JURY FAILED
TO AGREE

| ing for the night. The gray OF
dawn found the young woman
pale and haggard seated upon the
edge of the unused cot, her head
resting in her hands. So sure of
prompt acquittal was she that she
had packed her clothing and eff
fects in a suit case.
This morning she was brought
over to the prisoners pen in the
Criminal court building, where
she was greeted by her waiting
father affectionately. Have no
fear, my girl" he said, tenderfy,
"God is with us" Never before
in the history of murder trials
have police had to cope with such
swarms of people as last night
and this morning. Not until long
after midnight throngs began to
melt away and hours before the
building was thrown open this
morning people occupied places
of vantage and waited. The time
set for reconvening court this
morning was 10 80.
Eleven o'clock came, and no
word from the jury had been re-
ceived. Counsel waited in the
room adjoining court, while JUS
tice Davis remained in his room.
At II 80 a Deputy Sheriff was
sent to bring jury into court. The
jury answered they had not' yet
agreed. Men were sent back to
the jury room.

THE TRUSTS AND HEARST.
When It Comes to Using the Check
Book the Yellow Peril to the
Democracy Isn't In It.

Some of the anti-Hearst democrats
are appealing to the republicans to
help defeat the New York editor for
the st. Louis nomination. They in
dulge in strong language, and declare
that his candidacy deserves rebuke, ir-
respective of party. Everybody, 1t is
stated, should take alarm at such
methods of campaigning. and especial
ly for the highest Office within the
peoples gift.
This appeal, says the Washington
Star, is robbed of all force and made
quite ridiculous by the attitude Of the
trusts. Mr.. Hearst Is very rich man,
a lavish spender, and is very anxious
to be president. But his pile is small
when compared with the combined
piles of those trust magnates, who just
now are figuring industriously on con-
trolling the st. Louis convention. They
have dollars to his cents, and they are
putting up quite literally. In the well
accredited gossip of the day, there is
almost an open offer to the effect that
If the democratic party will make its
nomination in accordance with the
trust wishes and interests it's cam
paign fund shall be the largest on
record, and sufficient for every pur-
pose. Mr. Cleveland is preferred.
AS there is an auction on as to st.
Louis. therefore, why should the re-
publicans take sides? They will do
well to keep out of it and await the
result with coniposure. They will have
enough to do afterward in their cam
paign against the highest bidder. II
Mr.. Hearst outbids the trusts he will
prove very active antagonist, and
If the nomination is knocked down to
the trusts they will move heaven and
earth in their effort to land their man.
The republicans should not exercise
themselves at all until the common en-
envy presents himself
For a time Mr.. Hearst seemed to
hold the record for audacity in the
political world. No man before him
had played the game quite so frankly
or joyously on such lines. But with
in the past six months the trusts have
done some business themselves, and
shown that IL the way to the white
house can be opened by check book,
they are prepared and disposed to per-
form the work. If they win at ST. Louis
Mr.. Hearst will have made them pay
for the prize. and IL he wins they will
have made him pay pretty penny for
his whistle.

MONKEYS THAT WORK HARD
In Some Parts Of India They Are
Made to Keep in Motion-Fans
to Cool the Natives.

Monkeys actually are made to work In
Malabar, India, which Is perhaps the only
place In the world where they earn their
salt. The Malabar monkey is of the fine
species known as the langur. 1t is very
warm in Malabar, and there Is fan
called the punka, which used to be kept in
motion by slave. 1t required a slave to
work each punka; but now every punka
in Malabar is worked by monkey. 1t
was an English officer who conceived the
idea of making the langur work in that
manner. The fan Is movable frame.
covered with canvas and suspended from
the ceiling. Themotion is caused by pull
ing cord. The officer tied the hands Of
the langur to one Of the cords, and then
by means of another cord put the machine
in motion. OF course, the monkeys
hand went up and down, and the animal
wondered what sort Of a game was being
played. Then the officer patted its head
and fed 1t with candy. till soon the langur
thought 1t fine fun to work the punka.
The experiment was successful. and now
thousands of monkeys are In harness.
