OF especial interest will be found Sal
lie Joy Whites description of the new
Leland Stanford, Jr., University in Cal
ifornia-that tender and magnificent
memorial by Senator and Mrs. Leland
Stanford. Mrs. White calls the article
1.-THE Boy who built College," and al
though the great school is built as a
memorial it was still SO clearly the
fruit of the dead boys desires that the
title is no misnomer. Molly Elliot Sea-
well has delightful characteristic tale
of school-boy life, F'Two Schoolmas-

boarding school life. The serial stories
of Jack Brereton's Three Months

striking Arabian story by Add ell
Ardavan," already grow absorbing even
in their second installment. The Amer
lean pale-face woman who was adopt

sketch of Seneca life in THE Straw

tho hero of sensational case in local
court circles, after wearing the stripes

beautiful inamorata, Laura Carney. He
went out one Sunday night and made a
last frantic appeal. for restoration. The

sideration for her mother. Both were
injured. Monahan was tried, convicted

States marshal in Carter County. Hun
nicut, will be remembered as the convict
who prevented the escape of his fellow
prisoners when, some time ago, while
mining, they dug through the side of
the mountain and reached daylight. For
several hours he stood guard at the hole,

attempted to come out. His conduct on
that occasion secured for him high favor
with the city officials, and, in conjunc-
ton with petition signed numerously
in East Tennessee and North Carolina,
resulted in his pardon.

Iremarlx, also, that business life is a
school for integrity. No man knows
what he will do when he is tempted.
There are thousands of men who have
kept their integrity merely because
they never have been tested. A man
was elected treasurer of the state of
Maine some years ago. lie was distin-
guished for his honesty, usefulness and
uprightness, but before one year had
passed he had taken of the public funds
for his own private use, and was hurled
out of Office in disgrace. Distinguished
for virtue before. Distinguished for
crime after. You can call over the
names of men just like that, in whose
honesty you had complete confidence,
but placed in certain crises of tempta-
tons they went overheard. Never so
many temptations to scoundrelisIn as
now. Not a law on the statute book
but has some back door through which
a miscreant can escape. Ali how many
receptions in the fabric of goods; so
much plundering in commercial life
that if man talk about living a life of
complete commercial accuracy there
are those who ascribe it to greenness
and lack of tact. More need of honesty
now than ever before, tried honesty,
complete honesty, more than in those
times when business was plain affair,
and voolens were woolens and silks
were silks and men were men.
How many men do you suppose there
are in commercial life who could say
truthfully: I'm all the sales 4 have
ever made have never overstated the
value Of goods; in all the sales have
ever made have never covered up an
imperfection in the fabric; of all the

NO VERDICT.
The Jury in the Palmer Case Could
Not Agree.
The Final Vote Stood Eight for Convic-
tion and Four for AcquittaI-
Not Unexpected.

Judge CARRIER yesterday forenoon dis
charged the jury in the Palmer murder
case, having become convinced that the
members could never agree upon a ver-
dict The jurors had been out since $50
O'Clock on Wednesday, and at no time
during that period had they been any
where near striving at unanimity of SEN
timent.
1t was about II o'clock yesterday when
Judge CARRIER called the jurors into the
Courtroom. He ssked them, individu-
ally, if there was any prospect OF their
agreeing, and they each declared there
was not. He then dismissed them, after
expressing his regret at the result of the
long, wearisome and expensive trial.
Palmer was remanded to the custody of
the Sheriff.
District Attorney Ryan then suggested
that the case be at once reset for trial, but
to this General A. l.. Hart objected. He
said he did not feel physically able to en-
ter again upon such a prolonged and
wearisome ordeal, and said further that it
would necessarily take considerable time
TO prepare for another trial, owing TO the
vast number of witnesses to be called.
Judge CARRIER announced that he could
a date for retrial of the case, but would
leave that for the Judge of the court to do.
1t is understood that the last vote taken
by the jury stood eight for conviction and
fourfor acquittal, as follows: For convic-
tion-W. II. Ellis, ID. w. Taylor, c. A.
Smith, James Senate, James Carbine, A.
l.. Warren, c. y. Smell and c. F. Will
Jams. For acquittal = Henry Gerber,
Charles Barnes, o. A. Henley and Donald
Mckay.
1t is learned from reliable source that
those jurors who held out for conviction
were willing to compromise on a verdict
nxlng the punishment at imprisonment
for life, but that those who believed in
Palmer's responsibility for the crime
remained firm and refused to agree to
anything but his acquittal.
1t is worthy of note-in view of certain
comments that had been made during the
trial regarding Palmer's connection with
prominent secret order, to the effect that
he would not Ee convicted, for that reason
that there were SIX members of that or
der on the jury, and that three of them
stood out for conviction and three for ac-
quittal. This fact should effectually dis
pose of the allegation that members of

A Suspected Murderer Who Livened
Up Sacramento.
The telegram appearing in yesterdays
RECORD UNION announcing the arrest of
j. Whitesides and a negro named r.
Goodridge on suspicion of numbering
Albert Lee at Fresno last Tuesday, re-
lates to the man Whitesides who was ar
rested here shortly after the fair by Officer
Talbot.
Whitesides lost some money in a faro
game here and then importuned Talbot
to recover the money for him by black
mailing scheme. He made so much fuss
about the matter and his pretenses to be-
ing detective that he was finally arrested
and charged with vagrancy and ordered
out of town.
He threatened Talbot's life while here,
after Yainly trying to get employment on
the police force. At Fresno he is said to
have accosted an evangelist named Gala
horn one night this week, asked for
money and threatened his life.
The negro was with him at the time,
and the next day the two were arrested
for the murder of Lee. Whitesides
claimed to have been left a fortune of
$4,000, which he squandered, and that
he was employed two years ago as de-
tectiYe in the Sydney Bell case.
The record-union., 1892-10-22

the order would not vote to convict one of
their fellow craftsmen.
The result of the trial was not unex-
pected. Although the District Attorney
and special counsel for the prosecution
left no stone unturned in their efforts to
prove the mental responsibility and con-
sequent guilt of Palmer, the general
opinion expressed during the trial, and
after the case had been given to the jury,
was that the latter would disagree.
The trial has been very expensive one
TO the county. Murder trials generally
entail great expense, but this one has
been unusually costly, owing to the great
number of witnesses summoned from a
distance.
