Sr. Psrnnsnuao, Feb. 24.

; A splendid ball was given at the Legetion
. ofthe United States by Gen. Clay, on the rm-
- niverSury of the birthday of Washington. The
: extensive apartment of the Minister was re-
' furnished and elegantly decorated in honor of
the event, and the portrait of Washington.
elaborately and tastefully enshrined in laurel
and evergreens, under the supervision of Mr.
Bergh, Secretary of Legation, occu-
pied most conspicuous wall of the
bail-room. Flowers and other
plants, in spring-like confusion, adorned the
wells, piers and angles of the drawiugrooms,
While the floor of the hall was bounded by a
parz’errc of flowers. Against a Wall of an ele-
gant boudoz'r was also suspended a life-like
p ntrait of Alexander II.

At about 11 o'clock the guests began to ar-
rive, and among them were the following:
Pi'irce d'Oldenbourg, Duke Nicholas Leach-
tenhourg, Due de Mecklenbourg, Prince
Nicholas. ofNass-au; Comte Phslcu, of Bavaria;
Monsieur Milutinc, Ministerof War: Monsieur
Valoueff, Minister of the Interior; M. de Tols-
toy, Minister of the Postes; M. Mon"-
hanofi“, of Foreign Affairs; M. de Rich—
ten. {.‘omte Tolstoy, Grund Echanson; Comte
Rihcaupierre, Grand Marshal Comte
Schouvnloﬂil’rincc Dclgoroukiﬂomte'Panine,
Prince Gortschakoﬂ’, Baron Rosen. Baron
Korif, Prince Gagarin, Comte Nicholas de
Oriell‘ Denisoff, and the entire diplomatic
corps. The ladies belonging to the fami-
l‘es enumerated above, as well as many others
distinguished in fashionable life here, were
also present.

The minister of the United States, with a.
liberality never before witnessed in this coun-
try—on the part of an American envoy—-
challenged the sincere compliments of his
guests by his urbanity and prodigal hospitali-
ty. The responsible duties of hostess were
performed by Mrs. Henry Bergh, wife of the
Secretary, with an intelligent dignity and
courtesy, the result of many years' experi‘
. once 01 foreign life.

Relating to Husband and Wife, and
entitled ‘Husband and Wife,“‘ ap—
proved May 10‘, 189:5 '

erty, real or personal, owned at the
time or acquired after the marriage.
During the existence of the marriage
relation the wife shall hold and own
all her estate to her separate and ex-
clusive use, and free from the debts, li-
abilities, or control of her husband.
No part of a married woman’s estate
shall be subjected to the payment or
satisfaction of any liability, upon a con-
tract made after marriage, to answer
for the debt, default or misdoing of an-
other, including her husband, unless
such estate shall have been set apart
for that purpose by deed of mortgage
or other conveyance; but her estate
shall be liable for debts and responsi-
bilities contracted or incurred before
marriage, and for such contracted after
marriage, except as in this act provided.

Sec. 33. A married woman may take,
acquire and hold property, real and
personal, by gift, devise or descent,
or purchase, and she may, in her own

her real estate, and collect, receive and
recover in her own name the rents
thereof and make contracts for the im-
provement thereof.

A gift, transfer or assignmentof per-
sonal property between husband and
wife shall not be valid as to third per-
sons unless the same be in writing and
acknowledged and recorded as chattel
mortgages are required by lav: to be
acknowledged and recorded; but. the re-
cording of any such writing shall not
make valid any such gift, transfer or
assignment which is fraudulent or vio-
lable as to creditors or purchasers.

Sec. 34. Husband and wife may sell
and convey her lands or chattels real,
but the conveyance must be acknowl-
edged and recorded in the manner re-
quired by the chapter on conveyances.

Sec. 35. The husband shall not be

essaries furnished to her after mar-
riage.

comes; permanently deranged in his
mind, the wife, by judgment of a court
of equity, may be empowered to sell
and convey, by her own deed, any of

ceeds from any claim of her husband:
Provided, That in case of insanity he

acourt of competent jurisdiction.

See. 37. After the death of either the

work. Miss Clay was called aWay for
the campaign in South Carolina, but
Mrs. Mary Gratz Morton took her place
in carrying on the work. Mist. Emma
R. Shaw and Mrs. Richard Arnspiger
gave unabated zeal, that every detail _
might be successfully carried out. Miss
Sue Scott was untiring in studying and
explaining election laws to those women
who were to serve on election day.

It was decreed that the women and
men should vote at the same booth in
the street on the school question. That
teriﬁed some who had been willing to
serve as ofﬁcers at the registration,_ but
most of them stood the ground herorcal-
ly—just- as women always do when they
stand face to face with an emergency.
The ofﬁcers went to their places and the
voting began.

The colored women (most of them)
voted the Democratic ticket, having
been well bought up and instructed by
that party, who were active all day long
at the polls. The women’s ticket was
elected by a large majority.

Nothing unpleasant occurred in the
city where the women were ofﬁcers,
although it was very stormy where men
ruled. Without exception the men were
courteous and polite as at a reception,
taking off their hats and laying aside
cigars before entering the booths to vote.
If by thoughtlessness any one forgot to
put down the cigar, a glance from the
presiding sheriff, and “I beg your par-
don” followed.

Counting the ballots was a long, tedi-
ous work. Lamps had to be lighted in
order to conclude the day's duties. It
was 9 o’clock before it was all over.
Many women took part in that day’s
election who never dreamed of such pub-
licity coming to them. They still believe
in having women on the School Board,
and smile over the experiences of the
day, but I think they do not “hanker”
for a repetition of the service.

Lexington, Ky., 'May 15,—(Specila1.)——
The question of women on the School
Board was presented to the women of
Lexington soon after the General Assem-
bly of the State authorized it, by Miss
Laura Clay, who held meetings in every
church, explaining the law, requirements
and obligations hereafter resting upon
women. Committees were appointed
from various woman’s organizations to
secure suitable candid-ates to represent
the women of Lexington. The following
names were ﬁnally submitted: Mrs. Ida
Withers Harrison, (Mrs. Mary Creeghan
Roark, Mrs. Ann'a Williamson and Mrs.
Sarah West Marsh-all.

Afterward the names of 'four men “were
added, one from each ward: Rev. Mark
Collis, Dr. ‘B. L. Coleman, Mr. William
Bush and Prof. Paul Anderson.

This was known as the woman’s tick-
et. As the time drew near for registra—
tion and election, there was much
house—to-house visitation explaining
the law and urging all the women to
register. The day came at last to reg—
ister. Women Were appointed ofﬁcers
of registration and served as sheiil‘fs,
clerks and judges. The women had a
separate place from the men in which
to legister, the place often being a
