ATTACKS DITORCE RULING.
JUSTICE BARRETT IN DISSENTING. WRITES
A sCATH1NG OPINION.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court
yesterday handed down decision in the divorce
case OF Harris p Osterhoudt against Ella H. Oster-
houdt The husband got divorce on statutory
grounds, but the custody OF the two infant chill
dren was awarded TO the defendant The plaintiff
appealed from the judgment, far as the custody
Of the children was concerned. but the Appellate
Division now aff1rms the judgment 10 that extent.
The couple married in 1879. and lived to-
sether until 1895 In 1895 Mrs Osterhoudt obtained
divorce in North Dakota on the ground Of failure
TO provide the necessares of life, and was subse-
quently married to James Wilson in New-Jersey.
The children are daughters born in 1881 and
the other in 1887 The majority of the court in an
opinion by Justice Ingraham, holds that under all
the circumstances the children likely to be
as well cared for by the mother by the father.
He made allegation against her character be-
yond the fact OF her remarriage after the Dakota
divorce.
Justice Barrett dissents. He says:
This is l apprehend the first time in the judicial
history of any civilized country when the custody
of the children has been denied to the innocent
plaintiff in a divorce suit and granted to the guilty
defendant
The Justice then reviews the contention OF the
defendant. and says of the argument her behalf:
This is nothing but a specious plea for the laxity
of the marriage relationship. and It is unsound
as it is vicious. The defendant made no mistake"
herself from the husband she had ceased to love
and to ally herself TO another.
The Justice then tells of her marriage in Jersey
City after the Dakota proceedings. Besides
being married to Wilson in Jersey City by the
Mayor, she afterward had a religious ceremony
two days later, at West Hampton, Long Island
Under the New-York law Justice Barrett thinks
this second marriage puts the woman in the serious
position of probably being guilty OF bigamy. He
continues
1t seems to be a shocking judicial conclusion that
the moral training of these two young girls is to
he intrusted to who, to speak moderately, has
reached her goal in the manner which this record
discloses. Are these children then to be taught
TO hate their blameless father and to love his
cessor? Are they to learn they grow up that
there is inherent sanctity in the marriage bond
that duty is old fashioned notion, that the desire
OF the heart or the craving of the senses is the
essential thing and that ali acts righteous that
lead to their qualification?
Justices Rumsey and O'Brien concurred with
Justice Ingraham. Presiding Justice Van Brunt
ccncurred with Justice Barrett.

An editorial discusses the defeat in the de-
bate with Harvard and laments the absence of any
course in practical debating in the Princeton cur
ricuum. There is a movement on foot to establish
such and to obtain instructor in pub

Reynolds performs at Yale. Princeton has usually
excelled in argument, but the instructions to
the judges of the intercollegiate debates puts form
par with matter.

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
NEW COURSES IN THE SCHOOL OF APPLIED

Three new alternatives in the fourth year of the
mechanical engineering course at Columbia Uni
Yersty have been established by the faculty of
applied science They are in marine engineering
naval architecture and locomotive engineering
Professor Hutton. dean of the School of Applied
Science, is of the opinion that the course Of loco
motive engineering be given without additional
expense to the university. The optional courses in
marine engineering and naval architecture may
however. call for the appointment Of an instructor
There seems to be objection to the establish
ment of the courses from a financial standpoint
for the statistics OF the department show 1t TO be
in an excellent condition. The mechanical engi-
neering department course has been established for
three years and during the period of its existence
so far as current expenses concerned It has
produced 1880 in excess of its cost This year II
is paying profit OF $780, and next year although
there Will be an additional outlay 1t will be paying

corning this course are interesting. The university

assistant general manager of the Thiel Detective
Service said this morning:

that Miller arrested In Canada. / don't be-
lieVe that Miller has been in Canada since his al
legged disappearance from New-York and / don't
believe that Captain Reynolds has been in Canada
this month. My firm belief is that Miller never
out Of Brooklyn and that the police knew where
be was, and that finally they were Obliged TO yield
20 public opinion and produce him. To save them
selves. Captain Reynolds disappeared for few
lays and returned with this childish story of his
arrest of Miller in Montreal. Chief Carpenter of

Miller never IN the city.

A NOVEL INJUNCTION SUIT.
TO PREVENT THE EXPULSION OF A
GIRL FROM SCHOOL.

Father objected to 13-Year-0ld
Daughter Debating an Abstruse
subiect-Court Enjoined the school
Principal From ExpcIIinE Her.
Principal Then Carried the Case TO
the Supreme Court where II was
Argued Yesterday.
Atlanta. July 25.-The Supreme Court
to-day heard argument in a queer case
from Cedartown. 1t was an injunction
suit to prevent the president Of the sam
uel Benedict Memorial school from ex-
polling one OF the girl pupils for refusing
to prepare and read a debate on the ques-
ton, Resolved. THAT the American sys-
tenn of Jury trials should he abolished"
1t seems that Dr. William Bradford,
prominent citizen of Cedartown, had
daughter IS years old attending the school
there which received the pro rata share
of the school fund, making it public
school. Some time in the spring the girls
teacher. Prof. Hunt, informed her that
she would have to prepare a debate on
the question stated. The girl went home
and told her father of the debate, and he
concluded the subject was too deep one
for young girl 60 discuss,
Dr. Bradford refused to allow his
daughter TO prepare the debate, and he
and the president had some warm CORE
spondence on the subject President Ben
edict remained firm, however. and Just
before the time given the girl to prepare
her paper expired, DR. Bradford secured
a temporary injunction preventing the
president from eXpelling his daughter.
When the case came up for hearing
permanent injunction was granted.
DR.. Bradford claimed that the prescrib-
ed course of study in the school did not
embrace debating. and for that reason his
daughter could not be compelled to pur-
sue a course of study not outlined. An
other objection of his was that both the
apology of his daughter and himself had
been accepted by the faculty, and he
thought that excused the girl. Another
was that the question was too deep for
girl whose mind was not fully fnatured.
President Benedict was not satisfied with
the injunction. and took the case to the
Supreme Court.
