A curious light is thrown on the stand
ards of living in this country half a
century ago by the records in the case
of Burr VS.. Burr. The couple were mar
r;ed in, 1900, and forty years later the
wife decided that she could no longer
stand her husbands miserly habits and
brought suit for separation and mainte-
brought as dowry $1,000, which COM
pounding annually would have amount
ed to 100000 or $4,000. and that the
husband was worth 81 ,OOO.0OO-a great
fortune for those days. The vice-chan-
cellor granted the suit and allowed the
wife $4,000 q year for the rest of her
days. But the husband demurred, and
though the judgment was confirmed
there were dissenting opinions. Judge
Lott said, in his dissenting opinion: Il
fully concur with the chancellor that if
ever case called for an extraordinary
allowance this is one But $4,000 a
year overwhelmed him; and, i'll discussing
it, he said further: IF commission
in the nature of lunacy against Burr
had issued, and the fact shown that he
was spending $4,000 a year. l believe
it would have been considered sufficient
proof of his incompetency, and of the
waste and destruction of his property,
to have justified the appointment of a
committee to take charge of the proper

ST 100000. with a probable income of
from $4,000 to 100000 Judge Bockes
concurred fully as to the separation, but
when he came to the amount for main
tenance and support. he scared and
roared: Looking upon this woman as
a respectable and reasonable one, there
is no condition or state OF the human
mind short of insanity, which can adj
nit of the belief that she will or can de-
