Now, therefore, '. the president of the

Behind Closed Doors.
Washington, March 24. Arguments
were heard by Jndge Bradley today, be
hind closed doors, on the admission or ex
clusion of certain objectionable passages
in the depositions of witnesses for the de-
fense. The reason for the secrecy was to
prevent . the objectionable testimony
from being made public through the
newspapers, thus bringing it in a meas
ure before the jury, who are to be kept
in ignorance of the evidence until the
judge decides that it is admissible. The
most interesting points argued were In
reference to admitting, the depositions
of Alex Julian, W..W. Boselle and Dr.
Lewis. Julian is referred to by Miss
Pollard as "Mv blind Rwppt.hpnrf mv
' modern Barnabas," who desposed that
one Christmas day, while at the house
of Squire Kinsley, Miss Pollard, alter
drinking too much egg nog, went through
a form of mock marriage with Julian

and proposed they carry out the marital
relation. The testimony of Dr. Lewis
was that Colonel Swppe, who was killed
in a street duel in Lexington .had request
ed hinr to perform an operation on Miss
Pollard, with whom he said he had be
come ' involved. Lewis did not know
whether the Mies Pollard mentioned was
Madeline or some other Miss Pollard.
W. W. Roselle is the man who deposed
that he had taken liberties with Miss
Pollard while she was ' a student at
Wesleyan college. The arguments' con
tinued five hours, and Judge Bradley
then' took the questions . submitted
under consideration, to decide them Mon
day morning, when the court meets
again. .' Miss Pollard's counsel suprised
the defense by making a -sweeping
objection to all their depositions, on the-
ground that they had been taken in an
irregular manner. ., . '
A Protest From Women.
New York. March 24. The fourth an
nual business meeting and election of
officers of the National Christian League
for the Promotion of Social Purity was
held this afternoon at the headquarters
of the league. The meeting was well at-,
tended. It was a long one, for there was
much important business to be transact
ed. . One cause of the long continuance
of the meeting was an animated discus
sion concerning Representative Breckin
ridge, in which the ladies became in
volved.. They, finally decided to send a
memorial to congress protesting against
allowing Colonel Breckinridge to retain
his seat. They -also decided to send a
communication to Mrs. . Breckinridge,
formerly Mrs.' Wing, calling upon her in
the name of womanhood to renounce her
husband, and to refuse to live with him
longer In addition to this, they to call
upon the presbytery with which Colonel
Breckinridge is connected, asking to
have the representative expelled.

The Coxey army of rag-tag and bob

all . predictions to. . the contrary. The
army at Massillion, Or.," is encamped
under a big circus tent and provisions
are pouring in by the carload. Populists
all along the proposed line of march are
preparing-, to furnish them with

street Fakirs AVho : sell Harmless Books
Under False Pretenses.
Even the itinerant vendors of small
wares on the streets, who usually dis
pose of their little novelties and what
nots so readily, have had to resort to
practices quite objectionable this sea
son, remarks Country Gentleman. v For
instance, here is a man who has an
armful of paper-covered books to sell.
The book is a very light . piece of fic
tion, a tale of love, written by some
embryonic and ambitious scribbler. It
nas no literary pretensions, and is
meritorious in no way, except that it
is innocent of all grossness and ob
scenity. A child might read it with
out risk of -irritating- its moral epi
dermis. Such a book would not tempt
one man in a thousand, even at the
nominal charge of five cents a copy.
Indeed, the same books are beinsr of
fered from a peddler's cart, two blocks
above, at that price, with scant suc
cess.' The vendor in question has been
long- at his trade. Intrigne is neces
sary. Throwing- his heavy coat about
the books, thus covering-, them from
view with the exception of their red
backs, he moves cautiously and slowly
across tne street and back again. Io
policeman (it is apparently a -police
man that he is trying- to tevade) being
in sight, he exclaims in a fitting tone
for the occasion: "Fifteen cents
gents; help yourselves. Suppressed
edition of the latest craze." Don't stop,
g-ents; move right along." Humanity
pricks up its ears. Here is question
able literature for sale. . The imagina
tion appeals to the grosser instincts,
and a youth slips fifteen cents into the
extended hand and pulls a book from
the pack. . "Help yourselves and move
right along. Don't collect a crowd.
Use care, now, and pass alonjr," excit
edly continues the imposter. A gray
haired man drops a copy into his over
coat pocket without looking at the
title. The example becomes con
tagious, victims increase, and soon the
stock in trade is disposed of..
When a slip, from one of the rose . trees
near Omar IChayam's grave, grafted on
an English stock, was planted at the
head of the grave of Edward Fitz
gerald, whose translation - of the
"Ruba iyat" has become such a house
hold book, Omar's prophecy was
doubly "verified. That prophecy was:
"My tomb sha'l be a spot where the
north- wind ma-ir scatter roses ovef it."

Mr. and Mrs. Estea were on their way to
Montana, Mrs. Dr. Houck on her way
to see her mother in Portland, and Miss

worse place. ' '
Friday night a select dance was given
at Alec Trent's on Shoe Fly which was a
success, an unusual occurrence for this
place. . But the secret of the success was
that Mr. Trent rifled packets of weapons
and locked them up until they, were
called for as the owner was ready to take
bis exit for . home. We would like to
give Mr. Trent three cheers for that act
of justice. .Where there "was justice
dealt out so deservedly, there was also a
little romance. It was -as unique as
amusing and gives the impression that
Mitchell and Shoo Fly people are not
devoid of generosity and sense of the en
tire fitness of the situation. Two young
men (to mention their name, please let
me forbear) went and most assuredly
each had with him his best girl. But
was it? We will see. The dance went on
merrily some hours when one of the fel
lows had lost his best girl, and one of
the best girls had lost her best beau,
and what more could be done than " to
sympathize one with the other ; when a
reasonable length of time had passed
the lost put in an appearance: Jokes
were passed between the pairs and each
seemed pleased with the exchange,' and
when the clarion notes from the barn
yard trumpet sounded the blast for the
break of day as well as the break of the
the dance, there . had been a friendly
agreement that each fellow had made a
mistake and did not take his best girl to
the dance, bit with an even trade they
took them homer. . y
A report is to the effect that Jack Ham
let was surrounded. He was seen at a
distance of a hundred and fifty yards by
the sheriff and a deputy. The sheriff
called a halt and raised his gun to fire
when the deputy cried "Don't shoot, that
is Mr. Gilliam," and before they were
Satisfied . of Hamlet's identity be had
safely gained a thicket, but almost ii
mediately be was surrounded by a posse
of men who had, at last reports, kept
him there all night and a part of a day
without blankets, food or fire, which
must be very unfavorable to nis comfort,
as the place is situated at the : foot of
big mountain' and there is plenty of
snow in the vicinity for a mile or two
around. . With that there is no posssble
chance for him to escape, since he could
be tracked without difficulty. Near the
thicket is an old deserted cabin where he
had some provisions and blankets he
had stolen from . sheep camps and
cellars which he had frequented of late
and always went free handed. Hamlet's
aiding place was uorse-snoe, 'two or
three miles from Mr. Chapman's and the
thicket is an excellent place for one in
hiding, as it is almost impenetrable, but
the chances are they will get him within
a few days. .'
Later News of Hamlet, just received,
is that he has made good his escape and
at present his whereabouts are unknown,
but think he is in the John Day rim-
rocks, since ' they traced him in that
direction several miles.
