Nuw York, Dec 10. The Blaine di.
s.rce proceedings, which are in progress

tl..ting unusual attention. The present
G- before the referee is for the Gus
tody # the child of Mr.. and Mrs. james
@. J. line, jr. The Blaine family want
to have the boy, and his mother is just
as determined not to let him out of her
hands Mrs. Blaine says that her
duughter-in-law is not tit and proper
person to have charge Of her grandson,
and the mother cordially returns the
compliment
Mrs. Blaine, jr, says that until she
began her suit for divorce her husbands
family never showed any interest in the
child Tney did not even show that
they cared whether it was properly fed
and clothed.
7 he young mother refused to allow
the child when six months of age, TO
be taken to the house in Augusta where
the Coppuger children had the whoop-
ing cough The nurse and baby were
finally allowed to stay at the hotel, but
the parents Wer compelled 90 stay at
the blame house, on the ground that
there was no money for hotel bills
The objections ON other grounds to
allowing the culld to he placed IN it's
graudmuther's hands are th. physical
ana mental neglect that other grand
children are said to have suffered in
their graudmother's house, AMI that 10
place the child there, who is now prop
erly cared for in these respect, would
be TO it's injury.
