ANOTHER MISTRIAL Jury in Nan Patterson Case Failed to Agree on a Verdict TflE SAME RESULT AS FORMERLY After Nearly 13 Hours' Deliberation, With an Interval For Supper, the Jury Entrusted With the Fate of Caesar Young's Alleged Murderess Proves No More Able Than Its Pre decessors to Reach a Verdict. New York, Special.-At 1:30 o'clock Thursday morning the jury in the case of Nan Patterson, tried for. the third time on the charge of murdering Caesar Young, was called into the court room by Recorder Goff, When the 12 men were in their places and the court offi cials had all arrivel, the recorder asked why the defendant had not been brought into court. A deputy sheriff replied that she had been feeling ill and had retired, but was then being dressed. After a wait of 12 minutes, Miss ' Patterson appeared looking pale and in a highly nervous state. "Gentlemen, have you been able to reach an agreement?" asked the re corder of the jury. "No, sir," replied the foreman. "Is there any question of law or evidence in which I can instruct you? Is there any way in which the court can help you?" The foreman looked for an instant at his fellowmen, then turning to the recorder, said: "No, sir, I don't be lieve you can help us." "Then you will retire to reconsider the matter." JURY DISCHARGED. The jury filed out and the court room was cleared. Recorder Goff re mained in his chamber ready to re ceive a verdict if rendered or to fur ther instruct the jury. Upon being as sured that there was no chance of an agreement, he discharged the jury. While the jury considering her case was still out, Nan Patterson sat in her ceil in the Tombs, buoyed up by the hope that at the end of their delibera tion thc twelve men would agree to a verdict of not guilty. Miss Patterson's hope were based partly on rumors which were current about the Criminal Court building, that the first ballot taken in the jury room were decidedly in her favor. The jury had had the case since shortly after 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. During the afternoon the jury sent to the court rooms for articles of cloth ing worn by Caesar Young at the time he met his death, and the skeleton which was exhibited during the trial by the prosecution in its endeavor to show that the victim of the tragedy could not have inflicted the wound him self. At 1.35 the jury, recorder and other court officials had assembled in the court room. Recorder Goff demanded to know why Nan Patterson was not present, when he was informed that she was ill. He gave orders directing that she be produced immediately. CHARGE TO THE-JURY. Recorder Goff in his charge to the jury said: "You must not think that, because of the humble position of this woman, you should not give her the same con sideration as if she occupied a more exalted position in society. Whatever her position, shr is entitled to the same legal rights as the most prominent and most conspicuous. The recorder described the two de grees of murder and manslaughter in the first and second degrees, which, he said, he apprehended by the request to charge, was thought by counsel to be applicable in the case, and proceeded: "I understand that there is no claim on the part of the defense that if the defendant committed this homicide it was either justifiable or excusable. I also understand that the defense claims that the crime was murder in the first degree or nothiag. But you are not bound to accept the arguments of counsel as to the nature of this crime. You are the judges of the facts, if there was murder, and rn what de grce. The crucial question is, 'Did the man kill himself or did this defendant fire th" fatal shot?' "If the accused fails to take advan tage of her privilege to make a de fense, under advice of her counsel, her failure to do so must in no way be held against her. NEED TO PROVE MOTIVE. "Much has been said relating to the motive which actuated thia defendant," he continued. "The prosecution claims that she shot the man because he had cast her off as his mistress. But it is not necessary to prove motive to con vict of murder. If it is shown that a motive existed, then it tends to sup port tue circumstances^ BuUo cto'4tTrnr motive must be proved, not imagined.' Before giving the case to the jury Recorder Goff ruled on the requests to charge interposed in Miss Patterson's behalf. He refused to submit ene ol the requests, saying that it would b a direction to the jury to acquit the defendant. He told the jury, however, that they might disregard the testi mony of Julia Smith if-they thought il right to do so. He also refused to charge requests concerning PawnbroK er Stern and the failure of the defense to call J. Morgan Smith. He said that claims on either side were not to be considered.

CHICAGO IN BAD WAY Labor Strike Assumes Alarming; Pro. portions and Bloodshed Results SHOOT AND CLUB ON SUSPICION Fighting Was Even More Savage Than Monday's, Men Being Shot Down and Beaten or Kicked Nearly to Death in the Heart of the Business Section. Chicago, Special.-The death of one . man and the injury of scores oi others was the immediate result of Tuesday's fighting between the striking teamsters and their sympathizers on the one side, and the police and the non-union men on the other. There were riots in all parts of the city. Men were clubbed and stoned almost to death within a square of police headquarters, and five miles away men were shot down in the 6trnets. At a hundred places between these two extremes of distance there were assaults and fights in the streets. Non-union men were pelted with stones, bricks and every other conceiv able sort of missies. They were drag ged from their wagons, beaten, club bed and stamped upon. EMPLOYERS DISUNITED. The Team Owners' Association, which employs none but union team sters, flatly refused to make deliveries to any of ?he firms involved in the strike, when asked to do so by the Em ployers' Association at a conference at the Union-League Club. When the em ployers received this ultimatum they notified the team owners that unless the request that no discrimination be made in deliveries were granted, an ef fort would be made to have all exist ing contracts between team owners and the business house!? and the railroads cancelled. Ask For Troops. Chicago, Special.-Rioting in the streets in connection with the team sters' strike was so prolonged and so fierce that many of the leading busi ness men have concluded that there will be neither peace in the city nor safety for business interests until the State militia has been called out to restore order. A committee of members of the Em ployers' Association left for Spring field to confer with Governor Deneen and to request him to give orders to the State troops. The labor unions have several representatives at the Slate capital, and it is likely that they will also be heard before is taken by the Gf^fvnor. Chief of Police O'Neillsa^ie is confident that he has con^rfFol of the situation and can J)??ppeace in the city. Mayor DljJ~rfne supports him in this view and as declared that in his opinion the emergency has not arisen requiring the presence of troops. BUSINESS MEN'S PLEA. On the other hand, business men point to the long list of injured which marked the rioting of Tuesday and the greater number of persons who were hurt Wednesday, and declare that these lists of injured alone are suffi cient proof that the police department is not sufficiently strong to cope with the situation. No complaint is made against the police department, for the officers hnve dispersed every mob with which they have come in contact and have guarded wagons night and day with tho greatest vigilance. But de spite the utmost efforts of the police fighting continues in the streets, and is, if possible, more vicious on each succeeding day. While policemen have been able to disperse mobs and guard the wagons, they have not been able to prevent the many attacks that are made on non-union men in the business of the city alone. The situation, business men say, will be ten-fold worse when express wagons and retail delivery wagons are sent to remote parts of the city. Despite the orders of Mayor Dunne, many wagons of concerns against which strikes have been declared were handled by men armed with rifles and shot guns. Iron and Steel Workers Meet. Detroit, Mich., Special.-The thir tieth annual convention of the Amal gamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers began here, with a large number of delegates in attendance. A complete reorganization of the asso ciation is being urged by several of the lodges.

For Use In Telescopes Nothing Haa Been Found So Good. The astronomer after the experience :>? many ,'ears has found that the spider furnishes the only thread which "Tn be successfully used in carrying on his work, writes Ambrose Swazey, in the Scientific American. The spider lines mostly used are [rom one-fifth to one-seventh of a thousandth of an inch in diameter and, in addition to their strength and elasticity, they have the peculiar property of withstanding greL'. changes ol' temperature;" and often when measuring thc sun spots, al though the heat is so Intense as to crack the lenses o?.' th? micrometer, 'eyepiece, yet the spider lines are not in the least injured. The threads of the silkworm, al though of great value as a commer cial product, are so coarse and rough compared with the silk of the spider that they cannot be used in such in struments. Spider lines, although but a frac tion of a thousandth of an inch in diameter aro made up of several thousands of microscopic streams of fluid, which unite and form a singlo line, and it is because of this that they remain true and round under the highest magnifying power. An instance of the durability of the spider lines is found at the Allegheny observatory, where the same set of lines in the micrometer of the tran? sit instrument has been in use shice 1859. Fishing for a License. A good-natured German located in a certain Pennsylvania town a few years ago, and apparently had no def inite business. Every morning regu larly he would go to the creek that ran through the town and fish for black bass. The first mess that he caught was given to the minister o? the village church. Some one, seeing the German on the bank, said to him: "What are you doing?"| "Oh," he remarked, "I'm fishing for a license." The following <3ay six fine trout were delivered at the home of the school-teacher. The day after that the leading banker received a fine Bupply of fish; and 'so it went for nearly a year. He caught fish every day, and as regularly turned them over to the leading citizens. When the spring term of court came around, he put in an application for a liquor license. Under the rules of that court it was necessary for twenty citizens to sign a protest to kill an application for a license. The protest was taken around; but to the amaze ment of the messenger he could get no signors. The clergyman was much opposed to the proposed license, but could not find it in his heart to attach his name to the paper. When the court announced its decision, the Ger man received a license, and he bland ly remarked: "I've been flshin' for a Hcense. ' I got it."-Sunday Magazine. Up and Down With the Bishop. Bishop Dudley of Kentucky wa? much addicted to sport, especially liking to hunt and fish. Once, when on a shooting trip, the bishop chanced to fall in with an old mountaineer who, according to Representative Ollie James, took a great fancy to his new acquaintance, whom he did not in the least suspect was a bishop. When Bishop Dudley was preparing for his .return,home he invited the old man tc visit jioulsville, so that he might heai him preach. "Preach?" gasped the old moun taineer. "What, you preach! Kin you preach as: well as you kin shoot?" "Much better," responded the bish op, smilingly. "Be sure and come some Sunday. I'll see that you get 3 good seat in front." The old man availed himself of the Invitation thus extended. At the con elusion of the service he qulcklj sought out his friend, the bishop, and grasped him by the hand. "Mr. Bishop," he cried enlhusi astically, "I don't know much aboul your creeds and dogmatics, but I rh and sot with you every time!" Her Logical Reasoning. In his "Comic School Tales" H. J.

Among other questions the lady asked: "With what weapon did Sam son slay the thousand Philistines?" And one girl, jumbling her old and new testament knowledge, stood up and replied: "With the ax of the apos tles." A woman teacher had been ex plaining the story of the casting adrift of the Infant Moses. "Now, why was it, do you think, that the good mother daubed the little ark boat so carefully with slime and pitch?" "Oh, ma'am," said one little 5-year-old girl, "to mako tho baby stick inside." COFFEE HEART. Very rialn in Some People? A great many people go on suffering from annoying ailments for a long time before they 0:111 get their own consent to give up the indulgence from which .their trouble arises. A gentleman in Brooklyn describes his experience, ns follows: "I became satisfied some months ago that I owed the palpitation of the heart, from which I suffered almost daily, to the ns? of coffee (I had been a coffee drinker for 30 years), but I found it very hard to give up the beverage. "I realized that I must give up the harmful indulgence In coffee, but I felt the necessity for a hot fable drink, and as tea is not to my liking, I was at a loss for awhile, what to do. "One day I ran across n very sensible and straightforward presentation of the claims of Postura Food Coffee, and was so impressed thereby that I con cluded to give it a trial. My experience with it was unsatisfactory till I learned how it ought to be prepared-by thor ough bolling for not less than 15 or 20 minutes. After I learned that lesson ihovt was no trouble. Postum Food Coffee proved to bc a most palatable mid satisfactory hot beverage, and I have used it ever since. "Tho effect on my health has been most salu Iii ry. It has completely cured (lie heart palpitation from which I used to suffer so much, particularly after breakfast, and I never have a return of it except when I dine or lunch away from home and am compelled to drink the old kind of coffee because Postum ls not served. I find that Postum Food Coffee cheers and invigorates while It produces no harmful stimulation." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. 'There's a reason.

Very general interest lias been mani fested In tho Government inves. ^ation now In progress into the mode of con ducting business by tho large'packers located in Chicago and elsewhere. Much has been written upon the al leged ill?gal and improper modes of business procedure connected with the packing industry; but it seems that BO far no definite charge of any kind has been sustained and no proof of Illegal or inequitable methods has been dis closed to the public. While a wave of severe criticism of this great Industrial interest Is now passlug over the coun try it might be well to remember that the packers have had as yet no oppor tunity to make specific denial, the many indefinite charges of wrong-do ing having never been formulated so that a categorical answer could be made. The recent report of Commissioner Garfield, which embodied the results of an official investigation undertaken by the Department of Commerce and Labor of the United States, was a vin dication of the Western packers, but Ibis result having been unexpected at tempts in many quarters to discredit lt were made. In view of the situation ns lt now stands, however, attention may proper ly bo called to a few facts that owing to popular clamor are now being apr patently overlooked. Fair treatment in this country has heretofore been ac corded to all citizens whose affairs as sume prominence in the public eye and some of the facts that bear upon the relation of tho packers to the com merce of the.country miy at this time be briefly alluded to. It would be difficult to estimate the benefits gaiued by the farmers of the country result ing from the energetic enterprise of the packers, for whatever is of beueflt to the farmer is a gain to the entire commerce of the country. And con nected with their continuous aggres sive work no feature perhaps has been more important than their efforts in seeking outlets all over the world for the surplus products of the farmer. Our total exports of agricultural prod ucts have gained but little In the past twenty years, and leaving out corn, the total of all other farm products was far less la 1903 than in ISO!. But lu packing house products lhere was con siderable gain during this period, be cause au organized and powerful force has been behind them seeking new and broader markets. Besides the benetta reaped, by farm ers on account of the enterprise and energy exercised by the packers in at taining commercial results by foreign trade, the great development in the manufacture of packing house by-prod ucts has added enormously to the value of all live stock raised in tho United States. Tho waste material of twenty years ago, then an expense to the packer, ls now converted into ar ticles of great value and, as an eco nomic fact, this must correspondingly increase the value to the farmer of overy head of cattle marketed at the numerous stock yards of the country. Let these facts be remembered while now lt is so popular to regard the grsnt packing industry ns deserving of condemnation. At least it must lie ad mitted that, so far, there ls iw ade quate reason for the almost unani mous howl that may be heard every where in the face of the Garfield re port above alluded to which practical ly exonerates tbe packers from the ob scure and indefinite charges that have been for some time past made the sub ject of popular comment. -1 Never judge a ring by a jeweler's name on thc box.

WHIadaen Tells How She Tried Lydia E. PInkham's Vegetable Compound Just in Time. _ Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning, Iowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: Dear MrsJPinkham : " I can truly say that you have saved my life, and I cannot express my gratitude to you in words. .'Before I -wrote to you, telling you how I reit, I had doctored for over two years steady and spent lots of money on medicines besides, but it all failed to help me. My monthly pe riods had ceased and I suffered much pain, with fainting spells, headache, backache and boaring-down pains, and I was so weak I could hardly keep around. As a last resort I decided to write you and try Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, and I am so thankful that I did, for after following your Instructions, which yon sent me free of all charge, my monthly periods started ; X am regular and in perfect health. Had it not boen for you I would be In mv grave to-day. I sincerely trust that this letter may lead every suffering woman in the country to write you for help as I did." When women arc troubled with ir regular or painful menstruation, weak ness, leucorrheea, displacement or ul ceration of thc womb, 'hat bearing down feeling, inflammation of the ova ries, backaohe, flatulence, general de bility, Indigestion and nervous prostra tion, they should remember there ls one tried and true remedy. Lydia. E, Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. No other female medicine in thc world has received such widespread and un qualified endorsement. Refuse all sub stitutes.
