Judge Hadley said: "It waa a question for the court to determine what was best for the child, and In determining this question th apparent conduct and demeanor of the parties seeking her custody would necessarily have aa influence. It was charged In the petition that th child was kept in an unclean condition; that Its aurroundinsw were bad. Tbe sppesrance of the people who had the care of the child might prove this allegation beyond question without a word of oral testimony, a Yvhso appellant and appellee wer divorced their child became, in a sense, a ward ot the court.

CASTRO GETS TART NOTE FROM THE NETHERLANDS THAT DECREE OF MAY 14 MUST BE REVOKED. CASTRO DEMANDS APOLOGY CARACAS, Venezuela, September 29.

"The revocation of the decree of May 14 Is demanded In tbe moat energetic mannerthe government ot Venezuela must from tlis moment and delay fulfill the protocol of 1894 and not prolong ths intolerable state, of affairs whioh it has created by the decree ot May; These are the words of the Minister fpr Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands in his note of August SO, In which he answers Venesuela's commanloatlon telling of the summary dismissal of Minister De Reus from Cars cat. M. Van Swindaren. the Foreign Minis ter of Holland, began his reply to President Castro by acknowledclna the era 1 1 of the offense committed by M. Reus and saying that ths Netherlands government would Immediately have recalled him or Its own Initiative If It had seen the offensive publication, but that President Castro had taken Justice Into bis own bands by violating International custom and summarily sipeUlns; the minister without asking; forhi recall.

And Without Delay. The note goes on to say that, after the renewal of friendly relations Is established, "the celebration of a definite treaty of arbitration, and a consular and commercial convention, which will be the surest means of arriving at the deslrsd end. shsll be submitted to subsequent consideration. But ths government of Venesuela must from this moment and without delay ahow it knows how to appreciate in Its real value the maintenance of the protocols seriously celebrated, in 1894 and which from ths basis of our relations, as well aa th obligations Incurred by th Netherlands and faithfully lived up to, and that it does not wish to compromise its existence by prolonging the Intolerable state of affairs which it has created by the decree of May 14." President Castro waa away at Valencia when thla note was presented by Baron von SeckendorfT the German minister, snd he told Dr. Paul, his Foreign Minister, to acknowledge receipt and to await the second note from Holland, which It was known was soon to arrive.

This second note came In the middle of September, but because of President Castro's illness it bad not been answered on September 29. although tt waa generally understood here that Venezuela would not give in to any of Holland's demands. Insists on, Apology. Venezuela' takes the stand that, until a satisfactory apology and Indemnity sre forthcoming from the Netherlands government for the insuljtlng letter of the late Minister De Reus and for the stoo-lng ot the Veoesuelaa consul by the Curacao mob, Holland hss no right st all to make any demands of thla country. Although the Netherlands note asks for the Immediate revocation" of th trans-ehlpment decree, it haa but reported tha the second note fixes the date ot Novem ber 1 aa the time when this must be done, thus giving th note the nature of am ultl- malum.

no knows President Castro believes that this demand will have any other effect then still further to Incense President Castro against Curacao, and nobody would be at all surprised if his answer was more vigorous and determined that the Netherlands government expects or will like. That Venetueia is being- prepared to resist Invasion snd that the many bla coast defense runt have beam mad ready for sn emergency is common knowledge down bere. GIRL, FAINTS IN COURT.

BOTH PARTIES FIGHTIIiC FOR THE LnCOR VOTE LEADERS THINK ELECTION RESULT HINGES ON WORKERS. MUCH SILENT WORX imperial to lit Isdiaaaslis Nawa) NEW TORK, October 13. The labor vote la the factor on which the outcome of the election now turns. This Is the statement frankly made by managers at both national headquarters, to-day. Both crowds aurw nervous and worried.

The Democrats make mdr show of confidence, but the Reptibt-cans seem to be doing the most work. President Roosevelt haa practically taken chartre of th fight for th labor vot and ha put into th tield aa immense number of labor leaders who ar his personal and political friends. The national and tate committee of both parties are also keeping out just as many men aa they can command and floors. on th same work. These men.

for the larger part, ar not making speech. They are quietly going- about talking to the men and trying- to convince theru by personal appeal. Fear la Genuine. Ohio la the center of labor disaffection, and this Is the feature which gives the Republican their fear ot that Stat. There Is no doubt that tha fear is genuine.

No effort is xnada to conceal It, though It Is declared conditions are now Improving-, and' that ths string seems to have set In In a fashion which gives ground to hope it wlil continue to the end. The "Republicans have- felt out centers of disaffection in labor rank with the Gompers political program, and sre work-ins hard to make the most of this condition. There are many Jealouslee among the leaders and would-b leaders, ia aald. which mak It difficult for Gompers to hold his force. Maay labor paper would oppose the Gompers program.

It is said, but for the fact that their charters ss official organs depend on tbe good will of the national leauiora A Democratic Claim. A "Republican manager said to-day: "The Democrats, through Vice-Chairman Hudspeth. to-day put out a claim to about every State, with an important labor vote. He said: 'We placet now in our sure Democratic list the States of Nsw York. Maryland.

Ohio. West Virginia. Indiana and Nebraska. Ths debatable States are New Jersey, Connecticut Rhode Island. Illinois and Wisconsin.

From Illinois our report of this morning la that Bryan sentiment is now at fever heat and while tbe State waa regarded as doee ta-o weeks aaro, our people make very strong claims that we shall carry It "In Connecticut the Oerman. labor and colored vote ar wtrh ua and never-had them before.

Republican headquarters decline -to make comment on Mr. Hudspeth's statement, except to observe that Chairman Hitchcock recently made a statement claiming most of the State which Huds- petn calls now uemocratio and oouDtrul.

It was observed, however, that Mr. Hudspeth a week sgo claimed New Jersey as certain to go Democratic, while he now rates it "debatable.

Democratic candidate for judge of tbe Circuit Court.

Indorsed practically all planks tn the platform. With reference to the suggestion of the rlatform. that the auditor be reoulred audit before nvakinar settlement, he said common business sens would dictate that and that the present law provides for it. Throughout the State, lie nail, no doubt County Commlloners are not sufficiently paid. They should give bond, he said.

On this point, and relerring to another plank of the platform, he aald any person who handlea funds ahould give adequate bond. He favors straight salaries for all ofticea. "The present law with regard to public oncers profiting from public ron-tracta," he said, "should be strengthened and simplified and Violation should be made a folonv. "Th county boarding-house (ths jallV should be a county institution, not private institution, run for the profit of the sheriff. He should not make a cent, directly or Indirectly, on meals, and.

of course, the county should not profit. "There Is no good reason why the rrose-cutlng sttorney and his deputies should not on a salary, saute awi other county offlclala. Aa far aa the Incumbent la concerned. I know that' the matter of fees has not entered into a single ct tried since hs became prosecutor. Whenever the court hss seen fit to suspend sentence the prosecutor's fe has gone with It.

and there has never been a rase dismissed le-cauae of the payment Of the proaecutor's fees. For Jury System Reform. I favor the reform of the Jury system. The judge of the Circuit Court is now directly responsible for the selecting and drawing of jurors for the entire county, lie has It absolutely under his control. He can hsve each snd every man personally investigated to nscertaln his qualincattons and hla ntneaa for rvlce.
