To PAY WIFE Sl00A MONTH. Jus
tice Hagner yesterday passed an order
requiring George G. Henning, president
of the Traders National Bank, of Wash
ington, to pay his wife 800 a month for
her support. The matter came up for
consideration on the answered. Mr.. Hen
ming to the petition filed by his wife
some weeks ago in the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia, asking that
an order be passed compelling her hus-
band to support her. The arguments
of counsel occupied the court the greater
part of its two sessions. In her petition
Mrs. Henning asked the court to enjoin
Mr.. Henning and Miss Alice b. Hen
ming, his daughter by a former marriage,
who is also named as defendant, from
interfering with her in her occupancy of
the premises, 1928 Twentieth street
northwest, Washington. Justice Hag-
ner granted the injunction asked and
yesterday continued it until the last day
of this month. Mrs. Henning stated
that her husband was worth about
$50. 900. This he denied. He said his
personal property is worth about sl7, 900
and his real estate in Virginia about
$500. Mrs. Henning said that
recently her husband ceased to con-
tribute to her support and also stopped
trades people from furnishing her with
articles she desired. This, too, Mr..
Henning denied and says that he not
only paid her grocery bills but also her
servants hire and PHYSICIANS fees.

CASE OF REV. G. F. WILLIAMS.
The Court of Anneals of the District

luc NOuit vi hPPS"io VI WV
of Columbia resumed its sessions for the
winter yesterday, handing down several
decisions, the most important of which
was a reversal of the decision of the
late Judge Andrew Bradley, of the
Supreme Court of the District, in the
case of Rev. Gilbert F. Williams, a
former Episcopal clergyman, against
Rev. DR.. Henry Yates Satterlee, bishop
of the Episcopal Diocese of Washing
ton.
Mr.. Williams, who was connected
with one of the prominent families of
Maryland, was tried in 1897 before an
ecclesiastical court on a charge of violat-
ing his ordination VOWS. He was ad-
Judged guilty of the charge and was ex-
pelled from the church by the Bishop,
who acted upon the findings of the
court.
During last summer Mr.. Williams,
after taking counsel with several able
attorneys, petitioned the Supreme
Court of the District Of Columbia for
writ of certiorari to compel Bishop Sat
terlee to certify the records and finding
of the ecclesiastical court to the Su-
preme Court of the District of Columbia,
which was to pass upon the validity OF
the church tribunal, its organization
and action and the justice of its de-
cision in respect to Mr.. Williams.
Mr.. Williams, through his attorneys,
argued that he had not been given fair
trial, claiming that the ecclesiastical
court was not properly constituted ac-
cording TO the church canons. He al
legged that the court contained less than
the seven members which he said should
constitute such a court. Healso averred
that he had been tried and adjudged
guilty without the opportunity of testi-
fying in his own behalf or Of having an
attorney present. Justice Bradley grant
ed his application for the writ of Ger
tiorari and an appeal was Immediately
granted to Bishop Satterlee to take the
matter before the appellate court. JUS
tice Bradley allowed the case TO advance
to the higher court on a special appeal
because, he said, he desired that full JUS
tice be shown the interested parties.
The great point involved and which
has been engrossing the attention OF
churchmen and lawyers was whether a
civil court had the right to review the
proceedings of an ecclesiastical tribunal
The opinion handed down today in the
writing of Chief Justice Alvey, Of the
Court of Appeals says:
"This question is of more than ordi-
nary importance, and in regard to which
there has been some division of opinion,
though the great reponderance ofauthor-
it7 is against the power and jurisdiction
of civil courts to entertain an application
such as the present. !"
Justice Alvey recited that England,
where the temporal and ecclesiastical
powers are more closely allied, the civil
courts could interfere only where the
ecclesiastical courts assumed power not
belonging to them. In this country, he
declared, where state and church were
apart, it was a question Of great doubt as
to the jurisdiction of civil courts to re-
view ecclesiastical findings.
The Courts of Appeals ordered the
case remanded to the lower court, which
is to dismiss Mr.. Williams petition for
the writ of certiorari.

ACTRESS ATTACKS "MAsHER.

ACTRESS ATTACKS "MASHER." ."
Miss Grace Hobart Hanson, the SOU
brette with "The Tyranny of Tears"
company, now filling an engagement at
Charlotte, n. c., won the plaudits Of
half a hundred guests of the Central Hotel
Yesterday afternoon by her speedy and
forcible demolition of a married 'mash-
er." The victim of Miss Hanson's in
dignation was Col. X. o. Colt, of New
| Haven. CT, son of the inventor of the
machine gun that bears his name. Miss
Hanson was returning to her hotel from
a rehearsal, when Colt, total stranger,
ioined her and persisted in walking be-
side her along a public thoroughfare.
Miss Hanson treated the man with silent
disdain, but, though all the while seek
ing anxiously for an opportunity to es-
cape his attentions, none presented itself
until the main entrance of the hotel was
reached. There Miss Hanson wheeled
quickly, and, with dainty, bejeweled
hand. struck Colt blow full in the face
that sent him reeling from her; then
bursting into tears, she darted quickly
into the hotel, while crowd of travel
ing men and other guests gave vent to
their admiration of her pluck by gallant
ly applauding. Colt retired hastily.
He has made his home in Charlotte for
some years, and his family is among the
most prominent there socially. Miss
Hanson declined to talk of the affair.
: dispatch from Charlotte today casts
some doubt upon the above story.

KRUGER STILL THE IDOL.
Has Not Lost the Affection of His
 Countrymen.

New York, April 11.-Cabling from Utrecht, the London staff corr espondent of The Tribune says there Is no decline in the popularity of former President Kruger, although he lives in seclusion and is seldom seen outside his small factory town. He is surrounded by swarm of relatives and Boer .exiles, sees few visitors and is more phlegmatic and taciturn than ever.
 He is manageable in money mat ters and so deliberate and cautious in ex- pressing his opinion and judgment res pecting South African affairs that ho is seldom consulted by the other Boer leaders. Dr. Leyds is received as the diplomatic representative of the South African Republic and allowed to display his full uniform on State occasions at The Hague. Mir. Kruger is a private citizen living in exile and is not en- couraged to visit the capital or appear in public. Yet he is reverenced through out the Netherlands as hero.
 MT. Kruger is unmistakably aging the dispatch concludes, BIS his followers ad- nit His heart action is better than 1t was and his general health has improved during his residence near Utrecht, but his mind has grown dull and his grim humor has disappeared. He remains the central figure of the Boer refugees, be- cause his personality Is still unrivalled.

THE APRIL FROST OF 1s4e.
The Exact Date and What Happened
 Then.

Editor Constitution:
 see in the Constitution this morning that MT. R. N. Hail. writing from Union- town. Ala, claims that the freeze in 1S49 was on the sixteenth of May instead of sixteenth of April. He says:
 '"The reason I remember the month so well is that I was away from home at the time and clad in thin summer clothes It was on & Sunday afternoon that it turned cold.''
 MT. Halls assertion proves his error. It did turn cold Sunday afternoon: and Monday morning there was hard freeze, lasting three days.
 The sixteenth of April, 1S49. was Mon day; the sixteenth of May, 1S49, fell on ednesday-showing that MT. Hall is mistaken as to time of that memorable event. w. F. Burt.
 Atlanta. Ga, April [, 1902.
 The record kept by the late W. H. Gardner of Mobile, is as follows:
 1S49-February and March mild and sprlnglike, Vegetation, and crops moro advanced than ever known to that gen. eration. Wheat was ripening. Cotton had four to six leaves: corn waist high, and the leaves of forest trees about grown as early as April 15. On that day lSunday) cold, drizzling rain prevailed followed by clear weather, and at night cloud less sky. Monday morning the sixteenth. ice formed on all still water the ground was frozen half an inch deep, and every thing Rreerf~ was killed. Both corn and cotton were replanted.

Why Legislatures sometimes do the sb- surd thing they do is ono of the mysteries which the finite mind is unable to un- rayel. For example, Wisconsin some time since enacted a law placing an ex- port tax on all ice sent out of the State. thus usurping one of the exclusive powers of the general government, for, if @ State can put duty on ice, it can impose an export duty on anything else manu- factured or grown in the State, and by d parity of reasoning it would also put on an import duty, thus having tariff system of its own. Of course the law was declared unconstitutional as soon as it went before a proper court. but what is to be thought of a State Legislature which would enact such a law? And what can be thought of a Governor in his sober sense-if he was sober-who approves such a law? It is hard to im- agine why some of the wild legislation which is continually exposing itself. can get through a legislature not composed entirely of lunatics.

THE PHoBLEus ALIKE UNDER
 ANY METHOD

The Fort Payne Journal suggests tho following troubles in handling a primary undertaking:
 Suppose a white primary is held, will those fellows who have registered with out paying their poll tax be allowed to vote? If they are allowed to vote we may have the result of a nomination made by men who cannot vote to confirm their own nomination. and if not. we have a lot of registered voters who arc. really not vters because they cannot vote. Either way we have the promise of very nice mess ahead of us.
 Those arc ali practical and interesting problems. The Advertiser will not under take at this time to offer solutions of them. But are those problems confined to State primary aione7 Are they not to be faced in any event?
 If the old Convention system is adhered to. therc will be beat primaries or beat meetings. to select delegates to the Coun- ty Conventions. In some instances. cer- talnly. there will be county primaries. The qualifications for participants in the beat or county primaries will have to be determined in some way at some time by some Party authority. So this situa- ton will have to be faced by the State Committee. in any event.
 There is no inherent difficulty in a general State Democratic primary that will not be found in connection with the old system. The only difference will be in deRree. not in Kind, If the State Com mittee takes hold of the situation with boldness and sasacity. it will be easier to solve all these difficulties of eligibility on State scale than to leave them open for varied and irregular rulings in the different counties.
 Tfe Democracy of Alabama needs thorough organization, and it can come only through discipline. uniformity and the application of broad. just principles.
