HAS NERvEs AND INTEGRITY.

An Army Lieutenant Handles Pistol and
 Rascally Contractor Equally Well.
 The following story is told by the New Orleans Picayune about Lieut.. John w. Heard, of the Third cavalry, who is one of the best shots in the army and has reputation for personal bravery which is second to none: Some time ago he was detailed as quarter master at Fort Thomas, A. T., where for a good while there had been an enormous lot of swindling going on and several quartermasters had made q wreck of their rcputations. The con- tractors had had their own way for a long time and imagined that the new management would be like tho old. Bids were sent in and contracts at plies, when one day Lieut.. Heard dis covered that the papers setting forth the goods and figures bid by one of the contractors were missing. He insti- tuted an inquiry, and found that the papers were in the hands of the con tractor. The quartermaster at once rode to town and, seeking the contract or's office, demanded the papers. The contractor, smiling, refused to surren- der them, telling the lieutenant that he would be taken care of in the matter. Tn moment he was looking down the barrel of Lieut.. Heard's pistol. "Give me the papers!" commanded the ,quartermaster, sternly. The contrac- tor delivered them up with all conven- icnt haste, and Heard then took them back to the post and found that they had been altered SO as to defraud the government out of thousands of dol lars short time after Lieut.. Heard was set upon by. four. armed men at Pittsburg, Tex. He made for .oae of them, wrested his pistol from him and killed him with it. The other assail- ants took to their heels. The man killed was the nephew of the con tractor whose rascality had been check mated by Heard.

A MEXICAN FETE.
Celebrating the Feast of San Lo-
 re@zo in New Mexico.
A Weird Performance in Which Grotesque Dancers Pay Tribute to tho Saint LEdssrous Features of the
 Ceremony.

Shortly after sundown the fete of San Lorenzo was inaugurated. It was an opening performance, as weird as ,o witches dance, with fend from the ,eInferno Adding out the accompani- ,qment, says Bernalillo dispatch to the 9New York advertiser. Fagot fires were lighted in every square of the narrow, dusty streets, and soon the town was all ablaze with the yellow glare that cast fantastic shadows upon the walls of the little cubes of mud, the abode , houses of sun-kissed cline. A shot was fired, and there emerged from one of the low buildings a string of as peculiarly -garbed men as one might see in a years travel through foreign countries They came tripping out in single file, about twenty in number, swaying their lissome bodies in rhythm with a two-string fiddle and a guitar that was sadly out of tune, the while executing dance that was never seen upon any stage. The costume was re- ally a wonderful affair, the headdress being markedly striking in design and finish. In shape something like the French chapeau, it served the double purpose of mask and headgear, ex- tending to the mouth and enveloping the greater part of the head It was gayly tinseled and tasseled and fairly shone with beads and all the ornamen- tation which the Mexican fancy can suggest The lower part of the face was concealed by silk handkerchief of brilliant color, leaving small aper- ture for breathing purposes Down the back floated vari-colored streaners, and capes of rich material dropped gracefully from the shoulders. In one hand they carried scroll work that looked like the substantial side of paper rack, and with the other they rattled their prettily decorated casta- nets in tune with the monotonous movements of the dance. Some of the dancers were distinguished in an origi- nal and startling way, which, to the American onloolxer, lent ridicule to the whole inane proceeding. Over their velvet trousers were drawn abbreviated balloon pantalettes of the style so af- fected by the comic paper cartoonists in their sketches of the aunties of col ored society.
 Around the flaming fagot fires they formed and amid a silence as profound as graveyard at night they circled these tributes to the saint, never chang ing the step, but varying the move ments Of the body at command of the leader. Sometimes they would bow and scrape to the flames, and then fall to the earth and squirm and wriggle like so many horrid snakes. It was a

 weird scene. The glow from the fires dreadfully accentuated- the painted faces of the Indians, who stood stoically silent, with no manifestation of ap- proval or displeasure. They formed lurid background to a decidedly dra- matic ceremony. The senors them selves, mantled in their serapes, were an interesting partof the stage group, and the gaunt and sallow faces of the senoras seemed to reflect the spirit of superstition that swaycd the scene. The dancers never appeared to grow tired. It was "Oh, on with the dance" all the time, until a diversion was created by the sudden appearance of an evil spirit in tie makeup of bull This fellow wore horns, and the greater part of his body was incased in the hide of the anifaal that shows so much antipathy to rcd
