Mr.. BANGS VS.. MRS. BANGS
Husband Denies He Refused to Let
Wife See Daughter.
Bisected Custody of the Children
Brings Further Complications
Into Court.

David c. Bangs, a clerk in The treasury
Department, denies that his divorced wife,
Clara c. Bangs, has been refused permission
to see Laura Louise Bangs, their little girl,
whose custody was awarded the father
with the privilege to the mother OF seeing
the child three times week.
The boy, Roscoe, was given to the care
of Mrs. Bangs, and the separated parents
have frequently visited their children
Mr.. Bangs explains to the court in his
answer filed today by his counsel, Mason
y. Richardson, that his little girl has been
for the past month sick with tonsilitis, and
in view OF the prevailing fear in refer
cncc TO diphtheria the doctor in charge
directed that extraordinary preca ution De
taken, and naturally the customary visits
OF the child to the mother were inter
rupted.
rhe father says that Mrs. Bangs was not
denied permission to see the daughter, at
his home, where she is i'll; on the contrary,
he charges the interest OF the mother in
Louise was so small that She never during
the month called to see her, and It was ,'iiiy
because of a letter written to Roscoe. tie
son. that Mrs. Bangs became acquainted
with the fact that Louise was i'll. She ten
called at his home, but did not ask 10 see
Louise, only inquirng how she was.
Mrs. Bangs alleged in her bill of COM
plant that her husband had been trans
ferred to Kansas City, and that he intended
leaving the city and, she believed, taking
Louise with him. Mr. Bangs does not deny
that he has been transferred, as charged
but says that it is only temporarily. He de
nies that he was going to take his daugh-
ter with him, and asserts that she will
remain, as heretofore, in this city with his
mother.
Mrs. Bangs alleged that the father had
not seen his son, Roscoe, for month, and
that he did not want to see him. Mr
Bangs contradicts this assertion. and ays
that the truth is, il it were in his power,
and the order OF the court were not other
wise, such is his affection for the boy that
he would have him constantly with him.
The husband also denies his divorced y,ife's
charge that he was going away to escape
the payment TO her of the alimony awarded
by the court.
The parties were divorced by order of
Judge Cox September last. Mrs Bangs
being grantedthe right to resume her maiden

The Movement 20 Liberia.

The emigration OF cOIored people TO Ii
IBERIA through this port continues. though
In such a small way that il will make
no perceptible impression upon the black
population OF the south. The steamship
Laurada. which VIII clear for Liberia
to-day. in all probability. will carry
between 30 and 80 emigrants. VINO have
been gathered together from several
states
The Morning News has never opposed
the emigration OF the blacks TO Liberia,
though it has had good deal to say
ABOUT the necessity for treating the emf
grants fairly and informing them fully
OF the conditions they may expect on
their arrival there. They ought not
to emigrate under the impression that
they will find II much easier TO earn
living in Liberia than it is here. or that
they can secure more comforts there
with less labor than they can here. They
are a simple minded people. and are cas-
iy imposed upon, and it is the duty OF
the white people to see TO it that they
are dealt with fairly and squarely by
the company that is encouraging them
to emigrate.
We have no evidence that the company
is not carrying out its contract with
them to the letter. on the contrary,
there are reasons for thinking that the
company does exactly what it promises
to do. The company is not a philanthro-
pic organization. It is in the emigration
business for the money there is to be
made, and from all accounts the business
is profitable
The south can spare all the colored peo-
pie who desire to go to Liberia As fast
as the blacks go white people will come
to take their places, and what the south
desires now is white immigrants. With
an abundance of white immigration. the
southern states would become the most
prosperous states in the union.
Those of the colored emigrants who are
of making the most of their opportuni-
ties, will likely do well in Liberia. There
are bad climatic conditions to contend
with, but land is cheap and productive,
and it does not take many years to be-
come acclimated. The information is
that the most of those of the last ship
load that left this port are doing well.
A considerable number of them fell vic
Tins to the fevers of the country, but
by proper care the danger from that
source can be greatly lessened. 1t is not
probable that anything will be put in the
way of the business of the emigration
company. so long as it is conducted fairly.
1t is quite certain that no effort will be
made to prevent blacks from leaving the
country.

The wheel of wealth.

Once there was man who wanted to be
wealthy. writes Ella Parker Buler. in
Life You are surprise2 No doubt; for he
was unique in this respect
And, moreover. he wished TO become
wealthy by some easy method. What, you
cannot believe it7 Nevertheless. II is true.

his desire.
Nothing easier. my dear sir,r-said the

You Will grow wealthy. The more you

night and so saying, he vanished.
The man was eager to try his neW-gOt-

ana, taxing stout grip on the handle,
Il evidently needed OIL for he turned it
with difficulty.
So he called his wife and babe her fetch

Now, the wheel had an automatic reg

man could tell just how wealthy he was

when the Cows Come Home.

Sarah M II. Gardner, in The New Bohe-
milan.
The light on the mountain falls aslant,
The birds in the bush are still;
The cricket chirps in the pasture plant
When the cows come over the hill.
The swallows circle about the caves,
A pale star mounts the sky;
The squirrels rustic the golden sheaves
When the cows are passing by.
Over the valley the shadows creep
Dark'ning the green of the pine;
Down in the garden the honeybees sleep,
Missing the breath OF the kline.
The tinkle of the bells is sweet to my ear.
But sWeeter the words of a song
That the singer is slowly bringing near
As she follows the COWS along.
She sings Of lover whose faith is fast
Wherever his footsteps roam;
And her cheeks grow red when we meet at
last,
As the cows are coming home.
