sADDLER v. ALEXANDER.

Court of Appeals of Kentucky.
April 26, 1900.
LOT OWNER, BY MAI,ICIorJsI.y
DIRECTING ON HIS LOT A HIGH
FENCE. DOES NOT GIVE A
RIGHT OF ACTION TO AN AID
JOINING LOT OWNER, WHOSE
VIEW, LIGHT AND AIR WAS
THEREBY CUT OFF.
This was an action to recover dam
ases ior injury to property. PLAINTIFF
anu defendant owned adjoining lots
IN the city OF Franklin. Defendant
,iiililclousIy and spiterully erected a
illeh fence all along the line between
. nc .Wo lois. thereby cutting off the
pi'iintiiI view and light and air from
ms premises. From a Judgment for
defendant the plaintiff appealed.
The court says:
II was adjudged in Ray v. Sweeney
that the doctrine of the English COM
mon law In respect to ancient lights
ma mas never been in fore in this State
M ne mere iact that one proprietor of
iahd may have enjoyed light and air
moving INTO his house over the land
OIL ms neighbor does not prevent that
helghDor from erecting a building up
on his own lot, Notwithstanding it may
interfere with the light and air which
the other previously enjoyed. AL
though the appellee was Influenced by
malice and desire to inconvenience the
appellant in the erection of the fence
still her right to erect it existed and
was not lost by reason of her malice.
Appellee could have erected house
on her own premises which would
have interfered with the window in
the house of the appellant, and still
no cause of action would have resulted
therelrom. The obstruction of the
window might interfere with the light
ana air which would have flowed into
II except for the building. or it might
nave INSTRUCTED the view from the
window; still that would not have
created a cause of action in favor of
the appellant. This being true, it fol-
lows that. If the appcllee's fence did
interfere with the appellants view, no
cause of action resulted. The appel
liant did not acquire right to the
light and air coming literally over the
premises of the appellee.

BRYAN TO SPEAK IN NEW YORK.
Gold Democrats Hope to Have Him
Modify His Views.

NEW YORK, January 13.-In connection
with the approaching visit of w. ]. Bryan
to New York the Evening Post today says:
1T was learned today that great effort
will be made to induce MIR. Bryan to speak
while here on the lines indicated in recent
interviews by Eliot Danforth, chairman of
the democratic state executive committee
that is to treat Imperialism and trusts as
the main issues Of the campaign, and avoid
giving undue prominence to the 16 to l
issue. Mr.. Bryan has made several speeches
already on these lines. and it Is believed
that he can be induced to leave free silver
in the background while he is in what Is
called the enemy's country
THE dinner to be given to Mr.. Bryan by
o. H. z. Belmont on January % will be a
sort of preliminary. Many of the party
leaders of the state as well as representa-
tives of the Chicago platform democrats
will sit at Mr.. Belmonts tables, and 1t is
said attempt will be made to bring both
wings of the party together in order that
a harmonious delegation can be sent to the
national convention. Mr.. Bryan has given
many indications lately that he desires har-
mony in New York state. He has curbed
the enthusiasm of his silver followers here
and has shown a disposition to court the
favor of Tammany. He has also been in
close communication with Eliot Danforth,
who has taken on himself the task of har-
monizinS the party so that Bryan will get
New iork'S electoral votes"

ST. PETERSBURG, January 13-The
czar has addressed a rescript to Count

pointed guardian of the most important

necessities of Russia as maritime power
and will create in the Pacific a new center
for the commercial and Industrial enter
prises Of the entire world. The neRotia
tions subsequently undertaken under INV
direction with the British and Japanese
governments led to the conclusion of par
tial understandings which, by removing
reasons for misunderstanding in the poli-
tical domain, enable Russia to devote her
strength to the progressive development of
the prosperity Of her possessions in the far

AMERICAN WOMEN IN FRANCE.
status of Wives Under the French Law
Described by Ambassador Porter.

Se"eus VI Wives In0er the French Law
described by Ambassador Porter.
According to a dispatch to the State De-
partment from Ambassador Porter, at
Parfs, American women who have become
the wives Of Frenchmen and subsequently
have been deserted, have a peculiar status
before the law of France.
The French law Of marriage provides that
marriages contracted by French citizens in
foreign countries are valid If celebrated
according to the forms habitual in those
countries, provided they conform to the re-
qurements of the French code with re-
spect to age, prior marriage, kinship, pa
rental consent and consent of the parties
II, however, these formalities have been
dlSregarded the deserted wife still can
claim recognition if she was twenty-five
years of age and her husband twenty-five
at the time of the marriage, and if there
was no manifest intention to evade the pro-
visions OF the French law. Under these
conditions the alliance would be known by
the courts as a putative marriage, the ef-
feet Of which would be, Notwithstanding
the invalidity Of the marriage, to give the
Wlte the status OF a legally married woman
and the children the right to bear the name
Of the father. They could also inherit the
fathers estate. The French law would
further give the putative wife the right Of
alimony. and would enable her to enforce
such claim, not only against her husband,
but in the event of his inability, against
his relatives.
An American wife of French husband
properly protected by the law of France,
and the husband is released from none of
his obligations. If he should, under the
circumstances, remarry in France he would
be liable to sentence for bigamy in the
courts Of his own land, If 1t could but be
shown he was over twenty-five years of
age at the time of his first marriage and
had entered into that contract in good
faith.
