The Most stubborn Jury Yet.

4AO IxAO1t SS0oOVAA VAAy Low
The most remarkable case in Texas
legal history was tried at Oakland be-
fore Justice English-Mrs. Ella Halo
way versus J. II. Van Alstyne. The
case consumed the day and was given
to the jury at night. Before retiring
the jury demanded that each man be
paid his SO cent fee. The justice de-
INJURED and ordered them to bring in a
verdict, or they would get no fee. The
jury retired, and in Is minutes entered
court. They had sealed verdict.
Before turning it over to the justice
the jury struck for their hard earned
fees. Under protest the justice gave
each juror so cents. He opened the YER
dict, which read, sThe jury cannot
agree. - This enraged the court. He
demanded the so cents each juror had
been paid. The jury refused, and the
court ordered them locked up until
verdict was given pro or con.
After being out another hour the jury
reported they were still unable to agree.
Judge English then demanded the re-
turn Of the fees. The jurors refused to
surrender, and fine of So. SO each was
assessed and their incarceration order
ed. A compromise was finally reached
by four Of the jury returning the fees
and the other two paying the fine Of
$3.50. The higher courts will be in
ficted with the case.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

little stretching of the rules will make
it grand ball, concert, a banquet or

Frances willard on Marriage.


One of Frances Willard's intimate
friends says that the great temperance
leader is personally a lovely woman
with delicate features and dainty hands,
and that her evident fascination for
men Of taste is very evident. A gifted
man once wrote to der, Dear friend,
methinks your heart deceives you, for
when we meet, though you hardly look
at me, you speak kindly, and take
this as token. :" To which she replied,
Dear brother, this is the explanation:
I had a clear and direct gaze until study
weakened my eyes, and I protect them
now by studying the carpet.
So uaffected1y kind and cordial to all
mankind is this famous lady that many
Of them have paid her the compliment
Of offering her their hearts and hands.
Indeed so numerous and importunate are
her love letters that it is necessary to
have them answered by her secretaries
with the statement that she has no time
for other than business correspondence.
Some Of these letters Of late date prove
that age cannot wither nor custom stale
her infinite variety. Still, Miss Will
lard has a high opinion of men in gen
eral, though she has never honored any
man with her hand, and, to quote her
own words, "H there is spectacle
more odious and distasteful than a man.
who hates women, it is woman who
hates men," Hert heory Of marriage in
relation to society gives this postulate,
Husband and wife are one, and that
one is-husband and wife. -
