The managers of the Associated Charities held the monthly meeting yesterday after- noon at the central office, 811 G street northwest. There were present Mrs. J. W. Babson, Rev. J. H. Bradford, Col. Archi- bald Hopkins, Mrs. Dr. Hood, Miss K. B. Hosmer, Prof. B. T. Janney, Rev. George O. Little, Mr. F. L. Moore and Miss Flor- ence P. Spofford. Letters were read from Mr. 8. W. Woodward, Mrs. W. H. Baldwin and Mr. L, S. Emery, who were unable to be present. Secretary Wilson's report for May showed that but 160 families had applied for ald during the month. A request was read from the committee of fifty, of which Seth Low of New York is chairman, and prom- inent men, including President Eliot, Prof. Peabody, Carroll D.» Wright and others, asking the Associated Charities to co-op- erate with the committee in furnishing sta- tistics showing the relation between drink and pauperism. The board agreed to furnish such statistics as can be collected in con- nection with the ordinary work of the so- ciety. Secretary Wilson was appvinted a legate to represent the Associated Chari- tles at the national conference of charities and corrections, to be held at Grand Rap- ids, June 4 to 10, _— Asks Alimony. Eudora McLaflin has filed a petition in the Equity Court praying that Edward McLafiln, to whom she was married at Vincennes, Ind., July 29, 1881, be required to pay her a reasonable amount of alimony so long as he refuses to provide a home for and live with her. She says her hus- band {s a pension office clerk, at an annial salary of $1,200, and that he receives a pension of $72 a year. She alleges that be- cause of her husband's immoderate use of intoxicating Mquors she left him in De- cember, 1894, he agreeing to provide her since October, 1895, he has paid her noth- ing. | size $30 a month. But she claims that J Mrs. Slack Givén Oustody of Her Obddren, TWO JUDGES DECISIONS OVERRULED Court of Appeals Acts on the Case. THE POINTS COVERED An opinion was filed in the Court of Ap- peals late yesterday afternoon in the case of Mrs. Mary Kemble Slack against Mrs. Harriet Addie Slack Perrine, in which Mrs. Slack sought, through a writ of habeas ccrpus, to regain possession of her children, two little girls of eight and ten years of age, and the appellate court decides that the decision of the New Jersey court, which awarded the little ones to their mother, must be recognized as binding upon the courts of this jurisdiction. The question of whether the old English statute of Charles IL empowering a father to dispose of the guardianship of his minor children by deed or by will, even to the exclusion of the rights of their mother, was in force and effect here the court found it unnecessary to decide, althought it Intimates that {t was not to the extent claimed on behalf of Mrs. Perrine, But that law has now been re- pealed by an act of Congress, approved by » Presiden nday last. then father of the children, William Hall Slack, died the 2d of last October, and, by a will dated the J2th of last July, he made his sister, Mrs. Perrine, guardian of the children until they reach the age of twenty- one years or marry. He also made them sole and equal bene- ficiarics of his estate, although Mrs. Slack claimed that whatever he died p of was derived sclely from her. of October Mrs. Slack filed a petition the New Jersey courts for the pc of her children by writ of habeas corpus. rs. Perrine, in whose possession the chil- hen were and are, answered Mrs. ‘s petition by claiming -hat the New ey court was without jurisdiction in matter” because, as she alleged, the in the domteile of the children and their father was in the District of ¢ where, she also insisted, the old nglisn statute of Charles Il was in force, and that as her brother had in his will mada her the guardian of the children, the New Jersey court could not interfere with her posses- sion of them. She also charged that Mrs. k not a fit person to have the dren, In the Courts. The case was set for a hearing before the New Jersey court, Vice Chancellor Bird, the 26th of November, but three or four days before that Mrs. Perrine carried the children out of the jurisdiction of court, bringing them to this city. ‘Tn upon the New Jerse ed the custody of the Slack, but issued # jyarrant for the mitment .

Mr k denied that the old English » above referred to was in force here also insisted that the courts here not igrore the decision of the Ne: court, which award her the custody of her little one Judge Hagner, how «r, without passing upon the fitness of 1s. k to have the custody of her chil- dren, held that the ish statute was in force here, and also held that the decision of the New Jersey court was not binding upon the courts here. Thereupon he anted the desired injunction. Mrs. Slack, swever, rendered that order of nq effect by abandoning her contest over her hus- band's will, That done, the habeas corpus proceedings were renewed before Judge McComas they having been stayed by him to await Judge Hagner's decision in the in- ion proc ing inion in the matter himself, Judge Comas dismissed the writ of ‘habeas overruling the demurrer filed by Slack to the Perrines’ answer to the petition for the writ. Thereupon — Mrs. Kk carried the case to the Court of Ap- Messrs. George FE, Hamilton and A. Worthington appearing im her behalf, while Messrs. Carlisle & Johnson and Jere M. Wilson represented the Perrines. New Jersey Decision, After reviewing at length the proceedings in the New Je nd District courts, Mr. Justice Shepard, speaking for the Court of Appeals, says that in the court’s view of the case it is wholly unnecessary to decide whether the oid E sh statute above al- luded to was in force here to the full ex- tent claime viz., that a father of minor children y, ‘by deed or will, transfer thelr exclusive custody and con- trol to a guardian regardless of the fact that their mother, his wife, may be com- petent, willing, and in all respects qualified to maintain, educate and train them prop- or the decision of the case," he continues, “as presented on this record, turns upon the effect that must be siven to the decree of the chancery court of New Jersey.” ‘Then he goes on to say that not only were the children in New Jersey and were din court there, but that the Per- rins were both citizens of that state. domi- ciled therein, were there served with pro- s, and there apeared in person and by counsel. Therefore, the first question is, can the doctrine of res judicata be founded on re rendered in such a proceeding? er discussing habeas corpus proceedings Mr. Justice Shepard says the writ neces- sarily becomes widened in the case of minor children, the contests In such cases generally concerning the conflicting rights of claimants to the custody and control of such children, rather than the mere ques- tion of the rights of the children to be dis- charged from an illegal restraint. There- fore, the court sees no reason why the principle of res juéficfta_ should not apply to the judgment ofthe New Jersey court. In fact, the doctrine applies with stronger reason to that judgment because the New Jersey court had, ft addition to concurrent jurisdiction with -thé, courts of law in habeas corpus, g@neral jurisdiction over minor children, be Dangerous Precedent. That the decree musi be given the same effect in other jurisdictions that it would have in New Jersey; the Court of Ap- peals says, Is well settied, and a decision of the United Stited’ Supreme Court is quoted in support ‘of that proposition. Mr. Justice Shepard a’ks“in that connection: “If the contention’ as,‘regards the loss of jurisdiction, by reasof{ of the removal uf the children from,New Jersey, were sus- tained by this court, what assurance have we that our judgment in this case may not be rendered elfually vain with that of the chancery court of New Jersey? The children might be spirited away into Mary- land or Virginia and the same contention made in the courts of those states as to the effect of the judgment in this jurisdic- tian. We apprehend that those courts would give effect to the decree here in so far as the rights of the contestants are concerned. We will, at least, furnish them no precedent for different action,” The New Jersey court, explains Mr. Jus- tice Shepard, adjudged Mrs.Slack’s right to her children, under their father's will, es superior to the Perrines’, and until reversed or set aside, that judgment, even if er- Troneous, must remain a bar to the asser- tioh of any claim under said will by them as against Mrs. Slack. It is true, though, that in so far as the chiliren are concern- ed, the right of their mother to their per- manent custody and control has not been settled by that decree. ‘hair rights cannot be concluded or prejudicsd by it, and their welfare is a matter of paramount consider- ation at all times and under all circum- stances. Whether rightfully or wrongfully, the children are here, ani, therefore, with- in the jurisdiction of the District courts for the purpose of necessary care and protec- tion by them. But the fitness or unfitness of their mother to have the permanent care and control of them is not a matter kefore this court (the Court of Appeals). So, if, wken they shall have bean delivered to her in accordance with the opinion of the court, It may be made to appear, to the satisfaction of a court having jurisdiction in the premises, that she !s not a proper person to be intrusted with the care and education of her own children, other pro- vision may be made therefor. Judge McComas Overruled. The Court of Appeals, therefore, reverses the judgment of Judge McCcrras, end dl- rects that the case be remended to him for proceedings in conformity with the opinion of the appellate court. Mr. Chief Justice Alvey, however, dissented in toto from the majority opinion of the ccurt, sgyin; “I think the order dismissing the applica tion for the writ of habeas corpus should be aflirmed. I will file the reesons for this dipsenz hereafte: In the injunction proceedings before Jude Hagner, after he had rendered his decision, Mrs. Slack pleaded the action of the New Jersey cocrt. The plea was stricken out, and that order the Court of Appeals also reverses, remanding the case back for proceediags in conformity with its decision, While it is generally admitted, of course, that the decisicn of the Court of Appeals will have the effect of placing the children In the custody ard control of Mrs. Slack, {t is understcod that Mrs. Perrine will continue the contest for their possession until the case 1s finally determined.

It clearly demonstrates that dominance of the mother heart, mated to the masterful brain, by which the Cornelias of Christlan- ity and the Jeanne d’Arcs of the twentieth tury ‘shall hold their own’ tn equal =tep with sons and brothers; less they will not accept, more they will not desire. “The first question asked will naturally be: ‘What good 1s it expected to accom- plish?” First, it will give that added sense of power that comes of numbers. “A woman's natural W. C. T. U., suc! we are trying to develop, will in ten have acquired by its helpful work a pc that will make it the strongest organized force in the world. The British Medical Association, most of the poor law guardians and many of our ecclesiastical bodies are unanimous in considering that compulsory legislation for the detention of inebriates is the only means of dealing with the evil. “We hold as strongly as ever to the be- lief that the grace of God in the heart ts the most searching and radical of all remedies. The public house, as such, must exist for awhile. Let us do all we can to draw the poisoned fangs wherever {t 13 practicable, in order to pave the way for that time when the people in general will see that alcohol is a destructive and not a constructive agent in our social life. “There seems to be a Mkelihood of our obtaining one practical piece of legislation in the immediate future, and that is Sun- day closing. I must confess, however, that while I believe that Sunday closing in’ Eng- land would be of great value, I should pre- fer our friends to limit thelr'efforts in the cfties, at any rate, to close the public hous save for one or two hours on Sunday. I should like this exception made because I believe that otherwise we should have what would be distinctively class legislation, and so long as it is not practicable to close the club of the rich man, which is in effect his public house, I do not think that we have any right absolutely to close the public house of the working classes, except by their own vote. “You and I, my comrades, are workers in this cause because we feel that a new standard has been raised: because we feel that the new woman will demand from a man the purity that he asks of her. We are here because we believe that in this dawn- ing century. the economic indenendence of woman will be a fact and not a fiction; that woman will hold in her hand the bread- earning weapon, by which she will be able to maintain herself until the day comes when, not from necessity, wut from choice, she links her life with that of the one whom she loves best; when we shall no more talk of whether a man can make a good pro- vision, but rather whether two souls meet in that divine sympathy and that mutual understanding that alone makes marriage sacred. It is because of these considera- tions that we believe there yet shall pass away the figure that Is the most sorrowful of all from the stony streets of shame, which she now treads. The woman who, by rea- son of her own devotion and the depravity of man, Is held captive by the heaviest chain that ever weighed upon the weary limbs of any slave. We have a good report from the department of organization. One hun- dred and eight branches have been organ- ized in England and South Wales by means of which a membership of over 3,000 has this year been added to the association. Scotland has organized thirty branches and North Wales thirty-six; total additions, one hundred and thirty-four.” —_ Commencement Exercises.
