Mr.. Armes asked that White be put under
bonds OF $1,000 in each case. Judge Pelham
claimed that this was excessive, as it would be
very difficult to raise half that sum, but Judge
Miller ruled differently, and White was bound
over to the grand jury in the sum named
Judge Pelham told Mr.. Armes that White 8
friends intended raising a sum sufficient to pay
the bonds and also to make good all the losses
by his wrongdoing When this is done it is
probable that White will leave town and the
case will never be called for trial.
TAKEN TO THE DISTRICT JAIL.
A little after noon carriage drove up and
White got in and was driven to the District Jail,
where he will spend tonight. All proper ar
rangements have been made for his comfort
while he is in confinement. though it is not
thought that he will remain long behind the
bars. 1t is probable he will be brought up to-
morrow and the necessary bail furnished.

interesting story of that red 4th of June
which does not appear in any history
nor in any ancient record, but is sd
credly preserved and devoutly believed
by the Indians of San Felipe-a legend
which they have handed down from
father tosson for nearly 200 years. San
Felipe is pretty little pueblo forty odd
miles south of Santa Fe. In front the
hurrying current of the Rio Grande-
"the fierce river of the North washes
it; behind 1t is crowded by the gloomy
volcanic walls of the Black Mesa. Up
and down the river stretch broad fields of
corn and wheat and rustling orchards, TO
queuch whose summer thirst roilY little
acequias come singing as they run. Atop
the frowning table land and the gray
ruins of the ancient stone church look
wistfully down upon the pretty scene,
and upon its adobe successor, radiant
with whitewash, and consequential with
balloon and quaint belfries.
The most interesting man in San Fe-
Iipe is Teodosio Duran, the old ex-gov-
ernor-for each pueblo town is repub-
lie by itself, electing its governor, sher-
Iff councillors and other officers by ball
lot annually, Teodosio is about sixty

know-dark, short. thin and an epitome
of wrinkles and legends. And this is
the story of the miracle of San Felipe, as
he tells IT in excellent Spanish:
"At the first conquest the Spanish
brought with them many padres (priests)
who went out to all the pueblos. Many
died and many were killed. and at last
came the great rebellion-l6S0. When
the Spanish made the second conquest
they found but two priests left. One of
these went very far away-quiza to
Moqui-but the other made q church in
CochltI and stayed there. The Indians OF
the Northern pueblos were very much
enemies of the Spanish, AMI most of all

els that so?" said the professor in as.
constituent.
Then the amateur, after q few passes
with the mechanism OF the camera f,
pulled the finished print he had pre-
viously made from the interior OF the in
strument and exhited to the professor the
counterfeit presentment of himself. To
say that the professor was astonished is
putting il mildly.
There IS, in fact, an impression among
people who have not investigated the
hand camera superstition that there is
some mechanical magic about 1t. Re-
quests to make shots indoors and in
places altogether wanting in sufficient
illumination show clearly that the neces-
sity of light, and plenty of it, is not all
understood. 1t Is difficult TO explain to
the uninitisted why, If a railway train
can be easily photographed at hun
dred yards, trottiug horse cannot
be IS easily taken at twenty-five feet.
Ambitious young people arm themselves
with detectives and spoil q good
many precious plates before they find
out that photography, even with a de-
tective camera, is not so easy as it first
appears.

from 1880 to 1900. The Pueblo Indians
those gentle, industrious house-dwell-
ers who remain with US TO this day, the
most wonderful aboriginal race on earth
had received the white strangers hos
pitably, had been their friends against
the savage tribes, and patiently had
shouldered their growing expressions for
a century and half. But in 1850 they
rose In red rebellion and swept the
mailed invaders away before them. All.
what years those were-of whose light
ming flashes of revolt, followed by sullen
peace, and then another tbunderclap,
the great outside world has never half
known; of whose most hideous tragedies,
of whose sublimest heroisms, we have
record only in here and there bare,
unbraggart line, scant as the rude cross
which marks the last of great life!
After the long and wonderful war
wonderful not for numbers OF men and
oceans of split blood, but for the achieve
ments of tiny army-in which Don Di-
ego de Vargas Zapata Lugan reconquered
the awful wilderness of New Mexico, the
hardy Spanish settlers enjoyed nearly
two years of peace. Their quaint little
colony at Santa Fe, with its ironclad
soldiers clanking through the warped
streets, was beginning to teel secure. So
were the heroic priests who had taken
their lives in their hands and settled
themselves alone in the pueblo towns to

sity for light is kept in mind there Will
| be great saving in plates.
Naturally the greatest amount OF light
| is required where objects In view of tn Q
lens are in rapid motion, and the shutter
must move faster in proportion as the
| object becomes nearer the camera. The
difference betN cen movement near at
hand and movement ct q distance Is well
illustrated in a glance from the window
of q railway car. The hills on the hori-
ION seem to move by us at snail pace,
while the telegraph poles near the track
go whiZzing by. as the joker remarked,
''like the uprights in picket fence. -
Yet both are passing US at exactly the
same rate. In the same manner, II we
are standing on a curb stone and line
OF military are passing through the street
II will be easier to accurately photograph
the soldiers near the opposite curb than
those who pass US close at hand.
II Is very necessary to remember that
q movement in the object 10 bs photo
graphed and a movement in the camera
are very different matters. I slight
movement in the camera has the same
effect as considerable movement in the
object at which il is aimed. Slow,
steady movements naturally have much
less effect in the case of q hand camera,
or any camera working with shutter,
than Earring motions of any kind. Thus
you may stand up in rocking row-boat
and, il little dexterous, catch a picture
of q passing yacht without q blur. But
it would not be same to place the camera
on the rail of a steamer whose paddle
wheels were giving a throbbing motion to
the vessel. Always hold the camera in
the hands and free from the body where
there is much motion in the vessel or
vehicle upon which you are standing.
This will help soften the movement OF
the camera. Usually, however, the in
strument may be held against the body.
These difficulties give dash of excite
ment and uncertainty to the amateur
adventures with the detective. The
shots from the rigging, from canoes dur
ing boat race from the train window
or in the midst of running crowd are
made under condition that demand as
much precision as Buffalo Bills marks
men are compelled to exercise. The OPP
orator has often to decide very quickly
what speed anu focus he may employ,
and furthermore he must decide how
near he dare get to his subject in order
to bring It properly within the limits of
the plate, and also, If the object be in
motion, how near he dare get TO secure
expert shoots without looking in the
'finder, just as the markesman shoots
without glancing at the "sight. - 1t

appears.

The fact is, of course, that the speed
and capacity are in the lens and plate, re-
gardless of which camera they are placed
in. The glass of which lenses are made
is not all of equal Transparency, not all
of equal power III transmitting the light
that flashes through the opening. But
the difference between one lens and an
other, so far as mere speed is con-
cerned, is very slight. The greater diff
ference is in the plate, in the sensitive
surface that receives the impression.
The difference between hand camera
and tripod camera is not IN the plate
or in the lens, for the same sort of
lenses and plates that are used in one
may be used in the other. The Decul-
iarity of the detective camera Is that it
is made to get along without a tripod,
to focus by mathematical device, to
determine the location OF the image on
the plate by the aid of q "finder' or
camera obscura attachment. But all of
these improvements are sometimes used
on tripod cameras, and even the auto
matte shutter or eXposer that opens and
closes the aperture of the hand camera
lens is the same in principle as the shut
tiers used for instantaneous views with
the ordinary camera. So that the ex-
preston instantaneous camera does
not mean anything at ali. Any camera
becomes an instantaneous camera that
contains an instantaneous or rapid
plate.

with pure water from his arm, till at last
the Cochitenos were tired and went
away. Then the people came down
again to the pueblo, taking the padre in
great honor, and they were in peace, for
after that there was no more war. But
TO this day we make a sacred fiesta for
the Day of the Padre; and God has been
very good to US for that, more than to
any of the pueblos that killed their
priests. No, we do not know his name.
1t is very long ago, and that has been

was very much interested in Teodo-
sio's story; and my search to discover
how much of it is true-aside from the
palpable superstition of the miracle-has
not been entirely vain. The name of the
good priest was Fray Alonzo Ximenes de
CisnerUs. Some interesting letters writ
ten by him are still in existence. He
was stationed at Cocbiti, and did escape
thence By the help of the sacristan, on
the eve of the uprising. The people of
San Felipe did receive him and protect
him with self-sacrificiug loyalty really
remarkable when we consider their sur
roundings and the risks they took. So
far as the account of the siege goes, there
Is no historical evidence TO corroborate
it.. There were some skirmishes over the
matter, but nothing more serious SO far
az we cal learn from authentic sources.
But of this at least we may be sure
that the kindly Pueblos of San Felipe
saved Fray Cisneros from a fearful
death, \, it'll great danger to themselves,
and that they devoutly and reYerently
celebrate still the anniversary of the day
on which-according to Their legend-he
saved san Felipe.

very act of throwing a ball to one of the
others, and said "What's that?' And
he turned his head quickly toward the

arose. Fray (priest) Antonio Farfan had

pouuds) of corn for the support of the
garrison and the people; but it was mis-

sued. The starving Spaniards ate
all their domestic animals, !down
to the very cats; boiled rawhides
and old bones, and finally roamed the
mountains like hungry beasts. Over
200 of the scant population died, and
many owed their survival only the
Indians, TO whom they hired themselves
aud their families as menials. Seeing
the Spaniards so weakened, the Pueblos
believed that their time had come to
throw of the yoke forever, aud fourteen
pueblo towns joined in rebellion which
broke June l., 1896. 1t was q dreadful
day. Brave Fray Francisco de Jesus
Maria, who had gone far back into the
inhospitable mountains to carry the Cos
pei TO the Indians of Jennez was dubbed
to death by bis flock. At San Cristobal,
near Santa Cruz, the people slew their
gentle missionary, Fray Jose de Arvisu,
and in pretty San lldefonso the Pueblos
fred the little convent which had been
erected, and the three priests, Fray
Francisco Corbera, Fray Antonio Carbo-
nell and Fray Antonio Moreno, persisted
in the fire. Besides these five priests,
thirty four other Spaniards were slain on
that bitter day.
So much is real history. Now for an

1t is generally considered necessary
that a hand camera should have lens
with as short focus as possible. Many
portable cameras contain lenses having
what is called universal focus-that is,
that require no focusing for different dis
tances. Everything beyond few feet
will be evenly in focus. The trouble
with these lenses is that they distort
things frightfully. Near objects are
very large and distant objects are very
small. An ordinary room is made to
look as long as public gallery. A lens
that requires some focusing will give bet
ter proportions. and the shorter the focus
the easier Will be the general chances in
focusing. Many skilled workers prefer
a long focus hand camera lens for various
reasons, but the beginner will succeed
better with the kind 1 have suggested.
very useful table of distances for use
with detective cameras has been prepared
by DR.. j. j. Higgins. This table, pre-
pared with the standard "f' openings
in diaphragms gives FIVE different focal
distances, and shows the distance in feet
for which a camera may be set in order
to have all objects beyond IN focus.
Here is the table:

These seem like rather dry details, but
they should be understood BY those who

this sort of camera, to learn at the out
set what il will not do. 1t will not make
pictures without light any more than q

light. In fact, the portable camera,
used with quick '.shutrer, generally
requires the most light, for the camera
