MUST PAY PRE-NUPTIAL DEBTS.
Arkansas Supreme Court Decides a
Husband Responsible for Wife's
Debts Made Before Marriage.

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 31.-The supreme
court yesterday in the case of j. Hs Keis and
wife against F. ]. Young. on appeal from
this city. decided that husband is respon-
sible for the debts of the wife contracted
before marriage. Chief Justice Bum dis
sented from the opinion Of the other four
judges. The majority Of the court, in a
lengthy opinion, said:
'The Only question presented in this case
is whether a husband is liable for the ante
nuptial debts of his wife. The question as
to whether our married womans statute by
implication repeals the common law rule of
liability of the husband for her ante-nup-
tial debts has never before been passed OIL
by this court directly. AS this rule was rec
ognized in this state before the passage of
said act and the legislature did not by eX-
press words or clear implication repeal the
same. the presumption is that the rule of
the law still remains. and our conclusions

TAKES A PICTURE OF A METEOR.
Harvard observatory Succeeds After
Long Effort in PhOtOgraphinE
MeteOHic Spectrum.

Cambridge. Mass, Oct. I.-For several
years the Harvard observatory has been
engaged in photographing. both in Cam
bridge and Peru. the spectra of all stars
above the eighth magnitude. Professor
Pickering hoped when this work was un-
dertaken that meteor would some time
cross the field of one Of the Photographic
prisms while taking the spectrH, but this
did not occur until recently.
The observatory now possesses an excel
lent photograph of a meteoric spectrum,
the first that is kEown to have been OBJ
tained. The photograph Is of considerable
Importance, for although the composition
of the meteorites that have fallen to the
earth is we'll KNOWN this spectrum will de-
termine the condition of shooting stars and
meteorites before the great heat engenderel
in passing through :he atmosphere has had
time to consume the more fusihle compon-
ents.
The deductions from this meteoric spec
trum will be announced in full in the next
bulletin of the observatory.
