind in all Eu-
rope. 1t consists of a tower seven
ty-four meters high, surmOunted
by an electric lamp, and rises in
seven stories, each representing a
campaign in the struggle for indie
pendence of Italy. Each separate
story contains all the names of the
generals and other officers as well as
the men who fought in that
campaign. No fewer than 100000
names are thus inscribed on the
inner walls of the monument. On
the ground floor are the busts and
portraits of all the leading gener-
ais, and the chief ornament in the
center Of the ground floor is the
colossal monument in bronze of
Victor Emmanuel by the Venetian
sculptor Dial lotto ;the tower stands
in grounds beautifully laid out,
and constitutes a magnificent
memorial of Italian unity. Beneath
the structures repOse 2OOO skulls
aud other remains of soldiers of
the three nations who fell on the

Galen r. Edison, a veritable rep
resentative of YankeedOm, who is
also one of the best known travel
ing men, was one of the guests
who narrowly escaped from the
burning hotel in Toledo last week.
Mr.. Edison is in the city. He says
that When aroused from sleep he
found his retreat cut off. He tied
several sheets together and was
about to lower himself from the
third-stOry window, when the fire
chief told him that if he attempted
to come down in that condition the
hose would be turned on him.
Mr.. Edison, who weighs over 200
pounds and is of average height,
took hasty inventory of his
clothing, which he had donned in
haste. First he threw his valise
and umbrella from the window.
His silk hat was cooked on the
back Of his head. He wore no trous-
ers, that garment being about his
neck, and his limbs were covered
by red flannel. He had on his light
OVercoat and wore his shoes in his
pockets. But he didn't care. De-
spite the threat of the chief he
backed down the long ladder thus
cOstumed while the crowd yelled
and cheered frantically, crying
