LIGHT TOUCHES.
The construction of some Pianos and
Organ■ is such as to require considerable
force to produce sound. In those we are
showing the mechanical parts are so nicely
adjusted that they respond to the most
delicate touch. But they can stand the
heavier hand of a player made enthusiastic
by the richness of tone, the volume, the
purity of their notes. And the exteriors
are Utting houses for such music. See

Gamblers Pulled-
Between 12 and 8 o’clock yesterday ai
teraoon Chief Ison and Officers Gordon
and Phelps arrested seventeen negro
gamblers.
The last raid was a large success and
resulted in the capture of six negroes—
gating all the coons, cards and cash.
They were all placed behind the bars,
except a few who gave bond.
This was a big half day’s work, and
shows that evil-doers stand a slim chance
to evade detection by the police of Griffin.
At a late hour last night the six coons
arrested last night plead guilty and were
fined $25 and serve six months on
chaiqgaag. It is thought that most of
them win pay out.

CALLING BACK THE SUN.
The Mo<ul Dance That Helps to Caase the
Return of Sammer and Harvests.
Dr. Tewkea of the Smithsonian tnstltu
tion at Washington returned recently tc
Denver from the Moqui villages in Ari
zona, where he attended the winter dances
of the Indians. He la one of the few white
men who have ever aeen this remarkable
ceremony, and the result of his visit will
appear in a detailed report on his return
to Washington.
The dance or ceremony is called the say
la-na, and is the most complicated of all
the religious ceremonies among the Mo
quia It continues for nino days, includ
ing preliminary preparations. It is one of
the few ceremonies still in existence among
the uncivilized tribes in which the sun is
directly the object of worship. The dance
tokos place at the winter solstice when the
sun has receded to its farthest limit in the
southern sky. Its object is primarily to
induce the sun to recede from its southern
inarch and retrace Its stops toward the
north, to bring joy. warmth and returning
harvests to the Moquis. The secondary ob
ject is to extend a peace offering to the
great plumed snake, a deity hostile to the
sun, in order that his wrath may be ap
peased and he may cease to chase the sun
away from the Moquis.
The main dance took place at Walpai on
Den. 20, and on the 22d at Oriaba. It was
held between 10 and 12 o’clock in the
evening in one of tho secret rooms of the
khlva. A rude altar bad been construct
ed in one end of tho room, back of which
was a partition of wreaths nnd flowers,
through which the head of an effigy of the
plumed serpent protruded. This head was
about 18 inches long and about 12 Inches
in diameter and made from a large gourd.
Tho upper part of the head was stained
black, the lower part whire, and the
mouth, with a hideous exhibition of teeth,
Was stained red. Behind this screen was
an Indian, whoso office it was to impart to
the head of the reptile a swaying motion,
as if the serpent was imbued with life. At
tho same time a number of Indians blew in
to hollow gourds, which emitted a strange
rushing sound to imitate the noise made
by tho swift movement of a monster snake.
In front of the altar and the effigy of the
snake appeared a warrior with a shield on
Which were represented emblems of the
sun. These minor deities and the plumed
snake attacked tho warrior representing
the sun, and a battle ensued in which the
lono warrior triumphed, beating back bls
enemies, and thus being enabled to return
to the north to cheer the land of the Mo
quis.
The next morning after the performance
as the sun rises above tho eastern horizon
and tips the western hills with gold the
Indians offer up their prayers and sprinkle
holy meal in its fore, and by these simple
acts of devotion welcome its return from
the southern skies, and with it also the re
turn of the kachenos, the good spirits
who bring tho Moquis rain, corn, abun
dance of harvest and all tho blessings of
life.—New York Sun.
Famous Washington Parrots.
Chief Justice Fuller has a Mexican par
rot of which he is very fond and of whose
acquirements ho is exceedingly proud. Its
latest accomplishment is to call the chief
justice “grandpa. ’’ The title was not so
pleasing at first, but since his last married
daughter, Mrs. Beecher, has presented the
family with two grandchildren in two
years he is perfectly resigned to the inev
itable title, even from a parrot’s lips.
There are several distinguished friends of
tho chief justice who talk parrot with him
and swap bright sayings of their pets.
For one, the British ambassador has an
exceedingly talkative and well Informed
bird.. His name is Jacob, and-ho has been
a pet in tho family for 13 years. Not long
ago Jacob was blown from tho window
seat of the dining room of the embassy
and was picked up in the street by a boy—
a good boy, as it happened—and conse
quently was restored after about a week,
in which the family nearly went distract
ed.
The good boy was rewarded by the finest
atlas that Sir Julian could find, with his
name in it, as a reward of merit, and the
good boy is the envy of all bis school
mates.
The wife of the Mexican minister, Mme.
Romero, has a parrot who is a fine lin
guist. He speaks Spanish and French
and occasionally English. Ho is a beauti
ful Mexican bird and is quite the idol of
the family. Miss Mitchell, daughter of J.
J. Mitchell, cousin of Mrs. Stanley Mat
thews, has a parrot of rare attainments,
who talks and sings. Judge Advocate
General Lieber also has a well trained par
rot. —Washington Letter in Chicago Trib

What Zola Has Undertaken.
The government is the smallest of M.
Zola’s foes. He faces an angry nation,
which, with exceptions that hardly count
in the flood of passion and prejudice, is ex
asperated against Dreyfus almost to the
shedding of blood. His indictment, what
ever may come of it, is a piece of the most
heroic courage in the annals of civil life.
Ho has had a foretaste of the persecution
that awaits him. Colonel Picquart, who
was the first to expose Esterhazy, has been
arrested and shut up at Mont Valerien. It
is rumored that M. Mathieu Dreyfus is to
be prosecuted, and, if possible, to be bled
with a demand for damages fixed at £20,-
000. But the most conspicuous figure of
this group of brave men struggling for the
justice of an open trial is tho great writer
who leads their forlorn hope. If tho gov
ernment give him an open trial, ho may
yet succeed in putting its methods to
shame. It is more probable that it will
bring his old age to ignominy and ruin.—

The Curfew Bell.
The Rev. Charles A. Crane, a Methodist
minister of Boston, advocates the revival
of tho curfew bell in that city. “Boston,”
he_said the other evening, “owes it to her
self, and especially to her boys, to pass and
faithfully execute a curfew law which shall
require all children 16 years of age and
under to be off the streets at 8 o’clock in
the winter and 9 o’clock in the summer.
Lincoln, Neb., was the first city to adopt;
the curfew law, about two years ago.
Omaha, Denver, Kansas City, Des Moines,
Topeka and Evanston, Ills., are among
the larger oities which have followed. Tho
testimony in favor of the innovation is
strong. The chief of police of St. Joseph,
Mo., says that seven-eighths of the people
give it their sincere approval. There has
been a reduction of SO per cent in com
mitments to the reform school from that
city. ”

Want Wealth 100 Quick-
Bradstreet's Commercial Agency has
arranged a review of the business con
ditions of 1897, icclading all of the
failures in business and the different
causes (hat led to them The report
is issued iu a bound volume and soma
of the facts in it should be penned to
the spinal column of a large element
in business who enter upon the com*
mercial seas with n determination to
outstrip any olhvi craft io the wide
domain.
The report shows, as usual, that
Providerce and the times helps those
who help themselves. The fact is de
veloped in the report that two thirds
of the failures are the result of faults
in tbe men who failed—and are due to
lack of capital to begin with in some;
incompetency, inexperience, fraudu
lent disposition and extravagance in
others, while unwise granting of cred
its, neglect and speculation come in
for their share of the year’s failures in
still other instances.
Perhaps a majority of failures in
business is due to the fact that many
business men attempt to do more bus
iness than their capital will warrant
They enter business with a few hun
dred dollars and in a short while have
stretched their credit into many thou
sands. The inflation of credit is always
followed by contraction when the pay
ing time comes and failure is the result.
Tbe man goes to tbe wall and tbe
difference between the liabilities and
assets in almost every instance shows
more money than was originally pat
in the business, besides allowing tbe
proprietor of the business a support,
extravagant in proportion to (be
amount of bis assets, rather than bis
actual woitb. <
What is true in the business world
is true in every other calling. In
stances of vaulting ambition overleap
ing itself is seen in every walk of life
The farmer who tries to attend to more
acres of land and raise a greater crop
than he is able to cultivate without
going heels over bead in debt will find
failure awaiting hint when his balances
are made at tbe end of the year
The slow and steady steps are safer
for all. The man who remains within
tbe bounds of bis own ability, spending
not more than he earns, will .find suc
cess in almost any undertaking. No
system of laws and no financial system
will insure any man against inevitable
failure if these things are not regarded.
