performed the weird rites of the an
telope priests, who sing songs embody-
ing the NEUROLOGICAL drama of the
SNAKE Hero"
So much for the aboriginal sand
painting. Another sort of art work
in the same medium was produced
last Summer by tramp genius, who
went from one watering place to an
other along the New Jersey coast, pro-
ducing freaks Of sculpture on the
beaches. Crowds would gather and
watch him while he made really Won
derfl figures and groups in high relief
just below highwater mark, where the
raw material was sufficiently damp to
pack Sometimes it would be lovely
woman reclining. At other times the
fancy of the sculptor would run into
the political line, and he would turn
out portraits of Mr.. Cleveland and
other well-knCwn men. Benjamin Har-
riSon was shown, with grandfather S
hat either on his head or lying close
by. At intervals tie artist would take
up a collection from the gaping multi
tude and then go on his way rejoicing
to decorate the sands at some other
spot with ephemeral sculptures which
the next tide ruthlessly wiped out.

HIGH ART IN SAND.
Species Of Decorative Art Understood
by the Moki, indians.

Who ever heard Of painting in sand
The Moki Indians understand that spec
les of art. Two paintings Of this kind,
copied accurately after the originals,
have been newly placed on exhibition
at the National Museum, says the Wash
ington Star. Perhaps they might better
be called mosaicS, being done III sand
Of six different colorS on a fiat, hor1-
zontal surface. The cOlors are yellow,
green, white, black, and a mixture.
Such pictures are made by Mokl
priests and priestesses on the floors OF
their subterranean chambers. The SIX
colors stand for the cardinal points.
Yellow is the north, green is the west
red is the south, white is the east
black is the region above, and all colors
signify the region below.
One of the two sand paintings is q
copy of the kind of picture made fol
the annual ceremonial of the NIoki
women's festival to the Germ God
which takes place in September. The
work Of art is executed during the
progress of the secret rites. 1t rep
resents two figures in an elaborate
frame of different colors. On the left
is a likeness Of La-kone-ma-na, the
patroness of the affair. She is clad il
a white blanket. On the right is a por
trait of one of the twin gods OF war
who carries a zigzag Of lightning IN
his bands.
The other picture is a fac smile OF
the one made by the chief Of the Fra
ternity of Antelopes at the festival OF
the snake dance 1t is highly conven
tional in its character. Rain clouds are
represented by semicircles Parallel
lines show the rain falling. Four odd
looking Igzag figures stand for the
lightning snakes, which are respective
" red, green, white and yellow. The

Chicago, July 1.-The Columbian
Athletic club, Of Chicago, has about
clinched the international heavy
championship battle between Corbett
and Mitchell.
CorDett had already signed the con-
ditional articles of agreement to tight
Mitchell before the Coney Island club
for Il purse OF $4,000.
President O'AIalley, of the Columbian
club, felt sure Mitchell would never
consent to fight for the Coney Island
club il there was any way out of it.
He started agents after Mitchell and in
the meantime secured Corbett'S sigma
ture to an agreement which, i'll effect,
states that if Mitchell will not accept
the Coney Island agreement he Cor
bett) will accept the terms of the Col
umbian Athletic club, namely, $45, 900.
Furthermore, if Mitchell should fail
to meet him for the title OF the heavy
weight champion of the world, he
agrees to take in Mitchells place, Peter
Jackson.
Three hours after Corbett had sign
ed, cablegram was received from Nc
Donald, in London, saying:
Mitchell accepts the $4,000 offer.
[ have signed temporary articles for
him pending the arrival Of the final.
Have posted $500 forfeit for you with
Atkinson, of Sporting Life"
Then Dick Roach, Jack McAuliffe's
hacker turned UP with cablegram
from Atkinson saying:
Mitchell and McAuliffe both accept
the Columbian purses and await final
articles"
Under the provisions of the articles
the club posts guarantee of $4,000
that the contest shall be brought to a
decisive finish without interference
of any sort.
The articles Of agreement provide
that the fight is to be to a finish and
come off between the first and twentieth
days Of December, 1898; Queensbury

LAW GOES INTO EFFECT.

Bars Run Wide Open Until Midnight
the Law and Phenomenal Sales
of Intoxicants Are Made Through
out the State-No Rioting
Columbia, S. c., July 1.-The incep-
ton of the dispensary law was at
tended last night in Columbia with a
wild and Bacchanalian revolt. Under
the law the state has charge Of the
selling of intoxicating beverages. The
state has big central dispensary in
Columbia, which furnishes liquors to
the county dispensaries which are es-
tablished upon a petition of q majority
Of freeholders of a town.
Nearly every bar made phenomenal
sales this week, many people buying
enough to last months. Columbia bars
kept open house until II o'clock. The
sales We're immense, and as Il conse-
streets.
A double guard was ON duty at the
state dispensary, as threats Of burn
ing it were made.
The bars were all closed today and
the town was dry, no county dispen
sary having yet been established here
Reports from all sections of the state
including Charleston, say that large
quantities of liquors were purchased
So as not to patronize the dispensaries
Several dispensaries were open today
and more will begin very soon.
An injunction was obtained in Dar1
ington to prevent the opening of a dis
pensary there. No disturbance was re
ported anywhere in the state.

PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR
Operations Of the Geological Survey for
the Coming Twelve Months.

Washington, July 1.-Director Powell,
of the geological survey, has submitted
to the secretary of the interior a de-
tailed plan of operations for the survey
for the next fiscal year.
The typographical work east Of the
9th meridian will continue under the
direction of Henry GanDett; all west Of
the 103d meridian, under the direction
Of A. III. Thompson. Twelve parties
will be allotted the northeastern sec.
ton, three to the southeastern, seven
for the central and eighteen to the
western. The amount appropriated for
this typographical work is 100000.
The statement mentions in detail the
work Of the various divisions and refers
to the early abandonment Of the Adams
building and transfer Of the force Of
the engraving and printing division to
the building at 1884 r street, which Is
now being overhauled and reftted for
the purpose. The same general plan
will be used next year as heretofore.

SOUTH AMERICAN ROADS.

They Are Actually Worse Than Those
of Wisconsin.
Roads i'll Colombia and Ecuador are
scarcer and the means OF communlc;l'
ton are more primitive than those OF
China, especially in Ecuador, where,
during one-half OF the year, the inter
ior is entirely shut out from commerce,
which can only be- carried on during
the other half with great difficulty and
expense To these causes must be
chiefly attributed the backward state
of both countries. According to some
recent consular reports, among the
great necessities of Colombia are good
roads from the coast to the interior,
the few existing being at all times i'll
most broken and deplorable state,
and during the rainy season-about
eight months in the year-almost i'm
passable.
The road from Honda, the disembark-
alton place on the Magdalena river, to
Bogota, the capital, the only means
of communication with the outer world,
is a striking example. The distance
from Honda to Bogota is about Il
miles, yet it takes the mail on mule
back three days to perform this short
Journey, and goods sometimes three
weeks. In Ecuador the roads are mule
tracks, practically closed during the
rainy season, which lasts for the great
err part of the year. The rainfall Is
very heavy and the tropical storms
| tremendous.
In many places the only available
tracks are the beds formed in the loose
volcanic soil by deep torrents, and III
others a way has to beforced through
miles of deep mud produced by the
same cause. During the winter months
it is almost impossible for travellers and
quite SO for merchandise to pass even
over the main track from Guayaquil to
Quito. though in some places efforts
have been made to make a real road
of this.
!. The fact that last year POSTWAR

BADGER FISH WILL STAY.
Exhibit Not Likely to be Removed
from the Worlds Fair.

Chicago, July 1.-The Wisconsin fish
exhibit trouble stands today as it did
yesterday. The commissioners say
but the exhibitors declare that it will.
Nothing will be done in the matter
until the board meets, when it will
probably be settled to general sat is
faction.
Calvert Spensley, one Of the most
prominent and influential mambers of
the fish commission, was at the state
building yesterday ana while there
made the remark that so far as he was
concerned the exhibit would not be
withdrawn. He wished to leave the
board.
Mr.. Kirkland also said that there
were no well founded reasons to be-
lieve that the exhibit would be with
drawn On the other hand he declar-
ed that the commission had given the
board every assurance that it would
aid with all the assistance in its pow
er to keep it up, by placing the car at
it's disposal and furnishing it all the
men needed.
He said that the exhibit had attract
ed universal attention; that it was
thronged daily with visitors and adj
mirers; that it was doing the state
immense good by advertising it as a
fishing ground and summer resort, and
that it was absurd to suppose that 1t
would be abandoned. He denied that
the fish commission intended to give
it up, and said that even if it should
be so the board Of managers would care
for it.

Missouri Cashier Aroused from Bed and
Taken to Open the Vaults.
Lamar, Mo-, June 29.-The Hartley
bank, at Jericho, was robbed III daring
way. The cashier was forced to get up
and go TO the bank, half mile away,
and open the safe.
The robbers completely cleaned out
the safe, leaying nothing Of any value,
taking all the cash and quite number
of valuable papers.
The Hartley bank is private one
and chartered for $1,000, and was
largely used by stockmen, who carried
deposits ranging from 500 to $1,000
each. The cashier says there were four
men in the gang. There is no clue to
the robbers, but they are thought to
have been residents of the county. The
amount secured is not definitely known,
but estimates place it from 5000 to
$4,000.

that an accessory can be convicted,
even if there has been no conviction OF
a principal The district attorney de-
clares that he will proceed against
William Hanscomb for perjury.
G. w. Felker, who is counsel for
Bronson in this case, prosecuted Eu-
gene Vaudecar when he was tried for
the murder of Mead, and a clever
piece of work that the veteran lawyer
did in connection with the Vaudevar
case is still talked about here.
He felt certain that the woman to
whom Vaudevar claimed to have been
married knew something that would be
of value as evidence, but she could not
be a witness against Vaudecar for the
reason that she was, ostensibly the de-
| PENDANTS wife.
Mr.. Felker made an inyeStiga ton
and found that Vandercar had been
married to another woman, from whom
he had not been divorced at the time of
his marriage to the one whose testi
mony was wanted. He proved this in
court, showed that the desired witness
was not the defendants wife and then
compelled her to testify.
Judge Cate talked almost the entire
day. 1t was merely his opening adj
dress in which he should have outlined
his case, but instead he went through
the entire evidence of the state, calico
their witnesses liars, etc. and said the
state had put up a conspiracy.
The court adjourned over the fourth
of July, to Wednesday morning.

Sub Officer of the Victoria Tells Where
the Blame Lies.

Valetta, Malta, July 1.-The story
told today by a sub-ofhcer of the lost
ship Victoria, puts another aspect on
the question where the blame lies.
This officer states that Rear Admiral
Markham saw that by following the
order signalIed from the flagship that
a collision was bound to occur and
made preparations accordingly.
A signal for information desired by
the vice-admiral was sent twice but
the rear-admiral disregarded it each
time. The yice-admiral then signalled:
"Why are my orders not obeyed-"
Rear-Admiral Markham was then
obliged to obey orders and the collision
resulted.
