LEVY SAYS THAT NAN

New York. Dec. 2s.-Abraham Levy
Tonight issued statement in which
ne said he expected acquittal and was
disappointed at the outcome, but did
not expect verdict of guilty would
ever be reached. Whether there would
De a third trial, he said. rested with
the district attorney.
Mr.. Levy continued: 1.-THE defend
ant is wholly without means When
counsel assumed the defense of her
case. it was with the understanding
and in the expectation that the de-
PENDANT would be sufficiently equipped
with means. If not to properly com
pensate them, at least to meet the
disbursements and actual expenses
which were bound to arise This she
has never been able to do; so that.
curing the progress of the trial, we
did not even have the stenographers'
minutes of the testimony, but were
obliged to depend upon our own notes
as to proofs given through a trial
spreading over three weeks.
Probably the most important wit
ness for the defense should have
been Miss Blake, the telephone opera
tor at the st. Paul hotel, who receiv-
ed the various messages which the
deceased sent on that morning. But
we were entirely without means to Sc
cure her attendance at the trial. and
only discovered her whereabouts in
st. Louis while the trial was in prog

HORSESHOE LUCK.
SuperstitionS Concerning the Cres-
cents of Iron Are All but UNIVERSAL.

Superstitions Concerning the Cres-
cents of Iron Are All But UNIVERSAL.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
The origin of belief in horseshoe
luck" is so ancient that it's origin never
has been determined with certainty.
and no superstition is more universal.
Ever since horses began to wear shoes
these crescents of iron have been ac-
counted lucky emblems of all peo-
pies, races and nations that have been
acquainted with their use.
The Chinese, for instance say they
nail them up over their doors as
charm against evil spirits, because of
the close resemblance in shape be-
tween them an the arched body of the
sacred snake, Nagandra, one of their
principal deities.
Ask a Turkish Mohammedan for i'm
formation on the subject and he win
tell you that it is because they are
in form like a crescent, the sacred en-
blem of Islam.
A Polish Jew will explain that at
the Passover the blood sprinkled upon
the Intel and doorposts in the man
ner directed by their ritual, forms
the chief points of an arch hence,
obviously, the value of arch-shaped
talismans such as horseshoes are.

the horseshoe is chiefly due to the
metal, irrespective of it's share. iron
being additionally charm wherewith
to nullify the malevolent designs of
evil spirits and COLLINS.
Very different is the story by which
the Irishman seeks to account for his
liking the same talismanic symbol
The name 'Ironclad" or ireland" he
will tell you, originated as follows:
The whole island was once submerg-
ed in the sea, out of which it rose on
ly once in seven years, and then only
for a shore time. Many attempts had
been made to break the spell and in
duce the country to remain perma-
nently above the waters, but all Were

turer threw horseshoe from a boat

girl is taught to be obedient to her
parents, and when she Is about to be
married her mother gives her thirteen
rules by which to steer her bark on
the rugged sea of Japanese married
life. Among them are the following:
BE always kind to your mother-in-
law and sisters-in-law." Get up early,
stay up late at night and do not take
nap in the daytime" BE a good
housekeeper, be economical i'm every
thing" II is well for the happiness
of the girl who is about to become a
farmers wife that the last two COM
mandments have been so instilled that
she is prepared To regulate her life by
them.
The first to rise, she is sure to be
the last to retire, and when the male
members of the family may be seen
stretched on the floor, taking their
siesta, the patient housewife may be
seen mending some garment or else
laboring in the field. 1t is scarcely
necessary, however. to train her to be
economical. for that is compulsory.
Before the farmer has awakened
from his heavy sleep his little wife
creeps from under the mosquito net,
and. performing a hasty toilet, pre-
pares the morning meal. When tho
other members of the family arise. the
the floor. are carefully rolled up by the
busy housewife and placed in the clos
ct there to remain until again re-
uuired
AS there is so little furniture used
in a Japanese house, and especially in
that of a peasant, one would naturally
think that the domestic duties would
be very light. Such, however, is not
the case.
Txyho,, ~. hadaf,,o, hoe hao,, ,a,,,oxynd
the meal is served in the same room.
All the members of the family squat
on the floor The millet or rice which
is the principal and oftentimes only ar
ticle of diet is brought in i'm a wooden
bucket and the wife ladies' 1t out
serves her husband first and often
times waits until the whole family has
finished before she partakes of the
food herself.
When the husband has gone to the
field, the wife removes the dishes and
washes them, together with any pots
that may have been used, at the neigh
boring well or in the stream that flows
lust outside her cottage door These
canals, or streams. are great labor
saving institution in Japan, and are
used for many and varied purposes.
The farmer, tired and dirty, after his
days work, refreshes and cleanses
himself by plunge into the running
water. AS one travels through the
country at one point one may see a
woman doing the family washing in
the stream. Further down the road
the tired. travel stained pilgrim may
be seen refreshing his weary feet by
having them in the same water. At
other points travellers Stake their thirst,
dusky urchns disport themselves and
the overworked wife cleanses her
dishes in it!

TAMPERED WITH BOXES.
Another Charge Made About the
Denver Election.


Denver, Col, Dec. 23.-In defending
Clarence P. Dickson. an election clerk
charged with contempt in having per-
mitted illegal voting at the November
election in violation of the Supreme
Court injunction. Attorney Philip
Hornbein declared in open court to-
day that the ballot box must have been
tempered with since the election. The
experts report had shown that there
were eighty-one ballots in the box
which were folded in such a manner
as to show that they were not de-
posted singly in the usual manner
through the opening in the box.
Attorney Hornbein asked the court
to order an investigation of the men
who have been acting as guardians
of the ballot boxes at the Court House
and at the state house when they were
opened for investigation. He intimated
that the watchers had been bribed and
had permitted the extraction of good
ballots and the insertion of fraudu-
lent ballots. No action was taken by
the court on the attorneys charge.
