A QUAINT Hopr CUSTOM.
Matrimonially Inclined the Maiden
! Utters the COurtship Cry.

UtterS the COurtShp Try.
One of the quaintest and most
beautiful customs among the Hopi
Indians is that of courtship, when
all manageable girls announce to
the world that they are thinking
seriously of matrimony. The Hopi
Indians live in the heart of the
Painted Desert in Arizona, and are
descendants of the ancient Cliff
Dwellers. Their method of courtship
is in accordance with the ancient
tribal custom by which man was not
allowed to propose, it being the right
of the woman to select her mate.
In Hopiland the night is the time
selected for this announcement And
lit is always the same. When the
Village is wrapped in slumber a
plaintive cry is heard, a long, low
sustained note uttered at intervals
of a few seconds. No words are used
and the sound never varies, the note
being only slightly modulated. Could
we look into the room whence is
sues the plaintive voice we should
see young girl bending over the
mealing stones and grinding corn
into meal, working the hand stone
up and down in perfect rhythm AS
she works she sings, and when she
rests the song ceases, to be taken up
again the moment she begins to
grind.
The effect of this mournful song
waited on the still night air is
strangely sad and impressive, and
one would be much puzzled as to it's
meaning unless familiar with the
time-honored custom. Strange to
say, there is no demonstration at
this time by the young men How
ever, their blanketed figures fit by
in the shadow of the houses, but not
even for a single moment do they re-
veal their presence by voice, or step
out in the moonlight so as to disclose
their identity.
After the Hopi maiden has thus
announced that she is looking for a
husband and has settled upon some
young man outside of her clan she
begins, by series of artful maneu-
vers, to show her inclination toward
the youth, and this pretty play is so
skillfully carried on that in all her
counting she never oversteps the
bounds of modesty or loses an atom
of her womanly dignity.

The Official Figures Dissipate h Pop.
ular Idea.
The popular idea that the Ame-i-
can Indians are decreasing in num-
Der is dissipated by Official figures
showing that there are more than
100000 red men in the United
States.
An increase in population of about
10000 in the last twenty years is
attributed to the government con-
slant effort to uplift the Indian to
the level of contemporary civiliza-
tion.
Three and one-third million dol
lars is being expended by the United
states annually for the education of
more than 10000 Indian boys and
girls. Looking to the broader and
practical education of the Indian the
government is expanding its system
of apportioning lands The Indians
are also being protected against
fraud by white settlers and land
grafters.

THE COST OF LIVING.
Government Finds 1t Must Raise APP

Government Finds 1t Must Raise APP
preparation For Army RatiOns.
The government at Washington is
confronted with tangible evidence
that the cost of living is increasing.
During the fiscal year which ended
June 80, 1908, the cost of the army
was placed at 1855 per man per
day, The estimate of the cost of the
ration the last year was based on that
figure.
When it caTae 10 making the esti-
mates for army subsistence for the
next fiscal year, which estimate had
to be submitted on the first of May
last, it was realized that the former
cost had been left far behind, as
nearly as could be figured out from
the official reports at that time the
ration for the fiscal year beginning
June 1910, would be 20.97c.
The discovery has now been made
that this estimate is too low. Basing
new figures on the actual cost of the
ration for this fiscal year the esti-
mate is 21.05c. About 100000
rations per annum are involved. In
completed figures indicate that there
will be a deficiency in the army sub
sistence fund for the current fiscal
year of $243, 900, due entirely, war
department officials say, to the in
crease in the cost of living.

cLARED WITNESS.
EVELYN HEARS W0MAN'S STORY
$4,000 Was Paid as Price Of Silence
to "Keep Them From 5othering
Thaw's Wife and Mother
One Gets $1,000.

White Plains, N. Y, July 2S.-Harry
X. Thaw sat in the supreme court
here and heard a womans testimony
that made his pallid face flush. He
saw a pearl handled dog whip exhib-
tied and he heard the witness swear
that she had seen him WELD it on the
bare flesh of young girls. The prison
er's wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, heard
most of the testimony, which was Of
such nature that Justice Mills pre-
coded its presentation with the warn
ing that mo woman should stay in
the court room unless she is willing to
hear everything" Two girls left the
room.
The witness WAS Miss Susan Mer-
rill, a Duxom, pink checked woman of
about 35 years, and she opened new
chapter in the life of Stanford Whites
slayer. She told Of alleged acts OF
hiy bHSyeen 1892 ana 1906 when he
was a young bachelor about New
York BAfore the tragedy In the Madi-
son Square roof garden that resulted
in his being placed in the state asylum
for the criminal insane from which he
is now trying to escape by proving
himself sane.
Brought Many Girls to Room.
Her testimony was in marked con-
trast to that of two alienists who went
on the stand and gave Thaw's clean
bill of health, declaring that in their
opinion he was sane. Summarized,
her testimony was that during the
three years named she kept in success
sion two New York lodging houses
where Thaw rented rooms under as
sumed names and to which be brought
at various times more than zee girls.
After Thaw's Imprisonment, she said.
she paid these women at least S25, 600
as the price of their silence and to
keep them from bothering Thaw's
wife or his mother" One OF them,
who, she said, passed as Thaw's wife,
received $1,000. The money came
from Thaw.
After telling Of Thaw's engaging the
rooms, the bearing of the evidence
upon the question of the prisoners
mental condition became apparent.
For at this point the mysterious pack
age which was brought to court yes
terday by Clifford w. cartridge,
Thaw's former counsel, was unwrap-
ped, and a pearl handled whip, about
three feet long, was brought into
view. With this before the eyes Of
court and spectators the woman re-
lated a series of stories about finding
Thaw on several occasions lashing the
girls upon their bare arms and bodies.
Posed as Theatrical Agent.
Thaw, she said, had posed as a the
atrical agent and had mred the girls
to his room with promises OF engage
ments. When she demonstrated with
him, she testified, his excuse was that
the girls weren't smart enough and
couldn't fiji their positions and de-
served a beating" She testified fur
Their that Thaw had frequently be-
haved in violent manner in her pres
ence and that she considered his acts
irrational.
