THROUGH EVANGELIST MOODY
The Pollard-Breckinridge Case Still
Occupies Attention Foreign and'
Domestic News.
JOVIAL JOE BLACKBURN.
Converted by Moody, the Evangelist,
Be Will Lead a New Life.
Washington, March 14. Every
United States senator found in bis mail
yesterday a little package of religious
tracts encircled by a rubber band and
bearii- .on its face the words, "Compli
' ments of J. SI C. Blackburn." This
was the popular Kentucky senator's de
vice for announcing to bis associates
. that he had abandoned forever bis old
life and entered upon a new and untried
existence, as' the result of the convict
ing eloquence of Evangelist Moody, who
has been holding revival meetings . in
Washington . for a month. Vp-v early
in the course of the Moody n.eciings the
Kentuckian began to exhibit remarka
ble interest. He- became a regular at
tendant, eat on the platform night after
night within a few feet of Moody, and it
was noticed that the two had fiequent
conversations together. Then . Mr.
Blackburn began to invite some of bis
friends to the meetings and everybody
understood that be was very much im
pressed, but the idea that jovial "Joe"
Blackburn, who had for bis whole life
led the gay existence .which is peculiarly
adapted to the Kentucky 'temperament,
should- really become converted by
Moody's teachings and enter the work
of evangelization'himself even in a small
way, never entered anybody's head.
The grave and aggressive senators, from
the aged Morrill down to the youthful
Dubois, are wondering which of them
is to be influenced by Joe Blackburn's
change of heart ' and how far the elo
quent and big-hearted Kentuckian's
new enthusiasm will carry him.
THE BRECRINBID6K CASE.
Sister Cecilia Testifies in the Pollard
,. Breckinridge Case.
Washington, March 13. During the
morning there were no ladies in the
court where the Pollard case is on, not
even Misa Pollard appearing. Her at
torneys have not yet decided whether
the plaintiff will be placed on the stand
to testify, as she is in such a nervous
state they fear she would ' not be able to
stand the ordeal. The reading of depo
sitions occupied the court until the noon
adjournment. . The first witness in the
afternoon was Sister Cecilia, a Sister of
Charity of Cincinnati. She said that in
1884 she had the sister in charge of the
oonvent at Norwood, O.
"Do you recall that in 1884 there was
a person there by the name of Bar

who was visited by a. female doctor from
Cincinnati?" ":
' "There was one who was visited twice
by Dr. Mary Street." '
The four 'volumes of Irving, which
bad figured mysteriously in the case,
were placed before the sister and she
said : . .
' "I was presented with a. set of books
like those by a lady who had been, a pa
tient in the asylum in August, 1885, but
I cannot say whether these are the iden
tical ones."
She eaid she bad left the books at
Norwalk. The lawyer tried to prove
they were given her by Miss Pollard,
but she could not remember who gave
the books. - She was next asked regard
ing the contents of a letter received by
her from Miss Pollard, and the court ad
journed during an argument over the
admissibility of the evidence.
Judge Bradley this morning decided
he had no Jurisdiction in the face slap

court-room. He said he had beard
some of the counsel were armed, and
cautioned them against violating the
law.
Washington March 14. The testi
mony of Sister Cecilia was resumed in
the Pollard-Breckinridge case today.
The question at issue was the competency
of the witness in the identification of
Miss Pollard as the woman who had
been treated in the asylum at Cincinnati.
The court ruled out various questions to
bring out, this , point, and the plaintiff
took exception. ' Sister Cecilia testified
two or three ladies in' that retreat veiled
their faces when they thought there was
danger of being recognized by visitors.
The name of Burgoyne, supposed to be
that under which' Miss Pollard was in
the asylum, war unfamiliar to ber.
Cross-examination was brief and unimportant-
A deposition of Kate Terry
Kane, of Cincinnati, a physician, re
membered Miss Pollard in a house in
which Mrs. Kane and Mrs. 'Dr. Buch
anan practiced; as a patient of Dr.
Buchanan under the name of Louise
Wilson, she identified Miss Pollard posi
tively. Miss Pollard had a miscarriage.
Mrs. Kane asked her why she did not
marry the author of her misfortune.
Miss Pollard replied she could not ; ' he
had ruined ber, and she loathed, him and
would not marry him. ' "

of times. Mrs. Bachman tried to help
her husband, but was held by Petray's
father. Blood spurted from Bachman'e

ing the country for him. '
A rains t the House of Lords.

nad dec a to move the rejection of the
amended address- in reply to the queen's
speech, looking to the abolition of the
house of lords, when it is put. from the
chair, ' and substitute . another short
address in reply. -'It was a proceeding
for which the eover nment held them
selves entirely responsible. They could
nofc-fesent to the sovereign a document
for which they were not .prepared to
accept' the entire responsibility. The
avowed object of the amendment was a
definite form of resistance to the lords,
The government fully 'accepted Glad
stone's declaration onThe subject. He
had stated yesterday that the govern
ment proposed to oppose Balfour's doc
trine that the commons was to be sub
ject to the control of the . lords.

COMES DOWN IN A HURRY.
A Canadian Snowstorm Causes Trouble
Between Citizens and Corporation.
In Ottawa a snowstorm comes -without
heralding, says a writer in the Bos
ton Transcript. You look out of the
window and see light flakes falling,
and that is all, till the next day's pa
per announces that trains are from one
to sixteen hours late. A -visit to the
post office discovers the fact that thp
mail is tied up for the day; cannot get
in or t out. : Heavy snowfalls mean a
problem for the new electrics. Electric
sweepers, with prodigious brushes
slanting on before, go' coursing' -down
the main street in a fleecy cloud of il
their .own making, startling the stead
iest horses and halting an audience of
gazing pedestrians all along- the line.
But car tracks are thus cleared at the
expense of convenience to shopkeepers.
.Sleighs tilt along dangerously toward
the tracks, and all ' near street ap
proach to - stores is impossible. , , A
pitched battle.-in consequence rose
one day between -tradesmen and car
company; raged far and long, assisted
by small boys. - Snow fiercely shoveled
back on the track was removed as
rapidly by. the 'giant sweeper, aided by
lesser electric power roaring back and
forth through the. battlefield.' Com
promise followed, and then peaceful
industry; gangs of men taking the dis
puted snow away. Sidewalk plows
quickly clear the way for foot passen
gers after a storm. One is startled by
meeting a -horse advancing smartly
along the crowded sidewalk, scatter-'
ing comers in all haste into street and'
doorways, tugging past with plow and
husbandman with a throng of people
in the-f urrow in odd processional eifect.
The wide white path is made as smooth
as concrete, stretching away-unsullied
in the less busy districts down straight,
tree-bordered avenues, past tall, snow
heaped stone gateposts and fantastical
ly snowed-up fences and houses. The
pretty picture stays day by day prac
tically unaltered, for nature in Canada
has no midwinter business in the way
of altering her handiwork.
- A Gentle Reminder..
A minister had traveled .some. dis
tance to preach at a small town, and
at the conclusion of the morning
service waited for some one to invite
him to dinner, but the-congregation
gradually dispersed and' left him
standing alone. Finally he stepped up
to a . gentleman '- and said:' "Brother,
will you go home to dinner with, me
to-day?" "Where do you live?" asked
the gentleman. .. "About . eighteen
miles from here," was the unexpected
reply. . "No, but you must dine with
me," said ' the ' gentle man, ' with a
flushed face; which invitation the
clergyman gravely accepted. ... .
