vice and brought it home will almost
certainly be elected captain. He was one
Of the best company commanders in the
Second Regiment, and had one OF the
best companies.
Company + will probably have as large
an enrolment as the Light Guard. and it
is likely that Captain Hardwick will be
chosen captain. or should he decline to
serve. First-Lieutenant Masurier will
probably be elected TO command. In the
First Regiment this company had the
distinction OF having made a percentage
Of 100 at inspection for three successive
years. and i'm the Third Regiment at
Camp Alger il took the first and third

a NEW QUESTION.
AN Married Woman Claim
Homestead Exemption

The case of in re Marion Richardson
bankrupt, now pending in the United
States District Court in this city. Is at
tracing the attention Of lawyers by rea-
son Of one or two novel questions in
vOved.
Mrs. Richardson Is n married woman.
Her husband IS still living. She schedules
her realty as worth $500 and her person.
atty as worth 500. She claims. however.
the benefit Of the homestead exemption
law. which permits her To retain 5000
worth Of property.
Her creditors contend that she cannot,
as q married woman. take advantage OF
the exemption allowed by law The sta
tute says such exemption may be claimed
by n householder. or head Of n family"
The courts have decided that the words
are synonymous. II IS argued that Mr..
Richardson. and not Mrs. Richardson. is
the head OF the family. and that she can
not receive the benefit OF the exemption
law.
Messrs. John \. Lamb and II. T. Lacy
represent Mrs. Richardson. and Messrs.
Isaac Digss and $. l.. Kelly the creditors.

This theory is borne out by the fact that
some branches Of the aXillary artery were
cut stopping the pulse for some time
after the wound was received. This also
caused the enusion OF blood under the

fure are normal to-day. Appetite IS re-

has signed the treaty OF peace between

treaty will be forwarded to the French
Ambassador, at Washington. NJ. jules

No decree OF the signing will be pub'

EXCHANGE OF RATIFICATIONS.
WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE first
news OF the signing Of the peace treaty
by the Queen Regent OF Spain, was con-
veyed TO Secretary Hay and the other
officials of the State Department through
the exclusive bulletin OF the Associated
Press. The Secretary was naturally grati-
fed at the action, which now makes It
possible 30 exchange the ratihcations,
and thus complete the treaty. within tho
time set by the treaty Itself as the maxi
mum.
Oficial news Of the action at Madrta
was not conveyed to the state Department
before the close Of the department for
the day
NJ Cambon called at the department.
about ten minutes TO o'clock. and in tho
absence OF Secretary Hay. called upon
notwithstanding Hill. lie told the lat
ter that he believed the treaty had been
signed.
CAMBON WILL COMPLETE PEACE
1t seems now probable that on the Am
bassador will be conferred the honor OF
closing up the task he set about seven
months ago-of bringing the two great
nations then at war TO a state OF peace.
Usually. the rule is for a nation situated
as is Spain to send a special envoy,
charged with the special duty CT ex-
changing the ratifications. In this case
the wish OF the United states Government
will be consulted. and there Is little doubt
In view of the kindly regard entertained
FOR the Ambassador by the President that
he will elect to have VI. Cambon act for
the last time as the representative of the
Spanish Government. and make the ex-
change. a good reason for accepting again
the Ambassadors Offices I'm this last func-
tion would be the saving OF time.
The signing OF the treaty cannot In
any manner affect the status Of tho
Spanish prisoners in the hands of Agui-
naldo for the United States Goyernment
IS doing all that 1t can TO secure their
release.

volve the immediate discharge OF all tho
volunteer soldiers IL was stated posi-
lively at the State Department that, lc-
gally, the treaty does not go Into effect
until the ratihcations have been ex-
changed. and 1t will further be ,neces-
sary for the President 70 proclaim it
before the people OF the United States,
including the soldiers. can know officially
that the war is over. In all other re-
specis. however. the State Department
will treat the war as at an end.

''See that man?" said the clerk of an
up town hotel to me this evening as
a handsome, middle aged man strolled
through the lobby. THAT is the presi-
dent of the - Life Insurance COM
pany. He married his stenographer
last spring. 1t was quite a romance.
He and the girl and his Office boy were
coming down in the elevator in the
insurance building one afternoon when
the StenOgrapher saw a mouse on the
boys shoulder. She threw her arms
around the presidents neck and
screamed to him to protect her. The
mouse covered in a corner until the
elevator reached the bottom floor and
then escaped, the girl holding the
president all the time. Well, he liked
the sensation of being Rugged by a
pretty girl so much that he married
her few weeks afterward."
"And what became Of the office
boy? l asked.
ooh, he has desk In the office at a
good salary now and is in line to be
president in due time" answered the
clerk carelessly.-New York Cor. Pitts

This has been necessitated by reason
Of pirates counterfeiting the Castoria

Marguerite Arlina Hamm, tn g we'll
known traveller and author, called
when in China upon the wife, or,
rather the wives, of great mandarin
Her visit partook of the nature of a
festival, so novel was the experience
to the Chinese women, whose lives
are passed almost entirely within the
walls of their yamen. They examined
her clothing, and were partly pleased
and partly astonished at it. They
were shocked by her shoes, and es-
pecially by the fact that her feet were
not confiued by bindings.
Finally one of them said, through
the interpreter: "You can walk and
run just as well as a mann"
"Why, certainly"
"Can you ride pony as well as a
