( Flights of prominent n en from St. Louie, i Minneapolis and other sections 01 me suiir to Canada recently to escape the conse quences of criminal acta In the republic have revived Intercut In the eitradltlon arrangement between the two countries, tha method of tiurault In thla part of British North Atnorlca and other relation . of the fugitives from justice to thia aectlon, says a Toronto dispatch to the Philadelphia Record. While the agent of the Baking Powder trust w seeking a friendly shelter In Canada from St. Ioula authorities, there were Americans In Toronto from nearly very blur city and state of the union here to keep him company, for the same general reason. While twenty years aao Canada was the mecca of criminals, who were leaving their country for their country's good, across tha line, the extradition treaty, negotiated In 188, was popularly supposed to have destroyed the Immunity In this line. As a matter of fact, the community of Inter act that caused tha two countries to put up tha bars against crooki who were taking enforced vacations doea ,not seem to be of sufficiently broad scope to have abolished the refuge so much sought by criminals from all parts of the world. An amaslng number of grave crimes are enumerated In the treaty, and the amend ment consummated lant year does not make Canada more unhealthy for the fugitive than formerly. While Toronto has always been the center f this foreign colony from the states, curi ously enough fate has decreed that a man of the same nationality should be commis sioned by Canada to handle these fugitives. Colonel John W. Murray a New York City product, haa for twenty-eight Jeors been tha chief of the criminal investigation de partment for the Ontario government. Of course, Mr. Murray has long since sought tha protection of the flag he has done so much to honor by becoming naturalised. Terror of All Crooks. To this ex-American s seal, detective rklU and alertness do many of the men of his native country, who thought to aeek a refuge In Canada and In the metropolis of Ontario bury the pat, owe their undoing. During his long canr at the head of this branch of the government Mr. Murray has visited every part of the civilised world, in pursuit of crooks, and knows more cele brated fugitives than any man In Canada. Though 7 years of age, he retains his position In the service and preswveS his remarkable Intuition for picking out men with the Indelible marka'of the fugitive from Justice In their makeup. "What ta it that leads the men to betray themselves?" observed Mr. Murray. "I cannot aay. Perhaps It is the knowledge they possess that goea with every guilty conscience that . they are being sought, together with the fear, forever with them. If they evade justice a generation, of ipos albla arrest. In my twenty-eight yeara of experience I- suppose I have met every temperament and condition of .tha criminal world in .this peculiar field men of great learning and culture), mett of tha highest attalnmenta and others of the world of crime, of the ' product . of the ' slums all driven Into the snma channel by a. thousand different reasons, but all with tha aame Instinct of self-preservation, and finally re duced by the exigencies : of the fugitive from Justice to the common level. Their methods are almost Invariably the aame, and Intelligent -men who : have wrecked bat.ks by unfortunate speculation, and the thug and burglar,' who have .wrecked tha same institutions at night with dynamite, In tha hope of looting the strong box, seem to reach about tha aame conclusions, though from a widely different process of reasoning. They resort to the same trlcka to evade the aleuth, and, while one seek the best resident portion of tha ctty and the other the slum, therf Is a sameness about their life from the time they become fugutives from justice that betrays them Immediately to the trained detective.- - -taa't Cha.s Their Habits.

A Mil waukee embessler waa described aa a very devout nutn at home, though It waa added that this was. perhaps, a blind, and he could not reaort to it longer, since he Was . a fugitive from justice; but did not believe a man could drop thia habit, even though it had twen assumed In the first place merely to disguise hi real nature. Good habits, like bad onea, are equally tena cious. They can't be dropped In a moment, and ao we found this fugitive a member of a little suburban church and a teacher in the Sunday school. "Will theae fugitives fight? No, abso lutely no. In my many yeara' dealing with thl class of criminals I never knew but two or three to rVslst when approached by an officer. I attribute thla common im pulse to submit quietly to the fact that they are In a foreign country, unaccus tomed to the ways of the people, and realise that resistance will make a bad matter worse.

When a woman marries not of necessity do her legal troubles begin, but the lsw has more to say about her than It had before. Just the reverse of how things were In former times, says George James Boyles fn Collier's Weekly. Her lvgal personality at once develops with her rights, and clever la the woman who realises Into what a gToHoua possession she has come. The law, however, has something to aay about her being married, and her contract to marry, as It Is called, and It la with this contract that the legal features of the do mestic relations of woman rightly begin. This contract to marry Is In Its nature a mutual agreement between a man and a woman to marry each other or to become husband and wife at a future time, and must satisfy all legal requirements the same aa other contracts. No express form of words Is required, as It need only appear that both the man and the woman under atood It to be an offer of marriage which was accepted. The promise of a man to marry a certain woman "If, he married any one," haa been held void both because It i too Indefinite and because It operatea-vir-tually aa a restraint upon marriage The fact that a man haa already promised to msrry someone that Is. is engsged to be marrlod does not affect hla capacity to promise to marry someone else. There must be a definite acceptance of the offer or promise. While a woman Is not bound to ' disclose anything concerning herself, except her physical unfitness for marriage, yet any false representations made by her, or 'on her behalf with her knowledge, for the purpose of deceiving the n an, will con stitute a fraud, and the man'a promise Is not binding, whether stich false representa tlona relate to the woman'a social position and fortune or to her character Right to Support. A normal feature of the married state is th support of the wife by the husband. S'ich a right to aupport results naturally from the more dependent position of a woman In married life, removed aa she la, to a greater or less extent, from the oppor tunities of earning a livelihood by her own exertions, even though such opportunities are rapidly Increasing In our free American life. As, however, married men do not suf ficiently realize this obligation of support, legislation has developed which defines with greater, or less detail the legal right of a wife to support during marriage. Very nearly all the states at the present time have embodied In the statute law some spe cific recognition of the right of a married woman to support out of the property of her husband, and the exceptlona appear to be the atates of Alabama, Arkansas. Cali fornia, Idaho, Mississippi, Tennessee and Wyoming. It is a general rule throughout the United States at the present time that a married woman may receive, receipt for, hold, man age, dispose of, lease, sell and convey, de vise or bequeath her separate property, both real and personal, as if sole, without Joining with or receiving tho consent ot het husband. She may generally make contracts and Incur liabilities aa if sole in the greater number of states. There are, however, cer tain limitations to these rights defined in the statute law. So, In the state of Geor gia, any restrictions upon such powers of the wife made in a marriage contract must be complied with. By the Louisiana law a" wife, even when ahe Is separate In es tate, can not alienate, grant or mortgage her property unless her husband concura In the act or yields his consent in writing. States la Vanguard. In the atates of Oregon and Washington, which have been In these respects the most radical In , legislation., all lawa which im pose or recognise civil disabilities upon a wife which are not imposed or recognized as. existing on the husband, except aa to voting and holding public office, have been repealed. The state of Mississippi has enacted, "That the common law aa to the disabilities of married women, and it effect on th right and property of the wife. Is totally abrogated, and marriage shall not be held to Impose any disability or inca pacity on a woman, aa to the ownership, acquisition or disposition of property or any part, or aa to her capacity to make contracts and do all things which she could do in reference to property. If unmarried." A married woman may, in most atates, prosecute and defend suits at law concern ing her own property, aa if sole. But let this never encourage women to try to be their own lawyers. By the lawa of the state of New York and Weat Virginia a married woman own ing stock tn an Incorporated company may vote at an election of offlcera by proxy or otherwise. In Pennsylvania a married woman may sell and transfer shares of railroad atock a If sole, and substantially the same rights exist In California and the Dakota. At the common law a married woman could not appear by an attorney In a suit unless he were appointed to serve by her husband, and therefore her con tract to pay counsel fees was absolutely void. Under the usual statutes, however, that authorise a married woman to enter into contracts gen-rally, there aeema to be no reaaon why an ahould not contract for counsel fees. Whether, when she may employ legal counsel, she binds herself personally or blnda only her property, seems to be an unsettled question. Exesnattoas frosa Execatloa. There Is a certain' kind of property of a woman often spoken of In law aa "para phernalia" and which In the states of Rhode Island, Colorado, Georgia and Louisiana ia not subject to the debts nor the control of the husband. Such property consists of wearing apparel of herself and of her children, of her ornaments suitable to her station in life, her watch and Jew elry, sliver and table ware and generally all such article as have been given to her for her own use and comfort. To that kind of .property known gener ally aa earnings the product of Industry the married woman of the United States now has an absolute right in nearly all of the states and such a light could now be questioned only where the principles of the old civil law remain, aa In Louisiana, Arisona and New Mexloo. There is In many of the atatea a certain process by which a married woman can be come a sole trader, as it Is called, and carry on a business entirely apart from her husband. She ia then called a sole trader In the statea of Pennsylvania, California, Idaho and Montana, a free trader tn North Carolina and Georgia, a free dealer in Florida, and a public merchant in Lou isiana. In several atatea some of these privileges are extended to her without formalities of any kind. Thua a woman may carry on any bualnesa or trade or perform ary labor or services in her sol and separate account, and her earn ings are her sole and separate property, and may be used and invested In her cwn name, by the laws of Nw York. Indiana, Kansa, Nebraska, Vir ginia, West Virginia, Arkansas., Colorado and Wyoming. In a few of th atates not every married woman has lbs )tj privi lege of becoming a aole trader. Thua. In Pennsylva la a married woman ran secure the privilege only when her husband Is atiaent at see. end In Callforrla only when her husband fall to support her or when there Is ground for a suit for divorce. When a married woman Is recognized as a sole trader she Is not confined to any partlculsr trade. She may engage not only in washing, sewing, dreesmsklng. millinery, In operating a dairy, a boarding house, a grocery or provision store, but she may be a farmer, a miller, aa army sutler, a saloon or tavern keeper, a clothier, a dealer In metal Junk; she may work a mine or quarry, or carry on a lumber business. Hi In nearly all of the states It is expressly enacted that a married woman of full age and sound mind may devise her separate real, or personal property by an ordinary will, without the husband' consent as If sole. Where this is not expressly declared to be the law, it 1 generally implied if there la no provision to the contrary. One of the most satisfactory develop ments o the legal condition of American women is the use of mothers equally with fathers In the guardianship of minor chil dren. Still this use obtains at the present time In only seven of the states namely, Colorado, Kansaa. Maine. Nebraska, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. In the other states the preference Is still given to the father. While there Is the usual diversity of provisions -In the statutes of the various atates, the tendency In legis lation Is rwn to be In favor of giving wo men equal rights In guardianship, and It may be safely said that the great Influence of the courta Is being exerted In their favor.
