ACROSS The YAQul COUNTRY.

The first White Man Who Ever Accom-
Piished the Trip.
Charles T. Naylor, an American pros
peetor who left the city Of Chihuahua
eight months ago for a trip across
the Sierre Madre mountains and
through the wild and dangerous coun-
try inhabited by the Yaqui Indians,
arrived at Hermosillo, Mexico, re-
Gently.
His trip was made in the search of
silver and gold, and was the most des-
perate undertaking imaginable. Mr.
MAYORS route from chihuahua was by
way of Tomochic, the town which was
entirely 6epopulated in an attack
made upon the inhabitants over a year
ago by Mexican troops. who massaered
the men, women and children.
Mr.. Naylor stated that in the noun.
tains west Of the fated town he came
upon a band of about two hundred
TomOchic braves who had an almost
impenetrable rendezvous upon which
all attacks Of Mexican soldiers had
proved futile Upon observing that
Mr. Naylor was an American bent
upon a peaceful mission, he was well
received. He spent two weeks with
the TOmOchies and then entered the
Naqui country 1t was there that he
met with difficulties. He was captured
by band OF Yaquis and held prisoner
for several days pending a decision
of the chief as to what disposition
should be made of him. After several
solemn councils by the chief with the
other prominent members Of the tribe.
Mr.. Naylor was placed upon a horse
and with two wounded Indians as
guards was started across the coun-
Try toward the west He passed
through a number of villages, and was
never permitted to tarry longer than
one night at a single place
At the western confines of-the Yaqui
country his guards left him and he
made his way with great difficulty
across the mountains to Hermosillo
Dir Naylor tells some marvellous stories
of the mineral richness of the Yaqui
country and states that the number of
the members of the Yaqui tribe has
been greatly underestimated. lie
claims 10 have seen fully three thou
sand armed braves. Some of the In
dian towns contain handsome chapels
and buildings, all of Aztec architec-
ture- Mr. Naylor is the first white
man that is known to have crossed the
faqui country. There have been nu-
merous attempts made. but the Va
quis always interfered. This is the
only tribe in Mexico which has never
been conquered.

LAND BARONs.

They Hold Millions of Acres Of swamp
Land IN Louisiana.
The New Orleans Picayune prints a
table OF the land barons Of Louisiana
and their holdings of unimprOved tim

appears that alien syndieates, compa-
nies and individuals own more than
100000 acres One syndicate claims

TO $4,000 acres are not uncommon.
Most Of this land is owned in the west

York and Philadelphia several hundred
thousand acres belong.
The Picayune explains that origin

the lands in Louisiana other than those

CREATING THE SLOT MACHINES.

Hundreds OF Bogus Pennies Inserted. Sup
PosedIy Made by Italian Counterfeiters.
from time TO time references are
seen in the daily papers, referring TO
the difficulty experienced by the ferry
companies. ear lines, etc, in disposing
of enormous denominations Of ordinary
copper cents. The reader is very apt
to remember this, particularly if in
exchange for dollar bill he IS re-
turned ninety-five one-cent pieces by
4 conductor Is a matter of fact, says
the New York Herald, there is no ex-
cuse for the item, much less for car
conductor or change-taker in unload
ing his weight of copper upon the al
ways more or less abused passenger.
The United States subtreasury, at
Wall and Nassau streets, makes, and
has made il a practice for years, of cx-
changing minor coin for United states
money of large denomination, and II
has many regular customers who are
so served. There are a number of Gu
rious things about cents as they come
to the sub-treasury. In the first
place, they ara quite extensively eoun-
terfeited. This may seem strange, as
the profit in a counterfeit cent is neees-
sariiy small. II is true, however, new
ertheless, and is supposed TO be the
work of Italians, vino, more largely
than any other nationality, seem to
favor the imitation of our minor and
subsidiary coin. The Brooklyn and
New Jersey ferry companies, the ele-
vated railroads Of both New York and
Brooklyn and the various slot-machine
companies are regular customers for
the exchange Of cents for other monee
at the sub-treasury. At times they
turn in enormous quantities, the slot
companies alone ranging between one
hundred and twenty-five and seven
hundred dollars a day. As might be
expected, all sorts of oddities in
the way of coin come in with the
quantity taken in the machines In
addition to the counterfeits are scores
of "not one cents" of war times, metal
discs and foreign copper, Austrian
money predominating. As the copper
cent is simply token, no matter what
its condition is, il is redeemed at par
If il can in any way be identified as
UUited States money. The popularity
Of the slot machine a year or SO
ago brought about a curious eondi
ton of affairs in the country. This
was nothing short OF "eent famine"
The headquarters Of the company is in
New York, and all agents sent their
cents here for redemption, which
drained the country OF its supply and
overstociled the minor coin vaults OF
the subtreasury here with cents.

a new form Of lead paralysis has ap-
peaned in Paris among the hands Of q

coal was rendered more eombustible
by being treated by nitrate, and thus
better fitted for lighting fires Nitrate
of soda or potash ought TO be used for
this purpose, but the factory proprie-

nitrate of lead, which increased the
weight Of the product. Naturally, the

and went to the woods of Bouiogne or
Viueennes. He next made choice OF
tree near where young children were
PLAYING, and having put moose round
his neck strung himself up. Then he
proaned and attracted the children,

desire 10 die was caused by destitution,
and he had not eaten for two days a

he instantly regained the use of his
limbs, and before leaving his generous
svmpathizers treated them to brief
autobiographical sketch, which set
forth that he was a respectable young
man from the country who had been
stranded in Paris and could ind no
work to do. It Is recorded that Gillet
performed this trick with great sue
cess between July and September, not
ONLY in the woods about Paris, but
also in the park at Versailles and in
the forest OF St German. In the last
mentioned place he had the good for
tune TO be cut down just as generous

him a liberal donation. Gillet natur-
ally took care TO tie his moose in a man
