The Apache Criterion of Wives

The plural-wife system prevails at
San Carlos, where it is regarded by
Apache bucks as profitable for the rea-
son that wives are tireless toilers.
They chop wood, carry water, pack
hay, herd stock. build wickiups, cook,
and in fact do all the labor calculated
to contribute to the necessity and COM
fort of the camp. Apache women are
merchantable-ar bought and sold.
A bucks wealth is estimated in part
by the number of his wives. The
value of a wife is calculated by the
weight she can carry; therefore those
having defective spines and unable to
pack a sack of flour or bundle of hay
or an eighth of cord of wood and a
papoose at the same time are not re-
garded as Ialuable property and are
less appreciated by their masters than
pony or burro.

A Mansion of Onyx.


One of the recent visitors tc the
East is William Cooper. who is called
in Mexico the onyx king. He said the
other day to a reporter: There is
enough onyx in Mexico to last about a
decade and then it will become an eX-
tinct material, unless mines are dis
covered elsewhere. No man now
would think of erecting a fine house
without having the interior decora-
tions largely composed of the finest
onyx. A certain millionaire who is
building a house on Fifth avenue in-
tends to have a grand stairway of
onyx that will cost something like
$500, 900. The famous stairway of the
famous peacock" mansion of Mr..
Leland. of London. will sink into utter
insigniGcance beside this grand Cor
inthian stairway of translucent onyx
expect to see solid editice of onyx
in this city. 1t would stand longer
than the Coliseum. Philadelphia Press.

ALLEGED FIREBUGs ON TRIAL.
The Suspected Incendiaries of the Dupon
Works mt, Wilmington.

Works Mt, Wilmington.
The trial Of the alleged Dupont frebugs,
called in the court Of general sessions at Will
mington, Del. yesterday afternoon. was post
poned until today, probably owing to the ILL.,
ness and absence of Chief Justice Comegys but
nominally because of the absence Of several
witnesses for the defense.
In anticipation of the sensational features
likely to be adduced at this trial the court room
was crowded yesterday. but the suspects were
not brought into the court chamber. Attorney
General Biggs. representing the state. an
nounced his readiness to 20 to trial, but the
counsel for VIM J. Gibbons, whose fate is to be
decided first. was unwilling to so on with the
case. as the roll call Of witnesses disclosed the
fact that several OF his were away. The attor-
ney general made no objection, probably be-
cause OF the chief Justices absence and the deli
cate condition of Judge Hous.ons health, the
further breaking Of which without the chief
justice on the bench would make repetition of
the trial necessary.
The will re long drawn out. probably
continuing several weeks. 1t is evident that
the prisoners will make hard fight.
The first point to be brought before the Jury
outside the facts of the case will be to present
to tue jury the fact that the Duponts are rich
and powerful and are trying to crush the poor,
helpless suspects. This plea will be worked for
Its full worth The friends of the frebugs
argue that the Duponts must have victims to
make an example Of Whether this same plea
will affect the jury cannot be ascertained until
the personnel OF tho panel is known, but it
will be exploited.
1t Is not improbable that the friends of the
suspects will try to get one OF their number on
each jury panel in the event of tales" being
called on, and if this move is successful it will
block conviction.
But one member Of the Dupont family was
present at the preliminaries yesterday and it is
hardly probable that they will figure conspicu-
ously in court at all. Their presence NIGH.
probably give color in the eyes Of many to the
charges OF persecution. started by the alleged
frebugs' friends. The hearings "a tar Us they
have gone already disclose the fact that the
alleged consplrators have friends whose 10y
atty leads them to perjury and who can be de-
pended upon to get the prisoners out OF Jail
IT evidence can perform the miracle.

The Imperial VIII Does Not Meet With Uni
versal Acceptance There.
The situation in tho agitated districts OF
China is well stated in an article Of the North
China Daily Ne,os Of November Z, of which the
following are the main points, The emperor
has issued very favorable decree, in which
Christianity is referred to in the most satisfac-
tory terms One or two officials have been de-
graded for not showing more energy in dealing
with the riots and some heads have been taken
off, the victims being BAD characters, whose
loss no one deplores. The higher officials have
been spurred into unwonted activity in preser-
walton Of order and have taken precautions
against recurrence Of riots. There has not
been very much done, however, to remove
causes of riots.
These are really due to wide dissemination of
anti-Christian and anti-foreign literature. The
source Of this literature is well known, but
nothing whatever has been done at the foun-
tain head in Human, and until Human is brought
to respect the imperial edicts and is stopped
from issuing poisonous literature, which it now
sends out, there will only be Q truce and no
peace.
While everything il at present quiet and ap-
pears likely to remain 80, this quiet IL partly
secured by the presence of considerable force

REPuBLIcANs AHEAD.

They VIII Probably Secure Three Of the
Doubtful Ssnatorships i'm New York.
A special dispatch from Albany sent last night
says
A matters stand tonight in the eight for the
senate the indications are that the republicans
will secure three of the four contested districts.
The matter is now in the court Of appeals and
must Be decided before December 30.
Judge Edwards in special term here today
granted writs Of peremptory mandamus COM
polling the state board of canvassers to issue
certificates in the sixteenth. twenty fifth and
twenty seventh senatorial districts on the face
OF the returns from those districts, and also
granted an order requiring the secretary of
state to surrender to the county clerk of Steu-
ben county the resolution regarding Sher-
woods eligibility passed by the steuben county
board OF supervisors, but afterward rescinded.
In the Duchess county district Judge Ed
wards granted a writ Of peremptory mandamus
Mylot return. These decisions Of Judge Ed
wards are pro forma. and not upon the merits
OF the controversies. In granting the orders
he said he had no time to examine the questions,
bis only object being to put the questions in a
position to be brought to the court Of appeals
for speedy dissemination. Immediately upon
the granting Of these orders appeals were taken
by the attorneys Of the state board to the gen.
eral term. which confirmed them, and appeals
were then taken to tine court of appeals.
The state board of canvassers today. after
brief session, took o recess subject to the call
OF the chair. This means q suspension Of all
work by the board until the court renders
its decision. The orders of Judge Edwards,
following close upon that of Judge Barnard
Saturday, ore significant. While Gov. Hill
was dealing with the democratic returning
boards in the different counties and removing
county clerks who refused to do his bidding, he
had things very much his own way, but when
he began to interfere with the Judiciary he
encountered serious obstacles
Tonight the republicans claim all four Of the
contested Seats but it is doubtful il Sherwood.
In the twenty-seventh district. will be seated.
His eligibility is contested on the ground that
he Is city officer at Hornellsville. The demo-
cratic state committee has issued a manifesto
in which it declares that the carrying of the
matter to the courts is eminently satisfactory
to the democratic party.

Club few days ago stated that he had an en-
phatic promise from Presidents Vond er Horst
Of the Baltimore team and Won der Abe of the
St. Louis team to join the twelve-club circuit
project. This assertion President Won Der
Horst denies. He further says that he has had
no communication whatever with President
Byrne and did not propose to go into any

Il have completed my team for next year and
will wait for Developments. This twelve-club
movement undoubtedly is one of MANY schemes
which the league will spring on the public be-
Of trying to create a prejudice. If President
Byrne is quoted accurately cannot see what
right he had to bring my name in connection
with it when he knows he never saw me or had
any talk whatever with any one connected with
the management.
''The league magnates are very anxious for
peace and have started all sorts of rumors to
lead the public to believe that the American
Association is weakening. This know is differ

visiting different association cities and inform

not inclined to act toward the league as that

that unless Brooklyn comes in, Columbus win

WAR ON CATTLE THIEVES.
"Rustlers' Said to BE Running the Bushes

"Rustlers' Said to BE Running the Business
OF Wyoming Stock Raisers.
State Senator Durham of Wyoming, says that
''rustlers' have ruined the cattle business in
that state and that q war of extermina-
ton is likely to soon be begun against
the thieves by ranchmen. Stock raisers
are being driven away, he says. by heavy losses
resulting from thefts. He himself has suffered
such severe losses as to necessitate his closing
out 600 business and leaving the state at
least so far as business is concerned.
Other cattlemen are in the same predica-
ment. Mr.. Durham says the thieves do not
only steal steers and calves and re-
brand them, but shoot cows, thus DESTROYING
the source of increase. Theee criminals
are mostly desperadocs from Texas and are
in such numbers to render it impossible for
ranchers to cope with them. They hold the
law in utter defiance and are. Mr.. Durham saws,
actually running one Of the largest industries

Strike Of Iron Men at Catasauoua.

The employees Of the Crane iron works at
CstAsauqua, Pa, numbering two hundred and
fifty men, have struck for an increase of 10 per
cent in their wages. Last fall they were re-
duced 10 per cent, which gave the laborers
only s1.0S day and the keepers of the furnace
s225. The officers say they can secure men
enough to bank the three furnaces. The OH
assert that the general condition Of the iron
trade is such that they cannot afford to pay the
requested increase. but would be willing to
do so by February. 1892. However, they are in
correspondence with head officers OF the com.
pany in Philadelphia and it is thought the mat
ter will be adjusted by tomorrow.
