A QUEER LITTLE TRIBE.
They Live in a Ravine, Where Som
mer Is Perpetual.
Tbe Primitive Ava-Supies, 300 in
Number, Whose Abidin* Place is a
Narrow Valley in Northeastern Ari
zona—A Climate of Perpetual Sum
mer.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
One of the strangest peoples, and, per
haps. the strangest to be found within
the borders of the UDited States, is a
small band of Indians known as the Ava-
Supies, who inhabit an almost maeees
ible canon m the extreme northeastern
portion of Arizona. The people are not
strange from any physical deformity or
stature, nor remarkable religious wor
ship, hut rather from their extremely
primitive mode of life. Their home is
situated in the deep defiles of Cataract
canon, a tributary of the Little Colorado
river, which has its rise in the Bill
Williams mountains. The narrow Valiev
is from 100 to 500 yards wide, with walls
of sandstone and granite rising perpen
dicularly on either side to a sheer hight
of 2,000 to 4,000 feet. The ap
proach is by a narrow, twist
ing, tortuous trail which descends
from the broad plateau above, winding in
and out beneath the towering walls and
precipices. In some places it is so narrow
that a single person with a burden finds
it difficult to avoid pitching into the
depths below. Through the center of the
little valley flows a cold, clear stream,
which is fed by the mountain snows of
the distant Bill Williams peak. The cur
rent is rapid and the power is utilized in
a crude way for grinding the grain, which
is one of the principal crops of this Arca
dian people. At the lower end of the
stream the water is diverted into acequias
which carry it to the fertile fields. Irri
gation is necessary for all crops, as the
rain clouds seldom pour their contents
Into the hidden valley and the snow never
falls. The soil is a rich, black loam, de
bris left by overflows of the adjacent
Colorado in untold seasons. It produces,
in addition to various kinds of grain,
peaches, grapes, apricots and a species of
guava.
MAINTAINING A PURE DEMOCRACY.
The Ava-Supies have no extensive
flocks, neither herds of cattle nor horses,
like many of their prosperous neighbors
above, for all their available land is re
quired in agricultural pursuits, but a
profitable trade is carried on with the
Moquis, Zunis and Navajos, fruits and
meal being exchanged for dried meats
and coarse cloths. The tribe at the pres
ent time numbers about 300, and is a
somewhat heterogeneous group, being
made up of refugees from various tribes
of the southwest. They are carefully ob
servant of law and order as prescribed by
the authorities of the pueblo, and are
courteous anu hospitable to outsiders.
Down in this sylvan retreat the climate is
delightful. Neither the extreme heat of
summer nor the severity of winter is felt.
While the chill winds are raging over
head this sequestered glen is all abloom
with flowers and green with waving
grass.
The Ava-Supies practice monogamy,
with the exception of the head chief, to
whom is granted a special dispensation
permitting him to take as many wives as
he can secure and support. Failure to
provide justifies a wife in securing a di
vorce, which is done in the simplest man
ner by leaving the lodge of her lord and
refusing thereafter to recognize him in
any manner. Should there be a man at
the bottom of the domestic row the chief
has then the satisfaction of arraigning
him before the council, and it is the duty
of that august body to assess the dam
ages. The amount is usually based upon
the ability of the defendant to pay, and
when a sum has been fixed upon it must
be instantly liquidated or the death pen
alty is the alternative. This rigid justice
is supposed to exercise a beneficial re
straint upon the hot-bloods of the Ava-
Supies. The government of this primi
tive congregation is in the hands of a
chief who is elected by popular vote. The
office is not hereditary, and it is seldom
that a son succeeds his father. The dis
position seems to favor passing the hon
ors around and thus maintaining a pure
democracy.
A LEGEND O T THE TRIBE.
There is a rather interesting tradition
which the Ava-Supies tell concerning
themselves. In the early days, ages and
ages ago. the legend runs, their fore
fathers dwelt in a great walled city on
the mesas above. They were a contented
and prosperous people, cultivating vast
fields and raising enormous herds of
stock. In the course of time, exalted by
power and riches, they became aggres
sive and domineered it over their weaker
neighbors For weeks at a time they
would neglect their fields and herds
while they raided some near-by tribe.
The Great Spirit whom they had always
worshipped grew angry at them, for
he was the father of all the tribes alike,
and resolved to send some terrible visita
tion, that they might know the strength
of his hand, it came at noonday, when
all the men and women were in the fields.
Suddenly, out of the clear sky, a bright
light burst and a great wind, followed by
a trembling of the whole earth. The
frightened people turned to run for their
homes, but before they could reach the
walls of the pueblo the ground opened
and they were ail swallowed up. Then
darkness covered tho sky, and for many
hours the shrieks of those who had been
left within the city walls were heard
above the sound of tho falling of their
homes.
When light came again there was not a
sign of habitation left upon all the wide
mesa Nearly the entire tribe had been
swept away. In one place where the
ground opened, it had only partly closed
again, leaving two separate mesas upon
its sides. The lower was broader than
the upper, and, moreover, opened out into
the channel of a great stream, but the
upper was cut off from approach either
by ascent or from their brethren below.
At the bottom life might be supported on
nsh and stray fowl, and on the sides ot
tiieir rocky prison grew bushes and
stunted trees which yielded an abundance
of berries and pinoles in season. So the
little band set about to begin life again.
1 irst of all they sought to build
a path to their imprisoned brothers
on the upper mesa. Their numbers
"ere few, and they had only such rude
implements at hand as might be made
from the tough young saplings. Each
day saw them painfully and slowly ad
vancing upward, but each day told upon
tiie hungry and suffering people in the
aerial prison. As the days passsed by
the workers made feverish haste. Some
'cues, when the winds were still, they
could hear the cries of anguish and dis
tress boating out upon the still air Then
they would see the glaring, eager eyes,
the despairing creatures hung over
'he precipice and shouted for aid. At
[nnes the monotone of the workers would
"■ broken by a shriek and glancing up
"tara they would see between them and
’ sun the body of someone one of their
demented kindred, who had hurled him
•*'lf into the abyss
ONLV TUB CAXK LEFT.
At last the workers reached the sum
mit. but to their horror not one of their
kinsmen was loft. Strewed about in all
manner of shapes were the remains of
'•lr loved ones and friends Their faro
Lo -stricken faces would have told the
~r. v of their death if It had not already

’* r "' riles of their people, the reo-ains
'‘ committed U tneir final rest, and
*"* ,r ‘*"'ril*HT returned to what
Mi | |t
seemed hopeless lives below. But the
Ava-Supies were brave and patient even
in the shadow of dispair. They set about
and gathered large quantities of the
fruits and nuts, storing them away for
the winter season. The iish they dried to
the same purpose. Then they resolved to
continue the road from the upper mesa
still upward w ith the hope that perhaps
they might again reach their old homes.
The work was slow. Almost a gener
ation had passed before they reached the
broad mesas where once had been their
homes. They saw nothing. The plains
stretched away on every side in utter
barrenness. Their only home, after all,
was down in the deep canon where the
Great (spirit had sent them. Sorrowfully
they returned, and yet with fighter hearts
than they had known for many days.
Most of them now had been horn in the
shadow of the mighty walls. There they
would be contented io live, and perhaps,
if they accepted the vengeance that had
been visited upon their fathers and them
selves in due meekness of spirit, it would
not be counted against them when they
died and reached their home behind the
stars.
The tradition continues to relate how
men from other tribes, generations after
ward found the pathway hewn with so
much toil and care and came and settled
among the Ava-Supies. Gradually inter
course sprang up with the outside world.
From the Moqui village they obtained
seeds of many kinds and grew from year
to jear into semi-civilized pursuits.
* All traditions have more or less founda
tion,though sometimes, and. indeed.often,
it is very meager. It is possible tha>t the
narrow defile which is now the happy
home of the Ava-Supies. was the result
of one of those fearful earthquakes
which in times past were not at all un
common in these latitudes. The mesa
above is covered for miles around with
debris and volcanic deposit, indicating a
mighty earth disturbance at some time.
FLORIDA’S DEMOCRATS
The State Convention to Meet at Jack
sonville To-day.
Jacksonville, Fla., July 30.—The Demo
cratic party of the state of Florida will
meet in this city to-morrow at noon for
the purpose of nominating a justice of the
supreme court. It seems to be settled
that Justice Liddon. who was appointed
by Gov. Mitchell a few months ago to
serve out the unexpired term of Chief
Justice Raney, resigned, will be nomina
ted. So far no opposition to Justice Lid
dop has developed.
The state executive committee met to
day to make up a prima facie list of dele
gates entitled to seats. There were con
testing delegations from Duval, Nassau
and Volusia counties. The Duval contest
grows out of the action of the Tampa
convention two years ago, which seated
the Taliaferro-Triay delegation from
Duval over the Barrs-Stockton dele
gates. The latter faction has never rec
ognized the legalty of the action, aud re
fused to go into the primaries that were
held a few days ago by the DancyTriay
executive committee, which, so far as the
action of the Tampa convention could
make it, was the regular demo
cratic committee of Duval county.
The Barrs-Stockton faction has
always refused to recognize the
legality of Jhe Dancy committee, and so,
on the same day, two democratic prima
ries were held in this county. To-day the
state executive committee settled the Du
val contest by completely ignoring the
Barrs-Stockton faction. After this action,
it is hard to see how the latter faction
can even get a hearing before the com
mittee on credentials of the convention.
The contests from Nassau and Volusia
counties were referred to the convention
to settle. In these latter counties all
democrats participated in the same prim
aries, and the split occurred in the
county conventions. It is thought the
convention will indorse Cleveland’s ad
ministration.
RESUMING WORK AT CHICAGO.
Steel Mills and Other Industrial
Plants in Operation Again.
Chicago, July 30.—The Chicago steel
mills, which were closed during the
recent railroad strike, started up this
morning with 2,500 men.
About 100 strikers returned to work in
the Nickel Plate car shops at Ninety
third street and Jefferson avenue this
morning.
Tho Chicago and Eastern Illinois rail
road strikers are clamoring to resume
their old positions, and they will be taken
back so far as it does not interfere with
those already at work.
Work is being resumed in all the rail
road shops, and b.v the end of this week
the last of the strike will have been beard
from.
Hints on Cotton Growing.
It is of first importance to plant the
best improved variety of cotton seed, says
W. E. Collins in Practical Farmer.
Without good seed there can be no satis
factory crop. Few cotton planters at
tach the importance to this wnich it de
serves. Cotton deteriorates rapidly, and
will mix badly in the field, when differ
ent varieties are growing in the same
field. Bees and other insects, going from
plant to plant, carry the pollen on their
feet, and will thus mix the varieties
when grown at a considerable distance
apart. It is seldom that through careless
handling the seeds become mixed at the
gin. although it may be easily done, sinpe
every gin handles during the sea
son almost all varieties. When
the planter becomes possessed of
a good variety, he should keep
it up. This may be done by selecting the
best plants and marking them by a strip
of white cloth tied near the top of the
plant, where it may be easily seen by the
picner entrusted with the duty of gather
ing cotton from these selected plants.
Carefully save these seeds for the next
crop, etc. If it be desired to improve for
earliness„save all of the pods first open
ing; follow this course for a few years and
success will result. Earliness is impor
t int. The demand for this class of cotton
is growing annually. A cotton which will
mature ahead of the appearance of the
boll worm and cotton caterpillar, would be
very valuable. July and August are the
two months in which cotton enemies (in
sect) aopear ip greatest numbers and are
most destructive. The short-limbed va
rieties are usually earliest and most pro
lific, and thereforedt sirable. Among the
best sorts for this section we would rec
ommend Peterkin limbed Cluster.
Boyd's Prolific and the Taylor. The
writer has found the Peterkin most
prohtable. It is in his judgment the best
••all around” cotton for negro labor yet
introduced. The seeds are small and
smooth black, giving from 38 to id per
cent. lint. The long staple fancy cottons
are generally ‘ shy” bearers, and do not
pay, except at extra fancy prices
which are not likely to be obtained until
the importation of Egyptian and South
American varieties ends. Vicksburg.
Miss , located in the center of the coun
try producing tho finest grades of upland
cotton, has lor some years obtained high
est prices for such cottons, which so en
couraged growth of these that nearly
even one planted them to the exclusion
of others, aud have overstocked the mar
ket, until today there is little if any
premium ujmn fancy grades What the
planter should do is to obtain seeds of the
best short staph- varieties aud stick to
them as the main crop, planting loug
staples as a side crop i ufgm a small scale
if be moat keep them i.

of gum arabic in a wineglass of boiling
water, adding plaster of Paris to form a
thick paste. Use at once, applying with
a brush.
Trees that are whitewashed about
three times a year, from early spring
until fall, will be partially protected
against insects, but the best reason for
using the lime wash is the neat and at
tractive appearance of the trees after
being whitewashed. There should be no
“economy’’ practiced in using the lime.
Apply it of the consistency of cream, and
use it plentifully. If necessary apply
once a month, during the first three
spring months, and then once or twice
during the summer and fall.
Salt is not a fertilizer in itself, but it
increases crops when applied to soils by
its action upon what the soil already con
tains. It appears to do this chiefly by the
formation of the silicate of soda, which,
being taken up by the growing plants
makes them strong and vigorous. This
is illustrated by its use upon such crops
as wheat aud oats, which are apt to lodge
upon rich soils. By using salt, the straw
is made strong and the yield is increased.
About twenty-five pounds per acre sown
broadcast answers a good purpose.
PIRATE TREASURES.
The Old Tradition From Which Poe
Wrote the Gold Bug.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The traditions of treasures buried by
the pirates, Kidd, Lafitte and Black
beard, gave a romantic interest to the
Atlantic coast from Massachusetts to
Georgia. Thousands of men have searched
for these buried chests of gold, but there
is authentic record of only two “finds,”
one on the New England coast, the other
in Virginia.
The latter case is said to have fur
nished Poe with the foundation of his
story of the “Gold Bug.” The facts are
briefly these: In the Atlantic ocean, ly
ing off the Virginia coast, there are two
or three heavily wooded islands. One of
these was the resort of Blackbeard, and
was called by his name—Teach. A neigh
boring island belonged a century ago to a
wealthy woman on the mainland, "it was
a wilderness which never had been in
habited hut by foxes, wild duck and other
game.
A trusty old slave, Ben. was placed by
her in a cabin on the beach to bring her
occasionally game and fish. One day,
while walking on the shore. Ben saw a
yellow gleam in the sand. It came from

a gold coin. He searched breathlessly
along the beach and found 3 rusty iron
box, one end of which had fallen out.
Within was a heap of coins, with crosses
and silver crucifixes. The old man went
to his cabin and brought an empty salt
hag. which he filled with the coins. He
then dragged a heap of brush over the
chest to conceal it, set up a broken sap
ling to mark the place, and then started
for the mainland to give the treasure to
his mistress.
Tradition says that Mrs. Hetty was a
hard, suspicious woman, and that when
the trusty old negro pave her the mass of
coin,, her joy was equaled by her terror
that he would rob her of the great trea
sure he had left behind. A heavy storm
raged for five day it was impossible for
her to make the voyage to the island in
an open boat, and she would not trust
Ben. nor even her brother or son. to go
without her.
At the end of a week the sea was calm
enough for her to cross, but the sapling,
the brush and the chest had disappeared
An unbroken stretch of sand covered the
whole coast. Ben could not find the spot
then nor never after. His mistress, it is
said, kept him at the search as long as he
lived, aiding him herself, but in vain.
Some of the gunners who have visited
the island have also searched for Mrs.
Hetty’s chest, but it never .has been
found. Nothing is certain but the fact
that the bag of coins was brought to her.
and that the touch of the gold and her
suspicions and greed made her fife
wretched to the end.
The poor fishermen of the coast under
stand the moral of her story. When any
of their number grows avaricious they
say that he has “rubbed his hands against
