the defendant the suit OF Marian Davey. a
dressmaker, Of 81 East Forty first street. to re-
cover fram Apheus Hyatt. Jr. $40. the al
leged.v value OF dresses supplied to Clara @.
Hyatt his wife According TO tho testimony
In the case. which was heard on July II. Mrs.
Hyatt received a white liberty satin gown. a
let Rarnlture gown and n cream lace waist last
January. when she and h0r husband were lv-
ing at the San Reno Hotel. Her husband
twice accomp panied her whom she went to the
dressmaker's to fit on the garments.
The theory OF the plaintiffs action" JUS
tics joseph said in his decison'ls that these
iresses we're nscessarles for tho wife and suit
able for her sphere in lie aud that the dsfen-
dant. as her husband. is liable for their value.
That the articles were necessaries and suit
able is not disputed, but tho defendant con-
tends that they were contracted for by the
wife In her own right and not as his agent.
and furnished upon her own credit, and not
upon his,
1T is the hus ',ands duty to furnish his
wife with the necessnries suitable to her sta
ton In lie, and il he neglects this duty
II adesman furnishing such necessaries may
lookto the husband for rnymsnt. But under
the lay al it now stands "A married woman has
the fullest power in respect TO making. con-
tracts, and IA contract made by married wo
erty. She may bind herself to paw for nencs-
sariSs for the family and Tor the board OF her
self and husband. The evidence here eads to
the conclusion that the wife purchased in her
no doubt in my mind that she Is Individually
liable for this claim

WAsHISGToN. July 2S.-The Government is
satisfied that the Spanish authorities will ar
range for the release Of the Spanish prisoners
in the custody of the Philippine insurgents
through the payment Of a ransom. perhaps as
much as 81. 100000. the amount demanded by
Agunaldo. The United States will not offer
anv objection to the payment Of u large sum Of
monev to the insurgents. despite the advan-
tage which its possession will give This
Government Ia pledged to do everything In its
power to assist Spain In securing the release
lines. and il intends to adhere to the pledge.
II is believed here that the money will be of no
advantage to Aguinaldo on account of the
practical stoppagc OF traffic between the Philip
pines and the outside world. and. in fact. may
prove detriment to the insurgents through
quarrels among their leaders as to its division
