Some of the letters were written while Mr. Reed was a student at a theological seminary in Chicago; others were written while Mr. Reed was In the army, and still others during the minister’s labors in Denver.

PARAGRAPHS OF THE DAY.

JUDGE BAKER HOLDS SHE IS ENTITLED TO ONE OF $600.

Rulings in Bankruptcy Case Settling a Complicated Question—Freeman's Schedule Attacked. A ruling was made by Judge John H. Paker, of the United States Court, today. in the ease of Sarah T. Kabaker, of Indianapolis, who was adjudicated as a bankrupt, and claimed lr her schedule the amount of property allowed her by the exemption laws of Indiana. She is the wife of David Kabaker, and had a clothing store, which the referee In bankruptcy sold, and Mrs. Kabaker claimed that under the law of the State she Is entitled to 8600 from the proceeds of the sale. The referee reported to the court that he has set no property aside for her, for the reason that she claimed,in addition to the $600, her wearing apparel and Jewelry. The referee held that she was entitled to the apparel and jewelry and only enough of the proceeds of the sale to bring her total amount up to $600. In reviewing the referee's ruling, which the court sustained. Judge Baker says that the State law contemplates that the disabilities of a married woman to make contracts have been removed by the State. The exemption from liabilities for debts contracted by a married woman Is the same—$600—as that allowed to householders, but Is allowed to a married woman, whether she Is a householder or not. If it was competent for the Legislature to pass the statute, the court also says, and to remove the disabilities of a married woman In respect to entering into contracts, there can be no doubt that the statute confers upon the bankrupt In this case the right to the exemption claimed. The legal presumption Is, the court further says, that every creditor of the bankrupt entered into contracts with her with a knowledge cf the statute, and Impliedly consenting that she should have the benefits of it If she became a bankrupt or insolvent. Freeman’s Schedule. Another bankrupt ruling which Judge Baker made was that In the case of John M. Freeman, of Irvington. Some of his creditors filed three objections to discharging him from his debts. The reason given was: Freeman is the equitable owner, with his wife, in 200 acres of land, and he failed to list It in his petition In bankruptcy. Another reason was that Freeman failed to keep books of his business, with the fraudulent Intent to conceal his true financial condition. The third objection was that Freeman, at the time his petition was filed, was indebted to the New Palestine bank, which held his promissory note for $60, and that he fraudulently attempted to prefer the bank by Indorsing and delivering to It another promissory note, executed by his wife. Judge Baker overruled all of the objections. He said If Mrs. Freeman holds the title to the 200 acres of land In trust for her husband, the referee can file a bill on the equity lu his own name against Freeman and his wife, and if the tacts are proven, It would be the duty of the court to set aside the conveyance and direct the referee to sell the land as a part of the bankrupt's estate. The discharge of the bankrupt, the court held, would in no wise affect the right of the referee to recover assets fraudulently conveyed. In overruling the second objection, the court held that the objection was too vague, as It does not show the kind of business the bankrupt was engaged in, and if It would properly require the keeping of books. Of the third objection, the court said, If the bank has improperly received a note from the bankrupt since the petition was filed, all the referee has to do Is to bring suit in the Federal Court for Us recovery. DAY FOR AMENDMENTS.

Two Offered to the Senate Financial Bill. Washington, D. C., February 6.—In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Aldrich, chairman of the finance committee, offered an amendment to the pending financial bill, providing that nothing in the bill shall Interfere with efforts to secure International bimetallism with the concurrence of the leading nations of the world. Mr. Pettus, of Alabama, offered an amendment to the financial bill, providing that the bill shall not be construed to offset the present legal tender quality of silver dollars coined by the United States. To the same bill Mr. Chandler proposed zm amendment providing that the gold dollar of 25.85 grains and the silver dollar of 412% grains shall be the unit of value, and that all forms of money issued or coined by the United States shall be maintained at that parity of value; and that the United States notes and treasury notes, when presented at the Treasry for redemption, shall he redeemed in gold or silver coin of such standard.

The Inventor Suffering from Influenza at Akron. Akron, O., February 6.—Thomas A Edison, the Inventor. Is seriously 111 at the home of the late Lewis Miller in this city. He is suffering from an attack of acute influenza, and while the doctors declare there is no danger, the trouble is regarded serious enough to keep him confined to his bed. Dr. A. E. Foltz, who has the patient In charge, said Mr. Edison's system was not in the best condition, and that the trouble would therefore be likely to keep him In bed somewhat longer than would generally be the case. Mr. Edison and his wife were in attendance last week at the funeral of his sister In Milan, O.. and it was at the graveside that he took the cold which has brought on his illness.

Istry. He went to Indianapolis, where he will engage in the Insurance business. Rector Talbott waa married, recently, but he resigned as pastor over one year ago. DAILY CITY STATISTICS.

[Special to The Indianapolis News.} Shelbyvllle, Ind., February' 6.—For the past two or three years the residents of Morristown and Falrland. this county, have been making the attempt to rid their places of retail saloons.

WILLIAM H. TAFT.

in 1878. when twenty-one year* old, h* studied law, and In 1881 was appointed assistant prosecuting attorney of Hamilton county, Ohio. A year later ho resigned this office to become Internal revenue collector, but, not finding this position to his taste, he resigned the next year to resume the practice of law. Soon he waa made assistant county solicitor of Hamilton county. > Then he married a daughter of John W. Hevron, United States District Attorney. When Judge Harman resigned from the Superior bench Governor Foraker appointed young Taft for the unexpired term, and he waa afterward elected. In 189 , l President Harrison appointed the young man solicitor-general In the Department of Justice at Washington, to succeed Judge Chapman, deceased. The salary Is $7,000 a year less than that of the office he left in Ohio, but the honor was considered greater. He wa? not an applicant for the office of solicitor-gen-eral. Ohio wiseacres were surprised. They had never heard of Taft In connection with the vacancy. Senator Sherman was surprised, but It was reported that Congressman Butterworth’s friendship with Attorney-General Miller was responsible for the appointment. In 1892 President Harrison commissioned him Judge of the Sixth circuit.

AGAINST POLYGAMY.

Arguments Before the House Committee on Judiciary. Washington, D.

terian church; Dr. 8. H. Green, of the Baptist church; Mrs. Janes, tor the Woman's Home Missionary Board of the Presbyterian church; Miss Jennie Ackerman, traveling representative of the W. C. T. IT.; Judge Wm. Springer, of Indian Territory; Dr. John Dixon, of New York; Dr. L. A.
