Sister Ono ofth Ladies to Congrat-
ulato Miss Pollnrd's Attorney.
WASHINGTON, D. G., April l5.-Mado-
line Pollard is the most talked OF per.
son in Washington to-day. Since the
outcome oil her long breach OF promise
suit against Congressman Breckenridge,
as might havo been expected with a
woman Of her temperament, the long
strain OF tho trial eliminated in n ncrv-
Gus collapse, and to-day Miss Pollard is
suffering from nervous prostration. Sho
was taken last night to the Providence
Hospital, q Catholic institution, in
quiet part OF tho city on Capitol Hill,
whcro she is attended by tho sisters OF
charity. The attending physician said
he did not anticipate any serious effects
from her Illness.

part OF tho day. Her brother, ]. D..
Pollard, OF Lexington, Ky, was also
with her.
OFFERS FROM THEATRE MANAGERS.
During the trial several communica-
tions came to Miss Pollard and to her
lawyers from managers OF theatrical
and opera companies Offering high
salaries il she would appear in almost
any capacity under their auspices. Act
ing under the advice OF her lawyers she
has paid no attention to any OF these
communications. Both Miss Pollard
and her attorneys state that she has
never sought newspaper notorietr. She
has made but ono newspaper statement,
Judge Jcre Wilson said to-day, that it
was when n representative OF Now
York paper came to her last summer
with clippings from hundred papers
giving denials from Colonel Breckin-
ridge and his irieuds OF the truth OF her
charges. Theu she determined to pro-
sent 10 the public circumstan,ial ac-
count OF her first acquaintance with the
silver-tongued orator, and did go.
Since the verdict was rendered Sat.
urday afternoon the theatrical man
agcrs have redoubled their importuni-
tics and several kilograms have come to
Miss Pollard offering her astonishing
sums to go upon the stage at once. Her
friends decline to give the names OF tho
theatrical managers or 10 discuss their
offers, saying that no attention will be
paid to any OF them.
NO PLANS FOE TIE FUTURE.
An Associated Press reporter called
ut the Providence hospital to-day and
being told that Miss Pollard was unable
to receive callers sent to her a noto in
Qniring about her plans for the future.
The note was answered in person by
: lier brother Mr.. J. D. Pollard, q Young
man OF about % years.
My sister has made no plans for tho
future" be said, ''and We cannot tell yet
what she intends to do. She asks inc
to say 20 you most emphatically that
ehe never has entertained any inten-
tion OF going on the STAGE Nothing
could bc farther from her thoughts, or
intentions. 1t is absurd. 1t Is true
that communications on the subject
have como to her to-day but no alton
tion will be paid to them. All she asks
now is for rest and quiet"
"Will Miss Pollard continue to live in
Washington, or. return to Kentucky ?"
the reporter inquired.
That has not boen decided vet; she
will remain in Washington for time
Of course, but has no settled plans"
