Washington, March 23.-The reading of
dispositions was taken up late yesterday
afternoon. Madeline Pollard was seated
beside her lawyer, Judge Wilson, talking
to him, with smile playing across her
face, and once as she talked she glanced
over her shoulder at the white-haired de-
fendant. Before Attorney Stoll had pro-
ceeded far with his elocutionary effort,
Miss Pollard and her company rose and
glided from the room, interrupting for q
moment the reading. The first deposit
tion was that of Sister Augustine, of the
Norwood convent asylum, where Miss
Pollard was ut first confined. This sister
had been for years at the convent, did
not recognize Miss Pollard, who had been
at the convent, and said there had never
been but one Louise Wilson there, and
she gave birth to child there last fall.
The entries on the convent books under
the name of Miss Burgoyne corresponded
with the dates which Miss Pollard and
DR.. Street had given of her admittance
to the asylum, the birth of the child and
her departure. The name of the child
on the record was NJ. Gertrude Burgoyne.
According to e recollection of the sister
Miss Burgoyne had visited the convent
twice after the child was born. The
child, Marie Gertrude Burgoyne, had died
IN July, 1885. When Miss Pollard was
told of this, the sister deposed she had
thrown up her hands and run from the
room, but when she returned there was
no evidence of grief i'll her face. Several
other minor dispositions were read and
court adjourned until Monday.

last eight years, a vacancy has occurred
There Is no doubt Of senator Gray's
fitness there Is no doubt that President

Senator Gray is a large.mlnded, con
servative man. He has never offended
any element, no matter how strongly and
consistently he urged the curse which
he believed TO be Che proper one. He is
uot politician but statesman.
Hence the same admiration which
the people Of the East have for his
brave manly and earnest contest for the
repeal Of the Sherman Silver Purchase
bill creates sentiment in the South
and West that he will not deal unjustly
with them in any other matters. Ia
'aking Leading part in repeating the
silver purchase clause he did not offend
the sllvsrltes He differed from them,
he did not denou ee them hence they
do not denounce him They respect his
candor; they admire him for his ability
they trust him for his justice.

In his advocacy Of the repeal OF the
Federal Elections law. he was equally
