FATHER, BUT NOT HUSBAND.
George woehler Refused the Gus
tody Of His Little Girl.

Supreme Court Justice Barrett has dis
missed the habeas corpus procee Iings
brought by George Woehler against Mrs.
Marie Christ. Of GOT West Ninety-second
street. to recover possession Of his six
year-old child. Lizzie woehler. In his
petition Woehler alleged that his wife.
Minnie WoehleS had deserted him and
eloped with a young man. and that the
child was left with her mother, Mrs.
Christ. and that she was not a proper
person to have possession u the child.
Mrs. Christ retained Lawyer Louis
Steck;er, who, In his answer TO the writ
II habeas corpus, set up the fact that
Woeh!er was no, the husband OF Minnie
Christ, and for that reason was not
entitled - the custody OF the child; that
WOehieT himself was not a proper per-
son to have possession OF the child on
account OF the cruel manner in which
he treated his alleged wife and child.
Justice Barrett appointed James J.
Meals referee, and at the r airing before
him Woeh.er admitted that there never
was marriage ceremony between him
AMI his alleged wife, but they had simply
lived together as such, and although ne
had asked her 10 marry him, she had
refused.

THE LgxowrTEs AT WORK.

No great progress was made by the
Lexow Committee yesterday. the evil
dence being cumulative and no new fea-
lures being developed and no star"
witnesses. as Mr.. Con calls them, being
called.
But there was small breeze in the
Committeeman growing out OF the
questioning OF a witness who was said
to have lost n position in consequence
Of having incurred the enmity OF Tam
many politicians. This, MIR. Cantor In
sisted. had no connection with police
corruption or any other official NAL
feasance In the government and was
simply running the investigation into
a political crusade against Tammany
Mr. Con- Indignantly repud.ated the
charge that politics had any part In
the Investigation. and charged that
Tammany had entire control of the ad-
ministration OF crim,nsl law in the city
and hundreds OF persons who had been
subjected to oppression, extor'ion and
| blackmail hesitated to seek Justice or
that account, MIR. Cor had himself
lost clients through the enmity Of Tam
many politicians because OF the part ht
had taken In this prosecution.

that they had been systematically black

AN ANGRY TRAVELLER.

Mr.. Richard Croker Is irritable and
offensive now that he Is about tc take
ship on his .oturn to New York. II may
be that he 10 displeased at the failure Of
the Lexow Committee to get out OF the
way q. once and leave him free from the
fear Of a subpoena. But whatever the
cause. the old leader seems to be as
ready for q fight a. he was years ago.
and yesterday he exercised his quarrel
some propensities on an innocent Irish
reporter. who mounted to the top of the
coach and took q seat by his side on
the trip from Killarney to Queenstown.
What II the trouble? What is going
wrong? II Mr.. Croker really annoyed
at the failure of the Lexow Commit
tee TO get out Of the way In time for
him to make sure OF the fact before he
embarks7 Has he learned from home
that It Is Mayor Gilroys Intention to
push right ahead with his Tammany
reorganization despite the ex-leader's
return? Something must have put him
out Of temper. and certainly no one has
yet succeeded in squeezing out Of him
the desired Information where he got 1t
and where did II all come from.

THE PRECEDENT OF FRANCE.

M. Casimir-Perier was yesterday
elected President Of the French Repub-
lie as the successor OF the lamented
Carnot. The vote In the Electoral Con-
gress was sufficiently decisive to indi-
cate that the new President was clearly
the peoples choice, and to promise
strength and influence to the new Ad-
ministration. The vote cast was 451 for
M. Casimir-Perier to l91 for the next
highest candidate, NJ. Brisson, being u
plurality of 217 and a majority of 43 OF
the total vote. NJ. Dupuy. who showed
such GOODNESS and courage when the
bomb exploded in the Chamber, received
only 90 votes.
The result Of the election was no doubt
due to the circumstances under which
| II was held. The new President was the
one above all others to whom the peo-
pie looked for a firm and determined
policy against Anarchlsm, and the best
proof OF the wisdom OF the choice Is the
| anger and in some degrees the dismay
| Of the Socialists at the resul, OF the
election.
The effect will be to give confidence
| to the people and to quiet the apprehen-
| sions Of the timid who look for further
trouble. There will be excitement and
talk and threats and some disturbance
| no doubt. But the measures Of the
Government will be strong and effective
confidence In the stability OF the Re
public will be confirmed. and law and
order will be upheld with a firmer hand.

Philadelphia Ledger. Miss Lindley. a
physical culturist. observes that care
full thought should be given to the
chair that succeeds the high chair at

thigh from the back to the bent knee.
Then the leverage Of the spine in sup
