HIRSCH GElGER'S EARLY START.

Breach of Promise, Marriage and Abandon
ment Proceedings, All at Fifteen.
The spectators at the Essex Market Court
this morning thought the lad who made his
way to the bar was charged with playing ball
en- the street or some other juvenile offense,
and were startled when Justice O'Reily
said !: "a
You are charged with failing to provide
for your wife and child. What have you got
to say Z"
Not guilty. " replied thu. lad.
He was Hirsch Geiger ; he earns So a week
making cloaks, and lives at l54 Forsyth
street. He is fifteen years old.
His wife gave her age rs nineteen, but she
looks nearer thirty. Three weeks ago she
had him locked up in Ludlow Street Jail in
a suit for 80, 900 damages for breach of
promise, and after two weeks he got
his liberty by marrying her at the
Office of Lawyer Nathan Levy, Is Ludlow
street. Alderman Philip BENJAMIN per-
formed the ceremony. Then the husband
bolted for the door and made his escape.
Alderman Benjamin was in court, and he
became alarmed when Agent Young, of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, told him that he was indictable for
marrying a minor.
Didn't the young man tell me he was
seventeen years of age ?" Alderman Benjamin
asked Lawyer Levy.
No" replied the lawyer, " he said he
would be sixteen next birthday"
Tn Penal code was consulted and the
Alderman was n happy man when it was dis.
covered that the law applied only to girls.
Tn youthful husband was locked up for
examination.

THE HALF HOLIDAY SAVED.

In vetoing the Half Holiday Repeal Bill
Gov. HILL has justified the confidence of the
self an Executive with whom men weigh more
than money. He has refused to sanction leg
islation for the money making class against
the incorporating mass.
The reasons given In the Governors mes
sage accompanying the veto are entirely
conclusive. The law has not had q fair trial.
It's purpose and its operations, 30 far as
tested, still meet the approval of the people
for whose benefit it was passed. This was
attested by the fifty two thousand protests
against its repeal sent to the Legislature by
The EVENING WORLD.
There is, as the Governor truly says, nc
actual necessity for the constant and e1-
cesaive labor that characterized former
days" The working people need and are
entitled to time for recreation and pleasure,
as we'll as for rest and worship.
TIL EVENING WORLD welcomes the veto
with especial gladness. Single-handed among
the press, it fought the repeal in the Legisla
ture. Alone it procured and presented Il
the Governor a large and significant petition
for q veto, Its representative made the sol
argument before Gov. HILL for the preserva
ton of the Half Holiday intact.
The EVENING WORLD congratulates tn
toilers on the success of the effort to save tn
Half Holiday Law. and in their name thank
the Governor for defending their interests.
