"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

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.

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

Gnished their tour, still tenderfootcd and

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. '

A New Trial Granted.
Judge Slagle yesterday handed down an
opinion granting a hew trial in the divorce
case of Henrietta Flach against Andrew
Flach. 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. She alleges that she
came from Austria and married the defend
ant, who represented that he was single and
competent to marry. She afterward dis
covered that he had another wire and now
asks for $10,000 damages. . .

fwaiTTES TOB THE DISPATCH. 1
It is often said that 'no kind of sense is so
rare as common sense, and this is true, sim
ply because common seuse'is attainable by
all far more, and1 is a natural gift far less,
than most other traits of character. 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. To call aloud for
a good thing is good, as 'far as it goes, but
to provide it is better. Surely no one can say j

'that JIr. Russell does not provide thii
good thing! To listen to her intelligent ex
position of the laws governing the hnmaa
structure is a revelation.
"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."
Surely these are philosophical and logical
statements, and therefore' commend them
selves .to our judgment! Are they not
sufficient allurements to invite men
and women to enter the portals of
Delsarte, and. to tarry within until the rnde
has been softened by a combination with the
refined, and all harsher features thrown into
the shade, nntil the human form has been
ennoble'd and raised to artistic perfection?
If Pittsburg does not sufficiently appre
ciate the importance of such teachings, if
she does notavailherself of this and every
opportunity of' hearing so charming, so
cultured, so perfect an exponent of le Grand
Delsarte' as Mrs. Edmund Bassell then
alas! for Pittsburg.
