Responses to suggestions and in

After a pleasant discussion of
the objects and aims to be kept
in view by the society, organiza
tion was begun by electing Prof.
Moses as temporary chairman. He
accepted the responsibility of
selecting a committee on permanent
organization, which committee re
ported as follows: For president,
Prof D. H. Hill; for vice-president,
Prof. E P. Moses; for secretary and
treasurer, Jtl W T . Ayer.
The selection of a name for the
society was deferred until a meeting
to be held next Saturday morning,
when each member will offer names
by ballot. If it should happen that
one name receives more votes than
another, it will be adopted; if not a
special committee will take all the
names suggested and offer one for
adoption. By-laws will also be re
ported at this meeting by a special
committee.
It was decided to hold the first
social and literary meeting on the
second Monday evening in April
The sul j 3 ct chosen was "Oliver

Bicycle for Health and Business,
N. Y. Advertiser, March 14.
Did it ever occur to you how ben-.
eficial the riding of a bicycle is ? j
Nine out of ten riders realize only
the pleasure, never stopping to
think of the benefit their daily
wheeling is doing for them in build
ing up their worn-out tissues. Just
such weather as we have been ex
periencing of late is the kind to get
out and ride in. Note how your
blood tingles in your veins, and the
exkiliaration is well-nigh overpow
ering. Bat few of the uninitiated
are aware of the great benefit to be
derived from cycling. The hustling
broker, merchant or professional
man is fagged out, broken in health
and spirit, goes through his daily
work in a perfunctory manner. If
he only knew that by adopting daily
exercise on the wheel he would be
rejuvenated, how much better it
would be for him. Said the big dry
goods merchant—the same spoken
of yesterday—when riding for the
first time: “This is the greatest
pleasure I ever experienced. How
foolish I was not to have learned to
ride ten years ago and enjoyed the
benefits.” Such is the verdict of
every one who tries the wheel. If
no a rider lose no time and learn;
if already one, ride the more; but
that is hardly necessary, for all
wheelmen are toe enthusiastic to
need much advice on riding.
If you ride and want the best,
you are entitled to tbs best if you
pay $125 The “Rambler” is the
be&t.
The sooner jou begin to fight the fire.
the more easily it may be extinguished,
The sooner you begin taking Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla for your blood-disease, the
easier will be the cure. In both cases,
delay is dangerous, if not fatal. Be sure
you get Ayer’s and no other.

dramatic fkaturks of a dra
matic DAY IN THIS DRA
MATIC CASK.
Miss Pollard on the Stand was Taken
Through the Maaea of Her Life—“He
Must Bear His Share as I Must Bear
Mine ”
By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, March 19. —Madeline
Pollard was taken through the
mazes of her life today under the
guidance of Major Butterworth,
who, in the absence through illness
of Mr. Totten, has taken place as
leading counsel for 001. Breckin
ridge. Sometimes she broke away
from where he wanted her and
would make a telling remark against
the silver-haired defendant. She
told how her alleged ruin was ac
complished, bow she gave herself
up, heart, sou’, body and mind to
Col. Breckinridge; how she loved
him, and how she acted the deceiver
at his instigation, never once allow
ing a hint of their relations to fall
from her lips during all the years
preceding his marriage to Mrs.
Wing. Miss Poll rd made a good
impression. She wa3 tearful at
times but at other periods her voice
rose until it sounded loud above the
protests of the attorney.
One of the most dramatic features
of the very dramatic day was when
Miss Pollard detailed a conversation
with sister Agnes at the Found
ling asylum where her first child
was born. She had gone there last
summer with her brother to get.
evidence, and the sister had asked
her why she wanted to ruin Col.
Breckinridge in his old age. *He
must bear his share,” she said, "as I
must bear mine. He ruined nay life
and I will have justice.”
The court room was crowded
throughout the day and Miss Pol
lard’s answers were frequently the
cause of laughter, until Judge Brad -
ley administered a severe rebuke to
the spectators.
She did not appear to be nervous
or concerned over the prospect
when she arrived in the oourt room
this morning.
Miss Pollard’s repartee on Friday
gave such promise of an interest
ing day with the plaintiff on the
stand that the court room was
crowded long before the hour when
the court convened. Judge Brad
ley’s instructions to the bailiffs that
only members of the bar, newspa
per men and persons concerned in
the trial, would be admitted to the
court had evidently little effect As
soon as the court had been formally
called to order. Miss Pollard took
the stand and Col. Breckinridge
laid down the paper he was reading.
There was some surprise when
Mr. Carlisle, her own attorney, be
gan to examine her, instead of Maj.
Butterworth.
Mr. Carlisle’s question brought
from Miss Pollard statements that
she had never been married. She
also said that she continued her re
lations with Breckinridge up to
May 17th, 1893 (nearly a month
after Breckinridge’s secret marriage
to Mis Wing)
Mr Butterworth then took Mias
Pollard for cross-examination, and
continued the questions began Fri
day, inquiring minutely into her
early life, what she did, what she
read, what she thought.
She said in answer to these ques
tions that she was an Episcopalian
—Bhe had been brought up that
way. "Once an Episcopalian, al
ways an Episcopalian,” she said.
Bhe had an ambition to be a teacher,
she said, and had not given up that
ambition. Bhe admitted in response
to Mr. Butterworth that she appre
ciated the value of character and
reputation that a teacher must have
only too well. ‘ Indeed, I do, Mr.
Butterworth,” she said, in answer to
another question; "Indeed I do
know what it means to have a repu
tation, and it has been swept away
at one blow.
Mr. Butterworth read from a let
ter written by Miss Pollard to her
school mate, Wessie Brown; her ac
count of how she met Mr. Rhodes,
who paid for her education on con
dition that she should marry him.
Miss Pollard was not satisfied with
Mr. Butterworth’a emphasis on parts
of this letter, and she asked him to
have Mr. Carlisle read it. "I do not
mean to be rude, Mr. Butterworth,”
she said, ‘ but I am terribly in ear
nest about all this and I want it
right.”
"So do I,” said Mr. Butterworth.
Mr. Butterworth read the Wessie
Brown letter in segments, asking
the witness for explanation on cer
tain points, and Miss Pollard ex
plained them quietly but with just
a suspicion of a tremor in her
voice. There were tears in her
eyes, too, and sho waa not nearly bo
bright and quick as she was on Fri
day. Her manner wub courteous in
the extreme. When Mr. Butter
worth read certain parts of the let
ter, of an extravagant school girl
character, Miss Pollard hung her
. head.
This was the letter in which she
referred to her blind sweetheart,
"My Modern Barnabas.” The re
collections brought up by Mr. But
terworth’s questions coucerning
passages in it overcame Miss Pol
lard, and she broke into tears and
Butterworth dropped the letters.
Continuing on his line of cross
examination, Mr. Butterworth asked
RALEIGH, N C, TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 20, 1894
about what Miss Pollard had reed
—referring to her answers on this
subject Friday—and he wanted to
know particularly about whether
she had read any impure books-
Here Judge Wilson, of Miss Pol
lard’s counsel, interfered, and said
the questions being put were so far
remote from the main question in
volved that he felt called upon to
ask a discontinuance of them, and a
return to matters brought out by
the examination in chief. w
“I have just one word to say,
said Major Butterworth: “This
plaintiff has in every possible way
put forward the claim of the purity
of her character. She has sur
rounded herself with an atmosphere
of purity. It’s the matter, the soul
of this issue.”
Mr. Butterworth said other tilings
in the same line, and was finally
asked by Judge Bradley whether he
had concluded this line. Major
Butterworth said he had, but the
next question waß so much like the
others that Judge Wilson arose and
protested.
In the course of his remarks he
said someiniug about a young girt’s
character depending on the indi
vidual in whose way she might have
been placed, He made some refer
ence to "that individual having a
silvery tongue,” and the audience
laughed. Judge Bradley threat
ened to clear the room if such
demonstrations happened again
Mr. Butterworth aßked Miss Pol
lard if she knew certain persons—
Dr. Green, Mr. Stout, Alex. Julian
and others in Bridgeport, Ky. She
said she did not know any of them
except Alex. Julian and G. B.
Roack. Julian, she said, waa the
man she referred to in the Wessie
Brown letter as “My blind sweet
heart, my modern Barnabas ” He
was a school teacher and sho liked
him very much. “ But he dsd not
like me,” said Miss Pollard, in ex
planation, and with a note of sur
prise in her voice. “He liked my
sister very much—l liked him—he
did not like me.”
Julian is the witness who has
made a deposition that he and Miss
Pollard were through the form of a
mock marriage.
"Do you recollect going through
the form of a marriage with Mr.
Julian?” was Mr. Butterworth’s
next question.
"Not the slightest on earth Mr.
Butterworth,” said Miss Pollard. "I
have not the slightest recollection
of it.”
Miss Pollard was asked to de
scribe a visit to the house cf a jus
tice of the peace at Bridgeport, Ky,
with Alex Julian, Miss Pollard did
recollect, she said she went there
one Christmas day while visiting
her uncle George at Bridgeport.
There was quite a party there. ‘‘Of
course I have seen these references
in the papers to a mock marriage
at Squire Kensey’s house,” s»id
Miss Pollard, "but I assure you I
know nothing of it It could not
have happened for my uncle George
was there and uncle George was
dreadfully strict. Mr. Kenßey and
his wife and all his daughters were
there. It could not have happened.
I have no recollection of it.”
Miss Pollard said her visit to
Squire Kinsey’s was on invitation
from the Squire to her uncle and
his family, including herself, to
come there to drink egg nogg.
They went early Christmas morning.
She drink too much egg no 7g and it
made her feel sick, so she went
home. Julian was there, but she
persisted in her statement that
there had been no mock marriage
with him.
Mr. Butterworth handed Miss
Pollard a letter with a deep black
border and asked her if she had
written it. She read it carefully
and then dramatically, pronouncing
every word distinctly, she said: "I
did not write that letter. It did
not write it, how much it may look
like my hand writing. I did not
write it and no one can know it so
well as the man who is sitting
there. An expert has done this
letter.”
"Now Miss Pollard, do not do
that was,” said Judge Wilson,
“When Mr. Breckinridge came to
see you at the Wesleyan Seminary
the first time did he say anything
about having any business in Cov
ington k ?’, asked Mtjor Butter!
worth.
"No sir, he said he came to see
me, (emphasizing every word), and
he almost overpowered me with a
glance as he said so.”
After recess Mr. Butterworth
again took Miss Pollard’s engage
ment to Rosell and endeavored to
learn what degree of lover-like
familiarity existed between them
In one of her answers MiBS Pollard
made some reference to Rosell as
"an internal revenue collector.”
"What do you mean by that?”
asked Mr. Butterworth.
"You know,” said Miss Poliard,
smiling for the first time. “I do
not know.”
"Well, then, he is an applicant for
office in Mr. Breckinridge’s district,
and he was informed by that in
making his deposition against me ”
"Then he prevaricated? ’ said Ma
jor Butterworth.
"He has lied.” said Miss Pollard,
emphatically.
Recurring to the visit to Lexing
ton with (Jol. Breckinridge Miss
Pollard was asked what arrange
ments were made before she left
Cincinnati as to the place where
she Bhould ep6nd the night.
"We Bpoke of that,” said Miss
Pollard, "and Mr. Breckinridge said
I was too young a girl to spend the
night alone at a hotel, so he would
take me to a private house. He
took me to Sarah Guess,’ ”
"Who met you at the door of this
house?”
"Sarah.”
"Was anything said there in the
half hour before Mr. Breckinridge
went home about the character of
the house?’
"I only know,” said Miss Pollard
between her teeth, "that during
that half hour I gave my self, heart
and poul and body and life to that
man.”
"Up to that time were you a
virtuous girl?”
“ Yes, I was.”
“Did you have any fears for the
future at the time ? ”
"No. People usually don’t on
such occasaiocs, Mr. Butterworth.”
"Did you not know this was
wrong ? ’
“ ¥ea, but Mr. Breckinridge is
such a man that he can make it aii
seem right to love in that way.”
“Did you not know he was mar
ried ? ”
“Yes,” (sadly), “ ho told me that.”
“ And you loved him V ”
“I io.-jd him with all my heart
and soul—every word of his was a
religion to me—and he has brought
me all this misery. He has ruined
my life for me. ”
Miee Pollard’s voice had a tremble
in it during ail this examination,
but at her last words she broke
down and her answer was inter
posed with half-formed sobs.
Miss Pollard told of her return
to Lfxington to attend the Sayre
Institute at Breckinridge’s sugges
tion, and said that Rhodes paid for
her tuition and Breckinridge for
her board.
Mius Poliard said no one knew
that Breckinridge was paying her
board; he arranged matters so very
discreetly.
"Did Mr. Rodes know anything
about your relations with Breckin
ridge,” asked Msjor Butterworth.
"Indeed he did he not,” exclaim
ed Miss Pollard, "or Mr. Breckin
ridge would be dead.”
Then Major Butlerworth aßked if
while Miss Pollard was being kept
by Col. Breckinridge she was en
gaged to liozell and had the con
tingent contract of marriage with
Mr. Rhodes?
"Yes,” was the answer. "As hard
as it sounds, that was just the con
dition.”
Major Butterworth gradually led
up to the alleged offer of marriage
which Miss Pollard swore Col.
Breckinridge made to her in August,
1892, the day of her arrival from
the South. Miss Pollard said that
Col. Breckinridge took her to an as
signation house, but finally said:
"Madeline, this is not the proper
place to tell you what I have to
say.” They walked down Pennsyl
vania Avenue until they met a cab
ir. which they were driven out into
t iOc intry. While on this drive,
said Miss Pollard, the offer of mar
riage was made.
At this point the oourt adjourned
till tomorrow.

Movement of War Vessels
By Southern Associated .Press-
Washington, March 19 —Secreta
ry Herbert has ordered all the
American war ships away frcm Rio.
The New York will go to St Lucia,
W. T., there to await further in
Btructiona by cable from the Navy

go to Montevido, and then join the

These orders were dispatched on
receipt of the following cablegram
from Capt. Philip, commanding the
Charleston :
“Rio, March 19 Rio harbor is
clear of men of-war except the
Newark and Charleston. Today the
Detroit will sail for Hampton Roads.
The Portuguese vessel was the last
to leave. It is reported here that
Da Gama was a passenger on her.
The fever is increasing, and has
reached the epidemic stage, so that
the Biitish steamers change north

appear that there remains any fur

longer stay of the vessels would be
injurious.

put in a good word for the measure
in delivering it into the hands of
the Executive. He had voted against
the free coinage bill, and felt that
his recommendations would there
fore have weight.
The President will hove until the
afternoon on March 29*h to veto the
bill, otherwise at that time it will
become a law without hia action.
There is every reason to believe,
however, that he will dispose of it
