WILL SHE CHOOSE * + BOY OF GIRL? Agonizing Problem Mrs. Elbridge Gerry Snow, Jr, Is Facing Through Stern Decree of Di- vorce Court. ONE CHILD FOR HER, OTHER FOR FATHER. She Has the Choice, and if She Fails to Make It on Time Mr. Snow May Take Either of the Children Away from Her. . Sever was a young mother placed Mm oueh a@ trying positfon as thet in which Mrs. Elbridge Gerry Snow, jr.. finds herself to-day. In the straighten- ing out of her marital troubles she has Drought up a problem beside which all Ber other troubles seam as nothing. In a lttle over threa months she has Bot to choose between her little son Elbridge Gerry, and hr winsome. curly haired itttle zirl, Dorothy Violet. That 4s the stern decree of a stern court to which Mrs, Snow, Inher distress over her domestic troubles,’ rushed for re- lease. Young, beautiful and ‘rich, thie young mother sits to-day In her splen- @id amartments !n La Rochelle, at No 67 West Seventy-fifth street, with her children playing at her feet and won- Gers If it was worth while. She has brought into her life an even Rreater misery than that which she was enduring before, and there Is only @ne way out of {t—a way which cannot even be considered. A reconciliation with. ‘her husband, after all that has passed, {s not possible, say the friends of both, yet in no other way ts this crisis in her life to be overcome, Says the order of the unsentimentat court: Order of the Conrt. “Mrs, Snow may have one of the chil- @ren; her husband the other. Mrs. Bnow has until March 5, 1904, to choose which child she shall keep. If she does not choose by that time, Mr. Snow may, on March 7, 1904, take which child he pleases, leaving the other to the mother, Elther parent may see the shild it ylelds two or three times a week, and once a month may have the child from Friday unt{l Monday. In the event of the death of elther parent the surviv- ang parent shall have both children. Mrs. Snow 1s allowed $250 a month and $2,500 counsel fees, Either party may marry after March 6.” ‘The Snow children are very beautiful, very sweet in disposition, are tremen- Gously popular in =1 Roche and closely resemble their mother.

Through court after court Mr, Gnow has been fighting for the pos- wession of the children and has been as consistently combatted by the mother. The emissaaries of Mr. Snow have hovered about La Rochelle day and might, but have never been able to gx hear the woman or her children. * Mrs. Snow could fight ‘her husband, She could fight his lawyers and their process servers, but now she has a fight which she has got to face and St is a Josing fight for het, because she must Give up one of the children, There Is @bsolutely no dodging the issue.

An Evening World reporter saw her at the home of her parents to-day. She was able to walk, but she could not talk. Her mother said that Jennie had some beer with her dinner last night! and that another woman in the house sent her out after whiskey, but sho pro- feased to be unable to remember the namo of the woman. Chief of Police Murphy sent detec. tives to the tenement in which the Reynolds reside, but: was unable to get any information, He says that it 1s the custom of the people in the house to send little children to saloons for whiskey and deer and that the Rey- nolds child undoubtedly sampled the stuff on her way hame, ked it. ani consumed! “@ilthere was in the bottle. y None of the saloon-keepers in the neighborhood will admit selling beer and whiskey to minors, although there {s a continual procession of children arrying pails and bottles through the stree OLD MAN'S FORTUNE Isaac Cassell Had Made Will !n Favor of His Nephew’s Wife, but No Trace Could Be.Found of His Estate.

Hill, who is the deaf janitor of the Ninth Regi- ment Armory, and who for thirty-five yerrs was drum-major of the regiment. Cassell, alone and practically friend- lees, came to New York and told his nephew that he was without a dollar and asked for shelter, ‘The deaf nephew ‘old him that he was as wel- come as the flowers in spring and that he should make his home there. This pleased the aged uncle and he explained that his story was merely @ test, that he was quite wealthy and that the wished to make a will leaving his property to Hill's wife. This was done Ins: August, C, Arthur Coan, of No. 120 Nassau street, ‘being tho attor- noy, and James J, Broderick, one of his clerks, a witness. Mrs. Hill's son, Willis, was made executor.

It has not yet been learned what became of thy bank account, and the manager of the hotel said that Cassell had just about lived up ail the money he had invested in the hotel.

Police Sergt. Buessen, who had lett the Morrisania station at 4 o'clock to take @ train at the corner of One Hun- Gred and Sixty-first street and Third venue, passed Mrs, Isaacs just as she drained g small bottle of acid. His at- tention was drawn to her by the noise of the broken bottle when the woman threw it from her and it shattered on the sidewalk, She stood in a doorway. + She was swaying and about to fall when the sergeant reached her side, and the faint odor of the carbolic told him what she had done, He gently Igd her on the sidewalk, and at once sent in acall for an ambulance.

Mrs, Isaace seven months ago was a happy wife, rejoicing in the possession of a good home, three charming children and an apparently devoted husband, She lived at No, 643 East One Hundred and Slxtioth street.
