Seven For FarnSworth and Five
For Nevada Company.
MANY BALLOTS TAKEN
BUT THE VOTE WAS THE SAME
THROUGHOUT.
The Weary Jurors Discharged By
Judge Marshall-Case Will Prob
ably Not Be Tried Again Before
the May Term-over Hundred
Thousand Involved.

The jury in the case of the Nevada
company VS.. P. T. Farnsworth, upon
being called in by Judge Marshall
| shortly before noon yesterday, stated
that they were unable to agree, after
having taken a great many ballots,
which stood the same on the last as on
the first 1t is understood that the jury
stood five for the plaintiff and seven
for the defendant.
The jurors had been wrestling with
the case from 1880 Saturday afternoon,
and it was with the sense of apprecia-
ton of a square meal when, about 10
o'clock Sunday morning, they were
breakfasted at the Kenyon. Upon their
return. Judge Marshall called the jury
into court and inquired if a verdict had
been reached, Whereupon the foreman,
o. c. Beebe, announced the inability
to agree. Judge Marshall then dis
missed the jury.
The guess is offered that the five jul
rors who stood out for the plaintiff are
Z. X. Bassett P c.. Hoffman George
Arbuckle, of Salt Lake; Amos Cook of
Bountitdl and Elijah Ellison of Layton
This would leave for the defendant. o.
c. Beebe, w. A. Needham, William
Birkenshaw, w. S. Burton, of Salt
Lake; Hans Hassell of Mammoth, A r.
Anderson of Lehi and Edward Ander-
son of Moroni.
1t is not likely that the case will
again be tried before the May term
in 1899.
This case, which has occupied the
federal court during thirteen days, is
an attachment suit. wherein the Ne
vada company seeks to recover from
p. T. Farnsworth the sum of S110, 751.42.
Two causes of action are set forth.
in the first of which it is alleged that
the plaintiff paid over to Farnsworth,
as it's agent, the sum of $780, 900 for the
purchase of real estate and personal
property in Nevada, but that the sum
actually expended by Farnsworth was
only $19,24S.5S. leaving the sum of $780,
751.42 due the plaintiff.
In the second cause it is alleged that
the plaintiff gave Farnsworth, as it's
agent, $150000 to purchase the property
of the lone Gold Mining company, and
that Farnsworth only paid $4,000 for
it, and owes the plaintiff the balance
of $4,000.
From the two deals the company
claims Farnsworth is indebted to it in
the sum of S11O, 751.42.

MRS. HARRY CORSoN CLARKE.
Charming San Francisco Lady Is III
at the Knutsford.

Mrs Harry Corson Clarke, wife of the
well-known comedian. is at the Knuts-
ford i'll. Some days ago her arrival was
noted. but the cause of her stay in this
city was not known. 1t was Mrs. Clarke S
intention to go east TO join her husband.
but, being rather suddenly taken ill. she
decided to await his arrival here about
next Sunday, as he is booked to appear
at the Grand next week in his great sue
cess, What Happened to Jones'"
Despite her indisposition. Mrs. Clarke
granted Herald representative a brief
audience. She looked rather pale. and it
was plain the enforced stay has been
wearyinS.
ago she said, and it was my intention
to join my husband. but illness made it
necessary for me TO stop over.
Yes. Mr.. Clarke has been very sue
cessful.' she said, with evident pride, as
that subject was brought up. His Texas
tour has, especially, been a continuous
ovation as it were, and justly so. for he
has surrounded himself by a better COM
pany than ever before"
There is no conceaiing the fact that
Mrs. Clarke is proud of her husband
success. and all the talk about an es-
arrangement between them is branded as
the product of enemies, as all successful
players inevitably have.

Jean de Reszke's Salary.
New York SUM-


Jean de Reszke used to receive at the
opera a salary of 81 $50 and % per cent of
the receipts when they exceeded $500.
When he sang the receipts frequently
amounted TO more than $1,000, so that
his earnings amounted to a very fair
sum. But he was entitled to it, as with
out his presence on the stage there would
have been no $4,000 audience in the
theatre. This year he sings with
Maurice Grau under a different arrange
ment. He receives a salary. There were,
of course, performances at which he re-
ceived no percentages; but when that
happened it was a result which the tenor
was perfectly willing to accept. He knew
that he had not attracted the public that
gained him extra compensation. One
singer with Maurice Grau this winter has
made most unusual arrangement. He
receives payment not only when he
SINGS but also when he does not sing, in
case certain conditions exist II his
name has been announced for week and
he is taken i'll before his performance he
receives fone-quarter of his salary. He
exacts terms; he receives 81, 800 for every
appearance. But when he is announced
and does not sing he gets $780, The theory
is the same here that exists in the case
of NJ de ResZke. This tenor believes that
the announcement of his name will mean
a certain increase in the sale of seats.
and whether he appears or not he con
siders himself entitled to profit by that
element of his value to his impreSariO So
far even without appearing very fire.
oueIftly he has made a comfortable in
come, although only one-quarter of what
he would have earned if he had sung
every time his name appeared on the
posters. Such a contract is quite unpre-
cedented here. and there was many
beartache in the company when it was
learned that this ingenious plan had been
tried with success on the management.
The question of salaries at the Metropoli-
tan is always q curious one A SINGER
vet TO be heard here, who has a great
reputation in Europe, is said to receive
a salary but little larger than she gets in
Germany, and the probabilities are that
of the season after she has once been
heard.

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic

the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh rem

the Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-

the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-

Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only alb
solute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of
its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca
tarrh, but prevents. Every household
should be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs, colds and so forth.
