Money Value Of Women.

II you are a married woman, and
we're asked to tell just what you were
worth in hard cash to your husband,
what figure would you name? The
question Is not a fanciful one by any
means, but has been o. snbject OF ju-
dicial consideration.
1t was this way: The wife of an
Iowa farmer bought a gallon Of what
purported to be kerosene, but which
was afterward Shown to be 81 per
cent. gasoline. When the woman used
some OF II to start fire with the stuff
exploded, and she was burnt TO death
aad her three children were seriously
Injured. The woman's husband sued
the dealers for damages. and the Jury
awarded him S25 for The loss OF his
wife and $299.7l per child on account
Of injuries.
The defendants evidently thought
that a woman was not worth $25. for
they took an appeal from the verdict.
The learned court, however, declined
to look at IL In that light. and the
Judgment was afIlrmed-NeW York

Philadelphia, July 22.-The tempta- tion to secure a fortune left by her aunt on condition that she renounce her husband who was of humble birth is declared to have been too much for the heiress of the Carson family and with her two children, Mrs. Bernard Dobbins, who before her marriage was Miss Laura Flickinger, left the son of a poor gardener and has returned to her old home.
 The fortune involved is $150,0OO, which, acording to the will of Mrs. Robert Carson of the famous Erden- helm estate, who died on July 4, was to go to her neice if she deserted her husband whom she married seven years ago. During all this time they
