Ralkiod, March 24. This morning

to hold court. He did not leave there
until this morning. He waited In the
hope that tbe Jury tn the cats of -Cray,
on trial (or footing Aycock, ' would
agree, but" after having been oat 80
hours the jury failed to agree and a mis
trial was entered. The jury was about
equally divided between a verdict for
murder n the flnt degree and one In
the second degree. The claim of the de
fense was that Gay was an opium-eater
and that his state of mind was such that
he was irresponsible for his act. After
(lay shot Aycock he shot himself and
(his fact was also used by the defense.

The verdict that young Wilooi was
lliy of the murder of Miss Nellie Crop
tey seems to have met popular approval
though It was not considered probable
early yesterday, that the jury would to
report. : Dlitrtot Attorney Ward (aid
yesterday that lie never looked for any
verdict other than murder in the second
degree, i Lawyer Aydlett for the defense
will enter an appeal on behalf of the
prisoner. He will seek to set asme me
verdict on the ground that It was not
consistent with the evidence brought out
In the trial. There it little prospect of
the prisoner paying the death penalty
on the day set by Judge Jones. .
At the Supreme Court does opt meet
until SeptemberrUia morethan proba
ble that it will be 12 months before the
case it disposed of anally.
A STOMACH THEORY.
Ifeaattoate Ercrrthlasr ThoronBhlr,
but Swalloir Little.
"The stomach is a most willing serv
ant," says Arthur Henry In Ainslee's.
It -really loves Its master and fre
quently performs such labors as none
but a olave would endure. Horace
Fletcher has recently evolved a the
ory, founded upon thousands of experi
ments, which maintains that of the
necessary requirements the matter of
chewing will alone suffice. According
to him, man has been given the sense
of taste to guide him la his eating and
to maintain a just relationship between
his food and his stomach. So long as
there is any taste, he says, the food
should "remain In the mouth. That
Which remains when there is no longer
any taste should be rejected as unfit.
'By this method the taste Is satisfied
when the necessary amount of food has
been sent to the stomach, and therefore
it Is impossible to overcrowd the stom
ach. By this method also only that por
tion of food which Is nourishing gets
past the taste Into the system, and the
taste, being once thoroughly satisfied,
does not call for more until the proper
time. This unconsciously regulates the
hours of meals.
'As it is now, food is ordinarily rush
ed into the stomach half chewed, waste
and all, filling it jvlth rubbish until it is
overloaded, before the taste is satisfied.
Then the hardworking stomach finds
that It has twice as much labor before
it as It would have If the food had been
properly chewed, besides having so
much waste material that it will get
but halt the nourishment necessary for
the system. Iu so far Mr. Fletcher's
theory It absolutely incontrovertible.
Ho further maintains that even food
which contains poisons and Injurious
substances, if chewed until it disap
pears Involuntarily without a conscious
act of swallowing, Is rendered harmless
and If It contains anything pleasing to
the tasto becomes to some degree good
food.
"There is no doubt that the entire
theory of Mr. Fletcher could be -sub
stantiated were the taste of man nor
malrbut It has been proved that man's
taste Is not normal. There has been a
gradual extinction of instinct progress
ing among the civilized branches of
the human race. Instinct is the means
by which animals are warned, of dan
ger. Most of the wilder kinds know
what to eat and what to avoid. The
Indian It only ailttle less protected
by his instincts. But civilized man
hat cultivated perverse and unnatural
appetites for so long that the natural
protective instincts can no longer be
trusted. Even savages led to adopt
the habits of civilization degenerate,
and this It probably one of tbe causes
of their extinction."
. Eltt Win Vram lk Moon,
A telescope is now promised which

of the earth instead of forty miles.
