A Negro May Whip His Wife.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
Dan Bryce, a barber by trade,
was charged with an assault on
his wife. The complaint, Jane
Bryce, said the trouble was
caused by dollar which she had
spent buying Christmas tricks.
She said her husband gave her
the d0llas and she thought she
had right 10 spend it as she saw
fit, but Daniel seemed to think
otherwise. After making her
drink whlskey against her will
said Jane, her afiectionate hus-
band knocked her down, bit her
LETT year, ,choked her and hurt her
in the back.
Dan said he went home yester
day and found his wine out in the
street drunk with a lot of other
women. The sight so enraged
him that he slapped his wife
nothing more.
Mr.. Chase Brenizer, who ap
peared tor the defendant, called
the courts attention to the fact
that in the old times the law gave
man the right to whip his wife
provided he did not use stick
larger than his thumb. 81 think
may it please your honor" said
Mr.. Brenizer, "that this ought to
include slapping the wife" The
attorney then called the recor
der's attention to recent ruling
by Judge Hoke to the effect that
a negro had the right under the
common law to whip his wife.
The recorder was inclined TO
the opinion that Judge Hoke had
adopted precedent established
by the municipal court of Char
lotte. Of course Daniel was dis
charged.

More Sensational Changes.

New York, Jan. 4.-Shll fur
ther sensational price changes
were awaiting the cotton trade
Monday. Cables were low. An
English cotton expert has esli
mated the crop at 1,250,000
bales and while the latest adj
vices concerning the far eastern
situation were more optimistic
the uncertainty in that respect
exerted an untavorable influence
on prices. The market here
opened weak at a decline of 81 to
63 points presenting from 1-3
to 2.3 of cent per pound with
March down to 1850. May to
12.S9, this being a net loss on
these positions of from 55 to SO
points. On the decline, however
there was a good demand with
shorts taking profits and inside Of
| 5 minutes the active months had
rallied % to 81 points from the
lowest. Trading was active and
sentiment evidently very much
unsettled.
Trading was less active after
partial recovery and prices show
ed little further changes during
the morning with the early after
noon finding the market irregular
around level from 25 to 20
points lower.
New Orleans, Jan. 4.-The cot.
ton market opened weak and
fIom 80 to 60 points lower than
the closo of Thursday. During
the morning the tone was fever
ish and prices were held down
from and wide reactions by a
flood OF selling orders. Neill's
estimate of II ,250,000 bales was
generally laughed at. Brown
was the only aggressive supporte-
Of the market. There was moth
ing dong in the spot market.
The inquiry was limited and
there was absolutely no offerings
from the country. Late in the
morning March was 46 points
lower than the close of Thursday
at 1918, May was 39 points
lower, at 13 AT, and July was 3s
points lower, at 1857.

fuller accounts of her exploits at Ush-

and bravery.
She was gathering shellfish on the
rocks near the Pyramide du Runion,
when out of the fog she heard des-
pairing cries, and looking seward
perceived a boat containing fourteen
men which was drifting wildly at the
mercy of the strong currents among a
mass of dangerous reefs.
The occupants of the boat, afraid to
throw themselves into the sea On ac-
count of the swift tide. piled their
oars with the courage of despair and
shouted at the top Of their voices for
assistance.
Rose ran down to the foot of the
cliffs, and without losing a moment
plunged into the boiling surf. dressed
as she was. and swan to the boat.
Climbing on board. she treasured
the sailors as best she could, for she
speaks little French, and then. taking
her place at the rudder. steered the
boat with marvellous adroitness past
dangerous reefs to Pen-ar-Rock. dis
