UNION { CITY CASE
Rosenblatt May Be Up For Con
 tempt ef Court.

Morris Rosenblatt of Union City was before Judge Robinson in the su- perior court to-day to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court in not complying with the order of Judge Case to pay Mrs Rosenblatt $5 week pending the trial of her divorce suit. Rosen- blatt was defended by Attorney Ken nedy and the plaintiff was represent ed by Attorney Carmody. Rosenblatts defense was that his wife's mother cleaned him out of business, obtained a judgment for $700 against him in the district court and she attached his store. sold his goods worth $1,O00 for $430 at public auction, and left him practically without a cent in the world. Attorney Carmody tried to get him to admit that before the at tachment was made on his store, he had engaged another store in his brothers name, and that he is now a member of the Enterprise company a corcern that Is too start up in Union City next week. Rosenblatt said he is to be merely manager at $S a week and one percent of the gross sales. He said he intends to pay his wife something out of his wages. His brother j. Rosenblatt, is a member of the new concern. He denied re- ducing his stock before the attach. ment was put on or saying that his wife would have merry time in try. ing to get any money out of him Judge Robinson continued the case to next Friday to give the plaintift time to collect evidence to contradict her husbands.

i RRDE-T0-BE NOPE
Dolly" Kempner Runs Away
 and Is Married in Waterbury.

Hartford, March S.-Two days be- fore her wedding invitations were to be sent out and twenty-tw0 days before the ceremony was to take place, Etta Kempner. daughter of Nathan Kempner of 126 Huntington street and sister of David Kempner |of the law firm of Bacharach X Kempner, eloped with another man and her father says that he will never again own her as his child.
 Miss Kempner. who is 23 years old and is commonly called Dolly" by Iher friends, became engaged last spring to Moses Burnstein. neck wear manufacturer of New York, and the wedding was to have been held the 25th of this month. Last Sunday afternoon, dressed in her best clothes and carrying small handbag, she left the house apparently for vlslt with some of her girl friends. She did not return that night and the family sat up until morning, anxious fly awaiting for her. Monday morn ling MT Kempner received telegram from his daughter, sent from Water bury, stating that she had been mar ried to Fred c. Tremmel, salesman for a Boston rug house. She did not say by whom she had been married. Soon after learning that his daugh- ter had broken her engagement to MT IBurnstein, MT Kempner went to New York and found that the rejected |fiance had also received telegram from the girl. informing him that she had married Tremmel at Water bury. According to the Hebrew GUS tom, after Miss Kempner's engage lment was announced last spring, her
 father provided as d0wry, S2.OOO,
 which was put in the hands of the
 bridegroonl- -to-be. In view of the fact that his daughter married another
 man, MT Kempner felt that the i$2,O00 ought to be returned to the family, and MT Burnstein willingly
 assented, so the money was brought
 back to Hartford yesterday when MI
 Kempner returned.
 When the young lady left the
 house Sunday afternoon she wore hel
 best clothes, but took nothing else
 away with her except her jewelry
 and few toilet articles. In the tele-
 gram she sent from Waterbury she told her father that she would come
 back for her belongings. Her father
 says that as Mrs Tremmel she will
 not be welcome but that she will be
 permitted to get her cothes if she
 wishes to.

and under their flags. Thus, John Bull
tolerates slavery, not only in Zanzibar
and in other vassal states Of Africa, but
likewise in India. merely insisting that
no English officials shall be called upon
70 give their support to the institution
by taking any part in the recapture OF
runaway slaves and their return TO their
masters. The United States has. l under

Philippines. France IN her dependencies
Of Cochin China and Africa, and Germany
in her African colonies. The great pow

From the Detroit News
John Langley, who comes to Congress
as a Representative from Kentucky, was
formerly appointed clerk in the Census
Office. He was known and recognized
while in that position as being a slick
artist in not making appointments when
he didn't want to. a story is told Of an
excellent old clergyman from Pennsyl-
vania who called on Langley 20 urge the
appointment of a young lady from that
State. The appointment clerk talked in
such a manner as TO lead the clergyman
to believe u.at the young lady would get
the appointment. Il didn't materialize.

taehed to tiny chain. and pinned on
the lapel OF her coat. a few people frown-
ed. some shuddered. and many more
smiled at the empty brain that suggested
such an adornment.
To-day we have but to cast our eyes on
all sides TO realize that the upper story
Of our younger set is not better furnished
than was that of the matron referred 10.
Not under the head of fads and fancies
should we place the present MANIA but.
rather. follies and fooleries. We refer
principally TO the Teddy bear wave
that is about To sweep the country. and
we wonder where are the fathers and
mothers of the young women who are
posing as such national idiots.
Now, the TEDDY bear" as a toy is a very
pretty, peasing thing for children. 1t is
we'll made, has "A cunning face, squeaks
when punched in the side. and, unlike
most toys, is not easily broken. It can
not hurt even the tiniest tot who drags 1t
around by one foot or throws il vio-
lently across the room.
Girls and Bears.
But there both its beauty and useful
ness cease. 1t was never intended for
a household ornament or a personal deco
ration. Imagine. then, scores of our
young womerr on the streets. and even in
crowded drawing-rOoms. with the little
Presidential press accompaniment snugly
Rugged in their arms or dangling from
their muffs- One young woman, well
known for her absurdities, was recently
seen walking down street wearing a
huge bunch Of viOlets in the midst of
which perched a Teddy bear"
As abominable as the craze is here, we
are yet grateful TO observe that II has
not reached the awful proportions 10
which New York women have carried II,
There it is not unusual TO see women
vying with each other as 10 who shall
carry the most expensive one. In many
instances they are made TO match the
costume, and frequently the richest ma
terials are used in their construction.
Again, we exclaim, What are we coming
