The Moqui Indians.

A hundred miles north of the Petrifed
forest and well into the edge of the Ari-
IONA desert are the seven strange and
seldom visited Pueblo cities of Moqui.
They all have wildly unpronounceable
names, like Hualpi. A-hua-tu and Mish-
~ongop-avi, and all are built on the sum-
mits of almost inaccessible mesas-
islands of solid rock, whose generally
perpendicular cliff walls rise high from
the surrounding plain. They are very
remarkable towns in appearance, set
upon dizzy sites. with quaint terraced
houses of adobe, and queer little corrals
for the animals in hooks and angles of
the cliff, and giving far outlook across
the browns and yellows and the spectral
peaks of that weird plain. But they
look not half so remarkable as they are.
The most remote from civilization Of
all the Pueblos, the least affected by the
Spanish influence which so wonderfully
ruled over the enormous area of the
southwest, and practically untouched by
the later Saxon influence, the Indians Of
the Moqui towns retain almost entirely
their wonderful customs of before the
conquest. Their languages are different
from those of any other Of the Pueblos;
and their modeof life-though to a hasty
glance the same-is in many ways I'M
like that of their brethren in New Mex

Telling the Bees.

The curious custom of telling the
bees" is observed in solne parts of nearly
every country in the world. Those who
observe the custom always go to the bee
hives and tap gently O each one, then
stoop and whisper under the cap or lid
that Mary. Jane, Thomas or William is
dead. This is done to keep the little
honeyn1akers from forsaking their place
of abode should they have to wait and
find out the news of the calamity them
selves. The custom is alluded to in

In the Country Store.

Some of the snowbound passengers at
n of the depots near Utica were tell
ing stories the other day, and a travel
ing ma was relating his experience in
a country store in a small town in JEFF
ferson county. He said he was there
nearly the entire forenoon, and had oc-
casion to note the peculiarities of the
storekeeper, who carried a general stock,
but a pretty small one. Every little
while a customer would come into the
store and inquire for some article that
the merchant did not happen to have in
stock. For instance:
"Haye you any dried beef, Mr.. CASH

Civilization and Wilderness.

Upon the 1900 miles of the shore Of
Lake Superior there are living now less
than $50, 900 persons, and these are
mainly in bustling cities like Duluth.
Superior and Marquette, in industrial
colonies like Calumet and Red Jacket,
Or in struggling little ports like Fort
William AMI Port Arthur. Even there
the WILDERNESS and primeval conditions
are face to face with the robust civiliza-
ton which is ~shouldering its way as cap
ital is accustomed to do rather than as
natural growth usually asserts itself.
Not that it is not wholly natural growth
which we find at all points on the lake
shore, for it is all in response to the mex
orable laws of supply and demand. Yet
the communities there have sprung into
being far apart from well settled regions
in answer to these laws.
Thus it happens that today n may
ride in an electric street car to the start
ing point for a short walk to a trout
stream, or n may take the steam rail-
road and in an hour alight at q forest
station, breakfasting there, but enjoy

Jimmy" O'Brien's Alleged Plot, as
Told in "Rioter" Burke's Confession,
From the Nel5 York Commercial Advertiser.
Coed news came to the braves of Tam
many yesterday. A confession was made
that exonerates Richard Croker from the
charge of killing McKenna on election day,
1874.
The confession comes from a man named
"Riotern Burke, who In the sixties was one
OF New Yorks picturesque characters.
along with Howard, John Morrissey and
others Of the same ilk.
Soon after John Kelly gained his ascen-
dency in Tammaly. after William NJ.
Tweed had gone into obliquy, he sent
Richard Croker to succeed Jimmy OBrien
as leader in the Seventeenth assembly dis,
trict. 1t was not exactly an easy job, and
for the plan 20 succeed It was necessary to
bring into play not only great political
ability, but physical prowess as well.
Croker was equal to the task, and at the
ensuing primary election knocked O'Brien
completely out. This 50 enraged the O'Brien-
ties that they swore war to the knife
and no quarter. On election day, in 1874
there was a row in which McKenna was
shot dead. O'Brien boldly pointed out
Croker as the man who had fired the fatal
shot. Croker was arrested and had two
trials. in both Of which the jury disagreed
on the first standing II for conviction and
for acquittal. and on the second 9 to 6. The
case never came up again, and not a great
many years ago the indictment was
Quashed.
The witnesses against Croker on both tri-
ais were numerous, and the evidence strong.
OBrien was sheriff at the time and his in
terest in getting evidence against Croker
was marked He made no bones Of it, and
once told Croker to his face, it is said, that
be would soon have the satisfaction of see
ing him dance on nothing"
The other day Burke called upon Croker.
The later did not know him, so great had he
changed from the time he was a political
heller. He had grown thin, his face was
emaciated, and he looked what he was,
man in the last stages of consumption.
Dick, he said. don't you know me"
81 don't" said Croker.
why, I'm Burke-Rioter Burke"
"Oh. yes. Well, old fellow, you are
greatly changed"
Burke spoke in husky voice, and with
apparent difficulty. Said he:

make a confession about the row that night"

Not Cent in Them-P cks no What
ever He Finds but Isa't Thief.


ever He Finds but Isl't e Thief.
From the Nelo York sun.
The conspicuous rotundity of little man
with long blonde mustache who walked
along Sixth avenue on Wednesday aroused
the suspicious of Detective Hayes, who had
been on the lookout for a week for the thief
who had been taking theater ushers' suits.
When searched at the station It was found
that the prisoner had three frock coats and
three waistcosts. From the numerous
pockets the detective fished up part of a
pewter funnel and broken hammer and a
lot of suspender buckles. Twenty dollars
came out Of the first frock coat, and there
were half dozen cuffs and a worn pair of
overshoes in the next coat Half-burned
cigarettes and old cigarette boxes and Gig
arctic pictures were stuffed in the tails of
the third coat. In the wsisscoats were hits
of leather and string, collar buttons. brass
studs, pins, needles, cards and theatrical bill
heads.
"Got anything in your trouser pocketsT
Certainly said the prisoner. "pve got
three pairs on, and l always have thing in
the pockets"
The detective started in afresh and found
all kinds Of trifes. principally horseshoe
nails.
1t took nearly half an hour to clear out
all the pockets. The prisoner had dwindled
to light weight of $50 pounds when the
last collar button was flshed out Of the third
pair of trousers. He didn't have cent Of
money.
"Where on earth did you get all that
truckF' asked Capt. Reilly.
picked it up" said the prisoner. when
ever 1 see anything in the street have an
irresistible impulse to pick it up"
The prisoner was William ketsltas and
he used TO be connected with the Broad way
theater. He was also advance agent for a
French opera company. At one time he
was reputed to be rich. Keteltas said that
he worked as a bill poster now. He lost his
money long ago and took to drink and he
appeared TO be mentally unbalanced Hayes
found that Keteltas had had nothing to do
with the theft of the dress suits and he was
discharged in court. He looked again like q
prize fat man as he walked out into the cold
air with all his clothes on. He stopped down
as he left the court and picked up bit Of
paper and stuffed it in his overcoat pocket
Then he lit one of his half-burned cigar-
cites and plodded on slowly in perfect con-
tent.
