Bough Experiences of the Travelers in the Mountains While TRYING TO FIND A LOST TRAIL. A Land Where Water Is Keally Far More Trecious Than Gold. BEEE5ADED BI TOE 11USIC1L COTOTES CWKITTEJI FOR THE DISrjLTCH.J "We had been working on the Cydorama for 12 months, and we were dead tired; there was no donbt at .all that we needed a rest. I had said oyer and over ajain to the "Crow" (he used a crow for a signature in his iketches): "When we get through with this I am going off on a Tacation belore 1 go back to New York." Perhaps it was the Crow that said this to me first. At any rate, we had each said it to often to the other that it had become quite a settled tact between us that, as soon as tne picture was completed, we should go off on a Tacation together. We were ttrougK ky ike end of March, and the daily question changed from "When are we going?" to "Where are we xoinc?" JIarcli and April, in Chicago, are not suggestive of a very pleasant time out of doors anywhere. It was getting to be too late for duck shooting, it w4s to early lor fishing the weather too disagreeable for anything. "We wanted some place where we could be out of doors. Wisconsin? Michi gan? Illinois? Indiana? all too wet or too cold. Florida? or the South? Too many people. California? "We had been there just at this time of year, and didn't care to repeat the experiment. "Where should we go? "We asked everybody we knew; they all told us a different place lome few irreverently suggested SheoL But at last we struck a man, and an inspiration, "New Mexico." The Kodak a Sign of Peace. We were soon ready. We left Chicago On the 8 r. II. train, and as we were going to rough it, we scorned the seductions of a sleeper and took a seat in the chair car. When we started the car was pretty well filled, and an uneasy movement among the passengers made us realize that the more timid among them imagined from our war like appearance that we intended to hold up the train as soon as it had pulled out of the city limits. But the cooler beaded concluded that though robbers might carry a gun and a truculent appearance (such as by this time the Crow had assumed), they do not usually carry a Kodak. When we finally arrived at Deming we amused ourselves walking through the streets of this typical Western town, try ing to feel and look as little like tender footers as we could. The sun was hot, the air was dry, but the atmosphere was so ex hilarating" that one could feel one's self growing j-ounger with eery breath he drew. Everybody we met ireated us cor diallv. Eten bodv looked tough and was, in manners, a gentleman. 'you wouldn't think that I came here for my health," said one of the burliest, toughest, and, withal, the most courteous of the Demingites. "Yes, sir, a few years ago I was dying and as thin as a shad; " now I w,eigh 220 pounds, and feel as strong as an ox." Stage rij ers are Mostly Mules. Pretty soon the stage came in. The stage is a buckboard The spirited team of horses, with which we are all familiar in the Western stories, is a span of mules. It runs from Deming to Polomas, a small set tlement just over the border of Mexico and about 36 miles from Deming. Comes one day, goes back the next. We spoke to the driver about wanting to go with him to Columbus; he seemed doubtful whether he could take us, on account of having consid erable freight (consisting principally, by the way, of whisky and bottled beer), for Poloma. However, he would try to make shift if one of us was willing to ride, like Bacchus, astride of a barrel. The day we went to Columbus the wind was blowing, and when the wind blows the air is full of sand. The sandstorms are the great drawback the country has to contend with. Before we had gone two milesour eyes were full of sand and stones and grit and pieces of Arizona and California. Our mouths were full of alkali dust, and the whole outfit, rig and men, looked as if it was covered with flour. But, for all that, the air was so pure that, although it is irri tating and annoying to have your hat blown off, or the contents of j-our pipe scooped out and blown away just after lighting it, you take in, along with portions of the terri tory lying west, so much ozone that there is positire exhilaration to the feeling that you are alive. All the country is so dry, the rivers and iprings so far apart, that the cattle com panies who control the ranges have erected -windmills at intervals of about 1G miles to pump water for the cattle. In spite of the apparent poverty of vegetation, all the cattlemen insist that there is splendid feed for cattle. At this time they looked to our unaccustomed eyes decidedly thin acd poor, and there seemed to be an alarmin; number of dead beasts, especially near the oases of the windmills. We stopped about 1G miles from town at one of these windmills, and excavated our sandwiches, washed out our eyes, ears and mouths, and ate our lunch. A Specimen of Uie Mexican Army. For a few days we did nothing just rested, laid around and loafed, and how good it did leeL The air was delightful in spite of the occasional sand-storms, and every day the Crow and myself spent every available hour out of doors. About four miles from Columbus is 1'olomas, in its turn a frontier town of OJd Mexico. Here is located the custom house, and a mob of tramps, called by courtesy a company of soldiers, assist the collector in guarding the Mexican frontier against smugglers. Theie is nothing to smuggle. On the American side the Government is represented by one man, and he, I should judge, is by no means.overworked. The band of soldiers which represents the Mexican army at Folomas reminded me very much of the chorus of a s'teenth-rate comic opera com pany, and looked as it hadn't very good credit with the costumer. They are the raggedest lot of rapscallions ever dignified by the name of guards. When they are dull and hard up for amusements, tbey pass the time by killing one another. Nobody cares; and it gives the officers occupation in the shape of court martial. They aver- i age one corpse and two deserters per week, but the force is kept up by recruiting from the various prisons. It is a fine body of men. Geronimo and his Apaches spent consid erable time in this section, and the Tres Hermasas particularly was a favorite re sort of his, on account of its inaccessibility. Here, we were told, was a cave to which he used to retreat when the neighborhood be came too warm for him. He would co there and stay "out of sight" for the "heated term." "We found the cave, the opening to which is away up near the. summit of the highest peak. From the entrance one can command a view over the plain, almost unrivaled in the sense it .gives of unlim ited distance. The cave seemed to de scend perpendicularly into the bowels of the earth. Really a Miniature Gibraltar. It's no wonder that nobody ever at tempted to dislodge Geronimo from this HERD OP CATTLE AT AN EMriT WINDMILL. stronghold. One determined man with a Winchester rifle, plentv of ammunition, and enough food and . water, could easilr keep a whole army in check an indefinite time. The next day the Crow and I went out to the cave early in the day and spent several hours in and around it We did some sketching, took some snap shots, ex ploredthe nave as far as we could go, and found it much like other caves, though it had many points of interest peculiar to it self. We had a great dav and I shot a rattlesnake. It" was asleep under a rock and I could reach him no Mother wav. but I tnought, after I had fired, that "i had shot him through the mountain, for not a trace of hissnakeship could I find. After hunt ing around, however, I found I had blown him to pieces and scattered him over the mountain. I found the part of him with the rattles on, which I secured in triumph. Next day I cut the rattles off another snake without killing him. Everybodv I have told this to seems to think this was a risky thin? to do, but it did not strike me so at the time, for a wagon had passed over the snake's head and smashed it. At the time I met him he wa lying so still and so quiet that it seemed quite unnecessary to kill him again. Did you ever spend an evening with a coyote? We have. The coyote is not a very sociable bird, is somewhat diffident in the'daytirae, and prefers to. hold communi cation wjth you after dark. It, not he or she (they are of all genders) has a fine mez zotint voice of conslderalTe (cattle) range and compass. He Iotm to make one in s surprise party at the campfire of a gang of "tenrterfooters." He invariably brings his voice along. He sings by ear, and seems to do his best when accompanied by a Winchester rifle. Our experience with Mr. Coyote began on the evening we camped out. We had seen him before, but had not been introduced. We bad shot a few jack rabbits, and some quail, and bad not cooked them on account of not having any toast with ui, but-we-had a good supper of (oh, prosaic fact!) bacon and coSee. We had smoked our pipes and pulled down our nightcaps, and felt at peace with the whole world. A Most Interesting Evening. It was a pitch darfc night The game we had killed was under a bush near our heads; a dog, which we had brought with us. from the house for company, lay at our feet. We had said our last good night, and had drawn . - . - TRYING TO TliTD A LOST MOUNTAIN TRAIL. the blankets over our heads. For awhile all was still. I lay awake for some minutes; nothing broke the stillness of the night save the heavy and irregular breathing of our faithful dog, and an occasional cough from my companion. Surely, thought I, this is peace, how muchbetterthis is than the ever lasting racket of the city; and musing thus, I gently closed my eyes" and Composed my self to sleep. All of a sudden -G-r-r-r-r-r-r Bow-wow-wow G-r-r-r AVo w Bangity Sing-whack Come out of that Hang HOOP LA Bow-wow-wow-wow Yir-yow-YIPPrrr-YIP Wow G-K-K-B-B. Our faithful dog was locked in a deadly struggle with a gigantic terra-cotta covote. who at the moment of impact had been in the act of purloining our quail. They were almost ' on top of us, and the noise they kicked up would have stamped a political convention. We called off the faithful dog that is, as much of him as was left and let drive into the coyote. We fired 16 shots into him before he realized he was not wel come, when he left in high dudgeon. But not lor long. He was back again in' 10 minutes with the glee club to which fie be longed, and for the rest of the night they kept up one perpetual howl, or rather sev eral perpetual howls. Not one wink of sleep did we get all night. Everv time we could locate one particular voice.'we would let drive at it, but we got no satisfaction out of it, beyond the-exercise. Coyotes are not goo'l to eat, and their skins are no good; but if they were as good as mince-pie, and their skins worth ?500 apiece, it would have been the same to us, for we did not seem able to hurt them at all. But we had an interesting evening. An hour or so before dawn they left us; POLOMAS AND ITS MEXfCAN GARRISON. but we didn't get any sleep we didn't seem to want any. But the sun came up, and we felt as refreshed as if we had slept in a feather bed, we forgot all about the ooyotes, and were soon busy getting break fast. We had brought a large canteen with us on our pack saddle, and we were careful to fill this up before we started for the mountain. The horses had a good long drink, and we felt able to go till night, if necessary, withont striking water. We had a long tramp before us. Taking tnrns to ride kept us from getting footsore, but it was long past noon before we had climbed .the deceptive foothills skirting the mountains, and which, for several hours, kept .two, or. three hun dred yards ahead of us, without allowing us to get near them. Then we started to the left and couldn't -find any barro track; there were plenty of cattle tracks, but what the distinguishing difference would be between a cattle track and a burro track was something we did not know, and had forgotten to ask. Then we skirted to the right, plenty of cow tracks, but none that we could decide on as indicating burros, and finally .we concluded to make a dive into the first gully that promised accessi bility. So we did, and we had a great time of it. In two or three places we had to almost drag up the horses, especially old Cinnamon, who showed an alarming inclination to lie down. We stumbled, and fell, and tripped, and swore, and dragged, and pushed the horses, ami sweated away with a persever ance worthy of some lofty ambition. We began to feel serious. It was growing late. We were nearly a day's journey from the last water we knew of the windmill and there was,. as yet, no signs of any water where we were. We hunted diligently. We went several miles in every possible direc tion, but for some reason or other we missed just the right one. The Retreat to the Windmill. At last we surrendered. We saddled up the horses, and made up our minds to get out of the mountain while we were able to walk, and to tret as far as we could on our way to the windmill without giving up. My throat was all swelled up, and I found it not at all easy to speak much louder than a whisper. We neither of us wanted to eat what we wanted was water barrels of it. It seems an awful waste of good material, when you remember that the State of Illinois and all the Middle States were under water from the floods just at this time. At nightfall we just dropped down in our tracks and went to sleep. We were still a long way from the windmill, and the night was" too "dark and the horses too tired to at tempt to go much further. We took the saddles off the- horses, and did not pretend to prepare any meal for ourselves. We just pulled our blankets over our heads and tried to forget our sore throats and swollen tongues in sleep. We awoke just as dawn wat showing in the sky. We staggered to our feet, saddled up the horses and tottered on. In half an hour we could seethe wind mill, still a little way off! By 8 o'clock we were within a mile; every toot ot that mile seemed a league; then, as we came nearer, we saw that not a breath of air was stirring, and the windmill was still. But there was a reservoir in connection with every windmill, into which the overflow of the trough runs, and we felt sure that there would be plenty of water in this. Eagerly we pressed on, the. horses seemed to realize we were nearing water, and required less dragging. Soon we could see that several hundred steers were standing around the windmill, evidently on the same errand as ourselves, and the horrible conviction was forced upon us that there was no water ! The reservoir was empty, or contained very little beyond a sediment of stinking green slime, and dead cattle lay around, pollut ing every drop of stagnant water that could accumulate. A Man of Expedients. "There surely must be a way out of this," said the Crow. "Yes," I" said, "there ought to be. There is a ladder down into the well, but it is GO leet deep; we might go down and get a drink, but in the state we are we couldn't carry a tin cupful up that distance." But the Crow is a man of expedients. He climbed up the ladder leading to the mill, and watching for the almost imperceptible breaths of air, he started the windmill by hand. Working like a horse, he succeeded in getting the water to run. I filled our tin pails and took a long drink surely the sweet est draught that ever passed a man's lips. Then I gave the dog a drink, and then I filled up the bucket and gave the horses a little. By ihis time the Crow' was tired, so I went up and took his place, and so by al ternately pumping and drinking, and firing a shot occasionally, to keep the steers away till we were done,"" for they were nearly frantic when they saw the water trickling from the pipe, we succeeded in quenching our own thirst aud our horses , and got enough water in the canteens to make some coffee. JFor bv this time we were hungry: wo wanted coffee, and the coffee we made (though we -should probably have killed a waiter if he had brought such stuff to us in a restaurant) tasted better than anv coffee I ever had. A few days after,.we had tosaygoodby to Columbus.

Taking eslimonj on the Yalufl of -Allegheny-City Breweries. THE NEWS 01 THE COUNT! COURTS The Pittsburg Terra Cotta Lumber Com pany, of Pittsburg, yesterday entered suit against the International Terra Cotta Lum ber Company, a corporation of Illinois, to recover ?40,000. A writ of foreign attach ment was also issued against the goods and effects of the defendant company in the possession ot the plaintiff company in Pitts burg. It is stated that in 1889 the defend; ant company represented that it was the owner of several patents covering the pro cess of manufacturing porous earthen ware, etc In August 1889 an agreement was entered into giving the plaintiff the right to manu facture and sell the patented articles in the territory included within a radius of 100 miles around Pittsburg. In April, 1890, the territory was enlarged to include Penn sylvania, West Virginia, Delaware, and' part of New Jersey. The plaintiffs were to have the exclusive rights, and the defend ant company was to maintain the validity of the patents, sue infringers, etc. Tor these privileges the defendant company was paid $15,000 in cash and 500 shares of stock in the plaintiff company. Since then many firms have infringed the patents and taken the plaintiff's territory. The defendant company was notified, hut never prosecuted, aud the plaintiff com pany was left to the mercy of the infringers. Many suits they have brought themselves, and the validity ot their claims depends on the United States Courts. The defendant company, it is asserted, has violated its agreements, and is now asked to pay $40,000 damages in consequence. THE VALUE OF BBEWEBIES. Testimony Taken in the Salt Against an English. Syndicate. In the United States Circuit Court yes terday the case of D. Lutz & Son against the English brewery syndicate was contin ued before Judge Acheson. Mr. Dawas Lutz was on the stand. He testified as to the valne of the property. He estimated $200,000 for the ground and building of the Lion Brewery and 5300,000 for the Alle gheny Brewery. The good will he placed at $125,000. The average profits of the firm for the past three years was $103,586. Attorney Ferguson for the defense asked the "witness if he had placed a proper value on the good will when the profits were so large. Mr. Lutz said it might be $50,000 more. He estimated the personal propertvand stoek, including 52,000 bushels of malt. 11,000 barrels of beer, 400 bags ot rice, 37 horses, 2G mules, wagons and minor items at over $100,000. Theodore F. Straub, of the Eberhart and Ober Brewing Company, was called for the purpose ol giving an estimate ot what he considered the Lutz plant worth, but he said he was not sufficiently informed to give an opinion. The case was then adjourned until Mon day. AFIEE DETECTIVE JHJBPHY. Attorney A. BlaUely Wants the Officer's Bona Forfeited, Attorney A. Blakely filed a petition yes terday asking leave"; to sue ".on the $2,500 bond of Detective "P J.-. Murjrhy on the -claim that-he has exceeded his privileges. The petition grows' out ot the alleged kid naping of the Slav editor from the- city of Wilksbarre. The act providing for fife es tablishment of detective agencies requires that parties to whom licenses are granted shall give bpnd in the sum of $2,500, and if they go beyond the privileges granted by the'act the aggrieved may sue on the bond and recover damages, but they must first get the permission of the court to file the suit.

The charge was 'ill-treatment, and the jury returned a verdict for the defend ant, thus refusing a divorce. Judge Slagle grants a new trial because in his charge he omitted to refer to the testimony of the plaintiff as to why she would not live with the defendant. The jury might have over looked it also, and the new trial would be granted. He Had Another Wife. Katharine Kovolsko is tho plaintiff in an interesting suit filed yesterday against Charles Holnian.

Com mon Eense is the application ot thought to common things, and it is rare, because most persons will not exercise thought about common things. If some important affair occurs, people try then to think, but to very little purpose; because, not having ex ercised their'povrers on small things, they lack the development necessary for great ones. Hence, thongbtless people, when forced to think on an important subject, blunder through it with no more chance of thinking of it as they should, than one would hare of hitting a small or distant. mark at a shoot ing 'rnatcli, it previous practice bod not ;iven the power.of hitting objects that are large and near. So thoughtless people perpetually speak of the teachings ofDelsarte as if they were of very, little consequence,, or the mere tad of the hour, as if the raising of an eyebrow or the ability to walk gracefully were the sum and substance of the whole matter. Cariosity of the 3MC oment. Such people will listen to a lecture for the amusement or curiosity of the moment, and with blind or foolish indifference' remember little of what, they hear, and that little, to no purpose; seeing, tbey. perceive not, and hearing, they do not understand. Thonght- lui persons, on the contrary, listen with a purpose. "Whatever they hear is digested by their thoughts, and so the powers of the mind are strengthened; and in proportion as they lay hold- of the srreat principles of Dclsarte, will the mind become active and powerful. Uothing'will be heterogeneously piled up, but all the facts will be laid avay in order to be referred to with ease when wanted. No one can deny that at present there is a tendency toward .superficial culture. This, I suppose, is the natural result of the immense amount of books and periodicals constantly pouring from the press, tempt ing readers to dip a little into almost every thing and to study nothing. A Step Toward "Reformation. Still the consciousness. of our own short comings that lead to an investigation of any subject is thefir3t step toward reforma tion. The teachings' ot Delsarte as embodied by Mrs. Edmund Russell, claim to trach men and women perfect freedom of mind and body by well regu lated'effort to overcome the weakness and imperfections of the bodv,'and thus evoke the truly manly.and womanly qualities of grace, of mind and person; so'tbat they will by constant and intelligent development ever increase in strength" and power. Of course the relative force -of development varies in each individual, but progress is eternal, and no man can tell beforehand of how much he is capable.

"Withont uniformity of structure there can be no uniformity of powers and mo tions," says this great teacher. Again, "too gfeat hardness and rigidity are de structive to life, for the essential character of life consists in an uninterrupted and free activity of all the organs." No Waste ofVltal Powers. And again, "the powen of the body should be more concentrated and kept to gether; there should be no waste of vital or physical powers."
