The following resolution was offered by Alderman Ramsdell, sec- onded by Alderman McPhail and unanimously adopted: The Common Council of tho City Of Ogdensburg has learned with deep regret of the passing of Mrs. Charles Haley. It'Is safe to state without exaggeration that this City has never numbered among its residents any person who did more in a charitable way. While many of our people have given generously in a material manner, Mrs. Haley gave unstintlngly of her energy ( and good offices to those who were In need. She possessed a wonderful knowledge of the circum- stances of our people in general. She was endowed with a rare amount of good judgment and the relief work accomplished by her not only relieved suffering but in a great many cases increased the moral standing of those who were the recipients of her bounty. We feel that official recognition should be taken of the wonderful services she rendered, and the Com- mon Council of the City of Ogdens- burg desires to ^ive official rec- ognition to her sterling worth and to assure her family that we feel that in her passing the City itself has sustained a distinct loss, and the Clerk be Instructed to send copies of this resolution to the fam- ily and the press, ^ On motion the Council adjourn- ed.

This is a rule of property rights which stands until uhe legislature changes it.\ Judee Pound then refers to the statutes that have been handed down on the subject, from i860. ''We have,\ b» continues, \to con- aid re the proper construction of the present statutes. The law says I tihat a married woman has a right of action for an injury -to her per- son ae if unmarried. If sha were not defendant's\ wife plaintiff would maintain an action against him for malicious prosecution. Why should the marriage relation permdt the husband maliciously to prosecute his wife on a crlmlntal charge with out subjecting himself to liability for damages? We are now con- fronted with the rule* of stare de- cisis and enjoined to defer to casce already adjudicated. Rights Examined. \The present tendency of tfce courts is to look at the substance of rights rattier than blindly to ad- here to fictions and 1 formulas.

When. the wife is given, in law, ais In fact, an existence sepa- rate from her husband tor all other purposes the courts should not, by speculating on the legislative in- >tent, unite her's into that of her husband and assume a legal unity of husband and wife to exist for the single purpose of protecting hkn wfoen he injures her person without right.

The othor uninvited caller wat his nephew, Terranee O'Shaugu- nessy. Only fine things could be said about Terry. The untimely, accidental death of his father left him alone, and when affairs were being settled he came across a writ ten request to the effect that in the event of any kind of trouble he was to appeal to his mother's wealthy lawyer brother in San Francisco. Thus It developed that Brandos settled the estate and took Terry Into tho law office.
