NEW ELK LODGE.

An Elk lodge is to be installed at Bis
pee. The exact date has not been set
but it will be some time between the
18th and Goth inst. The installation of
a new Elk lodge is ordinarily no small
affair and they are going to make this
one more than ordinary. Already 125
charter members nave been secured and
50 900 have ben raised to make the in
stallation a swell affair. and there is
more money where that came from
waiting to be asked to assist to assist
in making the installation success.
WHOSE COURT HOUSE?
The Phoenix Republican seems to
have been misinformed. That paper
says that Peter B. Laidlaw who plan
ned most of the detail work on the cap
itol in that city. received a message
from Thomas Lowell. who built the cap
itol at Phoenix. telling MIN to come to
Ell PasO at once. that he had a court
house to build here and wanted him to
draft the plans. The Republican says
he came. but if he came expecting to
get to draft the plans for a court house
for Ell Paso he got disappointed when
he arrived.

BOUQUET FOR ARIZONA.

1t is regrettable that Arizona is not
able to put n state equipment into its
new capitol. Thitry-eight years have
passed since its territorial government
was established. and several states
have evolved from territories within
that period. But the admission of
Arizona to statehood is not likely to be
delayed much longer. The territory
has recently taken a fresh start in the
development of its wonderful resources.
Capital is flowing into its mining dis
tricts and railroad enterprises are Wig
orously pushed. A rapid increase in
population may confidently be expect
ed. followed by expansion of agricul-
ture and other industries. California
has n warm affection for its eastern
neighborhood. and would be glad to
welcome it into the sisterhood of

known as aikenite. The veins con-

Se.is as regards bloodthirst. Prof.
Mcgee says that it still remains very
deplorable and the visitors must not
oily be prepared, but visibly prepared,
fCr trouble at any hour of the day or
night. The one question on which the
Stris' treatment of him hangs is that
Of opportunity. 1t makes no difference
whether he be a Cauc1 sian or mixed
blood, a Yankee or Mexican. or even
/. member of another tribe of Indians;
the sole consideration is that he is an
alien. wherever or whenever found. Ii
the alien is well-equipped with means
of protection. so that it is plainly mex
pedient TO attack him boldly, he will
escape trouble long as his vigilance
remains acute. The night, which would
naturally be considered the most dam
gerous time for the stranger. is really
his safest time, for by doing careful!
watch duty by turns a party OF visitors
can avert an attack. But in the day
light there is apt to be perilous sense
of security and it is then that it be-
hooves every alien to be individually
on his guard. The Seris seem to have
none OF the sense of hospitality or
honor which marks many Indians OF
a higher type. They have some notion
of loyalty to each ether, but the rest
of the world is always fair game.
Another thing dif'erentiates the
Seris from the Indian tribes conyen-
tionally familiar to newspaper read
ers. namely, their treatment of their
dead. As far as is known, they have no
respect for the bodies of their war
riors, leaving these unburied wherever
they happen to fail, but the funeral OF
a woman is an occasion for great pomp
and ceremony. There may be some
relation between this and the fact that
the Seris, like most other Indians,
trace descent through the maternal
line. Indeed, in the Seri tongue the
women have NO word signifying IA
ther," though they have one for moth
er." Men only can speak of their Ia
thers. The reason for this distinction
is not manifest.

DENSE SERI INDIANS.
Tribe of Mexican Savages Thai Are
Incapable Of Learning.
Do Not Even Know the Uses of the
Ordinary Hunting Knife-Lnck
the Saving QunIitie. of
Other Aboriginer.

1.-THE Seri Indians" said Prof. W. y.
Magee, who has recently returned to
Washington from an chronological ex-
pedition into Mexico, "are in the scale
of civilization few degrees above the
Cocopah Indians, whom we set out to
visit; they do make their own bows
and arrows and boats and show some
cleverness in primitive navigating, but
they still lack the knife instinct"
This commentary, says a Washing
ton paper, called forth question as
to the meaning of the knife instinct
The ordinary man in a civilized COM
munity, the professor explained, is so
familiar with the knife and its pur-
poses that its use has become practical
ly automatic At the table he cuts his
food with his knife without going
through any conscious mental process.
1t is as natural for him to do this as it
is to take his drink from cup or other
vessel for holding liquor. Ii he wishes
to open package tied with twine in a
hard knot or to whittle bit of stick
or to split an apple into two parts, down
goes his hand instinctively into his
pocket for his knife, and h. can be
talking or thinking about other things
while he uses the knife for cutting.
Not so the Seri Indian. If he obtains
knife in barter ne thrusts it into his
belt as he has seen the Mexican from
tiegsmuu do, but in meaningless way.
It is n matter OF imitation and not rea-
soninr with him, for he has no idea OF
lha o.ur-n uses to which the Mexican

and with the aid oi hiz dogs he were
able to capture ana kill it il would
never occur to him TO use his knife for
cutting up the carcass. He would tear
it, like a wild beast. If he kills pony
for food and hangs a quarter near his
door to be eaten as needed he will bite
into the meat and pull it apart with his
teeth and nails, stripping the sinews
ard tendons gradually till nothing but
the bones are left To cut the 1esh
away would be the last thing to occur
to his mind and the most difficult thing
for him to accomplish. Civilized man.
with whom the knife habit. porsued
