A DECISION handed down by the
state supreme court in regard to the
rights Of married women is OF con-
siderable interest. The court rules
that under the law of 1894, section
$500, that woman married main
tains the same legal personality as
before she was married, and is en-
titled to the same protection for all
her rights us woman that her hus-
band receives as man; that all prop
erty she owns at the time of her mar
riage shall remain the same after
marriage as before. More than that
the decision holds that the wife has a
right TO sue her husband both in
courts of law and those Of equity to
maintain her rights, just the same as
though her husband was a stranger
and she was not married.

How Unused Railway Tickets May BE Re-

How Unused Railway Tickets May BE Re-
deemed at Slight Cost.
Some men with valuable unused rail-
way tickets on their hands sell them to
scalpers, while others go to the railway
company that issued them and obtain
their value in money, Most men, how
ever, do neither, and accept the loss
when the ticket is worth less than dol
lar. Indeed, many men do not realize
that railway companies stand ready to
redeem unused tickets even of small
value, SO that the companies must be
richer by many thousands of dollars
per year by reason Of this neglect or ig-
nOrance.
Every railway ticket bears the name
Of the general passenger agent of the
road issuing the same 1t is simple
matter to inclose the ticket with let
ter directed to the general passenger
agent asking him to refund the money
paid and explaining the reason why
the ticket is left unused in the hands Of
the purchaser. It is courteous to inclose
a stamped envelope in which the money
may be returned.
When all these things have been done
the company usually acknowledges the
receipt of the ticket holders commune
cation and promises to investigate the
matter. The investigation consists in
the proper Identification Of the ticket
and a little bookkeeping to set all right
in the accounts. Then the purchaser re-
ceives from the company check for the
amount due, along with a letter request
ing acknowledgment on the part OF the
recipient. That closes the transaction
and there is no material loss on eithe.
