There is no other valor in the world that
even stands comparison with that displayed
by the woman called upon to protect her
children from violence. There Is no weapon
that woman will not WELD and no danger
that she will not dare. Itis before and after
their birth that too many women fail to
protect their children from the greatest Of
all dangers, the most blighting of all inher-
itances-feeble and sickly bodies.
The woman who properly prepares for the
greatest event of her life, motherhood -
who takes the right care of herself during
the expectant period, and sees that she Is
free from all weakness and disease of the
organs distinctly feminine, and may be

quaictances Of the late DR.. Thomas w

his estate was so valuable as has beel
supposed. A frienl OF the doctor sail

1t is known that DR.. Evans held great
deal OF real estate in Paris. For instance.
there is house formerly occupied by hin,
at the corner OF the Avenue Bois de BOn

that this property was worth 2O.0O0.0OU

The Court Orders 1t Set Aside.
Will Sue Again.

Will Sue Again.
New York, Dec. 2.-Jutice Smith, In
the supreme court, BROOKLYN, yesterday,
set aside the judgment for $4,000
awarded 70 Mrs. Florence Van Setback, of
Bath Beach, against Peter Van Schack, a
wealthy wholesale druggist of Chicago.
The judgment was given to Mrs. Van
Schackonthe ground that her father -in-law.
Peter Van Setback, had aiienated the af-
fections of her husband, John c. Van
Setback. No defense was made at the
time by Van Setback, senior, and there
upon Mrs. Van Setback went to Chica 70
to collect the money. In the meantime
action was begun by the father In law to
have the judgment set aside, alleging that
the jury had acted without Jurisdiction.
The case came up for argument yesterday
morning, and resulted in Justice Smith
dismissing the case. Mrs. Van Setback,
however, declares that she has not given
up her intention to sue her father -in-iaw,
and with this object in view will renew
her suit in Illinois. She says she win
return tp Chicago at once and begin pro-
ceedings.
When reter Van Setback, the wealthy
wholesale druggist, Ieared that the
Judgment obtained against him in
Brooklyn by his daughter-in-law, Floss
Palmer Van Setback. for the alleged alien
alton of her husbands affections had !een
set aside, he said:
''It was only what expected, and " Ill
practically end the case. She may bring
suits here, bnt do not care II she does.
