BERT P0PPER SENTENCED.
Two Years and Eight Months for
Marrying Mrs. Hallock.
He Deserted Her In Chicago and
She Killed Herself.

Berthold Pepper, the ex-usher OF the
Academy, who was convicted in Janu-
ary last of unlawfuily marrying Mrs
Leila A. Hallock, the wife of Charles II
HallOck Of Mortchcs, l.. l., on Sept. g..
1898, was sent to the State prison for
two years and eight months by Judge
Fitzgerald. in Part III. Of the General
Sessions to-day.
Mrs. Hallock became infatuated with
Pepper and clope1 with him TO Chicago
They registered at the Gault House as
Mr.. Hastings and wife. The day after
their arrival there he deserted her and
took with him what little money and
jewelry she had
Realizing her position and being
ashamed to return. Mrs. Hallock COM
mltted suicide. This was the first news $
her husband had of her whereabouts.
The matter was reported to Inspector
Mclaughlin and he detailed two detec-
tivcs on the case. After weeks of
search they traced Pepper to San Fran
cisco. where he was arrested. He fought
against cxtraditiun for a time, but the
courts decided against him.
Peppers defense was that no legal evil
dence had been submitted to prove the
marriage between him and Mrs. Hallock,
and there was no proof that the Mrs.
Hall1Ck. who appeared before Alderman
" Soicr" Flynn was the wife of Charles
H. HalloCk.

A DANGEROUS DEFENSE.

The plaintiffs case was closed yester-
day in the Pollard d-Breckinridge trial for
breach OF promise, and the counsel for
Col. Breckenridge, in an opening ad-
dress outlined to the jury the defense
on which their verdict would be asked
The boldness of the assertions made
by the counsel occasioned some astonish-
mcnt In the court. The jury were told
that Col Breckinridgo claimed and
would "corroborate by his solemn oath"
not only that he had never made any
promise of marriage to Miss Pollard,
but that every advance In their guilty
relations with each other had been made
by her to him; that he had never been
told OF her having become n mother
through him until after the commence
ment of the present suit. and that she
had herself proposed to go to the Guess
house with him. explaining that she
knew the place.
Unless these allegations are suscepti-
bile OF unquestionable proof, 1t will be
most unfortunate for the defendant that
they have been made. No act with which
he Is charged would, IL clearly estab-
lished, be hundrcdth part as repre-
hensible and dishonorable as the ad-
vancement of such a plea unless strictly
true
The thought will doubtless occur to
many, How could man of honor have
introduced Miss Pollard to his friends
OF both sexes as young woman Of
character and worth II her acts had been
such as he now alleges?

Science explains the phenomenon of
red hair thus: 1t is caused by a super
abundance of iron in the blood. This
1t is that imparts the vigor, the elas-
ticity, the great vitality, the overfowing
and thoroughly healthy animal life that
runs riot through the veins of the ruddy-
haired. and this strong, sentient animal
life is wnat renders them more intense
in all their emotions than their more
languid FELLOW creatures. The excess of
iron Is also the cause of freckles on the
peculiarly clear, white skin which al
ways accompanies red hair. The skin is
abnormally sensitive to the action of the
suns rays, which not only bring out
the little brown spots in abundance. but
also burn like a mustard plaster, pro-
ducing a queer, creepy sensation, as If
the skin were wrlnkled up.

NEW JERSEY MIDDLE ENDED.

The Supreme Court OF New Jersey has
rendered a decision favorable to the regu-
larity and legal status Of the Republican
Senate, and sustaining the validity of
Mr.. Rogers's title OF President of the
Senate. The opinion is written by Chief
Justice Beasley, and is concurrcd in by
all the Justices except Justice Albeit
who will prepare and file dissenting
opinion at later day
The main points of the decision are
two First. 1t sustains the jurisdiction
OF the Court and its power to grant
the writ of quo warranto under exist
ing circumstances, while disclaiming the
slightest legal faculty to supervise or in
terfere with the legislative body when
the latter does not violate the provisions
Of the Constitution The second point Is
that 1t sweeps away the claim that the
Senate of New Jersey Is a continuous
body.
The common sense view of ,he case
IL that which the people best understand,
and this is in harmony with the decision
OF the Supreme Court. At the last cleo
ton a certain number of Senators were
elected The people chose a majority OF
Republican candidates large enough when
joined over with the holdover portion
of the body to make the Senate Republi-
can. The Democrats happened to have
majority of the holi-over Senators. and
they sought by some technical claims to
seize political control Of the new Senate
and to organize 1t in the Interest OF their
own party.
on whatever ground this policy was
ho nnthipg lpal N
an attempt to thwart the viii of the
people and to reverse the verdict IF the
ballot-box. The people said the new
Senate should be Republican. The Demo
Gratis said 1t should be Democratic.
In sustaining the Republicans the Su-
preme Court has sustained the people.
Hence. the decision will meet the ap-
proval of all but partisans.

TROUBLE MAY BE EXPECTED.

The Assembly passed the Bipartisan
Election Inspectors bill yesterday, pro-
viding for boards of Election lnspec-
tors composed Of two Republican and
two Democratic inspectors in all dis
tricts of the State--that is. OF an equa!
division of the election inspectors on
political lines.
A significant amendment was made to
the bill by MIR. Platt's lieutenant In the
Assembly before its passage, The sec
ton providing that the inspectors should
he taken from that political organiZa-
ton which was recognized as regular
by the last State Convention of the
party concerned was stricken from the
bill
The meaning of this amendment is
plain. The Platt faction believes that
1t will be beaten in the reorganization
business by the Bliss faction and will
not obtain recognition by the next Re
publican Convention. But Mr.. Platt is
confident in his power to work the
wires" in the subsequent selection Of
inspectors of election, and he did not
want the restrictive provision in the
law on that account.
This means that the Platt- M!lhol,and
| faction is In for mischief and will con-
tinue the fight after being beaten by
| the regular organization in the next
state Convention. The battle in the
q. O. p. must still go on.
