ENATcHEZ AND HIS HALTER

THE Apache chief Nstchez, who, with his partner iu murder, Geronimo, is enjoying the hopitslIty of the govern ment on the Dry Tortus ss, had finely braided borse-hair halter. which was ex- hibited st the late Mechanics fair in thls city. The mistakenly philanthropio lady who exhibited it has received medal.
 This is the sort of thing which makes the white people of the border states and territories curse the misdirected senti- mentality of the. East.
 If the people of Arzona, New Mexico, Sonora or western Texas could have caught Nschez at any time in the last 20 years, they would have put his halter to 8 much more profitable use.
 Nstchez and Geronimo were not war riors. They were simply murderers of the most cowsrdly and brutal type. Their hands reeked with the blood of innocent white women and children whom they first murdered and then horribly mutils- sed. Under DO circumstances dId they ever fight, Their plan was always to ire from ambush upon the ususpeoiing traveller, or ride up to farmhouse and kill the women and children while the men were absent.
 There were never two more cowsrdly' cruel and bloody ssvsges thsn Natchez and Geronimo, and never two nuf- dersrs more deliberate. Jesse Pomeroy IS an angel of peace in comparison. IL is a great pity the settlers ef the south west did not get 8 chance to put that halter to better use.
 And it is pity also that certain phil snthropically disposed ladies snd gen. .Iemen of this town cannot find worthy objects of charity nearer home rather than waste sympathy on these cowsrdlY sssassins.-Boston Globe.

The Hemenway Explorations.

A correspondent of the Missouri Re- publican, writes from Los Muertos, the cIty of the dead, Salt rlver valley, where the Hemenway expedition, under the supervision of Frank Cushing. have recently made important discoveries, says:
 Pathological research, prosecuted by Mir. Frank Cushing by the comparative method, demonstrates that the dwellers of the plain were Toltecs, and that they reached high state of civilization many centuries before the Aztecs sp- peared. They were probably of Asiatic origin but not of MongolOid. The Indian of the Pacific coast appears to be Mon 2olOid and later immigrant from Asia The age of the Toltec ruins is reckOned in thousands of years. The Toltecs were agricultural people and had the plain of Tempe under a high state of cultivation. The climate and character of ,he soil were, apparently the same as now. and vast system of irrigation was required to make the land productive. The maps made by the surveyor of the HemeDway party show a; least 300 lines of ditch work.
 The Ioltecs were better irrigators than the farmers of to-day. They were satis- fled with a very slight flow, and, couse- quently, were able to conduct water to every part of the plain. The higher ground, which is now a desert, was reach ed by levees upon which the water flow ed. The bottom ot these ditches and levees, hardened by the water flowing over them. have resisted the leveling power of the elements. The banks have 1aaoH.aa-.l f.uws,r, l.. ed slightly above the plain, and these hardened surfaces are now used as roads all over the valley, In some places the lrrigating canal was cut through the sol in rock with stone implements. The cost of making that cut to-day with i'm proved implements would be S200O0.
 Tue manner ot building the dItches and keeping them Tn repair is indicated oy two parallel rows of stones along the sides of the ditches. The5e stones are ot dioriie, and were used as chipping stones to sharpen tha stone implements with which the digging was done. Most of them seem to have been worn out and thrown aside, and probably they were covered up with the earth and thrown out ss the work advanced, The wash ing away of the banks by the rains of centuries has left them exposed. Many, no doubt. were used in repairing the banks. The natural inference IS that the ditches were maintained during long period. The modern canal system of the valley IS only forty-one miles in ex- tent and cost sl,5O0,OOO. The Toltec dItches were o' great size and extent, DO less than 300 miles of camel alone, and could no, be built to-day for less thrn S2 2.5OO,OO0. No lees than 45O.OCO acres were cultivated in the Salt River valley by means of these sncIent ditches.

Hard To See tha Hall.

am surprised that the public do not know that it is difficult thing to see a ball while facing the grand stand. The other day ball was batted at Foutz while he was pitching and he dodged it. The crowd yelled rats" and coward. |" The fact is, Dave could hardly see the ball, not because it was necessarily swift, but be- cause it was the same color as the grand stand which he was facing Nearly every spectator has played ball only in an open Held where he had a horizon line, above which the ball could easily be seen against the sky. But in an inclosed field it is a difficult matter 10 see a ball well black ened by use, in the infield, if it comes from the dark grand stand It is this that causes SO many of the mysterious mufis aud misses which the public can see no excuse for.-Basebal Player in Globe-Democrat

The Always Needy Turk.

The Porte is before the powers again with a brace of fresh requests, one being for permission to issue a loan of $25, ,0O0,- : 900 oR the Egyptian and Cyprus tributes, and the other that the powers will nomin- ate some candidate for the Bulgarian throne who will be acceptable to the Sobrgnje. Both requests are in the line of chronic helplessness which has long been associated with Turkey. The puzzle in her finances is how she constantly man ages, when apparently beyond the bottom of her cash and quite at the bottom of her credit, to hunt up some new article of value to pawn or some old one on which an additional mortgage is possible With billion dollars or so of debt, on which only fractional interest is paid, she was able not long ago to pledge some of her railways for money with which to buy guns and ammunition Now comes an other device, and the wonder is where it will all end. Perhaps she will begin soon to sell out some of her islands or outlying provinces if the powers will allow each other to buy them.-New York Times.
