BOTH BAD ALIKE,
The Verdict for Pollard Does Not
..Vindicate' Her.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
By stripping the case of its air of false
Importance and significance Judge Bradley
has, also, stripped it of its possibilities for
public mischief. One real danger lay in
the apparent tendency on the part of hys-
terical people TO exalt Madeline Pollard in
to f forget 6nG dni G IL c6n
templating his; TO make heroine. cham
pion of the cause of female virtue, of this
girl of easy morals: to uphold her cause
as If there were nothing to distinguish her
from FIR n all the honored and virtuoqs women
tempted and furnished opportunity for sin
and they had not. This tendency Judge
Bradley's charge will check. He told the
jury you should not concern yourself
about the vindication of American woman
hood, or the vindicaton of the family, or
the vindication of the country girl in the
abstract" He practically said to the pub
lie, Miss Pollard represents in this court
no one but herself she is the champion only
of her own personal interests The jury
needed the admonition and the public will
soon come TO heed il. For 1t must now be
apparent to every one that the verdict is no
vindication OF Madeline Pollard's char
acter; that the question whether she Is q
good woman or bad woman. worthy
woman or a worthless one, was never be-
fore that jury for determination. 1t could
not pass on that question, and IL did not
attempt to. So there is no glamour, now
about this woman. How does she appear,
stripped of that? Even after on a DELHI
ate VI tire ne mas cast
aside all that seems TO indicate that Made
line Pollard is merely n rather vulgar
rather braZen and eminently thick-skinned
adventures, making Brecknrdge's shame
and hers her source of livelihood. the
Chronicler finds himself still unable to see
in what way Madeline Pollard is worthy
of any good woman's admiration or re-
spectful sympathy. In melodrama, only,
does the existence of an Objectionable VII
lain predicate the existence of an i'm
maculate heroine. In real life the estab-
uShed fact that q pretty worthless sort of
man has wronged woman does not pre-
clude the possibility that the wronged
woman may be as worthless as the wrong
ing man. The danger of a sentimental
apotheosis of the Pollard girl and her fault
is one that Judge Bradley's common sense
has done much to avert

A ROYAL BETROTHAL
The Czarewitch and Princess Alix,
of Hesse, to Wed.
Emperor William Conveys the News to
Queen Victoria at COburg-Terms De-
manded by Brazilian Rebels.

COBURG, April 20.-The betrothal is an

Nicholas) TO the Princess Alix Victoria Hell
ena Louise Beatrice, Of Hesse. A few
days ago it was reported that the Care
witch intended resigning his succession to
the throne in favor of his younger brother,
the Grand Duke Michael. The belief was
that this action was contemplated on &C
count of the opposition of the Car to his
marriage with the Princess Alix. 1t was
also stated at the time that the Care
witch would never marry. BUT all obstacles
to the happiness Of the young couple seem
to have been removed and the announce
ment of their betrothal at this time be-
fore the dispersal of the many royal per-
sonages who had assembled for the we'd
ding Of yesterday. affords opportunity for
the customary congratulations. Emperor
William, OF Germany, was the first to COM
municate the news of the betrothal to
Queen Victoria, who expressed herself as
being highly pleased. Emperor William
then walked from the ducal schloss to the
Edinburgh palace, accompanied by Col l..
V. Swaine, the British military attache at
Berlin, and communicated the news to the
Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha- Emperor
William is believed to have been mainly
instrumental in bringing about the betrothal
from the fact that he had the news before
Queen Victoria or the Duke and Duchess
of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and the evident
delight Of his Imperial Majesty is cited as
evidence of the Importance which he at
taches to the alliance.
emperor William, who is deeply bronZed

condition of his health has been the subject
or grave apprehension on the part of his
parents and their loyal subjects, and ii was
on this account that he set out on tour of
the world in 1891. which came near ending
by crazy japanese policeman and would
probably have been killed but for the timely
Intervention OF his cousin the Crown Prince
of Greece.
Princess Alix, of Hesse was born at
Darmstadt June s, 1872, and is the
Duke Ernest Louis of Hesse, who was
married yesterday to Princess Victoria, of
SaXe-Coburg and Gotha- The eldest sister,
the Princess Victoria, is the wife of Prince
Louis of Battenberg, and the second sister
Princess Elizabeth, is the wife of Grand
Duke Ssrgius of Russia, brother Of the
Car. The third sister, Princess Irene, is
married to Prince Henry of Prussia, brother
of Emperor William
The Grand Duke of Hesse and his bride
made their state entry into Darmstadt yes
terday morning. The procession halted at
a magnificent triumphal arch near the
Rhine gate, where the chief burgomaster
delivered an address of welcome to the
newly-married couple. The whole way to
the castle was one continual ovation.
