14 THE SOUANTON TRIBUNE- SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 29, . 1807. The- Straege People Who ' fahaMt Find Pyramids The Story of a primitive Race of Men Liv ing in a Valley of the New flexico Rockies. WrltlnB In the Times-Herald Fred Hcnzlnger soya: pyramids lrt the United States? Yes. two of them. They are built of mud and Inhabited. One 'has six etorles and the other Ave, nnd both have many rooms. The in habitants have two names, two re ligions and two languages. They are Christians and pagans ot the same time Catholics and sun worshippers. They have one church above ground nnd sevoral worshipping places below ground. They nre citizens of the United States, but neither vote nor pay taxes. They have a republic o their own and never carry their Inter nal disputes outside their own primi tive court. They owned their little domain of six miles square long be fore the United States camo Into exist ence, and they lease farms to the de scondents of haughty lSuropermo, They nro the real HrFt families of the country, for their forefathers were liv ing In theso tramo pyramids when civilization discovered them 250 years ago. They aro aborigines but far mers. They are scml-clvlllzed, but they punish with the stocks and the whipping post, and until recently Htoned witches to death. In many things this ifiwarlcaible people reverses the white man's or der. The children trace their de scent through tho mother Instead of the father. Tho wife owns the house and all Its contents. Fires for baking aro built In tho oven In stead of under It. In tho fireplaces the wood Is burned standing on end. Tho peoplo go Into their houses through tho roofs, pulllnp up behind them the ladder used In mounting tho building, thus very nearly accom plishing the feat of going into a hole and pulling It In after them. Tho pyramids of the American Egypt are tucked away In a little val ley among the Rocky Mountains of .northern Now Mexico. A few years ago they were 1,000 miles from, a railroad. Today one can get within thlrty-llvo miles of them by rail by go ing north from, Santa Fo to Ernbudo, but after that the rugged canon of the Rio Grande del Norte and brown, waterless. Interminable mesas make the approach a trying Journey of dust, Jolts and weariness. JUAN MIRABAL-. Fortunate is tho visitor who has Juan Mlrabal for a host, Juan has acquired a fair grasp of English, much of It by painstaking inquiry of white visitors and neighbors. Ho has lo3t mpst of thaitl reserve so common among tho Indians, which bailies the investigator by a, real or assumed misunderstanding of his wants, and he talks frankly of his people and their peculiarities. Ho will even go so far as to put tho sounds of their songs Into English letters, though the effort is slow and painful. Juan and his father, for they live together, have a good farm and aro well to do. Juan's four fine guns aro evident of that. The Mlrabal home Is of mud with a dirt lloor, but It has several rooms with white-washed walls and boasts of somo comforts of the white man. There Is an American bedstead with b hoots and covers, but It seems to bo too precious for use even for the or dinary guest. Tho members of the family have raised 'platforms for sleep ing places and skins and blankets for cover. The visitor with experience of life In remote New Mexico and fair ly reasonable will have little cause for complaint, however, for Juan has In reserve for him an Amerlcan-mado cot with a springy bed and plenty of red blankets. Neither Juan's pretty wlfo nor his fathdror mother nor his white-haired grandmother rounding her first century and still ngllo enough to climb the ladders has any knowledge of English, but they are proud to entertain American visitors and their faces beam with friendly hospitality. The cooking is done over a fire built on tho dirt floor In ono corner of a blc room, which has a bed of skins In another corner, perhaps a pile of wheat in a third and openings to other rooms In the fourth, and a ladder to the roof intrance. Holes a foot square in tho walls near the ceilings give the smoke vent and ad mit nlr, but there are no windows to admit light, and all tho sunshine these queer abodes get is what little can squeeze Its way through the roof holes. But Jjsan Is rising above his surroundings, and In the room with the .preolouB bed aro an American table and several ohalrs. Sheep are plenty and cheap In the southwest, and sheep's meat is the staple food meat. There Is so little discrimination In selection that it seldom rises to the dignity of being mutton. SIMPLE FARE. But Juan does better than many of tho -white Inhabitants In honor of his guest, for he sets before tho visitor butter and cakes brought from tho nearest town, and his wlfo brews an excellent cup of coffee. To these aro added sugar -Imported by wagon over tho mountains and home-made bread or tortillas baked In tho strange ovens out of doors. The oven resembles an overturned bushel basket with a whole In one side, and It Is made of mud. A fire Is built inside until tho mud floor la thoroughly heated, when the flte Is raked out, tho lloor mopped clean and tho big disks of dough ehoved In on wooden paddles to bako by the heat radiated from the bottom, and sides of the oven. Barring an absence of salt, tho bread is good, and the meal set forth by Juan for his guest In luxury compared with the faro ono will get from many of the whites similarly isolated. .The American pyramids aro known as El Pueblo do Taos. It is the north ernmost settlement of that strange race which has left tho American Egypt strewn with tho ruins of an cient cities. Its people, according to tho best authorities, aro descendants of tho cliff dwellers, and the pyramidal form of their community houses was another device to protect themselves from their hereditary enemies, the Apaches, the Navajoes and the Utcs. A captain under Coronado, who came up from Mexico in search of the fab led seven cities of Cibola, whoso people eto from, golden dishes, discovered those pyramids in 1510, and they stand today Just ns ho described them, though one-story dwellings have sprung up about tho foot of tho pyra mids slnco the American occupation assured peace. Th.e larger building lM ninety-seven rooms and the small- or seventy-two. The. Inhabitants num ber about 400 Tha walls of these community houses aro mado of mud bricks dried In tho sun. The front wall of tho second story was built back from the front; of tho tlrst story, mnklng a broad terrace. Tho succeeding stories were constructed in similar manner, and as all four sides of the building were terraced the structure became a pyramid. Tho roofs were formed by laying eappllngs across the walls and covering them with mud. Until recently there were neither doors nor windows In any of tho walls, and even now there are very few. The people climb up to tho outside on rude ladders, which, may be pulled up af ter thorn If danager threatens, and they enter their homes through holes In tho roofs. Many of the dark looms near tho center of tho pyra mids aro In decay, nnd others nre used for storing grain. Some of tho living-rooms aro whitewashed. Fire places aro made by constructing a mud hood across a corner with a mud Hue running to the roof, and plnyon and cedcr brought from the mountains aro burned standing on end In the cor ner. The broad terraces are the play ground of tho children and the loung ing place of tho "old folks." When discovered by tho Spanish conqulstadores theso peoplo were not only peaceful farmers, but they wore cotton clothing brought from their couslna In the warmer lowlands far ther south, as well as the sklno ot wild animals. Today the men wear In sum mer cotton leggings held up by a string about the lions and a print shirt falling loosely outsldo the leg gings. In cold weather they add moc casins and blankets. The women wear a skirt of colored cotton, and the waist Is a piece of cloth wound around under the left arm. For gala attire they have gayly flowered clothing with a silk shawl for tho head and white buckskin mocoaslons with leggings wrapped about the legia until they are nearly as big as stove pipes. TWO RELIGIONS. The good paders who came Into tho wonderland of tho southwest with tho Spanish explorers and conquerors grafted the Christian faith on the pa gan religion, and the world is pre sented with tho strange spectacle of a Pieople with two rellglonr, both carefully observed and held In rever ence. There Is a little Catholic church In which faithful priests have taught Christian doctrines for many genera tions and brought the simple natives to such an understanding that they resent nny ln'ttrference wlth their Christian rites. At the same time they continue their pagan ceremonies in se cretexcept their" nnnual sun dance. They, have several covered holes In tho ground, each perhap3 twenty-five feet in diameter and fifteen feet deep. They aro known' as estufas. Here tho pagan priests perform the mystic rites of their sun worship, and no white man is permitted to witness them. These peoplo also have organ izations corresponding to tho secret societies of civilized communities, whose members meet and louniro In tho estufas, and women aro seldom or never allowed to enter them. The entrance to these places is by a ladder through the roof. A hollow in the middle of the lloor serves for a fire place. At the bottom of the wall en ter small shafts, which permit cold air to come in from the outside. The heated air from the fire files out at tho opening above, and thus thl3 primi tive people solved tho problem of ven tilation centuries before civilized man groped his way out of tho darkness of anltary error. Tho feather Is, a symbol of prayer with the pyramid dwellers. They tie the downy feather of an eagle to a twig, stick it in the ground In an out of the way place where it Is not likely to be disturbed and so long as it remains there It is a prayer constantly going up to the Trues above. THANKSGIVING DAY OF THE SUN. The event of the year In the pagan religion is the thanksgiving day of the sun worshippers. Th Christian priests have Inaugurated the day with a service at tho church and they have stamped the fiesta with the name of the Catholic saint selected by their forerunners as the patron saint of the community. Tho fiesta is therefore known as San Geronlmo (Saint Jer ome) Day, and the images from tho pagan pdrformiainces. from ai bower. All but the church service is a su vlval of the pagan era. Offerings of sheep, grain and fruits are hung up on a polo In thanksgiving to the sun for warm weather and good crops, and the sun father is pretty sure to be smiling on his wor shippers. There is a queer sun dance, In which the naked men, with bo dies painted and decked with feathers, chant praises to tho sun. Then fol lows a race between the young men, lasting perhaps two hours, In which tho contestants run back and forth In relays. After dinner tho chlfonetls, priests of the sun, with bodies striped In black and white, like zebras, amuse tho peoplo with such buffoonery ns may be suggested by the occasion, much the same as the clown of a cir cus, making faces, cracking Jokes and making elaborate attempts at various feats, only to fall. This is tho one occasion of the year when Apaches, Utes and Navajoes aro permitted to pitch camp on the reservation, and somo of these wild tribes are sure to bo present to get a share of the good things given away. The antipathy to the Mexicans Is forgotten, and Ameri cans aro prized as guests of honor. STRANGE CUSTOMS. The subject races early learned the Spanish language from their con querors, and for 200 years or more It has been the common tongue of the southwestern peoples speaking various languages. Even Americans In many parts of the southwest are forced to learn it in order to facilitate their affairs. The work of tho Catholic church and the tenacity of the Mexi cans have kept! tho Castllllan pre dominant oven under American rule. The pyramid dwellers, therefore, learn Spanish for communication with the outside world and retain their own ancient tongue for home life. Few of them, know any English. Every new born babe is baptized by the Catholic pret and christened with a Spanish name, except In a few cases In which French priests, who have been brought in by the pres ent archbishop, havo given French names. But the pagan shnman also christens tho babe. Facing the cast In tho morning twilight, he awaits tho moment when tho sun shall peep over tho Taos Mountains, towering 13,000 feet nbovo the sea, when he be stows on tho infant a natlvo namo by which ho is known among his Inti mates. Theso people nro divided Into clans designated as eagle, corn, etc., and members of the samo clan are not permitted to lnter-marry. The Holds nnd tho products of tho chase belong to the husband. Tho house nnd iho children belong to tho wife. Tho crops airei the husband's un,tll they are housed, when they become the wife's. She grinds tho corn and wheat between Btones, and this rude mill is known ns a mctate. CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES. Tho courts havo decided that the pyramid dwellers are citizens of the Unltod States under tho treaty ot Hidalgo Guadalupe, by which the southwest was acquired from Mexico, but they do not want to bo citizens and the government lias scarcely treated them as such. The grant of six square miles of the fertile, well watered valley of Taos made by the Spaniards more than a hundred years ago lia 'been confirmed by Uncle Sam, und tho people support themselves by farming. They do much of their plowing with, sticks dragged through the soft soil by ponies. The chief crops arc corn and wheat. Tho wheat Is trashed, as In biblical times, by ponies tramping out the grain. It Is winnowed by throwing It Into the air with a pitch fork on a windy day. The grain Is then separated from the heavier straw by running it through a sieve made of sheep skin punched full of holes and stretched on a wooden frame. In this process considerable dirt in the creases of the kernals, and the wheat has to be washed to be cleaned, though many persons think that too finicky. Many yearn ago the peoplo of the pyramids Invited some Mexican neigh bors to become their allies against the roving Indian enemies. The Mexicans were given a corner of the grant on condition that they should' keep twelve blunderbuse.- and help tho natives when attacked. These abori gines proved themselves a bravo race in several rebellions against the Span ish yoke. "When tho Mexicans arose In 1818 and mtassacired a number of Americans they dragged the natives Into tho affair, claiming that under the old treaty the red men of the pyramids were obllgied to help tine Mexicans fight their enemies, but since then thpso nlborlglnes havo given Uncle Sam no trouble. Within the mud walls which once inclosed their buildings aro tho ruins of a big church to constantly remind them of thel sad experience In that contest. When tho Mexicans fled before an American force and took to the moun tains the natives ook refuge in their church, whero they expected their Christian God to protect them from harm. The thick mud walls withstood tho bombarding of small cannon un til the Americans, under cover of night, dug partly through tho walls, when the cannon, easily made breaches. The .dried rafters were also flred, and many of the people per ished. METHOD OF GOVERNMENT. The married mem of the pyramid community elect a set of officers once a year. There are a governor, a lieu tenant governor, an alcalde, a war captain and several assistants. The Inauguration! takes placo on New Tear's Day In the church. The old ofllcers gather on one side of the room atid the now ofllcers on the other. They march In single file toward the altar, and, as they meet, the old gob- ernador passes to his successor a silver-headed ebony cane, presented to the pueblo by Abraham Lincoln In 18C3. Common wands are transferred by tho other retiring ofllcers. The new ofllcers generally Insist also on taking an oath before tho county Judge, al though he has no authority In the matter. Tho natives imagine that their action Is ratified thereby by tho government of tho United States. They also have a cacique, who Is here ditary, and holds his position for life. He Is the head of tho system of pagan religion, while the governor Is the head of civil affairs, but so great Is the reverence of the people for the cacique that In any controversy his will Is practically law as against the rule of the gobernador. The pyramid ask no help of Uncle Sam, and he docs not interfere in their internal affairs. They havo aculred a community title to their farms and transfer these among themselves. They have gone Into civilized courts only once or twice, and then because whites encroached on their lands. They lease somo of their land to Mexl enn neighbors at the rate of Jl for as much ns can be seeded with a fanega of grain. A fanega of wheat Is about two bushels, and It will seed about two acres, making the rent 60 cents an acre. An authority has said that nowhere else on earth has the aborigines built many-storied homes, and these two pyramids ore tha only ones of their kind remaining In the Egypt of America. GREATER NEW YORK EXPENSES. Cost of New Municipality Compared with llxpcndlturui oi London, From the Sun. The municipal expenditures of Lon don, the largest city In tho world, amount to about $80,000,000 yearly, thus divided, roughly, among the various Items: "Water service, $10,000,000; po lice department, $10,000,000; public char ities, $12,GOO,000; schools, $10,000,000; health department, $3,600,000; flro de partment, $1,000,000; department of streets, $10,000,000; gas, $3,000,000; Inter est on municipal debt, $5,000,000, and miscellaneous expenses, tho balance, $1C,000,000. Paris, with about one-half tho total population of the city of Lon don, spends In a year $75,000,000, or con siderably more per capita. The ques tion has been asked how the expenses of the Greater New York are likely to cotnpaie with those of London and Paris. The present population of London Is, roughly, 5,500,000, and the population of the Greater New York Is, roughly, 3, 300,000, the relutlon ot the two cities to each other In respect of population be ing as five to three. The population of Paris Is 2,500,000. The total expenses ot the city of New York In a year amount, approximately, to $47,000,000. Those of the city of Brooklyn amount, approx imately, to $13,000,000. The expenses of Long Island City are about $GOO,000 a year, of Richmond county, $300,000, and of tho Queens county towns nnnexed to the Greater New York $150,000, making a total of $61,250,000 for tho whole ot tho territory to be Included, on January 1, 1808, In the Greater New York. This Is a larger ratio of municipal expenditure to the population than prevails In Lon don, but a smaller ono than Is the rule In Paris. The police department of New York city costs $0,000,000 a year, and the police department In Brooklyn, $2,300,000. nnd the total cost of tho po lice In tho Greater New York will be about $9,500,000 a year, or nearly as much ns that of tho city of London. The street nnd water services are Joined In this city instead of being separated, as Is the case In London. The expenses of the department of public works In New York are $3,500,000 and those of the department of city works, which cor responds to it in Brooklyn, $2,100,000, and when to this the expense of the department of street Improvements In the future borough of Bronx, $630,000, Is added there Is a total In excess of $6,000,000 In the whole territory for these Items. The expense of tho fire depart ment In New York Is $2,300,000. In Brooklyn It Is $1,300,000, and In all of the Greater New York It Is, substan tially, $3,500,000. The item of interest on that public debt amounts In New York to $5,500,000, and in Brooklyn to $3,300,000, and in the other localities in cluded In the Greater New York to $200,000, a total of about $9,000,000, or about twice that of London. The ex penditure for charitable purposes In New York city this year is $2,000,000, nnd In Brooklyn about $100,000. Tho item of education appears to the extent of $6,000,000 in the budget of New York city, and to the extent of $2,700,000 In the budget of Brooklyn, Irrespective ot the contributions of these two cities and of the other districts of the Great er New York to the state educational fund, which brings up the total amount to $10,000,000. Long Island City ex pends $115,000 a year for educational put poses. CRIME IN LITERATURE. X Now Complaint nt Ono of tho Tendencies of the Times. An article In tho WestnMnster Re view deals with "Crime In Current Literature," the anonymous author asserting that "never were there ho many pens engaged In dealing with crime and criminals as at tho present time; the few, seriously and solemnly; the many, lightly and Irreverently, and unwitting of the moral mischief they thereby engender." Ho refers especial ly to the fondness for "detective sto ries," most of which, he finds, are writ ten by individuals who have not and never had tho remotest connection with the police." On this head the writer furnishes the following statistics: ' I want to put an ' ad ' on your drop cnrialn." " AH right. Shall we have the scene painter do it ? " " No; I'll get a sign painter. I want something pretty good." From Lifts. Coavrlclit. 3 807. by Mitchell & Miller, Tho number of newspapers, strictly so called, published weekly In Great Britain and containing serial stories of one kind or another, Is nearly 800. Of these, 592 aro published In England and Wales, 113 In Scotland, and 80 In Ireland. Out ot this total It has been ascertained that In the year 1893 no fewer than 240 published complete, or portions of detective stories atorlca ot nil phases and forms ot criminality, de scribing tho details thereof with great er or less degrees of minuteness; hero making the criminal a sort of Claude Duval, or highway hero worthy of em ulation, and there rightly branding htm as an iniquitous scoundrel, fit only for tho clutch of Jack Ketch, but al most Invariably depleting the lildeous ness of crime as it certainly ought not to bo depicted. Many such weekly newspapers as are published In popu lous centers have long ago recognized the Importance of this factor In help ing to Increase their circulation, and they can not bo blamed for It. But It. Is- a somewhat remarkable fact, which the Inquiry Into this phase of tho subject has made evident, that In newspapers of the class Indicated which aro published In Ireland the gen eral character .of tho serial stories was, and like enough still Is, much above that of the stork'9 published In tho same place In English or Scottish newspapers. On an average, there are fewer by far that make the same lit erary speciality, In s-tory or "experi ence" form, of the subject of crime and its detection. In the light of the past, or even of present, events In Ire land, tills evidence may be taken for what it Is worth; but it Is none the less a significant fact desetvlng" of a little consideration by those whom it happen to concern. Our Own Steve Crnno. From tho Clitrago News. A wild flame burst forth and reached in famished writhlngs toward tho sullen heavens. Sulphurous poisons arose In silent, suf focating palls. A fateful glare of ochro tlnt light flashed. Blinding, sickening, vaguo terrors diinced In frenzied rhythm with tho weird diablerie ot tho flames garish, ghastly lire flared In lltful blaze low, passioned murinurlngs resounded In ceaseless thrumming und bluo flames, thrashing wild In wrathful agonies, sung In chorused, crimsoned harmonies u tuneful deathsong. Wild cries rang out; white figures ran Into the night and the mallgant, pursu ing blnzo, reaching out hungrily, crackled and roared, shrieked und hissed aloud In ferocious glee. "Ah, me," said tho man. But Just then a three-Inch stream ot Icy w.iter from a seventoen-hore-power en gine of tho crack flro department com pany lifted him across tho street and If ft him frozen against the fence, with h wild yell chasing up und down his t hi oat. 7 0rtAiy 0-3fc-Q-tb.G Is there anything more wholesome. more beautiful, more completely pleasing than a womanly woman ? Such a woman is even tempered, intelligent, strong and healthy. Health really tells th whole story. Health means strong nerves and strong body, and they go far toward bringing good looks and amiability. A woman worn and wearied by the dragging weaknesses peculiar to her sex, cannot be expected to find zest in any duty or amusement. Life is all one dead monotonous gloom to her. On her face is written the storv of weakness and uain. ine wiioiesomencss ot lieaitu is lacKinp The cheeks lack fullness, the eyes lac! , . . - ........ . t sparkle, the hair lacks luster. Doctors have learned to locate nine tenths of womanly sickness in the orgai i that ought above all others to be strong and healthy. Sensitive women shudder at the thought of consulting a physician on such matters. A natural feeling of mod esty makes them dread the examination, and subsequent stereotyped treatment by "local application1? " on which most doctors insist. JIuch more often than not, this is un necessary. It should not be submitted to except as a last resort. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has cured thousands of severe cases of "fe male weakness." It works in a natural, sensible way. It begins by subduing the inflammation that is always present. Then it strengthens and invigorates the whole body, particularly the organs dis tinctly feminine. It promotes regularity, cures inflammation and ulceration, and stops the 'debilitating drain caused by them. Of all dealers.
