CIVIL DEATH.
Question That May Come Up In th,
Gaze of Life Prisoners.

A Question That May Come Up In the
Gaze of Life Prisoners.
The fact that in this city woman who
was married a few years ago recently con-
tracted a second legal marriage though
the first husband was alive and the ties Of
matrimony had not been severed by ju-
dicial decree Of divorce called public atten-
ton to a not generally known popularity
of the law.
The statutes of New York provide that
the penalty of life Imprisonment shall in
volve civil death for the felon sentenced to
it, This means that he shall be deprived
Of his civil rights, particularly property
rights and the rights resulting from fam
lily relations, as II he were actually dead.
Civil death takes from the person upon
whom this punishment has been inflicted
all that he owned and transfers it to those
who would have received it if he had died
before his conviction. 1t affects his con-
tract rights in the same manner as physical
death. He cannot, in this legal condition,
become an heir or obtain property by be-
quest The law deprives him Of the legal
rights of parent. If he has wife, she
may consider her marriage legally dis
solved, rs If he were dead and contract
another marriage.
law, and this term, according to Black
stone, was applied to certain legal condi-
tions in England. 1t is also known to the
French law and to the statutes of a num-
Der of our states. But there are some
doubts about the exact scope and legal Of
,fects of the penalty. A life convict may be
pardoned. That would certainly not dis
turb or in any way affect property rights
or new marriage relations that had been
established as a consequence of the civil
death. But could not the wife of a par
doned life convict, in case she had not con-
tracted another marriage, claim the legal
rights connected with the marriage rela.
tion9 1t is believed that this question
must be answered in the affirmative, and
it would therefore appear that the ex-con-
Wet, though he was civilly dead during the
term of his imprisonment, is still bound
by his former relations if he has not been
released therefrom by an act not of his
own doing.
ltwould seem that the law in a case like
the one to which reference was made ought
to require judicial dissolution of the for
mer marriage before it authorizes the wife
or the husband of a person sentenced to
life Imprisonment to contract new mar
riage. Buffalo Courier

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and /
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have complete stock of everything In
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs In chandeliers.

The Company known through
out the world as the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale Of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and it's products. The
great value of the remedy as a medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, as they ar,
pleasant TO the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneficially.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.
