JURY DISAGREED
In the Case of Elijla Telles, Charg.
ed With Perjury.

Mrs. ElijIs Telles WAS tried on a
charge of perjury in Judge Walthall's
court yesterday. The jury did no,
agree on a verdic. and were discharg-
ed this morning.
Mrs. Telles is accused of testifying
falsely in the Garcia trial, that Garcia
was with her daughter on the day
O'Connor was shot. AT the trial evid-
ence was introduced to show that Gar
cha was at Phil Young's cafe during
the time he was supposed to have been
at Mrs. Telles' house. Mrs. Telles had
been warned against perjury and was
told the,penalty which would attach.
Yet che repeated her story three times
in court while under oath.
The question was whether the evid.
ence was material Or not, materially
being necessary to fix perjury.

NIT the mishap. This, it seemed, was the
final maladroit shock to his hopes. Then,
desperate, he found inspiration.
Taking his handkerchief as though it
had been the object of his fumbling
search, he suggested to Helen: LET me
ask Ladd over here a moment. He looks
quite alone"
'If you wish so," she assented, with so
little concern that he wondered.

he gave the champion his hand in the

When they were ali at Ladd's table,
they had a merry chat. Helen laughed
immoderately at Ladd's account of the
funny side of the race. Sterrin sat as
cheerful man on a pincushion.
They left Calyard's together. Ladd

has tried all manner Of devices to keep
the pupils from whispering. Yester-
day a new rule was enforced among the
boys, whereby when they are caught
whispering they must get up before
the school and publicly kiss some girl
designated by the teacher. AS all the
youths in the room are particularly
shy of the maidens, it is said that the
rule has the desired effect and lessons
are studied better than ever before.

When You're PeelIng Onions.

A Yankee authority gives this rem
edy for the discomfort which accom-
pantes the act Of peeling onions: The
pungent odor of the onion is due to a
sulphurous oil, which volatilizes rap
idly when the tissues Of the vegetable
are broken in any manner, and es-
pecially affects the delicate mem
branes surrounding the eyes. This ef-
feet, however, can be easily avoided
by sticking a small pared potato on
the end of the knife with which the
cutting is done. A chemical affinity,
which cannot be readily explained.
but which is none the less satisfactory
in its working, attracts the fumes and
their presence is not manifested to the
operator until the potato has reached
a certain degre of saturation, when 1t
can be readily replaced by another.
