LOUISIANA the PARADISE FOR WIVES.

The Louisiana Supreme Court has
affirmed the constitutionality OF an
act passed by the legislature at its
last session which provides for the
punishment with Imprisonment at
hard labor Of men who desert their
wives or fail to support their wives
and children. A number Of arrests
were made shortly after the law
went into effect, but punishment OF
the culprits was suspended, as the
act was supposed to be unconstitu-
tional. The supreme courts de-
cision now settles the matter, and
in future the Louisiana man who
gets married must expect to bear
the consequences.
It is to he hoped that the law
will not have n tendency to dis
courage matrimuny, and there is
no likelihood TINT i. will 1t it
does, the ones who permit them
selves to be frightened away from
marriage by it will be better single
anyway. Louisiana has made a
good start in this matter aud should
now provide for the Imprisonment
at hard labor of wife beaters.
That done, the state will have clear
lead in at least one important re-
spect Chicago Record Herald.

MRS. FOSTERS MEMORIAL.
Tablet To Be Unveiled at City Club
administrations of TombS Angel.
On her lips was the law of kindness. -

ron her lips the law Of kindness
These words appear memorial to the late
Mrs. Rebecca Salome Foster, better known the
"rombs Angel" which will be unveiled at the City
Club on New Years Day. Abo re the legend is seen
an angel. with outstretched. protecting wings. sup
porting in its arms a girl prisoner. a type of the
first offenders to whom Mrs Foster devoted her
life. The figure is ideal one, but a portrait of
Mrs Foster appears in the upper part of the tablet
which is to be presented the judges of the Court
of Special Sessions. and affixed the wall of the
courtroom. 1t is composed of marble and brass.
and was executed by Karl Bitter. with the coop
alton. in matters architectural of Charles r. Lamb
The idea of the memorial originated with the
City Club. and the money raised by public
subscription. The arrangements were intrusted by
the club to the committee municipal govern
ment. OF which the Rev. Thomas Slicer is chairman,
and Captain Goddard acted as treasurer of the fund
The tablet will be unveiled by the chairman at
O'Clock on New Years Day, and invitations to
witness the ceremony have been sent TO the
Judges of the courts of Special and General SEES
sions the District Attorney the Mayor and the
President Of the Board OF Aldermen
Mrs. Foster the widow of a judge of the
Court of Special Sessions, and woman of
means and social position From her knowledge
OF her husbands work she conceived the idea of
devoting herself a probation officer to the
of first offenders. In this work she developed
such a remarkable fitness and such a rare
binaton of wisdom and sympathy as to win the
regard of all the judges and court officials with
wnom she came IN contact IN the discharge or
her seIf-mposed duties. She received no salary.
and though money for the support of the work
raised by voluntary contributions it is be-
lieved that she never spent any of it to defray
her personal expenses. but only for the direct
benefit of the cases under her care.
It would be difficult to tell how many Mrs Foster
rescued from life Of crime, not only because or
the impossibty OF estimating effects of her
huence but because Of her extreme retcence about
her work. When she first began It she called the
reporters together and said IT would be impossible
for her to go on with the work If they were going
TO make stories" out Of her. She asked that she
might be mentioned when II was possible O
avoid it. She never talked about her work among
her friends and with her family and her life in the
courts and the Tombs was lived quite apart from
her life at homs and in society
Mrs. Foster lost her life in the Park Avenue
Hotel fire couple Of years and 1t is believed
that she might easily have escaped II 1t had not
been for her desire TO help others She went back
