Navajo Indian Weaving

I'm the art of weaving the Navajcs
excel all other Indians ia the limits of
the United, States" said R. G. Johns
of Santa Fe. "In fineness of finish
artistic design and variety of pattern
the Navajo blanket is ahead of any of
the handiwork of the other tribes. They
are clever enough to weave blankets
with the different designs on the opposite
sides, but of late years their work has
deteriorateG' somewhat because of the
substitution of inferior aniline. dyes
bought from the traders for permanent
native dyes formerly used, and also on
account Of the yarn got from the same
source, insead of the laboriously twilled
by the hands Of the Indians. They are
great at weaving belts, sashes, garters
and saddle girths. The Navajo woman,
finds her greatest diversion in this oc-
cupation, and the acquision of money
IS by no means the chief motive that ac-
tuates her in producing a blanket that
is really work of art, for after wear
ing it little while, till the charm of
newne'ss is gone, she will sell it at
price that doesn't at all compensate for
her time and labor. The wealthiest
of the tribe will weave just as assidu-
ously as their poorest reighbors, which
goes to prove that they regard it more
in the light of pastime than toil"-New

It took the jury in the Harris case three
hours to reach an agreement, and ver-

FAvERsHAM's PRIZE TERRIER
He Was Smothered in the Car on His
wav to Chicago-Actor's Letter

This is the story Of an actor and his
dog. AS the actor is a particularly gooo
actor, and the dog was particularly
good dog, the tragedy will cause grlet
among dog fanciers and matinee girls
Impartially The actor is William Fav-
ersham. the Gil de Bereault of the En-
pire theater's Under the Red Robe,
while the dog is Woodcote Balsamo,
No 45,062, American kennel club stud
book, and the best bull terrier that ever
came to these shores from England.
But Woodcote Balsamo, nicknamed by
Mrs. Faversham and her husband"Turk,
10 now dead, owing to what Mr.. Faver-
sham and his wife declare to be the
criminal carelessness of employees OF the
American Express company.
The news reached this city Saturday
in the form of letter written py Mr.
Fayersham to close friend ana aomlrer
of bull terriers in this city. 1t was datec
last Wednesday from the Auditorium
hotel, Chicago, and reads as follows:
.My Dear D.: l write you tnese'
lines, with a mighty heavy heart' anu
l can't help saying that have had goou
cry. Out of all the men I know, l am
sure you will appreciate my feelings
more than anyone. My great dog TURK
that I brought here from England was
shipped to me yesterday from New York,
and arrived here tonight DEAD-smoth-
cred in the cars! Just think of the Grim
lnal negligence of the railroad men! ]
was going to exhibit Turk at the Mil
waukee show next week. At Bingham
ton two weeks ago he easily won the
first and special prizes, and'l expected 10
get him into the New York show in the
champion class.
"As I look at his picture, which Is be-
fore me now, am broken hearted. Poor.
dumb fellow! I saw him stiff and cold,
and 1 feel ashamed at being the cause
of his having been sent here to die such
horrible death. Not only was he the best
specimen of his breed (as all England can
testify that was ever seen, but he was
such a good fellow, such a pal and
liked him better than any dog l had
ever owned. You can understand how
feel, / guess. Isn't it shame to think
that there is not more care taken of ami
mails when they are shipped from one
city to another? The railroad officials
ought to be roundly shaken up for these
things, for this is not the only case of
late,
II gave 5000 for him, and can never
get another like him. 1t Is the saddest
thing that has happened to me or years.
