out by case now before the courts The family Of
the KinS OF Naples is seeking obtain an intunc-
ton restraining certain Henri-Gabriel Richard
from using the title OF Count OF Bari BY a de-
cisiou OF the French courts Richard IS recognized
having no right to the title in question. but
he continues to bear IL on the pretext that the
exequatur has rot yet been pronounced by the
Italian courts.
From the evidence 1t appears that tho pseudo
count is the OF a dancer at the opera, named
Mile de Marconnay. He was born In 1866. and reg
istered under the name of Henri-Gabriel Richard.
In 1878 the dancer made the acquaintance OF the
Count OF Bari. brother OF Francis II. King OF
Naples. and OF the Count of Caserta. who married
her. Two years after he recognized Richard
his under the French law, by which chill
dren born before marriage can be legitimatized The
Tribunal of the Seine annued this legitma tia tio
In 1894 the ground that the Count OF Bari having
been born in 1852. could not be the father of Rich
ard. This decision has been alternately reversed
and confirmed by various courts

MRS. VAN ALSTYNE WINS.
Gets DiUorce and Custody of Child
Criticised by Justice.

After hearing all the evidence IN the case yes
terday. Justice O'Gorman. application Of
Maurice Meyer. her counsel, confirmed the YER
dict of the jury that granted absolute divorce
to Mrs Guy Chase Van Alstyne. and at the
same time awarded the custody Of the child
Darcy to her and fixed alimony at $50 month.
In his decision the justice said that IL the
child had been eight or ten years old he would
have been very much inclined not TO commit
him to the care OF Mrs. Van Alstyne."
Credible testimony" he declared shows
her conduct not to be entirely that of a proper
person TO for a young child. She has ex-
posed herself to very grave suspicion as 10
her conduct, and I think that the father has
been right perhaps in seeking the removal Of
the child from her custody. But think that
the evidence OF the last witness has shown that
the plaintiff has not had fair chance. She
has been close to the precipice-very close"
Mrs Van Alstyne admitted drinking, but swore
that she never Intoxicated. The last wit
ness referred to by Justice O'Gorman was Mrs
Margaret Maughan. sister of General Custer
She said Mrs. Van Alstyne was good pure
womanly woman that she might have made mis-
takes, but that they were due to the fact that
she did not have a fair chance.
