One feature 81 Zuni etiquette Is
rather a tax on the will-power and d.
gestion. 1t is the desirabiity of show
ing your appreciation of the skill and
the fare of your hostess by consuming a
liberal and relatively equal amount Of
every article she places in front OF you.
Goaded on by both their liking for
American food and their sense OF duty
toward class of hosts they held in
reverent respect, Ave of the six Indians
l brought east in the spring of 1889,
suffered, literally, miseries untold, for
they rarely complained save TO sadly de-
preciate their own abilities.
"What is it," exclaimed one OF them
after prolonged tussle with the courses
of almer house dinner, each one of
which he would persist in regarding as
q separate meal and eat the desired
quota Of each article composing it
condiments and all! what is it in
American food, my son, that fills the
inside with so much fighting
would you have me cover my nation
with shame Indignantly asked
another, as he reached his hand for a
lemon which a generous.minded man
on board the train offered him. What
though we be waited in this swift wagon
as on the wings of the wind!' contin-

tested, but in vain He whipped out
his hunting knife and severed the lemon.
1T must be some kind Of little melon, y
speculated the old man, as he bur
led his toothless gums in the major
half of it-but the next instant the
lemon was rolling on the floor, and he
off his seat. He seized his chops with
both hands; tears oOzed from his close
shut eyes, he wriggled, groaned,
hawked, bent over the aisle, retched,

A SHIP WRECKED.

The Steamer Helvetia Lost Commanded
by the Steinmann's Captain.
HALIFAX, May 1.-THE White Cross
Line Belgian steamship Helvetia, l,l6l
tons, with general cargo, started from
Antwerp on April % for Montreal, was sunk
off Scstterie, Cape Breton, on Saturday.
This is the fourth steamer Of that line which
has been lost within as many years. The
steamer August C. Andre sailed from New
York for Antwerp and was never heard OF.
In the fall Of 1883 the Herman Ludwig
sailed from Montreal for Antwerp with
crew OF thirty men and a valuable cargo,
and that was the last that was heard OF her.
Only thirteen months ago the Daniel
SteiDmann crashed on the rocks at Sambro
Islands, and l24 lives were lost The Hell.
vetis makes the fourth vessel that has met
with disaster A remarkable coincidence
is that Captain Schoonhsven, who com.
manded the Daniel Steinmsnn, was also in
command of the Helvetia, and this was the
first passage across the Atlantic which
he has made since the wreck OF the Stein
mann.
The Helvetis arrived in the Cult of st
Lawrence over a week ago and has been
knocking about il the ice for seven or eight
days. Her boys we're stove in and she was
otherwise damaged by the ice. She was
leaking badly Cn Friday Captain Schoon-
haven left Cape Ray and bore up for sgd
ney, having all he could do to keep the ship
afoat On Saturday heavy sea sprang
up and he hailed the Allan line steamer
Acadian, which was passing, while on yoy-
age from Halifax to Sydney. The Acadian
took the Helvetia and tow and headed for
Lewisburg, but had not gone far before Cap.
tain Schoonhaven signaled that he was
sinking. Boats were lowered and the pas
sergers and crew got into them as soon as
possible, but none too soon. The last boat
had hardly got clear before the Helvetia
careened over and sunk. The steamer
Acadian then put back to Strait Canso and
landed the survivors at Port Hawkesbury.
Captain Fsrqubsr, Of the sealing steamer
George Chattuck, this morning reports he
never knew of such enormous quantities OF
ice of the coast. The Helvetia carried
cargo valued at $500. 900, and sunk in deep

Dynamiters on Trial.
LONDON, May 1.-THE dynamiters Gun
ningham and Burton, charged with treason
felony on suspicion of being implicated in the
recent Tower and Parliament building ex-
plosions, were arraigned for trial today In
the Central Criminal Court. A large crowd
assembled in and around the building In
which the court room Is located ana many
of them besieged the officers on guard with
entresties to be allowed to enter the trial
room. None were admitted except those
having passes from the proper authorities.
When the time arrived for opening the pro-
ceedings the court room was literally
hacked. The prisoners were brought IN
handcuffed and surrounded BY strong
guard. Among the spectators were scat
tered scores of policemen in citizens ATTIRE,
who were present apparently for the purpose
of preventing any demonstrations OF the
prisoners friends should any gain admission.
Fifteen Jurors in the panel drawn tor the
trial of the case were objected to before
Jury WAS obtainad. The Attorney General
opened the proceedings, briefly stating the
facts of the case as it stood. His remarks
did not differ materially from those used in
his previous arraignment Of the prisoners.
He concluded his address by saying that 1t
was his firm belief that the prisoners were
guilty of the crime charged, and that ne
had no doubt the jury would so find, when
The evidence had been submitted.
At the conclusion of the Attorney Gener
ais address, the witnesses for the Crown
were called to the stand. Besides the other
evidence introduced was the testimony
taken at the inquiry into the explosions at
Victoria and Ludlow Hill on the under
ground railroad.
