A SUDDEN CHANGE.
The Old Farmer Didn't Have to Re
sort to Extreme Measures.

There was an old white horse hitch
cd to Il loaded wagon standing on Mon
roe avenue yesterday, and the owner
of the rig was down on the ground
with the lines in one hand and Il whip
in the other, says the Detroit Free
Press
NO wonder he baked with that big
load on" said pedestrian, as he
came to a sudden halt.
Hes tired out, and that's what's
the matter" added Il boy with some
laundry work under his arm.
"The man ought to be arrested"
said IL stylish looking woman, who
had paused to look commiseratinely
ut the horse.
In two minutes 20 people had stop
ped. In three minutes the crowd num-
bercd half q hundred.
"Baste him with the whip"
Light fire under hun"
Take him out of the thills and walk
him around Il circle three times!'
Don't he know enough to blindfold
the old nag and blow In his ear?'
The crowd said a great many other
pleasant things, but none Of them
seemed to have any effect on the
driver He raised the whip two or
three times and lowered it again. He
also inspected the lines and the tugs
and looked hard at the bellyband.
and by, when the crowd numbered
about eighty and policeman was seen
coming down the avenue he climbed
up on the seat, uttered gentle git
upr' and the old horse walked off
ming down hill The man had played
the crowd, and there We're no brickbats
to heaye at him.

,reayed husband at the funeral

bereaved husband at the funeral.
While acknowledging our mutual
affection by publicly assuming the
relationship of husband and VITO. yet
in justice to ourselves and a great
principle we deem it our duty to de-
clare that this act on our part implies
no sanction of nor promise of yolun-
tary to such Of the present laws of
marriage as refuse to recognize the
wife as an independent, rational being,
while they confer upon the husband
an Injurious and unnatural superiority,
investing him with legal powers which
which no man should possess. We pro-
test especially against the laws which
give the husband:
1. The custody of the wife's person.
2. 1.-The exclusive control and guar
dianship of their children.
g. 'The sole ownership of her per-
sonal and use Of her real estate, unless
previously settled upon her or placed
in the hand of trustees, as in the case
of minors, idiots and lunatics.
4. THE absolute right to the product
of her industry.
5. also against laws which give to
, the widower SO much larger and more
permanent an interest in the property
of his deceased wife than they give
to the widow in that of her deceased
husband.
g. Finally, against the whole sys-
tenn by which the legal existence of
the wife is suspended during marriage,
SO that, in most states, she neither has
a legal part in the choice of her resi-
dence, nor can she make a will, nor
sue or be sued in her own name, nor
inherit property.
We believe that personal independ-
ence and equal human rights can never
be forfeited, except for crime; that
marriage should be an equal and per-
manent partnership, and so recognized
by law; that until it is so recognized,
married partners should provide
against the radical injustice of present
laws by every means in their power.
5. I'VE believe that where domestic
made to legal tribunals under existing
laws, but that all difficulties should
be submitted to the equitable adjust
ment of arbitrators mutually chosen.
=, Thus, reverencing law, we enter ON
protest against rules and customs
which are unworthy of the name, since
they violate justice, the essence OF
law"

Lucy Stone.

MARRIAGE PROTEST.
Agreement Made by Lucy Stone and
Her Amiable Husband

Among the events of note in the life
Of Lucy Stone, not the least memorable
was her marriage, and the protest
against the existing marriage laws,
which was drawn up and signed by
her and her husband. The ceremony
was performed by Col Higginson, of
Cambridge, then Rev. Thomas Went
worth Higginson, of Worcester.
The protest was published in the
Worcester Spy and the Boston Travel
Ter, that the world of 1856 might know
the stand that had been taken. The
following is Mr.. Higginson's letter TO
the Spy:
1t was my privilege to celebrate
May day by officiating at wedding in
a farmhouse among the hills of West
Brookfeld. The bridegroom was a man
of tried worth, a leader in the western
is one whose fair name is known
throughout the nation; one whose rare
intellectual qualities are excelled by
the private beauty of her heart and
life
4 never perform the marriage cere-
mony without a renewed sense of the
iniquity of our present system of laws
in respect to marriage: a system by
which man and wife are one, and that
one is the husband 1t was with my
hearty concurrence, therefore, that the
following protest was read and signed,
as part of the nuptial ceremony; and
I send it to you. that others may be
induced to do likewise"
Here is the protest as drawn jointly
by Lucy Stone and h B. Blackwell,
and subscribed to once more by the
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1893-12-15
THEIR WEDDING JOURNEY.
A West Philadelphia Couples Adveu
ture With a Train Robber.

A newly married couple, who have
just come from the far southwest to
reside in West Philadelphia, had an
experience on their wedding tour,
which, though an exciting one at the
time, has caused both them and their
friends a great deal of merriment.
They had just been married and were
ushered on their journey an hour later.
The train was running along swiftly
and they We're recovering from the ex
element of the ordeal through which
they had just passed, when the train
stopped suddenly and the brakeman
came rushing through the train, pulling
down the blinds in a most unceremoni-
Gus manner. The groom began to get
q little apprehensiye, SO he told his
bride he was going to find out what
was the matter. He came back with
the news that the train was held up
by robbers. The brides face blanched.
involuntarily she looked at the wed
ding ring that had been placed on her
hand only an hour or so before. She
wondered if she begged real hard to
the train &c bbers whether they would
leave her at least that. She thought
exactly what she was going to say to
the bandit when he came for her valua-
ables. Then the conductor came i'll
and warned the passengers and people
to hide watches and pocketbooks and
jewels in every conceivable place.
suddenly the report of revolver, fol-
lowed by others in quick succession,
made all shiyer.
Get down between the seats"
hastily said the young husband to his
bride L wont run even the shadow
of a risk
0bedient to her new master she
crept down on the floor in security.
There's no danger at all, said the
man in the next seat, reassuringly.
Just then several more shots were
heard, and the speaker Topped down
between the seats. Ali the other reo-
pie in the car followed suit, and as
they were on all tours in GREATNESS
anxiety there came in sweet-tuned
voice, full of suppressed anxiety, Ed
gar, have you got a good safe place."
There was a smile even in the terrors
of the moment on the faces of many
Of the passengers. The train robbers
left without going through the passen-
ger cOaches.-Philadelph Press.

Pupils OF Public School Boycott Teach
er-Strlke Notes.
The strike OF street railway employees
has its amusing as well as It's serious
phases. Thursday is the day selected by
the music instructor in the public
schools TO teach the pupils Of Richie
school. The boys in the Eighth ward
learned that their teacher came down on
an electric motor, and the matter was
discussed in the school yard. When the
classes were called In the respective
rooms, the girls went through the exer-
cises, but the boys refused TO open their
mouths, explaining that they would not
sing for a teacher who patronized
"blacksheep" car. Even vigorous APP
plication of the strap in several cases
had no effect upon the youthful strike
sympathizers. A similar state OF affairs
was reported from the Webster school,
put could not be verified.
Several incidents which have become
unusual during the past two weeks oc-
Cured yesterday along the motor line.
In Benwood man threw brick at
conductor about ten O'Clock in the
morning, but it missed its mark and
struck the side OF the car. Last night
there was more stone throwing at
Forty-eighth street, but nobody was
hurt, and no damage done to the car
A milk wagon was struck by motor on
Jacob street below Thirty-sixth, and
several incidents OF a similar nature
were reported.
The most serious event OF the day oc-
CURED last night in Benwood. Pat Ma
honv, q special officer in the employ OF
the Company, was driving through that
town with blackboard, when he was
struck In the side Of the head with
piece of iron, cutting long and ugly
cash above the right ear. The identity
OF his assailant could not be discovered.
The work Of improving the road, and
equipment, continues without Interrupt
ton. The Forty-second street power
plant will be equipped and in operation
within thirty days. The summer cars
are being generally overhauled, re-
painted and repaired, and If the warm
weather continues, will be placed on the
road within few days. Manager Jolly
states that paling fence will be built
at the line OF the company's property
west OF the barn, and the intervening
space covered with sod.
