H‘gh Carnival.

They Are Great GaanleI-s and Put
Up Their Last Cent on Racesot
Various Kinds—Their Dance:

Are Sad Shows.

 

This has been a “fandungo” week
among the Piutes on the Indian reser-
vation about Pyramid lakein‘Nevada.
The tide of prosperity which has swept

‘ the country seems to have reached the

Piute Indian, and he is celebrating its
advent, or return, and declares he is do-

time. »

For weeks past, says the Chicago
Journal, the redskins of the plains have
been making elaborate preparations for
and looking forward to the great “In-
dian state fair,” as they now call it, or

heretofore known. Just beyond the
post trader’s store, outside and to the
north of the agency grounds, in about
the deepest sand that could be found in
the vicinity, the Piut-es put up their
teepees, wickiups, and temporary abid-
ing places of all kinds and descriptions,
and on Saturday declared the “fair"
open.

The Piute “400,” together with about
2,000 other ordinary, more or less dirty,
rather good-for-nothing, altogether
lazy Indians, were on hand and con-
spicuously in evidence almost contin-
ually throughout the week. It was
probably the largest gathering and
most extensive demonstration the
Piutes have had since their last war, in
1860-61, when Maj. Ormsby, Capt. Storey
and Lieut. Meredith were defeated and
killed near thepscene of the present
fandango. ,

The festivities of the week consisted
principally of horse races, baseball and
football games, dances, numerous
games of chance, contests in feats of
strength, and other games and contests

strictly Piutian in character, like
“Piute poker” and “Nyuque,” or the
“stick game,” as some call it. The
usual programme was about as follows:
Commencing early in the forenoon, a-
horse race or ball game; during the aft-
ernoon another; thrOughout the day
and until the dance starts at night,
numerous and diversified games of
chance, in which parties Of all squaws,
all bucks, or a congregation of both.
take part,, on which they wager any-
thing and sometimes everything they
have, and around which large crowds
gather to watch the sport; between
eight and nine. o’clock at night the
dances start and continue usually until
daylight, all other games being for the
time suspended.

If one comes to Pyramid lake to
learn from the Indians that state fairs
or horse races may be successfully con-
ducted without the evil of the betting
ring, he will be most woefully disap-
pointed. The Piute is, above everything
else, a natural born gambler. The In-
dians have no regular bookmaker or
pool-seller, and no “touts” to assist in
robbing the public. but every Piute has
his choice and he backs it. and backs it
high. .

The races themselves are grotesque.
They have no high-salaried judges ..to
draw fine distinctions in favor of the
masters of the track. The whole crowd
of Piutes decides who has won, and
they make no mistakes. \

The other games in vogue among the
Piutes, while nearly all betting games,
are of the simplest character: “Piute
poker,” the favorite game with both
buck and squaw, is more like a simpli-
fication of casino than any other Amer-
ican game. Yet on aggregate of a large
sum of money changes hands on this
game every month. “Stick,” or
“nyuque,” as the Indians call it. has a.
strong resemblance to the children’s
game of “button, button, who’s got the
button ?” with an unearthly accom-
paniment of yells, howls and beating of
sticks. ‘ '

Though they usually dance all night,
they have but two dances. One is the
“Que-que” dance, which is supposed to
be a celebration Of the annual run of the
que-que fish, large numbers of which
are caught daily at this time of the
year in the Trukee river and in Pyra-
mid lake. In its performance as many
as wish to~sometimes 200 or"\_300 In-
dians—form in a circle, "sho'ul er ‘to
shoulder, and to the time of a dolefui
chant, sung by a number of the partici—
pators in the dance, all move sideways,
the entire circle moving in the direction
the hands of a clock move. The pace
accelerates until at .a signal, which
sounds like the twittering of a tree frog
and which is passed around the circle,
all commence to hop sidewise, dragging
their feet through the sand. This time
seems to have an acceleration mark
over it, and continues apparently until
they get tired, when'a few minutes'
rest is taken, after which the dance'is
repeated and repeated again

 

times for hours. -‘

JUDGE. JAMES TARVIN.
Boomed for Brynn’d Running- plate

( Judge James P. Turvin, who has been
boomed as W. J. Bryan‘s running mate
in 1900 during the convention of the
Ohio Valley League of Bimetallic Clubs
at Louisville, Ky., is a resident of Cov-
ington, Ky., and a. native of that city, a
member of a. family prominent for
years in Kenton county politics. He
has'represented Covington in the state
legislature. At the democratic state
convention in 1898 he was named for

elector for that state at large and made
an active canvass. In November, 1897,
he was elected circuit judge of the Six-
teenth judicial district, which embraces
the county of Kenton. His administra-
tion as circuit judge has been notable
for his warfare on trusts, one feature
of which was the breaking up of the in-
surance agents’ combine at Covington.
Last year he gained much newspaper
i notoriety by putting the entire Coving-
ton council in jail for contempt in re-
fusing to make an appropriation to fur-
nish the courtroom. A year ago he was
elect-ed president of the Ohio Valley
Bimetallic league at Indianapolis, and
5 he has since been active in the cause of
i free silver. Since his connection with
i the organization several strong demo-
cratic clubs at'Covington have been
putting him forward as a vice presiden—
; tial candidate. "He is about 40 years old,
a strong and caustic speaker and a free
silver enthusiast. When asked for an
; expression on his candidacy Judge
y Tarvin said: “I am not seeking the of-
fice, and will make no effort to secure it.
g I am for Bryan first and always. If the
convention should see fit to do me the
honor to give me the nomination I shall
accept it. My friends have already be-
gun to work for the nomination.”

:Spain’s New; Minister to the United

Don Jose Brunetti y Gayoso, duke of
Arcos, the new Spanish minister to the
United States, is peculiarly pleasing to
,. the Washington government» for more
reasons than one. He is known to the.
diplomatic-crowd and to Washington?
society in g’cncral. Then, too, the duch-
ess, his wife, is the-daughter of the
late Judge VVoodbury Lowery, of VVash~
‘ ington. She was Miss Virginia Lowery,

and in former days Admiral Dewey was
3 a suitor for her hand, but the Span-
,eiard won the lady, and the future hero
gof Manila was forced to retire. This

was perhaps the greatest prize a Span;
iard ever took from an American. Judge
Lowery refused his consent to the wed-
ding until Brunetti sumeeded his late
uncle to the title and estates of Areas.
The duke isnow 55, and there is no
bluer blood in all Spain than that
which flows in his veins. Away back
in the days of the Moors one of Arcos‘
ancestors was given the city of Cadiz
for his gallant services against the
Saracens. . The present minister has
, had a long and successful career in the
diplomatic service of Spain, and wears
decorations of the orders of Carlos 111.,
Isabella the Catholic 5nd the Turleish
Mejidie. The Spanish.minister is per-
haps the Only Roman catholic in Amer-
ica who is permitted to eat flesh meat
on Friday. Centuries ago the church
exempted his'ancestors from fasting on
Friday, and as the right is hereditary
the" present Duke d'Arcos enjoys it.

 

Havana Editor’s \Vocs -
The proprietor of the Times of Cuba
finds that all is not smooth sailing in'
conducting an American newspaper in
Havana. For having questioned the
honestyof his business manager the
publisher has been summoned before
a court presided 'over by a Filipino
judge, who holds his commission from
the king of Spain; and the court has
ruled that he must pay 2,500 pesetas or
go to jail. The defense says that. he
will probably have to go to. prison to
await trial, in which case he will edit

the paper, from Havana’s city jail.

A few years ago the newspapers of
this country were circulating a story
that. a club of distinguished Boston
gentlemen had conspired together for
the public good, and put forth 'all sorts
of beneficial utterances underthe com-
mon pseudonym of Edward'Atkinson.
It was inconceivable to peopleliving at
a distance from'Boston that such ex-
haustive information on so many di-
verse subjects could emanate from any
one" man. Mr. Atkinson is an expert
on everything from political to domes-
tic economy, and yet he is not a man
of leisure, but has been an active busi-
ness man for over 50 years. He was a.
stanch abolitionist before the war, and
therefore particularly values the de-
gree of LL. D.‘, which the state universi-
ty of South Carolina conferred upon
him.. ’ ' '

Dr. Atkinson, as he.may properly be
called, is 72 years Old, and, though his
hair and beard are snowy white, his
decisive utterance and vigorous man-
ner suggest that he is scarcely above
50. At his comfortable homein Brook-
line he lives the quiet life of a gentle-
man and a scholar, surrounded .by a
large family and a larger circle of ac-
quaintances.

He was born in Brookline, and on his

triot minute man, Lieut. Amos Atkin-
son. On the maternaLside he descends
from Stephen Greenleaf, who was fa-
mous in the latter part of the seven-
teenth century for his defense of the
colonists against the Indians.

(Vice President of the American Anti—1m"-

he has been president of the Boston
’Manufacturers’ Mutual Fire Insurance
company, a position which he still
holds. His preparation for business
was much more extensive than his
preparation for letters, as he left school
at the age of 15 to go into a commission
house, where he served an exacting ap-
prenticeship of five years. The great
'care in details, the perfect System and
elaborate organization methods which
Mr. Atkinson acquired in his business
‘career, furnish an explanation of his
wonderful versatility. v "

Among. the topics on which Mr. At—
kinson has written are banks, Wages,
fires, capital, labor, taxation, currency,
history, nutrition and free trade. He
was appointed by President Cleveland
in 1887 special commissioner to report
on the state of bimetallism in Europe,
and his report has become an impor<
taut book of reference. He is one of
the founders of the Massachusetts In--
stitute of Technology, and one of the
organizers of the New, England Emi-
grant Aid society. He is an honorary
member of the Phi Beta Kappa, of
Harvard college, a member .of the
American Academy of Arts and Sci-
ences, fellow of the American Asso-
ciation for “the Advancement of Sci-
ence, a member of the American Sta-
tistical association, of the International
Statistical institute, of the Cobden club,
of Great Britain; of the Unitarian club,
of Boston: of the Examiner club, and
of many other organizations. But,
above all, Dr. Atkinson is the inventor
of a famous oven. When asked what
recognition he desired in return for his

have said: “Only an epitaph on my
monument: ‘He taught the American
people how to stew.’ ”

 

'Callfornln Celery Garden;

At Santa Ana, Cal., there is a celery
garden of 500 acres. It belongs to a
commission house in Kansas City, and
is on leased ground. The location was
a peat swamp three years .ago. but
the lessees drained it and proved that
it was particularly adapted to the cul-
tivation of celery. Last year they
shipped 500 car loads of celery to New
York frOm this one tract alone. and it
matures so early in the spring that it
makes a very profitable crop.
