made at another time. The most trouble
some obstacle encountered in trans
cribing the Zunian music was, per-
haps, in the idiomatic cadences run
ming through all the notes. And yet
this same feature gives to Zunian music a
decided singularity altogether unique
from a musicians point OF view, but full
OF weird coloring that constitutes much
OF the charm possessed by these melodies.
Heard for the first time Zunian song has
peculiar if not an uncanny effect. The
singer begins on note in whisper and,
dwelling upon 1t, increases its intensity,
and then shades 1t back again TO mere
breath. In this guise the serenade of the
Zuni lover becomes plaintive, appealing
song. And SO, indeed, it is with all the
songs of these odd people.
They sing to their deities and about the
fairest things in nature, that inspire
them to attune their souls to harmony
which, in spite of its customary weird
ness, has fair share of be auty.
Though some of their songs are not
ancient they are undoubtedly purely In
dian melodies, little modified by Aryan
influences, and as such these fragments
arelnteresting as musical expressions OF
primitive people.
1t Is not at all likely that Zunian music
may ever strike a responsive chord in the
popular ear, though its introduction in
fashionable concerts has served to bring to
light melodies hitherto unknown TO the
musical. and now preserved as scientific
records through the efforts of San Fran
cisco musician.

Weird Noods Of Strange New Mexican People, Now Musical

Throughout musical and scientific GEN.
ters in the East a new interest has been
created in the weird, fascinating songs OF
the Zuni Indians through wholly un-
looked-for medium. These same songs
had been taken on phonograph by men,
bers OF the Hemenway expedition purely in
the interest of science. and so far only one
musician has succeeded in transposing
them in accordance with the rules of har-
mony. Even the Zunian music received
no attention except from students Of eth
nology. 1t remained for young lady,
and San Franciscan at that, TO bring the
songs and melodies of these interesting
people OF New Mexico before the public.
Eastern papers and musical journals
have contained many fattering notices of
this young woman's novel concerts. She
appears in costumes of different nations
and sings songs which she is popularity
supposed to have learned from the strange
people of the Midway Plaisance at the
Columbian Exposition.
At least such is the impression this en-
terprising singer has allowed to go abroad.
Like the grotesque fad-the decadence-

a fascination for musical and cultured
people and their introduction has caused
stir at the other end of the continent.
The young lady Is well known here in So
ciety and literary circles, and she is none
other than Miss Viva CummIns, the daugh-
ter OF Mrs Ella Sterling Cummins.
Miss Cummins was pupil OF Professor
Carlos Troyer in this City for years. She
studied his arrangement of Zunian and
other music of a similar character. and
sings at least two Zunian songs, which he
received from Professor Frank H. Cush-
ing, director of the Hemenway expedition,
who learned them while living among the
Zunis. When DR.. Cushing was in San
francisco regaining his health after years
OF hardship in New Mexico, he delivered
one OF the most interesting lectures ever
given before the Academy of Sciences,
ana 1t was then that he met Professor
Iroyer, the Librarian Of the academy.
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-09

In the course of his lecture DR.. Gushing
sang several Zunian melodies. The notes,
as far as such tones could be recorded by
musical notation, were thereupon taken
by Mr.. Troyer, who declared that he could
adapt them to our system of music. at
is impossible" was the exclamation OF the
eminent archeologist, on being told that
the Zuni songs could be recorded. MANY
musicians have declared it beyond the
scope of civilized music to reproduce the
singular intonation and infections, and be-
sides there are fractional tones not known
in the chromatic scale"
But the musician persevered, and sue
ceeded in transcribing and harmonizing
the "Zunian Lullaby and the "Zunian
Lovers Wooing," which he dedicated TO
DR.. Gushing. They were played for bis
benefit, and at once DR.. Cushing pro-
claimed them perfect. And now these
songs are part OF the papers of the Hemen-
way expedition in the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, and preserved in the archives OF
the bureau OF ethnology.
The Zunian words were translated into
English by DR.. Cushing, but were never
published. They give fair idea OF the
character and spiritual leanings of the
Zunis, being full of dignity and express
slye OF exalted thought one toward their
deities, the other toward their women.

some difficulty was met with in attempting
TO convey the idioms. translated as spirit

thought are the "rising sun of life, and
the setting sun of rest''-very picturesque
and beautiful symbols. As glimpse of
zunian character the song is worth giving
IN DR.. Cushing's words.
The Lullaby is sung in the weird strains

Shot the Bank President.

NEW YORK, June 15.-At half past
IL o'clock this afternoon stranger
went into the new Amsterdam Bank
and asked to see the president, George
H. Wyckof. He was admitted into the
presidents office. In few minutes
the employees of the bank were startled
by several pistol shots in Mr.. Wyckof's
Office. Rushing in they found the
president lying on the floor, bleeding
from wounds in the side and abdomen.
The stranger had shot twice. After
shooting President Wyckotf, the man
tried to kill himself by sending q bullet
into his own abdomen. President Wye
koff was hurriedly removed to the New
York Hospital. His condition is criti-
cal. Mr.. Wyckof is sixty years old
and his home is at Montclair, n. j.
The man who shot him will probably
recover. He gave his name as Charles
Clark, 80 years old, but refused to tell
where he lived. 1t is said he demand
ed sum of money from President
Wyckoff who refused. The man then
pulled revolver and shot the presi-
dent twice. The shooting caused great
excitement in the neighborhood of the
bank. Nothingl is known about the
man Clark at present.
The man Clark presented letter to
President Wyckoff. 1t contained de-
mand for $4,000 and threatened Mr..
Wyckoff with death unless he furnish
ed the money. The letter also stated
that the bearer had partner outside
the bank who had Mr.. Wyckoff "cov-
cred" and that if he made any alarm
and refused to give the money, stick
of dynamite would be thrown into the
bank that would blow up the building.
President Wyckof, after reading the
letter, refused Clark the money, and
the latter then shot him. The police
believe that Clark is insane. AT the
New York Hospital it is said that
Clark's condition was more serious than
President Wyckotf's. The latter, it
was stated, might recover, although
his injuries are very serious.

WHAT STRIKES the ordinary news
paper reader as at least noticeable, if
not remarkable, is the fact that while
there is hardly republican politician
of any prominence In the country who
has not called at Canton recently, no
democrat of any note has of late dark
ened the door of the White House. Of
all the democratic Senators and Repre-
sentatives, few, if any, upon the ad-
journment of Congress, even called upon
the man they had helped to elect as
President, to bid him goodbye. There
must be some reason for this, and the
blame cannot be all on one side. For
eleven years the GAZETTE has said the
democratic party would find out that it
had been deceived in respect of Mr..
Cleveland, and that John Kelley was
right. There is hardly member of
that party that doesn't say SO now.

Mr.. MANLEY is not, and never has
been, admirable, either as man or as
a politician. but the abuse he is now
receiving from certain members of his
own party is not only unwarranted,
but is absolutely unjust. AS soon as
he reached ST. Louis he found that the
nomination of Mr.. Mckinley was az.
sured, and that neither his friend and
favorite, Mr.. Reed, nor any other man
had the ghost OF chance for it. Every
body else knew this as we'll as he, and
every body else said so, and why
shouldn't he have said so too? But
because he did, he has been, and is
still being, roundly abused by some OF
the members of his party who would
doubtless have done just as he did If
they had been in his place.

IT Is charged that the nomination Of
