This was an action for the foreclosure
OF Il mortgage executed To the plaintiif
by the defendant, J. c. Ray, in which
his wife and co-defendant Mary A.
Ray. did not join. Subsequently 10 it's
execution, Mary y. Ray executed to the
plalntiil similar mortgage upon her
dover interest in the same property
conveyed by the first mortgage and to
secure the same debt. In this mort
gage her husband did not join. The
defendants dcmurred to the complaint
upon the ground that it showed upon
its face the above facts. The lower
court sustained the demurrer as to
Mary y. Ray, and gave Judgment
against the other defendants and for
the foreclosure of the mortgage on the
land, discharging said Mary A. Ray.
The plaintiff appealed only from that
part of the judgment sustaining the
demurrer of Mary a. Ray The court
says:
This presents the sole question in the
caSe,-whethcr the mortgage of the
wife, executed by her alone, is sufficient
to convey or release her right of dover.
We think not. Section 6 of article 10 of
the Constitution is as follows: This
real and personal property of any fe-
male in this State may be de-
VIscI HHu DVuucathcd, and with ihc
written assent of her husband. con-
NcHeu pH ier as III she were unmarricd.'

every conveyance. power of attorney
or other instrument affecting the es
ta;c. right or title of any married wo,
man in lands. tenements or hereCitn-
menis, must be executed by such mar
RED woman ana her husband" Thle
clearly contcmplates that the same in
strument OF writing shall be executed

DEFYING HEALTH ORDERS.
A Father Resfsts the Removal of His
Pest-Ridden Child

Frankfort. KY. July 15.-The city au-
thorities have experienced considerable diff
ficulty in enforcing the orders of the State
board OF health in removing smallpox pa
tients from the city and vaccinating every
man. woman, and child, to prevent the
spread of the disease.
Councilman Thomas Critic, living near
the heart of the city. has for two days de-
fed the police to take his child to the pest
house. Critics child has been stricken
with smallpox for the past week, and had
reached such condition that Critic con-
sidered its removal to the pesthouse would
further endanger the life of the child. The
pesthouse wagon called at the Critic home
night before last after the child. Critic
refused to permit the child to be taken.
The driver shortly returned with several
police, who demanded the surrender Of the
child. Critic locked the doors and retired
to an upstairs room, where he opened a
window, and, with shotgun in hand. in
formed the police that who entered tis
house did so at his peril
The police did not enter and Critic thus
guarded his house until yesterday, when he
voluntarily surrendered, accompanying his
child In person to the pesthouse.
The evening times., 1899-07-15
The rran.vaal Dtmculty.

The world is full of reports and rumors
concerning the Transyaal situation, and
nothing seems certain except that indica-
tions point to early trouble of a serious
character. British ministers, of course,
say that there is little, If any, cause to
apprehend actual hostilities, but such talk
is not particularly convincing. In this
country we remember that, only a few
weeks before Dewey's victory at Cavite,
President Mckinley solemnly declared that
he would not be driven into IAN unholy
bers of his Administration, only few days
before the beginning of hostilities, vigor-
ously asserted that anything like war was
entirely out of the question.
All the time these optimistic views were
being aired our naval authorities were
working at the rate of about forty eight
hours day, seeking to get ready for the
inevitable. Conditions are much the same
over the water. While Mr.. Balfour in the
House OF Commons scouts the idea of war,
save as remote possibility, the British
dockyerds and arsenals are busy night and
day under hurry orders; troops and artil-
iery are being rushed to the Cape and .Iatal
from England and India. and if these prep
arations mean only acquiescence in tie
Dosr programme of plainly insincere con-
cessions 10 the Uitlanders and everlasting
peace they are not calculated to convey
such al Impression
They would seem rather to mean that
the time has arrived to remove the OBJ
stacles of uncivilized rapacity, oppression,
and fanaticism from the path of human
progress in South Africa. Possibly the
clash of arms may be temporarily post
poned, but it is hard to believe that Great
Britain, after going to the expense and
trouble of assembling the necessary forces
and means on the ground, will not seize
the opportunity to dispose of the Boer
business out of hand and be done with it.
