An omnibus drawn by two powerful
horses was conveying home a party
that had been 10 an evening entertain
ment. All at once the vehicle began
70 roll on at fearful speed and to sway
from side to side as though it was
about to be dashed to pieces. The
marty inside looked out through win
dow in front and saw that the coach
man had beer thrown from bis seat
that the horses were running away and
the reins which had controlled them
were dragging upon the ground. They
were bound to be dragged and dashed
to death, it seemed. There was man
inside. but he could not do anything.
| All the women began to screech like
idiots-all but one, that is. She was
Miss Railey. Kentucky blue grass
! girl. who had been accustomed TO
| horses all her life and feared nothing
equine. She crawled through the Win
dow of the omnibus in front, braced
herself against the fOOtboard, leaned
far out over the horses at the risk OF
her life and caught one of the trailing
lines. This she pulled on with all the
power of young blue grass muscle and
drew the horses up short against a
bank, saving all the peoples lives.
Then the women who had screeched
and frightened the mad horses still
more crawled out in safety.

Robert Grant promulgated the theory
that all the old type Of women who liv-
ed in their affections were liars, that
they would falsify any time to save
those they loved and consider it viz
tuous credit to them. He did not be-
lieve the new woman would go so far
as this. but he thought even she could
not resist the temptation to smuggle
and think it no harm. He says: Even
today, when woman is the cynosure or
an attentive world. it is well recogniz-
ed that five ont of pix of our wives and
sisters would take a false oath, II
tempted. in order to escape the pay
ment of custom house duties on SNUG
gled fineries." 10 you suppose this is
true?

A lawsuit which is one Of the most
important to women that have ever been
on in Connecticut is now pending in
the courts of that state. Nearly a gen
Grafton ago Connecticut passed mar
ried woman's property act giving u
wives all real or personal estate inher-
tied by them after marriage. Up 70
that time a wife's Inheritance belonged
by law to her husband. a law giving
q wife her own would have disturbed
the existing status of vested rights IL
it had applied to wires whose nus
bands had taken possession Of their
property previous to the passing OF TINS
act. In order. therefore, not to disturb
vested rights the new law stipulated
that its provisions should apply only to
women married after 1877. Three or
four years ago, full 20 after the pas
SAGE of the married wOman's property
act. wife inherited sCTle money. The
property had not been hers or IN conse-'
ouencc her husbands at the time OF
the passage of the law. There was no
reason at that time to believe II ever
would be hers. Undoubtedly by right
! It was hers absolutely. But she had
: been married previous to 1877, hence
under the law there seemed a reasona-
BILE claim that her husband could put
forth to the inheritance. It brought a
new question up in the courts, ques-
ton of Interpretation of the law as be-
tween equity and legal technicaiity,
and that Is the point now being argued
In the Connecticut courts. The suit u
more interesting from the fact that the
plaintiff. who is the wife suing for her
own Inheritance, has employed women
lawyers to defend her case, thus pre-
senting a unique situation. which only
a woman judge is wanting to make
complete. The leading attorney for the
plaintiff is Miss S. C. O'Neill of Water
bury. who is a member of her father
law firm. Her associate counsel Is MISS
Isabella Mary Pettus, lecturer In the
women's law class of the University oil
New York.

report differed from each of the others
