THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 1891.

It will not do to predict the election of 1SJ2 on the returns of November li'.0. The Democrats arv crowing on r the result in Kansas, lor instance. Well, low, if they stop to think, it will be made clear to tht-ui that Kama is ntil 1 a Republican 8tate. The people of that State get restless sometimes ami go astray from the partv fold bnt soon return. Why, only a few years ago the Democrats elected the Governor in Kansas and predictions were freely made that a Democratic entering-wedge had been ellected, and that the Democrats would increase their hold on the State at the next election. Bnt it was just the other w.iy. The Republicans carried everything before them and that is what we'll do in tb'.U. The Democrats had nothing to do with the result in Kansas in November. It was the Farmers' Alliance party that received the bnlk of the Republican vote." Mr. Faoitou expressed the opinion that it was possible for Ingalls tosncceedbimself in the Senate, and that it would be man; a year before Kansas wonld send a Simonpure Democrat to the Senate. ABSENT SENATORS CALLED HACK. Urged to Return to Their Da ties at Once Crisis Expected This Week. PpecisJ to tbe Is dlsv spoils Journal. Washington, Jan. 4. TIJere Is donbt whether the efforts of the Republican Senators to oecure a quorum of their party in the Senate this week will prove a success, notwithstanding the fact that Senator Ingalls' has been summoned here, and an imperative telegram has also been forwarded to Senator Jones, of Nevada. Until Mr. MeConnell, of Idaho, has been sworn in the Republicans have only fifty Senators, and forty-four Is necessary for a quorum. At present it looks as if there wonld be eight absentees this week.. Following are the absent ones: Senator Petti grew, of South Dakota, wbode brother has just died; Moody, of North Dakota, who is looking after his fences; Pierce, of North Dakota, who is working for re-election; Paddock, of Nebraska, at home on important business; Jones, of Nevada, at home; FarweSl. of Illinois, in Chicago, looking after re-election; Squire, of Washington, who is interested in eecuringnis return to the Senate and is now in his far-otf State, and Blair, of New Hampshire, who is on record as favoring closure, bat who is trying to break the record with a third term from his State, There are other absentees, bnt they are all likely to ie here except those mentioned. In preparation for the expected fight, notice has been sent out to Republican Senators that in making pairs with absent Democrats it ninst be stipulated that no pairs will hold where the vote of a Senator is needed to make up a quorum. Senator Casey, of North Dakota, has been put in charge of senatorial pairs. A caucus of Republican Senators is to be held probably Monday evening and it is confidently expected by most of the Republican Senators that, as a result of it before the week expires a crisis will have been reached with respect to the elections bill, and the Senate will have arrived at a clear understanding of what course is to be pursued for the remainder of the session. The lines of battle are narrowing and there is a gathering of forces. A part of the campaign, it is believed, will be a series of night sessions, designed to test the etlicacy of the old methods of passing a bill obnoxious to the minority, as well an to seenre the adoption of the new closure rule, if it be decided to press this measure. It is expected, however, that this order will not be made before Tuesday, as a night session Monday would interfere wjth the desired caucus. CLEVELAND AND THE PRESS.

The Ex-Presldents Hatred of Reporters Recm lied by Ills joining Addrens at Chicago. 8i-ctal to the Indianapolis Journal. -WaRHlNGTOX. Jan. 4. To-day's Herald, the leading Democratic newspaper of this city, and which is familiar with the subject, gives prominence to this: Ex-Presi-dent Cleveland is going to deliver a lecture shortly before the Chicago Press Club. . He should tafce for his subject, 'Newspaper Men I have Snubbed.' This would be a very large topic." Newspaper men everywhere, and especially those' in Washington, readily recall the uniform rudeness of President Cleveland to all members of the profession at the White House and elsewhere from March. 1885, to March, 1BS9; his declaration that newspaper men were natural liars, and his famous denunciation of the profession at the New England dinner, when be nsed the famous term, "ghoullab gleo." In view of his nnbroken record of hatred for newspaper men in general, and a lack of a fleet ion for any in particular, it cannot bo understood among the Democratic representatives of the press in Washington why any of their brethren in any locality should advocate toleration of Cleveland at a press gathering. MINOR MATTERS. Representative Farqohar Confident that the Shipping Rill Will Re Pssed. Special to tie Indianapolis Journal. ' Washington, Jan. 4. Representative Farquhar, of New York, who has charge of the shipping bill, says the measure will come up in the House on Tuesday and be pushed to a vote before Wednesday night. He is now confident it will not be antagonized by the Democrats as a party and that it will pass. "It is quite possible," says Mr. Farquhar, "that we shall not pass the substitute which is now before the House. We may, for the sake of avoiding friction, take the Senate bill and amend it by tanking out it first section and inserting the first section of the substitute. Then we may Adopt the rest of the Senate bill, adding the postal and naval clauses. The bill will not then be as complete and thorough as the substitute, but it will be a good law, and I am willing to predict that within a year live or six seaports of the South will Late bnilt np an ocean trnde with Europe and South Americau ports." The Idaho Senatorshlps. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jau. 4.Owin g to the absence of Senator Hoar, chairman of the committee on privileges and elections, nothing has yet been done in the matter of the three Senators from Idaho, and until the committee makes some report Mr. McConnell cannot be sworn in. It is expected that the committee will meet to-morrow morning, or Tuesday morning at the furthest, when Mr. Mct'onnell's credentials will be accepted, and he will be sworn when the Senate meets. The drawing of terms between Messrs. Shoup and McConnell will immediately follow. The committee is also likely to admit Mr. Dubois, but this prediction is not so certain, and the decision may be delayed some time. Some of the members of the committee are in favor, of letting his case go over to the next Congress for settlement, while others want it disposed of now, in order that, if it is referred back to the Idaho Legislature, the referenre may be made before the Legislature adjourns. Schoon maker 31 a, y lie Reappointed, aped; to tbe Indianapolis Journal Washington, Jan. 4. To-day's Gazette of this city says: "It was said yesterday that the President had determined to appoint Interstate-commerce Commissioner Schooztnaker to fill the vacancy in the board to be created by the expiration of his term of service. The friends of Representative Gear, of Iowa, however, have . not given up yet and say that the case is still open. The Piatt and Miller men iu New ork could not be brought together on any one man for the place, and hence it is not probable that a New Yorker will be selected." It was stated by the Journal correspondent some weeks ago. npon good authority, that CommUsioner Schoonmaker would be reappointed and that a Republican would be appointed to succeed Commissioner Wm. R. Morrison, of Illinois, a Democrat, when his commission expires, Jan. 1 next. That statement holds good yet. A I'rosperoas RepaMle. Washington, Jan. 4. The Bureau of American Republics is in receiot of recent official information from Venezuela which shows that country to be enjoying almost unprecedented prosperity. During the last JUcal year the national revenue derived

from enstotns reached nearly $6,000,000. The national debt has been reduced to$J570.000. and the population in lb'JQ is given as 2.239.000. The total exports wero valued at $18,000,000. the largest ever known, and thw imports amounted to $1IKNJ.0U0, of which 4.fi00,000 came from England and &j,?)U,O0O from the United States. The crops of cohVe and cocoa during the past year were unprecedented, and the prices of both articles were higher than for many years previous, which has added largely to the wealth of the country. General Notes. Pperlal to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 4, To-day's local press annonnces that Mrs. W. W. Dudley will receive as heretofore on Fridays at her residence, 1212 Eighteenth street, and that Mrs. Representative Bynuni will receive on Friday during the season at her home, at 1314 Nineteenth street, northwest, Mrs. S. Fletcher, of Indianapolis, who was the guest of the wife of Secretary Proctor during tbe week, and assisted at her receptions,, will soon be at her home. James P. Voorhees. of Indiana, who has been visiting Detroit and elsewhere in the Northwest. h:s returned here, much improved in health and encouraged by the recent success he has had with his play. Tides." The Bnrean of American Republics ha received advices ol tbe almost total failure of the coffee crop in Java, which is estimated at only about 16 per cent, of former anuual averages. Senator Hearst rested comfortably last night and the greater portion of to-day. There is. however, no material change in hia condition. NOT A PLEASANT HONEYMOON.

A Banker's Son Marries an Actress Almost on Sight and a Day Later Tries to Kill Her. Denver, Col., Jan. 4. The honeymoon of banker Dow's son and Millie Price, the actress, who were married here Friday night, came near ending in a double murder to-night. Dow's father has refused to have anything to do with him or aid him financially. He was to have left here to-morrow morning with the company and several creditors hearing of this had the yenng man arrested Saturday on a charge of obtaining goods under false pretenses. The trial was set for Wednesday, which made it necessary for him to remain behind, bnt .he intended to join his wife and the company at Salt Lake City. To-night the couple retired to their room at the Windsor Hotel about 10 o'clock. Two hours later tbe door was thrown open, and Mrs. Dow rushed down the hall, clad in her night robes, screaming murder at the top of her voice. Several guests hurried into the hall just in time to see the husband emerge from bis room and tire a shot from his revolver at his tieeing wife. Seeing that be bad failed to bit her, be reentered his room and attempted to blow out his brains, but tbe bullet tlew wide of its mark, and be was overpowered before be could make a second attempt. No oue kjows tho cause of the trouble, bnt it was probably over money matters. This couple have beaten the record. They met for the first time on Thursday morning of last week, were married on Friday morning and wero practically divorced on Sunday evening. SAVED BY HER CORSET. Bullets from ft Lover's Pistol Fail in Their Purpose Suicide ot the Yonld-Be Murderer. Los Angeles, CaL, Jan. 4. Frank n. Mandeville stole into tbe rrom of Mrs. Millio Shaw, a diess-maker, living in the Roberts Block, last night. When Mrs. Shaw entered, half an hour later, he fired three shots at her. Had it , not been for her corset Mrs. shaw would have been killed instantly. Two of the balls struck the corset steels and glanced off. The other ball missed her entirely. As soon as tbe shots were fired tbe woman ran down the hall screaming. When policemen arrived Mandeville had locked himself in the room. He wonld not open tbe doer, and the police finally broke it in. As soon as the door gave way Mandeville placed tbe pistol in his mouth and tired, killing himself instantly. The whole affair was evidently premeditated. Mandeville was a representative of the firm of John Allison & Co., advertising agents, of Chicago. Papers found in his pockets show that he had served in the regular United States cavalry. He was about forty-two years of age. Mandeville had been paying attentions to Mrs. Shaw for some time, and was acquainted with her in the East. About a month ago he threatened to shoot her. and she ordered him not to call on her in the future. Last evening was the brat time she had seen him since then. NOTED CONTENT FOR MILLIONS. Tbe Fight Over the Davis Estate in Montana to Be Renewed Hints of Forgery. Bctte. Mont, Jan. 4. A new move, and one that promises to be interesting, is to be made in the tight tor the millions left by tbe late A. J. Davis, of this city. Tbe contesting heirs will attack the will purporting to have been made by the deceased. Attorneys of Helena, representing the interests of Henry A. Root and Marie Cnmmings, heirs of the Davis estate, announce that oit Monday they will petition the court for the appointment of a commissioner to take the testimony of twenty-two witnesses residing at Eldon, la. Tho contestants also announce they propose to go into an exhaustive inquiry relative to the character and reputation of J. C. Conce, the only living witness to tbe making or signing of tbe will alleged to have been executed in A close perusal of the papers tiled implies the conviction on the part of the contestants that the signatures of Job and James Davis signed to the will offered for - probate by John A. Davis were forged. The contestants also propose to investigate the history of tho woman Caroline Burgett, mother of tbe girl known as "Pet" Davis, alleged t bo an illegitimate child of the deceased. Miss Bnrgett married a man named 11. V. SSmith in later years, and disappeared for a longtime. She was subsequently located at Gainesville. Tex., and is thought to be somewhere in tbe Lone Star State now. Tlttslnesa EinbarrsMmrnti. Savaxnait, Ga., Jan. 4. Davis Brothers, music-dealers, assigned yesterday.

He left the place and went to his room above the saloon, and commenced to abuse his mistress. Policeman William Houtchens was called and tried to enter the room to place Simonds under arrest. As he entered tbe door Simonds shot him through the abdomen inllicting perhaps a fatal wound. Simonds then rem rued to the saloon, and, indiscriminately tiring his revolver, drove every one from the place. He then took all th money in the till and faro bank. Sherill Houston was called. As soon as the sheriti appeared on the scene, he was made a target for Simondn'a revolver. The sheriff returned the tire, and wounded the man so that ho died in about an hour.

IRELAND'S TOOK FAKMEKS

TheirCondition Explained by tbeEarlof Zetland and Secretary Balfour, Who Are Willing to Receive and Distrilute Money, Food and Clothing Another Con ference Between Nationalist Leaders. CONDITION OF IRELAND'S POOR. Statement by the Earl of Zetland and Secretary Halfour Where to Send Aid. Dublin. Jan. 4. The Earl of Zetland, Viceroy of Ireland, and Chief Secretary Balfour sign a declaration which has been issued on the condition of the poor in the western part of Ireland. Tbe declaration says: "Poverty is chronic in some districts, and will, if tbe people are not aided, reach a stage of acute distress during the winter and spring. There is neither a residence gentry nor a substantial middle class to give employment, nor are there charitable organizations to aid those who are unable to aid themselves. Out-door relief, except in cases of emergency, cannot legally bo administered except to persons holding over a quarter of au acre of laud. Although none acquainted with the history of the Irish poor law would regard the relaxing of this rule as other than a public calamity, its maintenance undoubtedly limits' the capacity to periods of exceptional distress. The position thus created leaves a part of the social organism siek at all times stricken with a disease from which, without extraneous help, it has no power to rally. "The question is not whether the money ought to be given, but bow it ought to be given, to what class aud for what special purposes. Charity ill-administered injures the recipients everywhere, but is especially injurious in those parts with which we are concerned. Elsewhere the injury may be confined to a class relatively small, but iu the worst portions of tbe congested dis tricts tbe whole community may be affected. All are poor; all can plausibly appeal ior aid, and help recklessly given in response may infect whole townships with the vices aud weaknesses of professional mendicancy. We have spoken of this matter to many priests and others acquainted with the condition of the people. There was not one of them, however keenly they may have felt the sufferings of those anions whom they lived, who did not admit that permanent ill effects followed from much charitable expenditure within their experience. "Regarding the appeals for help,' it is needful to way that tales of distress need nut be taken as authentic becausn they are couched in strong language and seem to come from well-informed quarters. - The desire to stimulate flagging charity has been a fruitful source of exaggeration. We do not know that there is any reason to suppose that in Ireland this tendency is likely to be controlled by long-established habits of severe and disciplined accuracy. It is not easy .adequately to check such statements, even by personal observation, aided by statistics, however accurate. NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE. "In regard to the failure of the potato crop, small occupiers in the WeBt seem at first sight all to live much in the same way. They are lodged in the same cabins, cultivate tbe same kind of holdings and are clothed with the same kind of dress. It would be natural to. conclude that in all places where tbe failure of the crop is the same the distress is the same. But such is not the case. In no district does the bulk of the community live wholly on the potato. Every district has means of livelihood independent of the cultivation of the; potato, such as fishing, labor in England, cottage industries, kelp making and sales of farm stock. The degree of the failure of the potato crop is therefore by itself a misleading guide to the degree of distress existing among the people. Other elements in tbe finding of the position of the people are the amount of their savins' and their debt and credit with local tradesmen. Furthermore, in the organization of any plan of gratuitious assistance caution is necessary in order that it shall not, interfere with the system of railway -tCef works. Several thousands of pounds Weekly are already distributed in the form of wages in the districts most in need. Those setting wages through work ought not to get chanty without it." The conclusions were that charitable aid ought to be confined, first, to families which' are in serious want and which, having no able-bodied person among them, cannot derive benefit from the public relief works;' second, to providing means in tbe schools for children attending them; and, third, to supplying clothes for children unable to procure them elsewhere. These forms of assistance are less liable to abuse than others. ; The declaration proceeds to discuss' the requisites for a good attribution of aid among the poor. The authority for such distribntion.it says, should be single; for the vesting of this authority in more than one person would cause confusion as to areas and inequality of resources aud would lead to no rational adjustment between needs and means. The single distributing: anthonty ought to command all available means of information as to the condition of the people throughout the country. The declaration conclnds: "Those who think that we. who can obtain the services of poor law inspectors, school inspectors, relieving officers, resident magistrates, the police and others resident in localities attected and who already are officially responsible for relief works far exceeding anything that charity is likely to effect to those who think that we are better equipped for carrying out this work than persons not having these advantages wo offer to undertake the management of the distribution of any iunds intrusted to us. We believe that money so spent will be well spent. "All assistance in the shape of food or clothing through this channel, or. any other which reaches children and helpless persons, will lighten and remove much immediate suffering without exaggerating chronic evils requiring different and continuous treatment for a permanent cure. Subscriptions and clothing will be received by the Countess of Zetland at the Viceregal Lodge; Miss Hal four, at the Chief Secretary's Lodgn, or by the Viceroy and Mr. Balfour." ANOTHER CONFERENCE. Tarnell Going to lloologne Again McCarthy Will Retire in Favor of O'Brien. Special to the Indianapolis JorunaL London, Jan. 4. Mr. Parnell and his sister. Mrs. Dickinson, came froin Avondale this afternoon, and spent part of the eveniug : e Marije Hotel, Dublin, leaving to-iuci.t. from Kingston, for London. Timothy Harrington follows to-morrow, and on Tuesday Mr. Parnell and Mr. Harrington start for Boulogne, where John Reamond and Mr. Clancy await them. Mr. Parnell has placed himself in the bands of bis friends, and will be guided by the consensus of their advice. Mr. Justin McCarthy, it is stated, has expressed a willingness to retire in favor of Mr. O'Brien. The nnti-Parnellites are very anxious on the subject of the funds, being pinched for resources, even forordinar expenses, while the evicted tenants are allowed to shift as best they niaj- at this trying period of the year. But for this tbe anti-Parnelfites wonld pay little attention to the Boulogne conference aud go right on with their claim to represent the Irish National party. Parnell fully unerstands his advantage, and, it is asserted, will not consent to unlock the funds until an arrangement is arrived at. He is himself apparently well suppplied with money, and bis agent was recently able to lodge i.li',000 in court to await the result of a suit regarding some property. It is stated that Mr. O'Brien's efforts have been chiefly directed to bringing about an understanding that would liberate, for use of the Nationalists the money in Paris and tbe subscriptions in America. Timothy Healy is not willing that any concessions should be made, even with this object. Mr. Healy has independent means, and bis less fortunate colleagues do not agree with him. CRITICISED JY A FRENCHMAN. What lon Say Thinks About the McRlney Law aud the Farmers Alliance. Paris, Jan. 4. Leon Say, in an article in the Journal des Debats, severely criticises the McKinlcy tariff and .the American Farmers' . Alliance. He do

clares -4 hat America, notwithstand- j

ing its immense wealth. cannot carry out its industrial, commercial or agricultural enterprises without European capital, and continues: "Th fact of the situation is, that they have destroyed their credit by- abusing it by maladministration of their transnort enterprises and by their even woree administration of their local finances. Unless a reaction ocenrs in pnblio morals. American credit cannot recover from its abasement, and its agricultural, like its other industries, will remain a prey to successive convulsions, for which transient remedies will be sought by the adoption of experiments certain to fail, continually leading the country to graver crises. It is astonishing that in a country of business men they have brought themselves to believe that there are no limits to money circulation. If Amerfca turns its mines into coin and raises the paper currency in accordance with the ideas of the Farmers Alliance no agreement will be possible with Europe on the monetary question. Europe will be foolish to transfer her capital to America in exchange for an absolutely useless mass of silver." GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. French Monarchist Make Fruitless Appeal to tbe Pope for Political Assistance. Special to the Inmanapolls J on irhaL - ( London, Jan. 4.A Rome dispatch says that the French monarchists are endeavoring to persuade the Vatican to put a stop to the growing movement of the French clergy toward the republic, but that the Pope refuses to take any steps in tbe matter, leaving the French hierarchy to exercise their own discretion. 'Heretofore the attitude of the Catholic clergy in France toward the government has been one of dissa flection, and at the best of uufriendly toleration. There is a disposition in the Chambers to with hold the allowances of prelates too outspoken in hostility to the republic, although no such step has yet been taken. This feeling has alarmed some of the bishops, while others have been led to recognize that tbe cause of the republio is the cause of Franco. The secession of the archbishops of'Tonrs, Cambrai and Houen from the monarchist cause and their avowal of loyalty to the republic, has aroused the ntmost consternation among the adherents of the Count of Paris. Sympathy for Scotch Strikers. London, Jan. 4. There were numerous meetings throughout Great Britain to-day to express sympathy with the Scotch railway strikers, and to raise funds for their benefit. The contributions were on quite a generous scale. In London thousands of men marched with bands aud banners through the streets to the hall where the meeting was beld. Michael Davitt delivered an address. He declared that the London railway men were determined to support the Scotch strikers in their demand for shorter hours. John Barns, tbe Socialist leader, who also addressed the meeting, called on the big nuious to forward 5.000 to Scotland forthwith. He said be was going to Glasgow himself to-morrow. ' At a meeting of the strikers held In Glasgow to-day Councilor Tatt appealed to those of the men who had been reinstated to rejoin tho strikers, saying that if they refused to do so tbey would find their position uncomfortable when the oause of the strikers triumphed.

A meeting was held in tbe house of Professor Waldstein, the director of the American excavations, at which speeches eulogizing the deceased were made. roRtal Clerks Will Strike. London, Jan. 4. The postal clerks have decided to go on strike. The movement is nominally to test the question whether working over-time shall be voluntary or not, but virtually it is a protest against the increased employment of female clerks. Many clerks who have been dismissed, and whose places were filled by women, had been in the service twenty years. Cable Notes. The Waterford & Limerick railway strike has collapsed. The company refuses to reemploy any of the strikers. It is stated that tbe British government has virtually conceded the right of all her colonies to be included in any future treaties between England and foreign powers. Tbe report of the illness of Cardinal Lavigerie. who was said to be suffering ; from a fever, is contradicted. Advices re ceived yesterday were that tbe Cardinal is in excellent health. Another girl has died from the e fleers of injuries received in the disaster at the Charity Bazaar at Worlley, near Leeds, in which fifteen sirls who were preparing to take part in tbe tableaux were more or less seriously burned bv thoir dresses catching fire from Chinese lanterns.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Columbus, Jan. 4. On Saturday night John Lacy, a young man of this city, started to make the rounds of the saloons and was ejected from several of them where be attempted to create a disturbance. He threatened revenge, and, with a razor in hand, secreted himself in the alley at the rear of the saloon kept by Joe Goble, where he waited for a bartender that he tbousht would soon pass by. A few minutes past 10 o'clock Ed Diitz, a sixteen-year-old boy, who works in the grocery store of George I. Winans, passed the alley, when young Lacy sprang npon him, cutting several gashes in his head aud face. Diltz was also severely cut on the arm in attempting to ward on? the blows he was receiving from the razor, and almost lost his life before the flow of blood could be checked. He is resting easily to-day, and may recover. There was no trouble or feud existing between tho two; m fact, tbey bad not met prior -to tbe assault by Lacy. Officers succeeded iu runniug Lacy down and landing him in jau an boar later. He la charged witb assault and battery with intent to kill, and will be vigorously prosecuted. Free-for-AU Fight in a Theater. Special to the Indlanapobs Journal. - Gkf.encastlr, Jan. 4. A miniature riot occurred in this city last night', which was only suppressed by the heroio interference of the police. There was a cheap show at the opera-house, and a monster audience in attendance, the attraction being a variety of prizes oflered each evening during the' week to tbo holders of the lucky tickets. A dispute aroiis during tbe performance over the right of a young countryman named Newgent to a seat which he claimed, and which Bob Long, a town boy, bad appropriated. , The dispute was renewed at the close of the performance, and duriugthe melee that ensued between the conntrymen and town boys a stone was hurled, striking Long in the head and cutting a deep gash back of the ear. Newgent started for a liverystable, when Long's friends rallied and pursued thecountryman with clubs and stones. But for the interference of the police he would doubtless have Buttered at their hands, even if he had escaped with his life. Organization of miners. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Brazil, Jan. 4. A mass-meeting of miners is called for Clay City on' tbe fth inst. This is but one of a series being held now throughout thisentire district, another being announced for Brazil ten days later. Tbe object is to effect more thorongh or ganization among tbe miners preliminary to the State convention to he held on March 3. Interest in legislative measures is an other object.

Glob Silver BoltThe plural wife system prevails at San Carlos, where it is regarded by Apache bucks as profitable lor the reason that wives are tireless toilers. They chop wood, carry water, pack haj. herd "stock, build wickiups, cook, and iu fact do all the labor calculated to contribute to the necessity and comfort of the camp. Apache women are merchantable are bought and sold. A buck's wealth is estimated, in part, by the number of his wives. The value of a wife is calculated by tbe weight she can carry; therefore those having defective spines and unable to pack a sack ot lionr, or a bundle of bay, or an eighth of a cord of wood and a papoote at the same time, are not regarded a valuable property, and are less appreciated by their masters than a pony or c burro.
