THE TABLET DANCE.
The Festivals Held in the Towns
of the Pueblo Indians.

Of the annual festival held in the va
rious towns of the Pueblo Indians, of
New Mexico, that at Santo Domingo, on
the 4th of August. is one Of the most
important. Among the pueblos, Santo
Domingo, about thirty miles southwest
of Santa Fe, on the Rio Grande, is one
of the largest. The river, in time of
freshet. menaceS the town, and many
wears ago during a flood it changed its
channel, ingulfing about half the town.
The inhabitants thus dispoSSessed built
their residences on higher ground to
the east of the old village, so that Santo
Domingo is reallya double village, with
two distinct kinds of aboriginal archi
tecture-the old, in which the houses are
two stories high, terrace-shaped, and
entered from the roof; and the new, in
which the one-story houses have doors
and windows.
Each division of the village has it's
own estufa, or circular underground
council chamber. For several days
preceding the festival, Indians from the
other pueblos of New Mexico and the
Navajo country gather i'll the town.
Feathers are an important feature of
the ceremonial. and several parrots
kept in the village are mercileSSly
pIucked of their p1umage to decorate
the dancers. For the greater part of
the night before the festival the town
| is awake, the men performing their
ancient dances in the estufas, and the
women whitewashing the fronts OF the
iahouses, while from time to time caval-
Ecades of horsemen from the surrounding
country arrive i'll town.

FORGIVE YOUR ENEMIES.
Rev. M. ID. Shutter on the Quality
OF Forgiving Faults of Others.

OF Forgiving Faults of Others.
At the Church of the Redeemer yes
terday morning M. D. Shutter dis
coursed on forgiveness. He took his
text from Eph., w., 80: "Forgive che
another" Said he: 1.-The duty of for
giveness is one that the worlds great
teachers have always endeavored to i'm
press. From many lips have fallen
precepts which remind US of
our Scriptures-one of the many
evidences that God never left Himself
without witnesses in any age or nation.
By forgiveness we do not approve the
wrongdoing of him who has sinned
against US. That is none the less evil
in our sight after forgiveness than it
was before. We do not hold up the sin
in new light so that it now appears a
virtue. Forgiveness is not wand by
which we transform iniquity into right
eOuSneSs. 1t is no mental revolution by
which we come to look with cOmpla-
cency upon that which once did VIC
lence to our moral feelings. AS God
does not alter his opinions OF our trans
greSsionS when He passes them over.
neither do we say of evil thou art good,
when we say to him who committed 1t,
( .InOu art forgiven.
Nor are we bound under all circum-
stances to put the same confidence in
the transgressor that we once did. L
say all circumstances; for much de-
ponds. l believe that many young
man might be saved at the beginning of
a wrong course by judicious and kindly
handling on the part of employers a nd
friends. TIE object, the one object, in
all such cases should be to reclaim and
not to ruin. But he who repeatedly
and grievouSly sins against us need not
be trusted. cannot be trusted, as at
first.
1.-THE truth itself is not believed,
From one who often has deceived
runs an old rhyme. his conduct may
make such revelation of his charac-
ter that we may see nothing in it upon
which continued confidence may be
safely based. Personal forgiveness,
moreover, is not consistent with public
Justice. Some offenseS have not only an
Individual but a social bearing. They
are not only crimes against the immedi-
ate sufferer but also against society. In
dealing with the offenders, other con-
siderations than those of personal
character are. q introduced. Such
crimes as murder and rObbery-state
these merely as epreSentatlye-aft
the state, no less than the individual;
and, while private retaliation is forbid
den, the law of forgiveness does not pro-
hibit us from seeing that thieves and
murderers are brought to answer for
their crimes at the bar of justice. The
welfare of society demands it; the in
terests of others are at stake. The law
of forgiveness forbids retaliation. But
an eye for an eye, and tooth for a
tooth; that is diabolical. Wrongdoing
is not to be set over against sin. In
juries are not to be eXpiated by retalia-
ton in injuries"

A CENSUS SERMON.
Rev. w. j. Lhamon breaches Upon
the Crime of ssPadding."

Rev. W. j. Lhamon, at the Church of
Christ. yesterday morning preached
upon Empty Prison Houses" The
apostles, he said, were successful. They
healed the sick, they preached the
resurrection, they incurred the jealousy
of the priests and were cast into prison.
The next morning the high priest
and his crowd, the rulers and the
sanhedrim, got together early for
the trial. They sent to the prison, and,
10, it was empty. At that moment
their prisoners were standing in the
temple teaching the people. 1t was a
whitening surprise. 1t broke the force
of the trial. The angels were on the
side of the apostles, and the imbecile
priesthood could do nothing but
threaten. Truth cannot be imprisoned.
1t is ordained that righteousness shall
be free. The prison walls of the grave
itself could not hold Jesus. His
monument is an empty Sepulcher.
and three times at least His apos-
ties were led out, leaving empty prison

world has never yet found the way to

THEY WILL SEPARATE.
Ex-Ald. McArdle Not Forgiven by
His Wife


1t is said that ex-Ald. William Nc
Ardle and his wife have agreed to a
separation, and that he has signed a
document by the terms of which he is
to contribute to the support of his fam
lily. 1t will be remember that Mr.. Nc
Ardle. who had succeeded through pol
itics and other souraes in getting badly
into debt. went West suddenly about
year ago. His departure was
very sudden, and his wife at the
time did not know where he had gone.
1t seems that he recuperated his fort
unes and turned up Enoch Arden-like
to pay his debts and rejoiD his family,
but Mrs. McArdle will have none of him
any more and the separation is ogreed
upon as compromise, probably induced
by Mrs. McArdle's threat to bring suit
for absolute divorce and the possession
Df their children.
