“To Remove Paint.
“Sit down on it before it is dry."—(Texas Siftings)
That’s a good way—easy, too. And another
way is to do your cleaning in the old-
fashioned way with soap: the necessary rub-
bing takes off the paint along with the dirt,
but this is very tiresome work.
You ought to do your house cleaning v ith
Pearline; that's the modern
way—easiest and most eco-
Ijlirk nomical way—takes away the
dirt easily and leaves the paint.
Saves rubbing, saves work,
saves time, saves whatever is
cleaned. Use Pearline (with-
out soap) on anything that water doesn’t hurt

Awards tho Plaintiff •15,000
Washington, April 14—Foreman
Charles R. Cole, of the civil court jury,
at 4:45 o'clock Saturday afternoon
announced a verdict for the plaintiff,
Madeline Pollard, for 115,000 damages
from Congressman \V. C. P. Breckin-
ridge for breaking hi* contract to
marry her. thus ending the long and
exciting Itreckinridge-Pollard breach
of promise trial. Sensations had
fairly crowded into the last day of
the trial. There had been some
of the most dramatic scenes which ever
stirred the dingy little court room,
reeking, as it was, with the memories
of celebrated cases. There was an ap-
proach to a personal collision between
Judge Wilson and Attorney Charles
Stoll during the magnificent closing
arguineut of the Washington lawyer,
followed by talk of a duel, and Judge
Itradley, in his charge to the jury,
scored CoL Phil Thompson ns a lawyer
is seldom spoken of in court
The jury retired at 8:07 p. m. The
first ballot taken was upon the merits
of the case, leaving out of considera-
tion the question of the amount of
damages. It resulted In eleven votes
for a verdict in favor of the plaintiff
and one vote for the defendant There-
upon the dissenting gentleman was
figuratively cornered by his colleagues,
and for some time was argued with. In
speaking of this discussion afterward.
Foreman Cole said that the jurymen
displayed fully as great a familiarity
with the points of the testimony as had
been evidenced*by the lawyers in their
arguments. They laid the case fully
before the olslurute juryman, called
for the grounds on which he based his
lx-lief, and were finally aide to over-
come hitn by sheer force of logic.
The next question to 1 e settled was
the figure ut which the damages should
he rated and upon this matter there
was the widest possible difference.
Two or three jurors thought the full
amount sued for (450,000) should be
awarded Foreman Cole said that a
verdict of $1 would vindicate Miss Pol-
lard und punish Mr. Breckinridge suffi-
ciently, and he thought it wns unnec-
essary to impose any great financial
punishment upon him. Dis-usuion of
this matter followed until the usual
course was udopted. each juror writing
the amount he considered just upon a
si ip of paper and a balance being struck
The amounts ranged from II to 450,000,
and #15,000 the average.
The jury returned their verdict for
the latter amount and the defendant
gave notice that he would move for a
new trial.
’1 hat Miss Pollard will lie financially
bettered bv the result of the case is
not probable, tiecause it is well under-
stood. and has been said on trinl, that
Col Breckinridge has no property. He
has lived up to his income for years,
and ulthough his wife has money it
does not seem likely that she will care
to expend it to satisfy the judgment.

who disembarked on the frontier of
Uruguay after having been driven out
of the state of J’io Grand do Sul by tie
troops of President I’eixoto, have stir
rendered to the Uruguayan authorities
and have been disarmed and the rebel-

pletely collapsed.
The state of siege at Uio de Janeiro

of Adm. de Niello and the insurgent

HE'D LOST TWO THAT WAY.
The lleetle-llroweil Man Knew What He
Waa talking About.
Among the people waiting in the de-
pot at the foot of Brush street two or
three evenings since was a citizen who
expected his wife on an incoming train.
He didn't tell anybody that he expect-
ed her, but his looks and actions gave
him away. He skated up and down to
see if the train was on time. Then he
rushed out and engaged a hack. Then
he promenaded around and wiped hit
brow, anti he was impatiently watch-
ing the clock when a sawed-off, beetle-
browed man, who was evidently yearn-
ing to dash somebody's bright hopes to
earth, slid up to him and queried:
“Expectin' some one, eh?"
“Yes, sir."
“Not your mother-in-law?"
“No, sir."
“Wife, probably?"
“Yes."
“Bin away long?"
“Over two weeks."
‘H omin’ on this train?”
“Yes."
“Wall, I dunno.” continued the man,
as he rublietl his back against the ticket
window shelf. “I wouldn’t be too en-
thusiastic about it Witutnen are
mighty onsartin. I've had two of ’em
run away from me. Is your wife any
hand to make acquaintances while
traveling?"
“No. sir."
‘H'ouldn’t lie induced to elope?"
“Sir. Do you intend to insult me?1
“Gosh! no. I wouldn’t in-nlt nobody
nor nothing. Could your wife l*> car-
ried away by good looks and lots of
money?"
“If yon wasn’t an old man I’d thump
you for your impudence!” exclaimed
Ihe husband, as he grew red all over.
“You would! Wall, I won't talk to
you. If your wife comes in on the train,
all right; if she doesn't come, you
needn't blame tne."
He went into the sitting-room a:td
presently the train canteen. The hus-
band dodged about as if he was walk-
ing on glass, and the passengers came
out one by one until the coaches were
empty. There was no wife. It was
ten minutes before the husband could
give up, an«l when he did and started
out doors the old man lounged out and
said:

men just that way, and I knew what
was talking about!"—Detroit Free
Press.
