FORTY YEARS AGO.
Married Women of England Were
ChatteIs of Their Husbands.


AS late as forty years ago an Eng
lish married woman was. financially
speaking, the mere chattel of her hus-
band. She had not the right to con-
troll her own income, if she had one,
or even to enjoy her own earnings if
she earned anything. She might have
a worthless, drunken, brutal husband,
who. after i'll treating her for years,
might turn up again some evil morn
ing from Norway or Nicaragua or
Newgate and break up the home she
had formed for herself and her chill
dren during his absence. seize and
squander what money she had scraped
together. sell her furniture and then
abscond- again for an indefinite period.
If she had riches. her wealth could
not be secured to her without cumbrous
and costly legal settlements, while a
dissipated or heartless husband might
wrench from her every penny of in
terest accruing from her capital. There
was no cheap or expeditions law of
divorce which could free her from the
ma trimonial tie when her life had be-
come intolerab BILE through the cruelty
or infidelity of her husband. She had
first to go to the ecclesiastical courts
TO get a divorce from bed and board,
and next a private act of Parliament
had TO be procured before the con-
jugal shackles could be dissolved. To
get a divorce was like walking over
broken bottles-you bled at every step.
The cheapest divorce cost f1,000.-Bos-
ton Herald.

Slightly Mixed.

We would kindly point out to
the Montgomery Mail and Winn-
field Comrade that they make a
grand mistake when they confound
the cause and interests of the
tramps and Anarchists as being
identical with those of the honest
and industrious farmers and la
borers of the country. Right here
is a broad distinction that should
be made, if our friends do not want
to give offense to the farmers and
laborers, whose good graces they
are attempting to cultivate by heap
ing abuse on the Democratic party.

after consulting with friends he

BERLIN, Sept. GA member Of the
Chinese legation in an interview said that
China cannot dare to abandon Korea even
II the war should last 30 years. Besides,
ho added, tho Koreans arc still hostile to
the Japanese, as Is proved by their re-
fusal to conoede tho Japanese domand that
they cut of thor long hair as sign Of
submission.
The Japanese he further said, have
done everything to wound tho feeling of
tho Chinese. Directly after the Chinese
minister had left Tokyo as the outbreak of
the active hostilities the Japanese destroy
ed the Chinese legation and Buddhist tem-
Pile, besides setting firo 70 and destroying
Chinese olubhouses and residences and
numbering helpless Chinese in tho street.
Count Aoki Japanese minister % Cor
many, was also interviewed. lie secuted
the idea of any cessation Of hostilities. liz
natly denied that Chinese had been muir.
dercd or their property destroyed in To
kyo On the other hand, he said, the Chi
nose had insulted the Japanese minister
it Tien tsin and had massacred SO harm
less Japanese lahorers who were working
ia tho camphor fields Of Korea
1t was also untrue, he declared, that
the Japanese had demanded that the 10
roans cut their hair. The king and th'
people of Korea have been friendly Will
the Japanese since the battle near Asan.
In conclusion Count Aoki said chat thl
Japanese leaders would perhaps have
hard task to invade China, but they wer
determined to persevere
