pear and show cause why she should not
be punished for contempt Of court In hav-
ing removed the two children of the couple
from the Jurisdiction Of the court. Attor-
ney Wilton ]. Lambert appeared for Mrs.
Wilson and presented the latter's answer
After criticising Mr.. Wilson for alleged i'm
proper conduct on his part toward her and
the children since the granting to her Of
decree for divorce, the answer charged that
his association was injurious to them, and
that those with whom he allowed them to
associate were unfit to be their playmates.
Mrs Wilson further alleged that Mr.. Will
son has kept up constant system of es-
plonage upon her and her mother, both in
the night and day, and that since the court
granted her an order last spring enjoining
him from writing her annoying or insulting
letters he has repeatedly violated the order
In this connection letter was read to the
court which had been written by the de-
PENDANT and purported to cast serious re-
Elections upon Mrs. Wilson, and on account
of which tie court was asked to punish
Mr.. Wilson for contempt. Mrs. Wilson ad-
mitted that she had sent the children away
FOR the summer. but said the people who
had charge of them did not want TO be an
noyed by Nj. Wilson. so she withheld the
place of their retreat
Attorney Lambert called the courts at
tention to the fact1that he had filed mo-
ton for Mrs Wilson asking the court to

see the children.
Justice Cote signed an order requiring
Mr. Wilson to show cause the Sd Of Octo-

1t is expected that the next important
naval assignment will be that of Rear Adj
mfral w. 8. Schley to the command of the
South Atlantic squadron. with either the
Chicago or the Newark as his flagship. He
will relieve Rear Admiral Howison. now
on his way to New York on the Chicago.
from a cruise to Europe, Africa and South
America. The change will probably take
effect soon after the arrival of the Chicago
at New York
The vessel is now nearing Barbados. and
will reach New York about the LIST instant.
The South Atlantic squadron now consists
OF the Chicago and the gunboats Mont
gomery and Wilmington. 1t will be increas
ed probably by the cruisers Newark and
Cincinnati. Admiral Schley is now on duty
in this city as president of the naval
firing board. He was offered the command
OF the South Atlantic squadron once before,
but declined it. as he preferred any other
station in the service.
1t Is now said that he will be given no
option in the matter. but will be ordered
to the South Atlantic station. Unless pres
ent plans misCarry it is therefore more
than likely that Admiral Schley will he

Committeeman at Navy Department.

Messrs. Moses and Cox of the executive
committee Of the Dewey reception commit
tee had a very satisfactory interview with
Acting Secretary Allen at the Navy De-
partment this afternoon in regard to an
early meeting with Admiral Dewey on his
arrival at New York city, the purpose of
which is to confer with him regarding the
arrangements for his reception at the ma
tional capital. Mr.. Moses explained that 1t
was the desire of the executive committee
that the special committee representing
the national government and city of Wash
ington should be given an opportunity Of
meeting Admiral Dewey on his arrival at
Tompkinsvlle before he became engrossed
In the demonstrations in mis- honor in New
York city.
The object of this early meeting was to
acauant the admiral with the plans for
his reception In Washington and to confer
personally with him the subject. Acting
Secretary Allen entered heartily into the
spirit of the suggestion and said he would
issue the necessary orders al once to car
~ it into effect. The plan agreed upon was
that the Washington committee, on arriving
at the Jersey City station of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, should embark on naval
tug to be placed at their disposal and car
RED Immediately to Tompkinsvi.le, where
they could await the arrival Of the flag
ship Olympia and board it as soon as 1t

PITTSBURG, September ia meeting
Of the window glass manufacturers inter-
ested in the formation of the trust Is in
session here, and it is said that the nego-
tiatfons for the deal will either be car
ried through or abandoned finally at this
meeting. Many of the options expire to-
day. and this brings the necessity for i'm
mediate action. Arguments on the tempo
rary injunction obtained in the Indiana
courts against the trust by the Workers
Association were to be heard today, but
they have been postponed at the request
of the manufacturers, presumably to await
the outcome of the final effort at combina-
ton
The proposition Is to organize the COM
pany under the old name of the American
Window Glass Company, with a capitaliza-
ton Of $20N0,OU.

VICE PRESIDENT HOBART.

Vice President Garret A. Hobart,
after many weeks of suffering, has join
ed the silent majority. His death robs
the country of the services of a truly
great man. He was one Of the biggest.
Drained and most generous hearted
men In public life, and his career has
ever Leen guided with due regard for
the rights of all people, irrespective of
color, creed or condition. He has ever
been willing to help the unfortunate,
and to bare his breast in protection of
the down-trOdden There was no cant,
or hypocrisy in his make up, No class
OF citizens will more sincerely regret
his untimely taking off than will the
Negro. He has been our friend where
ever he could be effective in our be-
half, and has refused to give his ap-
prOval to those republican leaders who
argue that the party can increase Its
strength In certain sections of the coun-
try by departing from the old moorings
of humanity and equality of citizenship
and leaving the Negro to shift for him
self among powerful antagonists. 1t is
one of the regrettable things, empha
sized by the dissolution of Mr.. Hobart,
that such few friends of the black
man succeed in getting into high office,
and that those who do reach plac of
influence die when we stand in the
greatest need of their commanding he
Ioism. Mr.. Hobart was truly an
American statesman, and one of those
who will be missed.
