from witch hazel that is specific for
piles. For blind, bleeding, itching
and protrudlng piles, eczems, cuts,
burns, bruises and all skin diseases.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21.-Au the
favorites went down to defeat, and the
twenty-eight bOokmakers in line had
the better of the argument The main
attraction was the Owners handicap
at a mile, in which trio Of we'll known
performers met. Fossil was a 3 to 5
favorite and set the pace, with Claude
close up until three furlongs from the
finish, when Claude assumed command
and won pulling up from Fossil. The
muddy track prevented fast time in the
handicap.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Jan. 81. - The
battle of the experts on blood In tn,
Bechtel trial has come to an end, and
every member Of the Bechtel fam
lily will be placed on the witness stand
in an endeavor to prove that the aged
mother is not guilty Of being an acces.
sorry after the fact In the killing OF her
Maynard daughter Mabel The defense
called six experts, and each declared
that the biological, or Bordet, test, the
new method for determining the differ
ence between human and animal blood,
was not a standard one and that II was
unreliable.
The experts called testified that only
one OF the many articles taken from
the Bechtel home contained human
blood and that one was the undervest
worn by the girl when she was found
dead
Before the defense opened its case
the court was asked to instruct the jury
to render a verdict OF not guilty, be
cause not sufficient evidence had been
presented to hold Mrs. Bechtel, but the
court decided that the trial should pro-
coed, Judge Trexler adding that he did
not wish at this time to pass upon the
merits of the evidence presented.
Attorney Schaadt in opening the case
for the defense said he would prove
that all the stains were either from to-
bacco juice or from Thomas Bechtels
dog. He said 1t would also be shown
that no member Of the Bechtel family
had hand in the killing of Mabel and
that she was murdered away from
home

ence which lasted until after midnight
and was continued early In the day at
the residence Of William Nelson Crom.

which they had not included, and it was
to settle these that the conference was
resumed at Mr.. Cromwelrs house.

called in by Mr.. Cromwell to meet Mr..
Untermyer. 1t is expected that Schwab

How the Distinctions Between the

a correspondent writes, says the
Badminton Magazine. to ask me what
Il ''po1y" is mot the pony of the bet
ting ring; he refers to the animal. The
dictionaries which he has consulted tell
him no more than that "a pony" is "a
little horse" and he wants to know
where the pony ends and the horse
begins. The term is, of course, very
loosely used. At Newmarket, where
one might expect accurate definitions,
the trainers seem to call all sorts of
animals ponies. Il win send round
your pony at o'clock" is a familiar
phrase to me, and in two cases it has
always portended the arrival of an ami

strictly applicable to an animal under
l3 hands. Above Is and up to 1873 the
creature should be known as a gallo
way, and over 1873 it becomes a horse.
This, however, is not the modern inter
probation, though when the phraseology
was altered l do not know. According
to tie birmingham rules of polo, ''the

according to my old time authority,
would be quite full sized he Sc. One
cannot, of course. go against the HUI

be inclined to say thar in general par
lance anything under Il hands is a

not ask for an exact definition of a

suggest that a thicl set pony from
