The Journal told. Saturday morning.
of the petition that had been filed with
the probate court for the custody Of
the minor child. Harold Howe. by his
father. Bandmaster Howe. and il
stated that the child was given to the
mother at the time of the divorce of
Mr.. and Mrs. Howe. This was an
error, it seems from what has been
learned since. as it is stated that
Harold was given to neither of the
two. The mother ut the time took the
two little girls, and the father the boy,
the mother herself coming to Augusta
and bringing Harold to the grand
mother. SO neither the father or
mother has more claim than the Other
to the child. This latest action is on
the part Of the father to get undis-
puted possession.

member of the insurgent congress at

A SELF-MADE MAN.
Faure Worked His Way Up From the
Common People.

Washington, Feb. 16.-The news of
the death of President Faure did not
reach Washington until after the close
of Office and the adjournment of con-
gress. Consequently the fact did not
become generally known during the
evening. and Secretary Hay said to-
night that no official information had
reached him concerning the French
presidents death.
A reporter of the Associated Press
carried to NJ. Thiebaut. the French
charge in the absence of NJ. Cambon,
the news of President Faure's death,
which was the first information he had
received of it. NJ. Thiebaut was great
~ surprised and grieVed at the news.
NJ. Faure, ne said, was a self-made
man, who had risen from the common
people to the high position he occupied
at the time of his death. After being
we'll educated, he started into business
and gradually worked his way until
he amassed considerable money. He
spoke English fluently.
The constitution of France provides
that upon the death of the chief eya-
cutive a successor shall be chosen ia
mediately and within few days q
joint meeting of both branches of the
French legislature will be held at Yer
sailles for that purpose.
