We don't know how to buy our blank books from manufacturers who 'use scraps In covers or have ill-paid binding. Our manufacturers don't know how to make the common cheap sorts and have us sell them for first class. They're afraid to that's a fact. We don't want to know how. But, we're wide awake enough to buy the best, and slow Astoria is wide awake enough to buy it from us. 4 Griffin & Reed. CALIFORNIA WINE HOUSE. Fine W inesa nd Mquors.

Hay, an attorney, who is some thing of a local Chauncey Depew, ap peared for the Kentucky congressman, and their statements were directed to support the contention that the hand of Madeline Pollard penned the black-bordered letter written in 1SS1, which she has most emphatically denied twice on the stand. Great stress is laid hv th defense upon the authenticity of this letter, not because It runs counter to the testimony of the plaintiff that Col. Breckenrldge first called upon her at the Wesleyan academy of his own voli tion, but because they think that she has been proven false on one Important detail, and that, her whole statement will be impeached. The signature to the letter also goes to support the opinion of the statement of the defense in mlhor detail, that Miss Pollard had adopted at that time the name of Breckenrldge as a middle name. This letter, which figured In the case, and which the defendant will fight to get before the Jury, Is as follows: "Wesleyan College, July 20, 1884. "To Dear Col. Breckenrldge: Your letr ter came to me Saturday. I am glad you told me it will be inconvenient to come out here to college, for If you had gone to ever such little trouble to lis ten to what sometimes overburdens a school girl's mind, you might be In clined to be provoked with yourself. A preacher's opinion of any little affair of mine would cause prei iature gray hairs, where your opinion might clear away all doubts and fear and let me be quite fiee-hearted again. I have prepared you for a divorce case, but listen, It Is worse than that.' If a certain person should advance funds for my tuition here at school for three, years, under promise that I marry him at the expira tion of that time, could he do anything If I would not marry him, and refund all he had advanced? I know you think, why the deception? But on no other terms will I agree. When a girl wants nothing but a good education and the means to obtain such are denied her, what Is she to do but take the only chance she Is ever likely to have? liked your face, and I am sure I would like you, and If at any future time you are In the city, and would care to come around, remember that home faces are always welcome. I am, very respect fully yours, "MADELINE B. POLLARD." For the first time, today a keen cross examination by Judge Wilson, whose work has been awaited with Interest by hts fellow-lawyers, was brought into play. It was first exercised on Major Moore, chief of police, who was called back to dispute some of Miss Pollard's statements regarding two interviews in his office, during which Col. Brecken rldge repeated his promise to marry her, and afterwards Mr. Wilson stirred up such a cloud of verbal dust around the expert testimony of Dr. Schaffer that the witness hardly knew whether the letter purported to have como from the plaintiff or defendant, or the reverse. Tomorrow bids fair to be the great day of the trial, when It Is expected the silver-haired defendant himself will take the stand. difficulties of the telegraphers are not yet all over. There Is no agreement on the wage schedule. That part of the dispute, therefore, will come before Judges Caldwell and feanford along with the schedules of other employes. The case will come up Thursday. WEATHER CONDITIONS. Washington, March 27.

Th court holds that as a war rant Is In the nature of a contract, 10 Per cent shall be paid upon all warrant Issued prior to the date of the change. The court says: "We have no Idea that the legislature contemplated that pub lic obligations of this class should be nepudlated.
