MADELINEAND BRECK
Miss Pollard Speaks of
Chasing the Colonel
While Lecturing.
Her Washington Lawyers Ignorant
of the Scheme.-Her Object, She
Says, was not Money, but
Humiliation.

WASHINGTON. d. c., December 27
"A dispatch was received from Gin
cinnati yesterday stating that the at
torne.7s for Madeline Pollard contem
plate following Congressman Breckin.
ridge on his lecturing tour through
the country in an effort to attach re.
ceipts in payment of Miss Pollard S
$l5,O 900 verdict for breach of promise.
This would be done. it is said, by
filing transcript of the judgment had
in this city few months ago in each
place the Colonel lectures, and basing
creditors bill upon that.
The Colonel lectures in Cincinnati,
where. the dispatch states, the first of
the reported legal moves will be made.
Judge J. NJ. Wilson. of Miss Pol
lard's counsel during the breach of
promise trial, told United Press re-
porter last night that he knew nothing
of this effort to collect the Judgment
against Col. Breckinridge. but sug-
gested that Calderon Carlisle, who was
associated with him during the trial,
could speak with more knowledge. as
he had the case in his charge.
Mr.. Carlisle was found and made in
effect the same answer. He said any
such proceedings were new to him. and
he did not believe any action would be
taken by Western attorneys unless he
was informed of it.
The appeal from the proceedings in
the lower court which Col. Breckin-
ridge attempted to make. was dismissed
some time ago, and the judgment
stands on the court record as unsatis
fed
Soon after the termination of the
trial. and after Miss Pollard had be-
gun to search for employment. she
was asked if she entertained any hope
of recovering the $4,000 Judgment or
any part of it.
Certainly not said she. with
show of Indignation. Col. Breckin-
ridge has no money. and if he had, do
you imagine l would accept a penny?
| never had a thought of securing
recompense in that way. Whatever
money Col. Breckenridge has should
90 to others-to his wife and children
and not to me. l would not take a
cent from him if | could get it
Miss Pollard intimated most plainly
at that time that her sole object in in
stituting suit had been to humiliate
Col. Breckenridge. as she saw no pros
pect whatever of pecuniary gain. IT.
is known that she has had hard
struggle to exist. She has sought in
vain for steady employment. Her
brother has been with her constantly.
While it is possible she may have
changed her mind about the Judgment,
il is not considered probable that she
would take the step indicated in the
Cincinnati dispatch without consulting
her attorneys here who have stood by
hel. so faithfully.

MILLINERY.

1t Is certainly strange and,
in fact surprise to us at the
number Of hats that are going
out of that millinery depart
ment of ours. Ask any lady
who Is wearing a handsome,
stylish hat, Where did you get
1t?" she will invariably say, II
got it at ENOCK'S." Have
you any Idea why they got it
of us? Simply because we
carry the largest stock, have
the greatest selection to choose
from, and have the best MILL.
ners to put them together, and
the low price cuts no little
figure. With all these advan-
taaes you can't blame them
fer going to ENOCK'S.

American Rights ia Cuba.

1ho american aQvoDturer4 who enlist
in tho cause of Cuban independence and
thereby become involved in dangerous
and disastrous predicaments will have
no one 10 blame but them selves. Thew
take their lives in their own hands
when they enter upon the doubtful
venture. They encounter peril and
privation on every side. Captured by
the enemy, they are menaced by pro-
longed imprisonment, or more likely
speedy death; AMI 1t is not ALWAYS that
trey can depend for rescue upon the ina
tercession OF the home government,
whose instructions they have ignored,
and whose laws they have violated
SO nearly as they can be approached,
however, under any provision OF inter-
national law or recognition OF belliQer-
entriRhts, the United States IS a rule

species OF paternslism. There ia such
thing as presuming COO much upon the
inviolaotlity OF their citizenship, as
many Americans may find to their sor-
row who choose to risk it in the Cuban
insurrection; but 1t Is great stand.by
AFTER sll-too great to be lightly es-
teemed or carelessly thrown away.
AS to American citizens in Cuba who
are not there upon any questionable
errand, but have, for some reason or
other, fallen under the ban OF the au-
thorities, the duty OF our government ia
plain and imperative, and should make
itself promptly felt, in the event that
they are deprived OF liberty or sub
jected to other indignity.
Such would appear to be It's duty in
tho case of tho two American sailors,
who, after procuring discharge from
their ship at Port au Prince, met with
series of mishaps which, notwithstand-
ing their naturalization papers and the
diplomatic credentials they carried, and
the efforts in their behalf of the Amer.
lean consul at Guantanamo, finally
landed them in ono of the foulest OF
Spanish prisons at Santiago.
These men should be looked after
without delay. They disavow any rela-
tionship with existing disturbances in
the island. OF these they are merely
the unwilling vicsims, and they insist
that the obj-c Of their present visit to
Cuba is TO engage in the turtle-shell
business. The times, we should judge,
were hardly propitious for commercial
speculations OF that character, but II
our fellow countrYmen are there for

should be given the freedom OF the city

GOOD CHANCE FOR OPERA.
If Roanoke Gives the Necessary
Guarantee
The Company Will Oome-The Plan Is to
Sell Communication Tickets and Thus
Make the Venture Safe-A Splendid
Company.

Many OF the important cities of the
South. including Atlanta, Memphis,
Montgomery, Chattanooga. Savannah,
Augusta and others, are just now en-
gaging or making arrangements to have
in May what has become in most Of
shese places the regular annual season
or festival OF opera. Manager Hooper
Is very solicitous about Roanoke keep
ing up with the procession and has had
the opera festival bee buzzing in his hat
for some time. but has had no oppor--
tunity to take decided step in the
matter until the present time.
The only question that intervenes
son OF grand and comic opera ia whether
the music-loving citizens are willing to
step forward and in q tangible way lend
the echemo their support.
Mr.. Hooper confidently expects that
they will do this-especiallY as ne pro-
poses to reciprocate in various ways to
the subscribers for season tickets, or
more correctly speaking, Communication
books. He has partially made arrange
ments, or rather secured an option, for
two nights during the week, beginning
June 10, with the famous Andrews
Opera Company, which has been secured
by most of the cities mentioned above
for their annual opera season. In case
he succeeds some first class opera will
be the result. The repertoire will be
Pretty Persian" 'Martha," Fra
Diavolo," "Iolanthe," "Falka," I'll
Trovatore," etc.
The Andrews Company enjoys sn un-
broken record Of ten years of success
and steadily increasing popularity. 1t
ia now conceded to BIS the represents
tive repertoire opera organization OF
this country and is the only legitimate
successor to the late Emma Abbott
company in this special field of work.
Manager Hooper wishes to inaugurate
the plan OF having an opera season
every season and II his initial effort
succeeds it will go long way towards
accomplishing that object.
Owing to the late season Of the year
he wishes to place the price within the
entire lower floor 81. A still further
reduction will be made to subscribers
for communication books. A book OF four
tickets will be sold to subscribers only
for SO These tickets have an advan-
tage over season tickets in that they
may be used as desired by the pur-
chaser. They may sill be used on one
night il desired. Two or more persons
may club together and buy book and
thus secure the Wholesale rate II desired.
The Andrews Opera Company has never
been popular priced one, but Manager
Hooper wishes to offer this low rate in
order to make his opera season an inn
mense popular success. The subsorir-
ton sale of communication books is now
on, and II $50 names are secured by
Saturday of this week the opera season
Is assured.
