h promotion Of, Walsh was made at
the request of Chief of Police Murphy.
Walsh has been in charge of Police Head

mic Elecsion Of Judges.

Ex-President Harrison writes of 'The
judicial Department. of. the Government
in the January Ladies' Home journal
and says with reference 10 the general
mode of selecting judges in the. majority
of States:-''There has been much d,sr.s-
sion as to the proper tenure for the 14u
cial office, and the tendency, as expressed
il, the later State Constitutions, has been
in favor of limited terEas. The earlier
State Constitutions gave the appointment
of the judges to the Governor or the
Legislature, but along with the demand
for limited terms for the Judges came
another for their election by the people,
and in a majority of the States they are
now nominated in the party conven-
tons and elected by popular vote, Just
as a Governor or sheriff is chosen. /
do not think that either of these changes
is are form. Limited terms, if they are
long, may be supported fy many consider
ations; but shortssterms, combined with
popular elections have not, In my opin-
ion. secured as high a judicial standard
as prevailed before. A Judge who must
go at short intervals before a political
Convention for a nomination, and before
the people for an8election, cannot have
the same sense OF Independence and SCI
curity that he would lave If his term
were long or during gopd behavior. The
judicial office should be $50 organized that
men of the best abilities and attachments
would enter it as a career, and give their
lives and their ambition wholly to it.

WHO owns THE CHILD? ?
New Phase in the Habeas Cor
pus Case Over Little
Jaeger.

The contest for the possession of John
Jaeger, the little waif who was taken
from the Almshouse by Mrs. Leo Wan
gerstein, of No. LIS Washington street,
Hoboken, fourteen months ago, adopted
as her own, n brought up in compare
tive luxury, assumed a new phase this
morning. A number of people, including
several stylishly dressed women, were
present to listen to the proceedings. An
important addition was made to the ac-
tors in the case in the person of Mrs.
Jaeger. the child's mother.
When the case was called Senator DAILY
read his return to the writ. The respon-
dent admits. he said, that she has in her
custody a boy named John Jaeger, now
known as William Wangerstein, but con-
ends that he is lawfully in her custody
for several reasons. In the first place
she holds him by virtue Of articles of
indenture from the Board of Freeholders.
Secondly, she holds him by virtue of a
full sur. ender from his mother, Mamie
Jaeger. Mrs. Wangerstein has had the
care and custody of the boy for fourteen
months and has brought him up and
nurtured him with a mothers care.
The next allegation in the answer
caused a big surprise. Mr.. Jaeger, it is
claimed, is not a proper person to nave
he custody of the boy; he is not even
the boys father. He repudiated the pa
ternity of the infant at or about the very
moment of its birth and refused to care
or provide for it. The mother had no
means of supporting the infant and was
therefore compelled, against her will, to
place it in the Almshouse. The child,
the answer declares, is now entirely
happy.
Mrs. Wagerstein is an entirely proper
and responsible person TO have the GUS
tody of the boy. She has ample means
to support him and is perfectly willing to
do so. She has adopted him and given
him her. name.
What did I understand you to say
about a surrender" asked Justice Lip
plncott.
The surrender was made by the boys
mother" answered Mr.. DAILY.
Il thought the mother was dead,' re-
marked Justice Lippincott.

signed the surrender in my Office yester-
day and she is here now"
Justice Lippincott was informed hat

Ter his counsel. said he did not see any
him in the return to show that the child
was not born in lawful wedlock.
justice Lippincott said that the answer
denies the identity of the child, but, of
course, if 1t was born in lawful wedlock
the law would, no doubt, presume tina
Jaeger was the father.
Mr.. Weller said he was ready to go
on with the hearing, but the Court sug-
gested that the proper way would be to
traverse the return. If the case should
go to a hearing on the return mi+bo,,t
being traversed all the facts in the re-
turn were thereby admitted. Mr.. We'll
Ter asked II he could not traverse the
could, but the petitioner will take the
Justice Lippincott then referred the
case to a Supreme Court Commissioner
to take testimony and adjourned the hear
ing until next Friday.

DEVOID OF ANIMAL LIFE.
A Ceaseless struggle Between Fire
and Water In AutarcIfca.

t"The Antartic, then, is a continental
land unique in the world writes General
A. W. Greedy in an interesting article on
What May Be Found at the South Pole"
in the January Ladies' Home Journal"
Its desolate shores, rarely approachable
under most favorable conditions, are laved
by an ocean the richest Oh the globe in its
marine life-animal and vegetable. Seals
and whales in incredible numbers abound
in it's waters, and countless seabirds cover
with nests and eggs the few favored land
spots which are free from snow during the
brief, confortless summer. 1t is a contin-
ent where abounds no land animal life,
either mammals, birds, insects, spiders or
reptiles. No mammal exists within six
hundred miles Of its borders. 1t is also
devoid of land vegetation Except the low
est forms of cellular tissue, lichens, which
nave been found in two places only, hav-
ing neither ferns, Towering plants, shrubs
nor trees.
Here, however, Nature displays her
forces on a scale elsewhere unknown. Over
the millions of square miles of this austral
continent ceaseiessly continues a titanic
struggle between the 'oppesing ancient ele-
ments of fire and water. Inrvain the vol
canoes pour forth streams of molten lava
and shoot upward pillars OF fire. well

Quoting covering of its lower strata OF
