When Mr.. Gushing was living nj Znni
Prof. Adolph Bandclier, nov the historian
OF the IIommenway expedition, was pur-
suifif his chronological studies in that quar-
ter. Mr.. Gushing, irom bis initiation into
the Zuni tribe and priesthood, was recog.
nincd a. an almost absolute authority In
all matters conccnirg this interesting and
primitive people.
Among other questions, Prof. Bandclier
asked him this one:
"why do the Zuns speak Of the masters
Of the sir great houses The Zuni town
isone gigantic pueblo. What do they mean
with their six great houses"

ut Is strange, confess, but there are six
masters OF the great houses"
~ can hardly believe IT," said Prof
Bandclicr.
"wcll, there IL simple way Of proving
H. Ask that zuni over there who the
master Of the north great house h."
Prof Bandclior accepted the experiment.
Az first tho zuni Indian hardly understood
him. Finally he said: "Oh, you mean
such n one,' mentioning the name OF a
Zuni priest "You will find him over
there" and, sure enough, liandelier found
the master OF the north great house. But
that functionary could tell him ~ little
about his great house ~ Gushing. Doubt

THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
Bishops Keane aud Ireland Declare II is
Not Ruled by n Clique.

Washington Correspondence Of the Herald.
Bishops Kcano and Ireland arc in this
city on business connected with the Catho.
lie university. Your correspondent called
their attention this evening 10 the state
mcnt printed In today's Herald in relation
to Archbishop Corrigan's resignation as n
trustee OF the university to be established
here, and asked what truth there was In
the reason assigned for tho same, II having
been alleged that the archbishop's rcsigna-
ton was prompted by the elimination Of
discussions In the board OF directors.
Bishops Keanc and Ireland spoke with
ont reserve, expressing themselves sur
priscd at the statement Of Archbishop Cor
rigan's resignation made public In the
press. Such n resignation, they said, is
usually a matter OF action by the board H.
self, but no meeting OF the board has been
held since the 7th o. September, on which
occasion Archbishop Corigan was present,
and said nothing Whatever about rcsigning.
As TO the motive alleged for such rcsig.
nation they declared that II IL obviously
impossible for any clique 10 manage the
ailaies OF the university since every meas
ufe ~ fcgulhtcu ny inc DohTu on sixteen
directors who, In true American style, de-
eide everything by a majority vote. No
doubt, they stated, the majority vote was
ON some occasions contrary 10 the views Of
Archbishop Cotrigan, rs Il was ut Other
times aycne 10 the ideas Of Bishop ireland
and Bishop Keanc; but they fully under
stood the duty Of Loyalty abiding by the
decision Of the majority.
The bishops went ON TO say that Gn oh

Prom the Boston Transcript


A clergyman who has spent some time
In Pennsylvania tells the Listener an odd
story illustrating peculiarly Of speech In
that section. The clergyman had just ar
rived and taken possession Of little coun-
try parish, and had been invited 20 take
charge Of the funeral Of prominent resi-.
dent. As he knew nothing about the ca
reer and accomplishments OF the deceased,
lac was 10 be assisted by a farmer OF the
neighborhood, who was something OF an
exhorter. The relatives had expected
that the services should not begin until
Mr.. j., tho frmer-exhorter, had arrived.
lie was long In coming, for some reason,
and the clergyman began 10 grow weary
He called one Of the family and asked him
II lac knew where Mr.. J. was.
"IIc's come now" said this person.
"Where II he7" asked tho clergyman.
'Down stairs" came the response,
"wiping his gums on the door ma" -
The thought Of the reverend agricultur.
1T "wiping his gums on the door mat
filed the young Yankee clergyman flrst
with horror, and then with almost uncon-
trollable amusement. II did not occur 10
him at first that gums" In that part Of
the country meant rubber overshoes.

The song OF the god shaquena, which Is
Of vital interest In this connection, Ii one
OF those which MIR. Gushing sings with
effect. The god relates that
without much thought Of the mischief he
was doing, he rent the earth asundcr and,
causing It's internal fire 10 bolch forth, dc.
siroycd the cities. But when Shaquena
saw the misery that lac caused he was con.
sumed with pity for the unfortunate poo
pie, and. advising them 10 seek the center
Ui the earth, lac promised 20 disturb them
no more. But the Zuni tradition relates,
tho ancestors were loath ito get out Of
bed" The result was that tho god sha.
quena was lorccd 10 gently remind them
Of the necessity OF seeking the center Of
the earth, at which they had evidently not
arrived. The evidence Of this traditional
song and Of tho earthquake ceremonial IL.
self IL very conclusive M 10 the causes which
prompted the successive migration. I'm
fortunate IL the civilization which does
not possess tho aid Of science.
Being ignomnt 81 tho causes which
produce the teuorr of nature, this print
tive people were compelled 10 attribute
the phcnomena oi earthquakes 10 the
agency OF displcnscd dciiics Had they
achieved scientific knowledge thoy might
have attained their sway In the valleys OF
the southwest, found their way into the
great plains Of the Mississippi, Missouri
aud the Ohio, and established an indigrn-
Gus civilization Of ability and worth. But
the glorious conquogs Of philosophy and
science were not destined 10 be theirs. To
tho inhenton Of Greece and Rome was
bcqucaihed the legacy Of power the mas
terry Of the world.

The Correot Statement.

In reply to an inquiry by RECORD
UNION reporter, as to the significance of
the published statement in the Bee, that j.
H. Knauer had commenced suit against
Abbott & Gregory to recover money ad-
vanced to operate the Magalia mine, Mr.
Abbott replied that it was untrue that
Mr.. Knauer had not advanced Abbott &
Gregory any money whatever, nor did be
claim to have done so. The suit referred
to, continued Mr.. Abbott, is one COM
menced by Mr.. Knauer involving some
81 OO0-to recover his salary as Secretary of
the Magalia Mining Company. Suisse
quently Abbott & Gregory became the own
ers of the property, and deny that they are
personally liable for the debts of the old
corporation" An examination of the COM
plant shows that Mr.. Abbotts statement
Is perfectly correct, and it is impossible to
read the document and make any mistake

Oficer Green Distinguishes Himself and
Captures Game.
Last evening officer Green, the latest ad-
dition to the police force, succeeding in get
ting into hokey-p okey game and arresting
the dealer, much to the qualification of Chief
Lee, who has been trying for some time to
get evidence against the gamblers. The
plan was well laid, and was executed by
the new officer in the most skillful manner.
Early in the evening the Chief called Green
into his office and told him that he wanted
him to disguise himself, take with him
special officer Martin Brady, and gather in
some of the hokey-pokey dealers. Not an
other person was let into the secret of the
contemplated raid, not even the other OFF,
GERS on the force.
Green dressed himself up in his old roll
ing-mills clothes, and in company with
Brady first visited the game which was
going on at the Lafayette saloon, on K
street, between Third and Fourth. When
he entered and asked for some checks the
dealer eyed him closely, and suspecting all
was not right refused to give him any, and
he staggered out, saying that he could find
some other place to play. OF course he
had seen enough to know that game was
DelHB pidyeu III NiOlauOD OF the law, but
under the decision Of Judge Van Fleet in a
! case tried some time ago, it was necessary
| to get evidence that ne dealer was getting
percentage of the money, and that it was
not game for the drinks.
The next place visited was at the north
east corner of Sixth and K streets, where
the officer found a game conducted by Il.
A. Bell. He took dollars worth OF chips,
played and lost until he had seen the dealer
gather in the percentages on the bets. He
was all the time feigning intoxication and
wanted to know of the dealer how long a
man had to play before he got drink.
Bell replied that when he had So he would
I treat. Green then threw back his coat ex-
hibited his star, placed Bell under arrest
and conducted him to the station-house
When he reached there his disguise was so
perfect that officer Rowland, seeing Brady
with two men, started in TO search Green
and did not recognize him until he found
pair of handouts in his pocket and took a
closer look at his face
Chief Lee feels sure that he has evidence
enough this time to secure Bells convic-
ton and get q different decision from the
Superior Court. A dealer of the same kind
of game was convicted in San Francisco
few days ago.

A GENEROUS PROPOSITION.
.cramento VIII Not Compete Against


Sacramento VIII Not Compete Against
Other Counties.
Erskine Greer, George G. McMullen and
L. II. Fassett, the committee in charge of
the Sacramento county exhibit for the
State Fair held meeting yesterday and
resolved upon new policy, which it is be-
lieved will meet with the entire approval
of the people of Sacramento county. Here
tofore Sacramento has exhibited at the
State Fair at great advantage over other
competing counties. For instance as Sac
ramento does not have to pack her goods,
they can be week fresher, and because of
the contiguity of the Pavilion 10 the
county their exhibit can be much large.
These facts have created a fear, not
wholly uDiustifiable, that other counties
have viewed Sacramento competition
as unfair to them. The committee, there
fore, resolved yesterday that Sacramento
county would not this year compete, but
they also resolved that they would exhibit
with just as much eHrnestness, and the
intention TO make as large display. They
say they are sure that they will have a finer
and more varied exhibit this year than ever
before.
While they will not compete for any
uOuey u De ulVlueu among lne cOun1esi
they wish it understood that the individual
exhibitors have the right to enter their in
dividual exhibits for catalogue premiums
the same as exhibitors from any other
county. They believe that IN taking this
step they are supported by the best judg-
ment of the city and county. and their
action will greatly encourage other counties
TO exhibit, and thus rebound to the best
interests of the State and State Fair. This
will leave several hundred dollars more TO
be divided among the other counties.

This evening T. J. Farron, the capital
Irish comedian, supported by a company
adapted to the presentation of the extrava-
CANT burlesque "a Soap Bubble" will ap-
pear at the Clunie Opera House. The
Philadelphia Times said of the play and
troupe: SAT the National Theater, T. J
Farron has been seen in his play The Soap
Bubble. OF course the piece is as light as
the thing from which it derives its name,
but it nevertheless compares tavorably
with any of the now numerous productions
of its kind. 1t is full of irresistible fun and
replete with good songs, choruses and
quartets. Mr.. Farron won much applause
by his comicalities and his singing, and was
ably supported by Ed. j. Connolly and the
rest of his company. The singing of Vir-
ginia Ross was especially commendable
and Miss Dolly Foster won and held the
favor OF the audience by her peculiar
sprightliness and cuteness"

A PROPOSED RAILWAY.
AmadOr Citizens Appeal to the sacra
mento Board of Trade.


mento Board of Trade.
The following communication has been
received from well-known citizen of SUIT
ter Creek
The growing population of the various
towns, Jackson, Suffer Creek, Amador City,
Drytown and Plymouth, along the mineral
belt OF Amador county, is thought by many
residents to be of sufficient importance to
be placed in immediate railway commune
cation with the positive commercial centers
of the State.
This view before the people, they have
already held public meetings at Jackson
and Suffer Creek, and appointed commit
tees to act in union with like committees
to be selected at public meetings to be called
at Amador City, Drytown and Plymouth.
"Amador excels in its mineral wealth,
rich quartz mines, extensive deposits of
coal. Banks of clay, veins of copper, bod
les of iron ore, quarries of marble, slate
and granite, its horticultural aud agricul-
tural resources, its irrigation facilities, all
furnishing without doubt very promis.
ing future for Amador county, which will,
If properly investigated, show to the rail-
road engineer country unbounded in its
natural advantages, susceptible to great ad.
vance, be 1t once opened out and one well
deserving railroad franchise.
" By extending railroad from Brighton
10 the Costumes river, following up the
river to such point deemed advisable to
run off across the country to the town OF
Plymouth, thence southerly through or
near the different towns to Jackson, would
not only take and command the business
of Amador county, but gam the business
and open out the fertile valley and country
adjoining the Costumes river Well might
Sacramento become interested in this pro-
ject. Let their business men call their
Board of Trade and debate this subject, for
once this scheme is perfected the business
of the mineral belt would necessarily fall
into their hands, where now they have
other points to compete with on account OF
the fact that all merchandise can be had at
greater distance in less time. In fact sc
many are the inducements for railroad to
this part of the country that the public
meetings will be continued until theil
efforts are crowned with success and the
iron horse steams his way into our seyera
communities"

Thomas O'Neil was one of the gang Of
young Migrants who were escorted across
the river the other day by the police and
warned to keep out of the city. 1t seems
he did not keep his promise, for yesterday
morning officer Able saw him steal a pair
of shoes from box standing in front OF
Ginsberg's store, on K street, near Eighth.
Able was on the other side of the street,
and watched o Neil as he crept to the box
:" on all tours and seized the shoes. He
then joined three others of the gang, who
were waiting at the corner of Eighth street.
About this time he caught sight of the Of
ficer and ran. The chase was lively one,
but Able pursued the young thief through
street and alley until he finally captured
him in the alley between Fifth and Sixth,
K ard L streets. He still held on to the
shoes He was taken to the station-house
and charge of petit larceny booked against
him.
