HORSESHOE MAGIC.
1t Existed Thousands of Years Be-
fore ROrseshOes Wore known.

1t Existed Thousands of Years Be-
fore KOrseshoes Wore KNOWN.
Horseshoe magic is subject which
seems to be of perennial interest, says a
writer in st. paul's, mainly because 1t
touches that little substratum of super
stitious beliefs which is inherent in most
of u.s. though, being materialstic people
in n materiallstic age and having put
away from ourselves childish things, we
none of us confess it. AS a matter of
fact, however, we are always, either lit
orally or metaphorically, turning over
our money when we see new moon, or
picking up rusty horseshoe as hardin
ger Of luck.
But the point that never seems to be
reached in these discussions is the cir
cumstance that, initinlly and enthusiastically
horseshoe magic has nothing to do with
horseshoes. 1t existed long before horses
were ever shod, and 1t has left traces
of its presence In places where horses
have never been known. In comparative
ly modern times the horseshoe over the
door-naled to the Intel with the points
uppermost, be it notcd-has been chiefly
regarded as Il protection against witch
craft belief which has survived in its
modified ''luck bringing" form to the
present day.
But the horseshoe shaped mark has
been mystic symbol from immcmoral
days, and all that modern superstition
has done has been to fit it to the horse
shoe. l have seen the mark, sometimes
ptAl
shrines and temples in the interior of
China. 1t has been in use for many cen.
turtles in India. 1t Is to be found in the
Aztec ruins and on the stoneworli of
buried cities discovered recently by DR..
Schlichter in the region now known as
Rhodesia. 1t has been found incised on
the sacred Ohuringa stones of the tribes
Of central Australia and painted on the
bodies of such of the tribesmen as have
gone through the religious mysteries pc
culiar to these aboriginal survivors.
Messrs. Spencer and Gllen tried last
year to induce the tribal priests to ex-
pound the horseshoe mystery to them,
but 1t was either too sacred or too OBJ
scure, and they learned nothing save that
the mark was an indispensable part of
their mystic rites. The horseshoe mark
is found also in British Guiana, in the re-
ligion Of the Amazon, in Georgia and Hi
nois in Iululand, in the temple of the
goddess Nut in upper Egypt and on in
Vulnerable dolmens, kists and powders
In the British isles, but always with the
points uppermost. In so far therefore,
as antiquity confcrs responsibility horse
shoe magic Is pre-eminently respectable. |
The only awkward thing about it is that |
We do not know what terrible mysteries |
it may have originally signtied or to |
what pagan rites we may be unwittingly
committing ourselves when we nail the |
rusty symbol over our lintels.

THE SAMOAN COMMISSION.
Their Non-Arrival Home Indicates
Some New Complication.

1neir NOn-ArrlVal Home Indicates
Some Now Complication.
Washington, Aug 5.-The non-ar-
rival Of the Samoan commission is be-
ginning to attract comment in official
quarters, and it is thought some new
complication may have arisen in Samoa
to keep the commission there. The
last report was that the party would
leave Apia on July IS, and if this had
been carried out the commission would
have been due in SaE Francisco before
the present time. AS the bulk of the
natives were disarmed there is little
prospect that they could cause serious
disorder yet in case of renewed trouble
between the factions it is believed
that the commission would wait until
quiet had been restored.
Respecting Consul Osborne assuming
the duties of chief justice of Samoa, it
Is understood here that he had the sup
port OF the Germans, as the latter,
while strongly opposed to Chief JUS
tice Chambers. at no time made point
against Consul Osbornes part in the
Samoan difficulties. The state depart
ment is still in ignorance of the man
Der in which Consul Osborne came to
be made acting chief justice in view
of the vigorous contention by Herr
Solf, the president Of the municipal
council, that he was entitled to the
succession.

FAMILY
TROUBLES.

wards Tier Sister,
in-LaW.

! Mrs. Mary +. Dolan pleaded not
guilty in the city court this morning
to the chargeof disorderly conduct.
Annie Dolan testified she lived at
No. 1l18 West Third street and Mrs.
Dolan resided at 1l20 same street.
She heard Mrs. Dolan on Wednes-
day curse witness and her mother
and her children. She was talking
out her window. Her life has been
threatened by Mrs. Dolan. About
three weeks ago there was lively
time at Mrs. Dolan's house. The
threats made were that il she had
a "calibre," she would shoot her,
This has been going on for two
years.
Last summer Mrs. Dolan swore
on the street and drew a crowd.
In the last two years, she has been
abused and her life threatened be-
tween fifteen and twenty times.
The witness brother is the defend
ants husband and he is now living
at her house and not at the home OF
his wife.
Mary Kirkwood lives ati126 West
Third street. On last Wednesday
she heard Mrs. Dolan curse her
sister-in law and mother-in-laM.
She heardthe defendants voice and
then went down to Dolan's house.
She heard the threats made by Mrs.
Dolan. On several occasions she
heard her use bad language on the
street. She saw her put her fist
under the old gentleman nose and
curse him. The language used id
the back yard was vulgar. The
disturbance generally occurs in
the evening. To Mr.. Hayes she
stated she is daily visitor at the
Dolan house and stays there some
time.
Mary A. Ford deposed that she
lives at 1ll6 West Third street.
She was at Mrs. Dolan's house on
Wednesday and heard her curse
her mother-in-law and sister-in-law
On July 3, she saw the defendant
on the street cursing and using bad
language. She has seen such oc.
currences on former occasions.
She would move away if she could,~
but she owns her own house and no
one would move into the neighbor.
hood, and she was obliged to stay
there.
Mrs. Bridget Murphy, of 1922
West Third street, testified she
heard the noise, but did not hear
what was said
Helen Bruner testified she was at
the defendants house on Wedres.
day. She is hard of hearing and
Mrs. Dolan was talking TO her in a
loud voice, but she did not hear heS
use any bad language on that oc-
caslon. She was saving that the
neighbors were kind to her chill
drcn.
Mrs. Dolan, the defendant, testi-
fed that on Wednesday she was
speaking tothe little girl. but denied
that she either cursed or used bad
language on that day. She did not
use any threats toward the girl on
Wednesday. She told Michael Ford
on July Sd. that she would shoot him
for using foul name towards her. %
These women have been the cause
Of separating her husband from
her.
The court said that there has
been a great deal of trouble in that
community and great many COM
plants. 1t does not matter to the g..
court whether her husband lives
with her or not, the defendant was
ordered to. furnish peace bond of
$500, and if broken, it is to be turns
