NEW YEARS DAY IN JAPAN.

set by the Gregorian Calendar, It Is CeIe-
brated With Quaint Observance.
Even the japanese celebrate Christ
mas, although unintentionally. They
have accepted the Gregorian New Year
instead of their own, and decorate
their houses in honor of the occasion.
But the influence of the English who
live among them has made them very
prompt in putting up their tinery. so
that they are generally in full festive
array by the dawn of Christmas
The decorations are decidedly unique
from an Americans point of view
Every detail, however, is perfect. and
every feature has some meaning.
Across the front of the house, for in
stance, is festooned grass rope with a
deep fringe This is very pleasant
sort of a thing for man to have over
his door, for no evil spirit dare pass
under it. Over each entrance hangs
great tassel of grass containing
scarlet crayfish. Its crooked body
symbolizes the back OF the aged bent
with years. This is surrounded with
the branches of a kind of japonica,
whose young leaves bud before the old
ones are shed. This is typical of par
ents living when their childrens chill
dren are born. In the center are the
leaves of the Japanese polopody.
which symbolizes conjugal life be-
cause the fronds spring in pairs. EN-
bryo leaves symbolizes offspring.
There is also piece of charcoal, which
means home, and two little pieces of
seaweed, which typify good fortune
and rejoicing. In the middle of all is
the lucky bag, a square of white paper
held in by a red and white string,
which marks present.
Not only the Japanese. but the Euro
peans in Japan also hang this tassel
over their front gates. They do it part I
ly as a compliment to the Japanese and
partly for luck Sir Edwin Arnold, /
when in Japan, had one hanging out
side his home at Azabu. But he was so
ultra Japanese that he took care to
have it ready only for New Years, and
not on Christmas.
The natives have another decoration,
of three green bamboos with
sAiccu topat reininuAuR one OF organ
pipes, erected on each side of the portal
at distance of six feet. the right hand
one springing out of tuft of the me-

centuries fresh discrepancy in the OBJ
Servance of Easter between the Romish

Is AN OLD CRIMINAL.
The San Francisco Bank Robber
Has Record.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 24.-William
Fredericks, who shot Cashier Herrick
yesterday, is only twenty-five years
old, but for years has been a hardened
criminal. Several years ago he was
sent to the penitentiary for robbery,
and served four years. He is accused
of two murders besides that of Herrick,
and is suspected of another. Last night
he admitted that his name was Fred
erickS. and said that he had furnished
arms to George Sontag. Chris Evans
partner. when Sontag tried to escape
from Folsom prison. In notebook
carried by Fredericks were some notes
written in cipher, which. being inter-
preted, showed that he had been In
communication with Chris Evans.
Fredericks says his plan was to bluff
the bank officials into submission. lock
them in the vault and quickly walk
away. He says he would not have fired
at Herrick had not the cashier first
wounded him. Although Fredericks
has such hard record as desperate
man, the police are convinced that
he is coward at heart, as he weakened
as soon as he thought he was wounded.
Herrick fired through the window at
him, and he was truck on the breast by

Sad Casualty at a san Francisco
Fire.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 24.-The two
story and basement stone residence at
22O Haight street was destroyed by fire
today, and Mrs. Jennie Ross Jumped
from a back window into the yard
with her five-months-old baby in her
arms. Both were killed. The other
inmates of the building had narrow
escape. Mrs. Ross sister Carrie aud
her father ana mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. Z. Irving, were forced to jump from
an upper story, the former breaking a
leg and all sustaining serious injuries.
Another family. who lived In the lower
part OF the house, barely escaped. The
fire originated under the front steps,
and is thought to have been incendiary,
as there was strong smell of coal oil
noticeable when the firemen arrived.
The fire was evidently kindled under
the front steps, 1t was discovered by
a newspaper carrier, who. instead of
arousing the family, walked several
blocks aud turned in an alarm. The
flames enveloped the front door and
rose to all the front windows. Mrs.
Rose. losing her presence of mind,
leaped from back window, with her
baby. Mrs. Irving, the mother of the
dead woman, who also jumped from
the upper story, is seventy years of age,
and will die from the injuries which
she received.

twenty-five miles west of the Jord-

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The argu-
meuts before Judge Bradley in the
Breckinridge-P Pollard case continued
for five hours, and he took the questions
submitted under consideration to decide
them Monday morning, when the court
meets again. Most of the talking was
done by Attorneys Johnson and Carlisle
for the plaintiff, and Butterworth and
Shelby for the defendant. Miss Poi
lard's counsel surprised the defense by
making a sweeping objection TO all their
depositI0ns on the ground that they had
been taken in an irregular manner.
Mr.. johnson made this point, and
argued that the mere notice given to op-
posing counsel that depositions were to

collector of internal revenue in Repre-
sentative Breckinridge's district.
The other deposition to which the
plaintiff is opposed was made by Dr..
Lewis, of Lexington, who affirms that
the late Col. Swope once approached
him with a request that he perform q
criminal operation on woman whom
he called Miss Pollard" The doctor
did not see the woman. nor could he
Identify her with the plaintiff, so the
objection was made that there is
nothing 10 connect the deposition with
the principal in this case.
Col. Swope was the Republican can
didate for congress against Col. Breck-
enridge III the Lexington districf, and
was killed in duel with Cash Goodloe,
who also was fatally wounded. Parts of
other depositions were also objected to.
The reason for secret hearing re-
garding these depOstlons is to keep
their contents from the jury in the case
till The court decides upon excluding
them. Although the jurors have been
cautioned not to talk with any one con-
cerning the case, nor to read the news
papers. the judge probably thinks that
the headlines of newspapers would be
too much for human curiosity TO resist
if spread before them Sunday morning,
and in the discussion of the affidavit5

be taken at certain time and place did
not constitute sufficient legal authority
to given them standing In the case.
This practice has always been fol-
lowed by the. circuit court, and before
the attorneys had finished their argu-
ments Judge Bradley told them that he
did not care to hear more on the Ques
ton. so that his opinion upon it is evil
IDENTIFY fixed.
Beside this round of contention the
dispositions mentioned were objected to,
and specific objections were made TO
parts of other dispositions. The testi-
mony of Mr.. Lewis and of others who
had testified that they had seen or heard
of certain Miss Pollard IN houses of
assignation brought forth the objection
that they did not even prove that the
person referred to was the plaintiff in
the case. Judge Bradley executed
A BIT OF STRATEGY
upon the newspaper men who gathered
today to hear the arguments over the
admissibility of certain dispositions
taken for the defense in the Pollard
Breckenridge case. Since nothing SEN
sational was expected, the general pub.
lie had scarcely any representation, only
newspaper men and lawyers appearing
in the court room. Just before the hour
for court to open whisper passed
among the lawyers, and they slipped
one by one into the Judges consultation
room, adjoining the court room. A uni.
formed bailiff standing at the door de-
MED admission TO all but the legal
forces. Col. Breckenridge and his son
Desha. The party was closeted in the
Judges room two hours.
There are three dispositions to which
Miss Pollard's attorneys make their
principal objection, the point involved
being the relevancy of testimony bear
ing upon Miss Pollard's character. One
of these dispositions was made by Alec
Julian, the young blind man to whom
Miss Pollard alluded in her letter
to Wessie Brown as her 'blind Barana-
bas.' He asserts in the affidavit
that in Kentucky a mock marriage was
performed between Miss Pollard and
himself at Squire Tinsley's at Bridge
port on Christmas day, 1888; that after
drinking egg-nog freely, he suggested
tndt IudIIlcu COuplSS usually WSEb w
bed. and that thereupon the two went
up stairs and got into bed together.
Miss Pollard testified on cross-examina-
ton that her uncle accompanied her to
Squire Tinsley's OH that day, and de-
MED the incident of
THE MOCK MARRIAGE.
The second deposition is by W. wv.
Roselle, to whom Miss Pollard was en-
gagged to be married in 1854. when she
was student at Wesleyan seminary,
and at which time she was intimate
with Col. Breckenridge. Roselle had
deposed that he took liberties with Miss
Pollard in the library OF the Wesleyan
seminary, and that when he left that
town for Chicago Miss Pollard begged
him to take her with him.
When eross-examlhed Miss Pollard
denied that Roselle had done more than
kiss her, and denied that she bad asked
him to take her to Chicago. In one of
the most ehafactefistIsally spicy dia-
logues between herself and attorney
Butterworth, she attributed Roselle's
motive in opposing her to the fact that
