The colonel could not remember having
met Miss Pollard during the forty-nintE
congress, but in the summer of 1887 he re
sumed his relations with her visiting the
house of Sarah Guess half a dozen times
He had met her perhaps at other times

"Of course | wish to make this as little

The events after Miss Pollard's coming
to Washington in the fall of 1887 were re-
traced. The colonel told how he had met

ton suspected her condition. Arrange
ments were then made for sending her
money, which was always accompanied
by note, generally signed "Bge"-a con-
traction of breckenridge" which he used
in indorsing his papers.
Upon Mr.. Wilson asking whether the
letters were couched in such language that
a stranger would have understood their
subject matter, the colonel said that one
receiving the letters with the money might
have understood or suspected something,
but they would not if seeing the letters
without the money.
so that stranger never would have
dreamed what they were about?" Mr.. Will

''Oh, that is a very broad statement"
returned the colonel ''Of course cannot
be expected to say what a stranger might

considerably, and the colonel was perfect

tablished u unique store for the aid
Of the poor Of the East Side. They
do not give things away, but they sell
them ut SO low price that for a very
mcagcr sum the poor can obtain fuel
and provisions. At the entrance to
the store are two booths. Here the
prosI cctive customer buys tickets.
which cost cents each, and, entering
the store. he may purchase tea. coffee,
sugar. bread. coal and other article,
at q price 80 per cent. less than he
would be obliged to pay elsewhere.
Most Of the purchasers are Russian,
Polish and Hungarian Jews. The store
was opened Dec. 10, and since that
time 2OO.OOO persons have bought coal
and provisions there. The average
number of ustomcrs Is between l7.OOO
and $4,000 per day. There are sold
every day about 300 lOaves OF bread.
1900 parcels Of coffee. 1850 parcels OF
tea, 5000 bags OF sugar and go tons Of

Air the Best Gcrmicidc.

Notwithstanding the fact that the gos-

remittingly for the last few years, and
that every intelligent person under.
stands the beneficial effects of oxygen
and the equally injurious qualities OF
the impure air which is brcathed out
of the lungs in confined space, there
still remains an unaccountab!e preju-
dice against letting in the outer air in
cold weather. In many houses. except
when the beds are aired or the floors
swept. the windows are really never
opened. the one airing been deemed
sufficient If the temperature Is below

window open at night, although 1t is O
