A man is legally of age the day
before he completes his twenty first
year, and even if he were born on the
last moment of the list day of January,
and executed bill on the first mo-
ment of the last day of December, the
day before his twenty-first, it would
be legal. The reason is that the law
does not recognize parts of day, and
on the last day of his twenty-firs year
the legal age is supposed to be attain
ed, though in fact he may not really
be twenty-one until forty eight hours
later.

DIPLOMATIC Corps Costumes.

An interesting fact not generally known
in regard to the diplomatic corps is that a
member of that august body cannot, under
the penalty of official reprimand and danger
of recall, appear at fancy ball In the ma
tional costume. This fact was developed
one evening when large fancy ball was
given at one of the private houses on the
same evening of presidential reception to
the diplomatic corps. Those of the diplo,
mats who attended the ball later in the
evening were obliged to first change the
court costumes worn at the White House.
Inquiry on the part of curious friends de-
veloped the reason just stated. - Kate

Good Morning to the Wind.
'Good morning, dear old Mr.. Wind!
You're blowing fresh today.
You call the leaves down from the trees
And make them dance and play.
Ave love to watch the work you do
You're busy all day long.
We're very glad to bid you
Good morningf in our song"
my little child, do the work
Gods given me to do;
bring the raindrnps from afar,
And turn the windmills too.
II whirl and twirl the snowflakes white,
Till into drifts they fall,
And on the ocean swiftly sail
The merchants ship so tall"

As hours continued today in Western

on the Union Pacific between North
Platte and Cheyenne are tied up, but
the snow plows are out and a great

evening. The snow has ceased falling
west of Cheyenne, but terrific gale is
blowing. =.
The Elkhorn road is showed up west
Of O'Neill, and the Burlington and wy
oming line is entirely blocked. The
snow reached the Missouri river today,
but only in light flurries. The real storm
had only advanced as far east as Co
lumbus at noon. The snow varies in
depth from foot on the level at Sgd
ney to four feet at Spearfish. The effect
on cattle will be disastrous, as all the
big ranges of the state are in the dis
trict covered by the deep snow.

Closing Card.

Evidence Expected,
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Washington March 22.-The Pollard
Breckenridge trial was resumed this
morning with the reading of affidavits
on behalf Of defendant.
Counsel for Col. Breckenridge. has de-
cided to follow the example of their op-
ponents by reserving their clients tes-
timony for the closing card in their
case. Accordingly, the silver-haired
congressman disappointed many people
by failing to go on the witness stand,
and one of the disappointed ones was
Miss Pollard herself, who left the court
as soon as she learned the program.
The entire day was dragged out by the
reading of depositions, all aimed at two
points-to prove Miss Pollard did not
give birth to a child at the Norwood
convent in 1889, and that she is other
than she represents herself to be. There
will be nothing more for the jury until
Monday, as the court intends to adjourn
Friday, and the sessions on Saturday
will be devoted to arguments over the
admissability of depositions to show
that Miss Pollard had been intimate
with other men than the defendant, to
which PLAINTIFFS attorneys have given
notice of objections
Judge Bradley has been the recipient
since the commencement of the trial of
an unusually large correspondence con-
cerning the. case. Many latters come
from religious people, urging him, in
the interests of morals, to exclude the
newspaper reporters from the court.
One missive, which caused the judge to
smile, was signed by woman member
of the bar and suggested that since he
excluded all women from the court
when Miss Pollard gave her testimony
that men should be done likewise and
women admitted when Col. Brecken-
ridge takes the stand.

A STRIKE PROBABLE.
No Concessions Made BY the Union Pa
cifc Receivers.

Omaha, March 22.-It now looks as
though there will be a strike on the
Union Pacific. The employees have gain
ed nothing. All the conceding has been
done by the men. Not point has been
given in by the compny, and wherever
there is a difference of opinion, it still
exists, unless the men have receded
from their position. The men have al
most reached the conclusion that the
conference is a useless waste of time.
This evening 1t was quietly announced
that unless some very substantial con-
cessions are made from the Dunday
schedule, the receivers of the Union Pa
cifc would have a strike on their hands
The men have determined to drop the
conference. and will not allow the re-
ceivers to settle for themselves the
point If they decide to go before Judge
Caldwell, insisting on the Dundy sched-
ule, there will be opposition both in
and out of court.

THE STATE OF TRADE.
Bradstreet's Review Of the Situation
Decrease of Failures.

New York March 22.--In review of
the state of trade, Bradstreet's tomor-
row Will say; 'The increased observ-
ance of GoodrFriday in business circles
helps to check the volume of trade, not
withstanding there being practically
one less business day to the week than
last. The continued spring-like weather
has further stimulated sales of staples
at nearly all the larger cities in the
eastern, middle and in some of the
western states While the eastern wool
en- mills can not meet orders for dress
goods, many woolen mills are running
on part time. and large stock of old
wool, with the California and Texas
clips available within 60 days, depress
prices. The continued shrinkage of the
total number Of business failures each
week is another feature of the situation,
the total for the past week numbering
1877, against 2Sl last week, 2O2 in the
week a year ago 191 two years ago and

Washington, March 22.-Naval circles
are excited over the order recalling
Commander Kirkland, en- route for Ha-
wall, and instructing Admiral Walker
to take command Of our naval forces at
that station. The orders are understood
to be due to a well-authenticated report
that the Hawaiian government is about
to apply to some other power for either
annexation or protectorate, and the
wish OF the president to have the old
and war-tried naval officer in command
at Hawaii should such thing come to
pass.
