WHY They Were Continued.

Several reasons were given in the argu-
ment made before Judge Wickham yester-
day on the continuance OF the election
ca ses until the next term. The principal
one was that Colonel IIaskinss who APP
pears with MIR. Meredith for the defence.
is just recovering from n long spell. and
his physician thinks he would run the risk
Of permanent lameness should he 20 into
so tedious n trial Just now. Another was
that one OF the defendants has an I'M
portant engasement-to be married-pre-
viously made for the date originally fixed
for the trial After an argument o(
nearly an hour Judge Wickham said he
would grant the continuance. but the
trial would have to proceed on the second
day of the May term.

enable a person to stand the test or such
protracted crOss-examination. one was
a trained mind. Il, wonderful ability to
think. "A knowledge OF lawyers and their
ways, in fact, all that was possessed by
a clever lawyer; the other was-the truth.
His client had stood the test without any
Of the qualifications of the first instance.
and the fact that she had not been made
to change her direct statements on any
subject showed that she must have stood
the test through the second qualification.
Concerning the claim Of the plaintiff that
she had become mother at st. Joseph's
Founding Asylum at Norwood, near Gin
cinnati, Mr.. Carlisle quoted the testimony
OF DR.. Street, who said that she had sent
"Mrs. Bergwynn'' to st. Joseph's. and had
visited her there. and OF DR.. Belle Buch-
anan, who recognized Miss Pollard as
Louise wilson," and Dr. Street said that
Louise Wilson" and Mrs. Bergwynn"
were the same. There was nothing in
the testimony" he said. ITO show that
anybody but this defendant was the father
of that child and he was its father"
The future relations OF the plaintiff and
the defendant were reviewed from the
standpoint Of each. and Mr.. Carlisle con-
tended that II had been shown that the
guilty relations of the pair were coli
tinuous. despite the testimony OF the de-
PENDANT that there had been long inter-
walls in those relations.
Then Mr.. Carlisle took up the alleged
promise OF marriage. which Miss Pollard
says was made In Washington on August
81. 1892. Colonel Breckenridge had testi-
fled that Miss Pollard was not In town at
that time. but II had been proved by
clearinghouse ledger that Miss Pollard
returned on the date named. 4As 70 the
defence of Colonel Breckenridge that he
and Miss Pollard had merely pretenied to
be engaged, Mr.. Carlisle referred to the
very important testimony OF Claude de la
Roche Francis. who told OF his accidental
eavesdropping at Mrs. Thomas's. when
Colonel Breckenridge said TO Miss Pollard
that he was sorry she had mentioned
their engagement to the witness.
At this point Mr.. Carlisle asked Judge
Bradley's permission to continue MS adj
dress tomorrow. and as II was then with

An Empress Who Took Part i'm Som
Singular Performances.

An impress VINO TOOK Part In Some
Singular Performances.
In the memoirs of Jacob Ivanovitch
De Sanglen," there are some interest
iEg particulars about Russian royal-
ties. Jacob De Sanglen was employed
in the Russian police service, and in
1911 and 1912, as chief of the chancel-
lery of the minister of police he was
personally attached to Alexander l.
Before her death, Sanglen had seen
Empress Catherine several times. He
relates hat she abolished all ceremony
during the evening receptions she used
to give at the "Hermitage," and some
times ordered a game Of ''cutting
faces,"i in which she herself had great
ability, making comic gri1naces, or rap
idly raising and sinking her left ear
which she could move almost like an
animal. In the year 1912 Narbonne
was sent by Napoleon to Vilpa, vs.
tensibly to welcome Emperor Ask
ander, but really to spy on the Rus
sian army But the Russian police
were ordered to cause Narbonne's car
riage to be led so hat it's occupant saw
aoth1ng of the arrangement Of the
army, and the servants placed in at
tendance on Narbonne were all officers
of police. One evening Narbonne was
invited to the royal box in a theater,
but the emperor was not there, being
engaged personally in examining Mar
bonne's papers, for the Russians had
made Narbonne's French adiutant
tipsy, and while he was in this state
stole Narbonne's portfolio and opened
it in the presence of the emperor. The
instructions from Napoleon found
among them were copied. Napoleon
had requested to be informed Of all
things concerning the Russian gen
erals, the friends male and female) O.
the emperor of Russia, Of the lattert
state of mind, ETC., and whether it
would be possible to enter into secret
relations with Alexander's surround
ings. De Sanglen had promised Alex
ander l. never to publish, as long as
he lived, anything about his connection
with him (the emperor). He therefore
kept all his notes, which were volumip-
Gus, secret, and they were first pub
liShed in 1882.
