MRS. HERMAN STILL HELD.
J.sties Lipps.eett. However. Gr..ts = writ
Of Habeas Corpus.

Supreme Court Justice Lippncott yesterday
morning granted the writ OF habeas corpus APP
piled for by Senator W. d. Daily in the case OF
Mrs. Msthilde Herman. the Lexow witness now
detained in the Hudson county Jail pending ex-
tradition proceedings. The writ Is returnable

compliance with the act OF the Legislature Of
this state entitled An act concerning fusitives
from Justice: approved April l. 1885, p; L. 1859.
page l36. This Is the only question which ap-
parently can arise in this matter"
e am perfectly satisfied with the decision"
said Lawyer W. X. Barricklo. who Is looking
after the interests OF the Lexow committee.
The only question in the case IL the legality Of
the commitment by Police Justice Potts. you
will by Judge Lippincotts opinion and
there can be no question OF that. will be ready
on Monday with sufficient grounds to prevent
the liberation OF Mrs; Herman until she goes
before the committee"
Senator DAILY also appeared To be perfectly
satisfied, and smilingly assured a reporter that
the granting OF the writ was virtually victory
for his client.

In this day and generation, when woman fear
lessly enters every sphere and attempts almost
every trade and profession. there can be no as
constituent felt in observing that one OF the
whilom gentle. now enterprising. sex, takes a
novel position, asserting her ability with
calm assurance and with marked success.
Such an occurrence took place last evening
when Miss Maud Powell. who has for q num-
Der of years been favorably known in New York
as . solo violinist OF true merit and constantly
growing capabilities. made her appearance in
tho new role of leader In the string quartet
which bears her name. The other artists of the
organization are Josef Dovarik, second violin:

white men and negroes because II was asserted
that the negroes were cutting rates to secure
