ment the jurors entered, from the other door
mt the judges left was thrust the siivery head
of Congressman Breckenridge, surveying the
room for an instant before he entered. Fol-
lowing him came his son, Desha Brecl1in-
ridge, Col. Phil Thompson. and Attorney W.

played silent part in the suit.
Col. Breckenridge took his usual chair, with
Col. Thompson and his son at either side.
as called, Charles r. Cole" shouted the clerk
of the court in the usual incoherent lumble.
Then he noticed that no one was there to
represent the plaintiff. and called the fact to
the attention of the judge. who Immediately
dispatched a bailiff across the street.
There followed five minutes OF oppressive
silence. Hardly whisper was to be heard.
Then entered the aristocratic Mr.. Carlisle.
putting from the violence OF his journey, tall
hat and silyer-headed cane in hand. The
cane, it was observed. had a head with which
an OK might be feiled. Mr.. Carlisle came
alone, and sank into a seat.
Then Judge Bradley stretched out his hand
warningly to say: when this verdict is an
nounced. for 1 am informed that verdict
has been agreed upon, there must be no
demonstration either of approval or disap-
proval"
Th. clerk called the roll OF the jury, then
grumbled loudly an interrogative, which be-
ing interpreted was: "Gentlemen OF the jury,
have you agreed upon your verdict?"
I'VE have" responded Foreman Cole, ris-
ing and thrusting out his cherished blue en-
velope; 1--WE find for the plaintiff"

Senator Hoar and MIR. ingalls,.

From the New ! ork freSS.
When Arthur came into the Presidency he
stirred the political waters of Massachusetts,
to their depths by his appointment of Roland
Worthington as collector of the port of Bos-
ton.
Senator Hoar and Senator Dawes fought
the appointment vigorously. and when it was
finally made Hoar tookit as personal afIront.
The disappointment was SO bitter that he
threatened to resign his place in the Senate if
his wishes should be disregarded in the fur
ther changes that were likely to be made. 1t
was Just after the Conkling-Garfield episode,
and there was much speculation as to
whether he would carry out his threat. The
question was under discussion in the Senate
cloak room one day. and some one commented
rather obviously on the probability of resig-
nation.
.Hoar resign?" exclaimed ingalls,. "Never!
You don't know him as well as l do. When
ever his resentment reaches that pitch he will
rise in his place and hand in the resignation
of Senator Dawes"

VALUE OF WOMAN.

sin the conflict between man and woman"
says Prof. Felix Adler, "force, on the one
hand, IS checked by another force, but ora very
different nature from the force Of man. The
first check is beauty Man is ever impressed
and influenced by womans beauty, and
generally that influence is for mans good and
his elevation. This was the earliest power
which woman exerted over man. This was
the theme OF most of the poetry and song OF
the age OF chivalry, of the middle ages, and
is still powerful instrument in womdn's s
hand to-day, but not one that is all sufficient;
for there comes a time when that beauty
fades, and woman's influence would cease il
another and greater power did not SUPER
sede and take the place Of her iading beauty.
That great power is woman as a mother-the
maternal influence.
MAN, unless he is q brute, cannot fail to feel
tender to the mother Of his children. 1t is
then he confesses the II asterly influence she
exerts over him and his life, and he does not
withhold from her his recognition OF that
power. He loves his children and rejoices in
their development and education, and soon
sees that the mother is more necessary to his
children than he is. This is force different
from his, but no less potent. 1t is the ma
ternal in a woman which inspires his lasting
respect, and when coupled with her third
power or the third check completes her SOW
ereignty and establishes her dignity. This is
her spirituality. This is shown most COM
monty in her faith. The faith OF woman has
given a new lease of life to many a man.
What better has woman ever done than
through her faith.
by her faith she has lifted man out Of the
depths Of despair and placed him firmly upon
his moral feet and made new man of him,
when, with all the mans force at his disposal,
he could not recover from his desolate estate.
'Shall not, then, other influences come from
woman? Yes; she can give an intellectual
influence 1t is right that we should expect
some valuable contributions to science and
the general stock Of knowledge from woman.
Perhaps something may yet come 10 US which
has baffled mans researches SO far, which
needs but the peculiar woman nature to dis
cover it. When the equality OF the sexes is
recognized. hope she will develop intellec-
tual idiosyncrasies of the intellectual sense as
she has in the moral sense. Woman's pecu-
liar gift is that she always has an eye on
actual lite.
s.The question has often been asked, Shall
woman earn her own living? This is meeting
force with force, and is not the force which is
peculiar to her. In marriage an agreement is
entered into by the mai and woman to build
a home. The home is where woman's infiu-
ence is most potently felt. She should not be
compelled to earn her support. for, by so do
ing, she is forced to neglect that man thing
which the marriage contract implied-home
building. Her home influence and the pains
of child-bearing mark her RI hit to fair share
OF the family income. Simple justice to
woman demands it.

What will be the future Of Madeline Pol
lard is a question quite generally asked to-
night. So far as society Is concerned, no one
questions the assertion OF Major Butterworth
that in pulling down the temple of his fame
over the ears of Col Breckinridge she played
the part OF Sampson, burying herself in the
ruins. She has said that shefntends to de-
vote the remainder of her life to religious
work, particularly to the assistance Of out
cast women.
Whether she will have moral courage suffi-
cient to resist the tempting offers of large
financial gain from theatrical managers who
want her to appear on the stage or publish
ers who are holding out inducements for the
story OF her life is a subject of discussion.
That she will not be financially bettered by the
result of her case is probable, becausei it is well
understood and has been said in the trial that
Col. Breckinridge has no property. He has
lived up TO his income for years. and al
though his wife has money it does not seem
likely that she will care to expend it to satisfy
this Judgment.

Horace Greeley and His Bride.

"When he was first married and brough
his wife home on VISIT said an old ac-
quaintance, ga sugar party was given in their
honor on a neighboring farm All the guests
had arrived and we were looking out, watch
ing for the belated bride and groom. AT last
We saw something appearing in the distance.
As this same object came nearer we discov-
cred it was the old white horse OF the Gree
leys, slowly picking his way through the mud.
On his back sat the bride in brilliant yellow
frock. with a green velvet belt, and behind
her. wrapped in his famous white overcoat,
sat the editor of the New York Tribune. 1t
was the funniest sight ever saw, and set us
off in fits of laughing. l remember" con-
cluded nv informant, laughing again at her
recollection. 'that l simply lay down and
rolled upon the floor in spasm OF mirth-"
Mr.. Greeley came nome every year, and
after day or two on the farm would start to
walk miles and call on people. He was never
known 10 knock Mt a farmhouse door. No
matter whether he knew the inmates or not,
he would push open the door, walk right in,
sit down by the fireplace and fall to discuss
ing crops and other topics dearto the farmers

gentle, brusque intruder.

Solicitous About Senator Hill.


WASHINGTON, April 9-Senator Hill Is
striking figure. Within the space of the past
ten years he has grown from a common coun-
try lawyer to be the central feature in the
most prominent deliberative body in the
world. He is certainly man of marvellous
qualities. Without early advantages OF edu-
cation, he towers above the scholars who sur
round him like Gulliver among the Lilipu-
tians.
He is bold in speech, fertile in oratorical
expedients. often Illogical, frequently un-
grammatical. awkward, and ungainly in ges-
ture. H S speech is never ornate. Sherman,
with his wide knowledge plueked from the
tree of long experience: Morgan, with his
smooth southern diction and clear logical
thought: Davis or Voorhees,. their oratoricai
powers trained to harmoaize with oil that is
classical and brilliant in English speech
none of these can conjure such multitude as
the courageous and ready Senator from New
York. Will his tremendous force eXpend it
Self battling with the relentless waves Of ad-
verse fate. or will he poise himself upon the
crest OF a tidal Wave and conquer the storm
by commanding it? Who can tell?

HAPPY MADELINE.
She Will Live Out Her Life in Relieving the
CutcaSts and Fallen

Col. Phil Thompson said that his side had
expected that the jury would disagree, and
the readiness with which the verdict was
reached was great surprise to them.
Feeling is rather bitter between some of the
attorneys on opposite sides of the case, which
has been intensified by numerous occur
rences, and reached its climax in the passage
between Mr.. Wilson and Mr. Stoll in court
yesterday, when the latter thought his oppo-
nent had accused him of completely in the for-
gerry Of a letter. The scene was a most dra-
matte one when Mr.. Wilson. who. although a
tall man. weighs hardly a hundred pounds,
and most Of that brains, as some one re-
marked, confronted his opponent. 1t is said
that he would not have been as pointed as
he was but for the course taken by Mr.
Stoll in his examination of the sisters at the
Norwood convent when. according to Mr..
Wilson. he endeavored to show that the
Christmas card had been placed in the vol
ume of Washington Irving by Attorney Car
Isle or Attorney Johnson. People are talk

LOUISVILLE, KY, April IA special to the
Courier-Journa from Frankfort says that the
people there watched, with interest unsur-

the ollard-Breckinridge trial. The Daily
Chronicle issued an extra a few minutes
after the news was received from Washington.
and in half an hour every man, and nearly
every woman, in the city had heard of and
were discussing the verdict. But one person
in the whole town has been heard to say that
the plaintiff should not have received any
thing.
Breckinridge's friends are doing very little
talking. The consensus Of opinion among
the many who openly express any is that the
verdict is just one. and that it will be folly
even to think OF appearing in this district as

The Press Has Polluted the Public Mind,

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 14.-The Courier
Journal says:
The jury in the Pollard-Breckinridge case has
brought in its verdict. The trial, which for
weeks has crowded the court with the morbid
and the prurient, and which has poured such
vapors of pollution throughout the land, is over.
Now let it pass from the public mind.
The press has done more than its legitimate
duty in reporting the proceedings. Many news
papers have seized tho opportunity to pander TO
the depraved and the vicious by adding to the
functions of the journalist those of the scavenger
II is to be hoped now that even this element of
the press, which has done so much to discredit
self-respecting journalism, will find it no longer
profitable to pursue this foul matter.

trust TO the wholesome sunshine Of American
manhood and womanhood to drive out the poi
sonous germs with which the moral atmosphere

considered from their standpoint. The trip
OF the past three days has been wonderful
test of physical endurance Of man and beast.
While the men have borne up bravely, even
attempting to keep up their spirits with song
and Jest while wading in snow and mud,
with tho storm penetrating their rags, the
horses have been the greatest sufferers. From
the start two horses have been attached to the
commissary, band, and supply wagons.
The long march had told on the animals
before Uniontown was reached. but when the
climbing OF the mountains had begun the
poor creatures were barely able to struggle
along II was thought at one time yester-
day that the wagons could not be brought to
this town. The Panora horse gave out. ana
the Texas pony Princess, used by Oklahoma
Sam, was harnessed up. All day Thursday
the army struggled along for over two miles
on the national pike.
Each OF the five communes is placed in the
rear of a wagon. Thus, as the march pro-
gressed. the horses dropped further and fur-
ther to the rear, scattering the forces to an
unusual degree. The men are in good spirits
to-day. but having experienced the dlscom-
forts of mountain travel they rather dread
the tramp of fourteen miles to Frostburg.
The road is reported to be in bad condition.

this morning Mayor Shortidge ordered Com
mander Jones, of Coxeys army. to move on.
Jones refused. At the mayors orders the
police began to arrest the army; half OF them
saved themselves by deserving. The rest, in
Guiding Commander Jones, were loaded into
patrol wagons and driven to the police station.
They will be arraigned in court vagrants.
On being arrested Jones valiantly exclaimed,
1.-The army still lives, even in the cells OF the
Wilmington police station"
1t is doubtful if any legal penalties will be
imposed upon any of the army. They will
probably be released in the morning on
promising to leave the city. 1t is scarcely
possible that Jones will be able 20 again re-
cruit his forces. Only sixteen men were

rest having deserted. Residents of Newark,

army to camp in town. even should it reor-

BLA OK TALKS.
BE States His p easons for Going Before
the eSople Again.

Washington. Dec. Representative
Black Of AugESsa, does not relishthe COM
ments made sere and in Georgia, to the
effect that h= and Tom Watson propose
to shut out all other aspirants for congress
sional honors in the special election pro-
posed to be held next spring. In CONVEX
sation with your correspondent to-day
on this subject. Mr.. Black stated that a
false impression appears TO prevail here
and also in Georgia as to his status in the
special election for congressman in the
Tenth district. II was not his intention
originally, nor is II now, to shut out any
other gentleman who may desire to be
a candidate for election to congress at the
special election. After the recent election
the question arose as to whether improper
methods were employed which resulted
in the reelection of Mr.. Black, he conclu-
ded to resign his seat in the next congress,
to which the certificate of the governor
would entitle him, and refer the whole
matter back to the people. Mr.. Watson
consented TO that arrangement and while
Mr.. Black proposes to be a candidate for
reelection, he does not object to other
candidates entering the field against him.
He is disposed to resent the interference
of persons outside of the Tenth district
for he says the people of that district are
able to regulate their affairs without for
eign interference.
