carry out that motto, we have a

GLADMON DIVORCE CASE,
Order of Court Concerning the TAX
ing Of Testimony

The Gladmon divorce case, which has
been kept before the public more or less
prominently for several months past, has
taken new and sudden turn by the de-
parture of the defendant, DIR. Edwin Glad
mon, from the city, and consequently from
the jurisdiction of the District Equity
Courts. Mr.. Birney, attorney for Mrs. Mar
garet B. Gladmon, who brought suit
against her husband, and who, after a legal
light, has obtained custody of her children,
appeared today before Justice Bradley, in
Equity Court No ?, asking for decree re-
scinding the former order of the court with
regard to the taking of testimony. Mr.
Birney said he was informed that DR.. Glad
mon had left the city with the intention of
not returning, for the purpose of escaping
the payment to his wife of $75 monthly ALI
mony ordered by the court.
Mr. Edwin Forrest, attorney for Dr.
Gladmon, was in court, and declared that
all he could say in answer was that he had
received letter from his client in which
he stated that he had left Washington per-
manently. The order asked by Mr.. Birney
was granted.
DIR. Gladmon was engaged for some years
III this city as practicing specialist, en-
JoyinS a luci iative clientele. At one time he
conducted quite an extensive sanitarium.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
Demolition of Church Edifce-Police
Changes-Personal

Workmen commenced this morning to de-
molish the West George town NJ. E. Church,
! located at the southeast corner of 35th and
L streets. This place ceased to be a house
of worship last November, when the rep
resantatives of that congregation and Of
the congregation Of the mother church. the
Dumbarton Avenue NJ. E. Church. united in
| a deed conveying the property TO Mr. Co.
lumbus Thomas, from whom il was recent
ly purchased by Mr.. George W. King. The
cor grs CATION had grown so small that it
became impossible to support the church
and pastor, and it was deemed best for
West End Methodist interests to dispose Of
it. 1t is understood the proceeds of the
sale will be devoted to the purchase of a
suitable site beyond the corporation limits
OF Georgetown upon which a new church
Will be constructed.
The present owner of the property has
plans drawn up for the erection of a hand
some two-story store and dwelling con-
tanning eight rooms and store, the entire
mouse 10 be thirty feet square, and con-
tain all modern improvements. 1t viii be
decided architectural addition to that
PORTION of Georgetown, being nearly op-
posite the new Western High School. Con-
nors & Culloty are the builders
The changes recently made in the George
town police station seem to be misunder-
stood Policemen Harry and Matthews,
who were made sergeants, will not be at
tached to the seventh precinct for duty
They will most likely be detailed to the
ninth precinct, in Northeast Washington.
Sergt. Haney and Sergt. Myers of the sew
enth, who were reduced to privates in the
second class will be given detail work. The
latter will have charge of the patrol SER
vice in the third precinct, while the for-
nier will be placed at the Zoo, though there
is some likelihood of this detail being
changed. Policeman Fritz Passau and Po-
iceman Sprinkle of the first precinct, have
been made acting sergeants for George
town. They entered upon their duties yes
terday.
Mr.. E. J. Birch of the Georgetown post
office, accompanied by his family, is at
Colonial Beach, Va, where a vacation of
several weeks will be spent.

Miss Fannie, left today for Philadelphia
to visit Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Swain.

The balloon ascension and parachute
drops made by pretty Miss Retta Danzell
of the Grace Shannon Balloon Company at
River View have so greatly pleased every
one that Capt. E. s. Randall has received
numerous requests to have the young lady
repeat the ascensions, and while he had
concluded to let yesterdays ascension be
the last one, he finally determined to yield
to these requests and has secured Miss
Danzelrs services for two more sky-high
trips on tomorrow and Saturday after

at the reception that has been given her by
the Washington people, and on both days

OVERCOATS FORWARDED.
Protecting District Troops Against
Radical Change in Temperature.

Radical Change in Temperature.
Quartermaster General H. H. Parmenter
of the District National Guard has shipped
$50 overcoats to Mcntauk Point, Long Is
land, to await the homecoming of the 1st
District Volunteer Regiment. Upon the
arrival of the District regiment at Camp
Wikof the military great coats will at
once he distributed among them to be worn
during their early morning work. Mon
tauk Poirt is directly on the ocean, and it
is reported that at night and in the early
morning the temperature takes such drop
that the men who campaigned at Santiago
shiver and shake like many men with
the chills. Major Parmenter, hearing this,
decided that the District men should have
overcoats that they might be protected
from any chance of pneumonia bad
colds. When the regiment left for Cuba the
overcoats were left behind, there being no
need for such apparel in the tropical zone.
Returning from a hot climate, weakened
by disease and privat tions, the soldiers
might easily be affected by the sudden
change and become victims of some lung
trouble. The cvercoats. however will be
a great preventive and will doubtless be
gladly welcomed by the homeward bound
District troops.
