1t was not long since that the banjo was
the rage, when all the negro minstrel-lookins
chaps in town that could raise respectable
suit of clothes were in demand as teachers.
What possessed society girls to take up the
banjo Is as easily answered as the question,
Who assaulted Mr., Patterson! The banjo,
besides being an imperfect instrument at
best, is the one that affords the least
satisfactory accompaniment to the popular
aras of the day. Then il is not likely
that their delicate fingers could ever become
sufficiently callous to Withstand the painful
wear on the strings So it is likely that it
was for this last reason that the mandolin
was adopted, as the stunning on the strings
Is performed with what is called a plectrum,
instead of the dainty fingers The mandolin
is an instrument of Spanish origin, and was
possibly brought to the attention of our pub
lie first by the numerous troupes of Spanish
students who visit this country. II has eight
strings, strung in couples, representing the
same tone, so that the strings themselves rep
resent but four notes. The object of the
double string is to produce the trill upon
which the effect largely depends. MaHdoins
vary in price from S. TO 500, and it is said
that one factory in Connecticut is running
night and day, turning ont the imported
mandohns that average about SIS in price

THE McCOMAS MURDERER.

ChecO, the Apache Chief, In Washin gton--
A New Mexican Citizen Tells What He
Knows About the BlOOdth r,ty villain.
WASHINGTON, July 22.-H. H. Carpen-
er, of Silver City, N. NJ, an operator Of
lining mills, is in Washington. In an
interview to-day upon the subject of the
visit of the Apaches to this city, he said:
'sI have no doubt they are all murderers,
but the chief of this group, whom you
have already denounced, is an unques-
toned murderer. | will contracv myself
to furnish all the evidence that Is re-
Gulred to convict him of the murder of the
McComas family, and, beside that, feel
perfectly confident that the evidence can
be furnished, if necessary, to convict
. him of fifty murders. | see that you
have spelled his name Chaco. The cor
rect rendition of his name Is Checo.
Checo is in the neighborhood of Atty
years of age. For nearly twenty five
years he has been the leader of a band
of the most desperate outlaws and mur-
derers known in our territory. We have
never received any proper protec.
ton from the Government. The
property interests of New Mexico are
to-day languishing ON account of
the fact that the Apaches have never vet
been properly controlled or punished.
Crook was an imbecile in his attempt to
solve the Indian question. His hobby
was the employment of these Apaches as
scouts. understand that this murderer,
Checo, has been employed by the militia
ry authorities as a scout. There Is plen-
ty of evidence to be found in Silver City
to convict Checo. McComas was . lawyer
living in Silver City He had a ranch
within fifteen miles of that place. 1t was
while going to this ranch, accompanied
by his wife and boy, that he was capt
ured by Checo aud his crew. There Is
very clear evidence that Checo murdered
McComas with his own hand; at any
rate, he was the chief in command"

do so. The true condition of affairs win
not be known until the committe Of In
