WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
Colonel Breckenridge Says the Compro-
mise Story is Wholly False.

LEXINGTON, KY, Dec. 2Z.-Colonel
Breckenridge arrived here tonight from
Washington and seen by a reporter
at his residence shortly after his arrival.
In response to query regarding the re-
ported compromise of the Pollard breach
OF promise suit the Colonel said:
THE pretended report that there has
been any compromise of the suit is a lie
out of the whole cloth. without a thread
or truth. There has been no communica-
ton, no negotiations or settlement, nor have
l any idea where the plaintiff is now. So
far as / am concerned there has not been
at any time the slightest foundation for
the report"
Upon being asked If he would be a. can
didate for reelection he replied II have
in every form announced myself as a cam
didate, and every man in the district is so
aware. Nothing but death will end my cam
didacy until after the nomination. of which
l am certain"
From the emphatic manner in which tho
Colonel made this announcement IL left the
impression that he had intended reslgnine,
should he win the nomination.
Miss Pollard is not in the CITY as re-
ported from Washington. Mrs. Hoyt her
friend, with whom she always stops while
here, says she has received no intimatiOn
that Miss Pollard intends coming here soon

1t is no lawful; they have no right to do
it: but they have no society to satisfy a
hunger for the beautiful with jewels
and fine dresses on others if not on
themselves. They cannot afford the
theaters: they go to the shops. They
look at the laces and long. they
go to the embroidery counters and
fancy: they educate themselves in the
matter of India shawls: they seek the
silkroom. brilliant with gas lights and
electric lights. and look at brocades fit
for the court of IA princess. at silks whose
f1amboyant s~carletS burn in the illulni-
nation. whose tender blue is the blue II
spring skies half robbed Of rain. whose
green is the breaking wave of the sea.
whose violet is the hue Of mountains far
away in autumn mists. and they picture
themselves or those they love robed and
radiant in these tissues. And if the poor
shopnlan is weary when they go away.
they themselves are refreshed for a long
season Of further denial and renuncia-
