CASE MUST BE LEFT TO JURY.
Motion Denied to Have Haywood Dis
charger.

Boise, June 22.-Immediately after
court reconvened Richardson COM
mencel his argument to have Hay
wood discharged. He first read a
formal motion demanding that the
fury be instructed to acquit on the
ground that the only evidence against
Haywood was Orchards testimony,
while the Idaho laws demanded evil
dence. Richardson's argument was
both lengthy and technical. He care
fully analyzed the evidence, docu-
mentary and oral, and declared that
no matter how the matter might be
construed II was a fact that there is
absolutely not an iota of evidence
connecting Haywood with the Steu-
nenberg murder.
Motion Was Denied.
Immediately after the arguments
Judge Wood refused the motion.
"The court is thoroughly satisfied
that this case should he submitted to
the jury. II felt differently I
should not hesitate to so rule The
court then explained that he would
not review the evidence in a written
opinion bcause there were two more
defendants to he tried later.

Something has at last been discover
ed in which man is really very SUI
perior to woman. It is in nose power
or sense of smell. Some American
physicians have pondered over the fact
that ladies' are but rarely connoisseurs
of wine and, dismissing the idea that
it is because they drink less of it, re
solved to make experiments to get at
the root of the matter The results
fully confirmed their suspicion that the
feminine nasal organ is deficient in
Sharpness. The tests were conducted
by mixing various essences with wa
ter. and it was found that whereas
men could detect the presence of lemon
Juice. for instance, in 100000 times its
weight Of water, the women subjects
failed to notice it in a quantity OF wa
ter one-ifth as large. The conclusion
drawn was that the male nose is at
least twice as powerful. Woman's love
of perfumes Is thus explained; half
their pungency is lost on her.-Pear-

Picouart the Alsatiam.

General Picquart is a sort Of Admira,
bic Crichton, for, besides wide general
cultivation. he reads, writes and speaks
Russian, German, English and Italian.
Such knowledge of languages IS not
common with Frenchmen, even those
of education. but General Picquarts
facility is explained, perhaps, by the
fact that he is an Alsatian. The Asa
tians have long been noted in France
for the readiness with which they ac-
ouire languages, a readiness the more
remarkable when we consider that
their foundation stock IS Teuton. Inc
Teutons usually are not credited with
that lingual fexibility that enables one
to 90 from language to language. Pos
siblv the French drops in the Alsatlan
blood account for the Alsatian lingual
skill. the mixture producing just the
qualities desirable, the Gallic quick
ness Of apprehension and the Ger
man steadiness Of application.-Boston
