"This alleged statement by Colonel

New York, Nov. 7. An almost In
credible record of crime ns an out
growth of tangled love affairs has Just
Ihsmi written down by the police of

Two completed their cowardice by tak

seven days there was a veritable storm
of suicide ami violence, all traceable
to the hot furv of disappointed love.

Thlsblll makes appropriations of num
erous and varied amounts, for many
cities, In a great number of states.and
of courso was a popular measure. It
was called thcOmnlbus hill, and passed
both houses with votes from all over
the F nlted States. Pollard's helii was
not needed -Indeed he could not have
prevented Its passage had he tried.
And this is the truth about the build
ing site appropriation of 7,.riOO. Pol
lard did not do anything when the op
portunity presented itself or ho would
have procured an amendment, when
thlsblll was being considered In the
house, raising tho amount from $7,.r00
to 7',(X or $100,000 for both a site
and building. Pollard must think his
chances are slim when he tries to fool
the voters by representing that he has
done so much fur us-more than his
duty, and accomplished more than his
predecessors. We owe him nothing.
In the passage of bills of this nature,
politics does not figure and no doubt a
democrat would have done as much,
yes more than Pollard would, or could.
When Pollard does any thing for this
city It will be when he cannot do oth
erwise.

The excellent program provided for
the occasion was Introduced by a solo
by Mrs. J. W. Gamble, who rendered
the selection In a very charming man

Rev. J. II. Salsbury, who more than
gra tilled the anticipations of his audi

The evening was then spent In a
social time until a late hour, when de

the ladles of tho society. A punch

regret that the social time might not
be prolonged indefinitely that the par

This entertainment was a novel one
