him and loved him dearly through those nine years. Had not Colonel Breckinridge often endeavored to break on the relations with her, MT. Butterworth asked, and had he not promised to give her tIs5 month if she would go to Germany All this she denied. declaring that he had importuned her to stay by protestations of his love that she wished the court could have beard. She told how he had talked to her that last night before be left her last spring, telling her that she must not grieve at his short absence; that she must think of the future and of the baby that was to be born.
 MT. Butterworth asked if it had not al- ways been in her power to ruin Colonel Breckinridge. to which she replied with emphasis; II had that power, but never made a threat to him in my life. I never pressed thumbscrew on him until he had it in his power to keep his promise to me and broke it..
 When she was asked what were the things which Colonel Breckinridge had said of Mrs. Wing Miss Pollard refused to repeat them, saying she would not talk that way of another woman and would not be pressed Again, when asked if he had not suggested that they break of their rela- tions, she struck the witness box with her open hand, exclsiming: No. never, never! There was never such & word hinted at on his part" and she continued in a voice choking with sobs:
 "I gsveup my babies for him because he insisted on it, He said that if I kept them they would be surely traced to him. A woman can't do more than that, She can't do more than give up her child. I laid my hsby in its coffin because it needed a mothers csre, which had not been able to give it because he made me put it away from me. never let him sec me cry over it Enever'-
 The sentence was not finished, for Made line Pollard's head was bowed on her arms on the witness box, her slender frame was shaking with great sobs; there was suspi- cious moisture in many eyes. No man in the courtroom broke the silence by awhis- per until Mir. Wilson suggested that the court should adjourn.

RULE BRITANNIA"
AVERY POPULAR AIR WITH THE PRES
EkT ADMINISTRATION.

American Labor Interests and the Home
waiian Middle Is the Most Recent De-
velopment of Anglomania In Washington
Since March 4, 1893, on tho incom-
ing Of the present administration, both
the foreign and internal policy of the
country appears to have been formu-
lated with view to a consideration Of
the interests Of foreign countries rather
than of our own country. This has ap-
peared not only in one instance, but in
many instances. Setting aside such lit
tie matters as the exclusion of China or
Japan tea from the White House kitch-
on and the exclusive use Of Ceylon tea,
because it is English, you know, we
find that similar policy only on a
larger scale and one Of greater signifi-
canoe has been carried into our affairs
of state.
The most important feature was the
tariff measure formulated on English
free trade lines. without any regard or
consideration for the interests Of Amer
ican labor or American industries. Hay-
ing changed our system Of currency to
conform with that of England, it was
only natural that the same model should
serve on which to fashion our methods
of revenue. The result, it has been
found, would have been insufficient to
supply an income equal to the expend-
itures of our country. This also is Eng
lish.
We also have the suggestion made to
forestall the revenue by an issue of
short term treasury bills. This method
Of spending ones income before it is
earned is also of English origin.
The latest Anylomaniac development
that has emanated from Washington
this year has appeared in connection
with the Hawaiian muddle. 1t appears
that the first published report Of the Sec
retary Of state on issubject was shown
to and approved by the British embas-
sador at Washington before it was hand
ed out for publication for the informa-
ton OF the American people. We thus
have plain case of an act undertaken
by the United States government and
supposed to DO for the best interests OF
tho United States and Of the American
people first submitted for the consider
alton and approval OF the representative
OF foreign country, and that country

far as either the United States or tne
Hawaiian Islands We're concerned.
Such are some Of the gross exhibitions
of fun-Americanism on the part OF the
nresent Democratic administration, as
effusively and Extensively displayed TO
the American people. For other IN
stances we need only examine careful.
ly the new tariff measure, formulated
on English free trade lines and designed
mostly to assist foreign trade at the ex-
pense of our own. The remarkable u
terances of Benjam Folsom, cousin
in-law of President Cleveland, that We're
made on our national birthday to the
manufacturers at Sheffield, are too sure
" becoming realizations, and his CON
gratulations to the English manufac'
turers were by no means out OF place
from his own standpoint, or that OF his
n-in-law, or their party. There
are no words Of congratulation FOL
American manufacturers or for Amer
lean laborers. They may condole witt
one another while waiting for the con
gressional elections Of 1894.

PASTOR INJURY BEREAVED.
His Beloved Wife Died Yesterday
After a Brief Illness.

Mrs. Henrietta E. Meury, wife of Rev.
DIR. E. A. Meury, pastor of the Second Ger
man Reformed Church of Jersey City
Heights, died at her late residence, No. IA
Sherman place, yesterday afternoon at a
quarter after one after an illness of only
four days of blood poisoning. Mrs. Meury
was the daughter of ex-Commissioner Cd
Public Works Christian c.. Helm. She was
born in San Francisco twenty-eight years
ago, but moved to Jersey City when a small
child, and has lived here ever since, where
she enjoyed the society of a large circle Of
friends.
She was a member of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety of the Second German Reformed
Church, and was always on hand to help in
the duties. She was also a great worker
among the poor of the Eighth district, and
her death will be mourned by a great many.
The funeral will take place Wednesday
afternoon from the Second German Re-
formed Church on Central avenue at A PM.
Rev. DR.. George c. Leibert will conduct
the services in German, and Rev. DR.. Cor
nelius Brett will conduct the service in Eng
lish.
Pastor Meury did not once leave the side
of his wife from the time she was taken
sick until she died, and the poor man is
almost heartbroken. A student from the
Bloomfield Seminary has taken temporary
charge of his church. Services were dis
pensed with last night.

under the direction of the Klein Rath Of the
Carnival Verein, and the exercises attending
the presentation of the programme were con-
Quoted in German.
On the stage, seated back of a table, were
A. Klein, master of ceremonies. M. Reinach,
F. Reichert, 7. Russ, Charles Schoenfeld. J..
Ulrich, c. Magnus, C. Phillip, F. Lanker-
ing and c. Brassman. Each of these made
an address touching upon some incident
familiar to the members, provoking a steady
round of laughter. The speeches were given
from a stand representing the flowing bowl
stationed near the stage. Several members
from the audience were called upon for re-
marks, which were all given from the
stand. Refreshments were served.

BOYS BATTLE WITH STONES.

About two hundred men and boys yester-
day fought a battle IN Montgomery street,
between the trestle of the Black Tom Rail
road and Cornelison avenue. The wal ragged
fiercely for an hour and sling-shots, capable
of throwing stones that weighed several
ounces, and bean shooters were used. The
rival armies represented the hoodlums east
of the trestle and the roughs from the Hill.
Several youths were hurt by the stones
which were cast into the ranks, and pedeS-
trians had much trouble and a dangerous
time to work their way past the rowdies.
Captain LANCE did not permit his police to
interfere with the disgIaceful fight until
after a heavy stone was thrown through q
window of an electric car, smashing the
glass n frightening the passengers. The
conductor of the car reported the matter at
the Seventh precinct station and a police
man was then detailed to the battle field.
When he came into sight the hoodlums fed
precipitately. The people who live in the
neighborhood of the place where the fight
took place say that the same sort of a battle
takes place almost every Sunday, and they
think it is about time that Captain Lange
should put a stop to it.

character is completely destroyed. The
pale figured woods lend themselves more
readily to tn e coquettish vatican fashions,
made fluffy with laces and ribbons. Favor
is about equally divided between the prin-
cess and loose fitting shapes, and many
very pretty things are shown in both styles,
although nothing particularly new has APP
peared. Revers and full lace fronts still
hold their own, though one gown is shown
having a puffed yoke and an u~ngathered,
perfectly straight front falling plainly to
the feet, u~nbroken ever by a girdle. There
is a lengthwise band of trimming at either
side, under one of which it fastens.
A particularly pretty tea gown of satin is
cut in princess style in the back. The
front, which is faced with velvet, is open
and turned back on either side in revers.
The satin forms a sort of short jacket front,
with small velvet revers, which is gathered
up and fastened across the bust under a
satin Knot and bow. From the knot a full
front of lace falls to the feet. Lace is also
brought down from the shoulders to the
knot in q Y, while the neck has a high
wrinkled collar of velvet. The sleeves are
the feature of the gown. There is first a
tight sleeve of velvet, with a wide lace ruff
fe at the wrist. Over this is a fall of lace
to the elbow, caught up Of the outside of
the arm by a wide satin oversleeve, whichis
held just below the point of the shoulder
by a butterfly arrangement Of plaits, free
at the ends, but secured in the middle by a
knot.
Such a sleeve would be successful only in
rather stiff goods. like satin or thick silk,
but there is no lack of models for soft
goods equally attractive. A wide double
bertha, with extra fullness gathered over the
shoulder, may be arranged to fall over the
top of a plain sleeve, or the sleeve may have
a full flaring puff, with several rows Of
shirrinQ ct the top.
