LAW COURT DECISION.

The law court has handed down the
following decisions:
Peaks VS.. Mayhem. Rescript by White

1t is well settled and elementary prin-
c1ple in the law of domestic relations.
that a wife who wilfully deserts her hus-
Damd pan without his fault and against his
VIII, forfeits all right to have her sup
port from him and carries with her no
authority to pledge his credit even for ar
ticies which might be held accessories ii
she mad left for his fault. There is no
rule of law or principle of justice which
would raise presumption of agency in
faVor OF wife to enforce an obligation
on the part of her husband which for her
own fault has ceased to exist The bur
den is upon the plaintiff seeking to re-
cover for necessaries furnished to a wife,
who, with plaintiffs S knowledge. is Twin :
apart from her husband, to show that
they either lived apart by mutual consent
or that the separation was occasioned by
the fauit or misconduct of the husband
1he rule is as well sustained by reason
ana justice as by authority: for ii is man
ifest that the opposite doctrine would tend
70 break down the reasonable and salu-
tary restraints imposed by the solemn
IN large degree. the great moral and So
cial purposes which the conjugal union
was designed to subserve.
With respect to the liability of the hus
band no valid reason can be given for
distinguishing legal services from medical
attendance or from any other service or
matter of law from the class of necesst
ries; and whether not in q given case
Il wife living apart from her husband can
pledge his credit for legal services rem
dered in her behalf by one who knows of
the separation. must be determined as in
the case of other services or article;
clasSed as neceSsaries, not primarily by

the means of obtaining them have nor
been supplied by the husband but by ac-
certaining whether or not the wife will
fully deserted her husband and lived
apart from him without his fault and
| thus forfeited her right to pledge his
credit for neceSSaries
A wife who lives apart from her hus-
band by reason of her own adultery, ana
is under indictment for that offence, has
no authority to pledge her husband $
credit for the legal services of counsel
who knows of the separation, although he
is informed and believes that she is inno-
cent of that charge. In such a case the
liability of the husband is not to be de-
termined by the personal knowledge of
counsel respecting the guilt or Innocence,
OF the wife. BY her own fragrant breach
of her marriage vow and duty, she has
forfeited all right to pledge his credit for
neceSsaries of any kind.
The counsel's knowledge that she is liy-
ing apart from her husband and is under
indictment for adultery, is sufficient to
put him on inquiry to learn the cause OF
the separation and il he afterwards rem
derS services in her defence by her en-
ployment alone, he does so at his peril
and the husband will not be liable

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause. Generally Overlooked

Headache is a symptom, an indica-
ton of arrangement or disease in some
organ. and the cause of the headache
is difficult to locate because 50 many
diseases have headache as a prominent
symptom; arrangement of the stom-
ach and liver. heart trouble. kidney
disease. lung trouble, eye strain or i'll
fitting glasses all produce headaches
and if we could always locate the Or
gan which is at fault the cure of obsti-
nate headaches would be a much sim
pier matter.
However, for that form of heada che
called frontal headache. pain back of
the eyes and in forehead. the cause is
now known to be catarrh of the head
and throat when the headache is To-
Gated in back of head and neck it is
often caused from catarrh of the stom-
ach or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most COM
mon cause of such headaches and the
cure of the catarrh causes a prompt
disappearance of the headaches.
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. a new in
ternal remedy in tablet FORM COM

ton of the catarrhal poison from the

Miss Cora Ainsley, prominent
school teacher in one of our normal
schools. speaks of her experience with
catarrhal headaches and eulogizes Stu

SEPTEMBER 7 FOR FLORIDA DAY.
Military Companies and State Press VII
Probably BE Represented.

Military Companies and State Press VIII
Probably BE Represented.
The 7th of September has been off,
ciaily appointed by the authorities of the
Pan-American exposition as Florida day
at the exposition. This information
comes in a letter from T. NJ. Weir, special
commissioner for Florida, who is now in
Florida. Mr.. Weir states that this day
has been selected at the request of the
editors of Florida. 1t is further stated
that two Florida military companies and
one band, the latter from Pensacola,
have already signified an intention to be
at the exposition on that day, and there
is strong probability that other organi-
cations will go, so that the state will be
well represented.
The Florida Press association, at its
meeting in Miami last March, discussed
going to the exposition on its annual ex-
cursion, and it was decided then that the
month of September would be the most
suitable for the trip. President B. b.
Tatum, of the association, and Editor
Philip Isaacs, of the Fort Myers Press,
"cIc ICCcHlly III DuIIalO IN attendance
upon the National Editorial association,
and they were perhaps in conference
with the exposition authorities and the
Florida commissioners.
Ex-President ]. w. White of the Press
association said last night that active
preparations for the excursion were now
in progress, and that he had no doubt
that the trip would be arranged. "AbOut
fifty editors and members of their fami-
lies" said Mr.. White, care likely to 90.
There are usually as many as that on our
annual excursions, and / shOnld think
that the trip this year to Buffalo, with
the opportunity of seeing the great ex-
position, wonld be particularly delight
ful and enjoyable one"
No program for Florida day has yet
been announced, but it is altogether prob
able that one will be arranged. There
will doubtless be receptions, and perhaps
addresses and the usual ceremonies Incl
dent To such occasions.
