He- M)9"Of all-tho people callcil I'ucb- Us who still suivlvo In America the Hopl are the least mo lined. Numbering about 2,000 In all , they are distributed In seven small settlements In southwestern Arizona , surrounded by a wide cxpanie ot arid des ert. Thus , Isolated from white man's Intlu- cncc. they wllll adhere closely lo the strange ' mthology and religious rituals of their nriccstors , who were living In the same lo cality In the sixteenth century when dlucov * ered by the Spanlaids. "Leaving the railroad at Holbrook , Ariz. , I litcly traveled seventy or eighty miles not th , thiough an anclrnt Inill tn trail , to Wtilpl a very old llnpl town , which stands upon j. steep and picturesque mesa overlookIng - Ing the ba-rcn planes below for many miles. There are esta'bl'shel ' among the Hopl two very taciod prlesthools the 'antelopes' and 'tho ' 'bnakcn whoso sacred rites the unini tiated are never permitted to see Membership - ship to them Is limited and even the Hopls are debarred entrance to the secret rooms In which the religious services are per formed It wns necessary for me to join 1)iit one of the two secret organizations In order to wltne'ti the rites of both , and I tlhobo to become ono of the 'antelopes , ' partly because they wcro the stronger of the two and partly because I had been nil- vised that Initiation Into the 'snakes' would Involve certain repulsive requirements 1 could never learn exactly what these were , but the ) had much to do with the handling o : live rattlesnakes and the placing ot them In in ) mouth. "To bo properly Initiated ns an antelope Is was essential for mo to .select from among tli lr p-let8 one who should become my foster-father responsible for my character and ni ) discretion In regard to betraing the secret rites to the uninitiated Hopls. It Avas derided , box.ever , that there would be 110 objection to my dlv ulglng thosj cere monies to white people , and that It would bo beneficial for mo to preserve an accurate account of them to bo handed down to posterity. nnJNO INITIATED. "My Initiation occurred In a dark subter rancan room , the sacied 'klva , ' where all such ceremonies wcra customarily held. This I could enter only through a , hatchway In the room , and descending by means of n ladder I reached the Interior , lighted by a flro 'built ' In the middle of tihe floor. I had chosen as my Hopl foster-father an oU , deaf priest named Wikl ( 'Roasting an Har of Corn' ) and the formality of his selection in the 'klva' consisted primarily of my plac ing In his hand a morsel ot 'sacred meal , ' which ho placed to his mouth and , consecrated crated with a jirajer for my future purity of'heart. ' Ho then sprinkled the meal over several fetiches arranged about an altar , a peculiar structure made In the west end ot the room. "I .vas hereafter allowed entrance to the klva , ' but was > not considered a priest. I with other novitiates , had boon guided by courtier outside the town several mornings < to a certain sacred shrine , where we were told to deposit a pinch of sacred meal and ot the same time offer a prayer to the Hopl cods I was furthermore required to wear attached to my scalplock a feather , stained red , to signify that I had beecme a prle t. Even then mv Initiation was Incomplete Jintll I was escorted to my fostcr-father'n house to receive my new name. "Hero I finiml his entire family gathered around walling for the ceremony to take place. Standing In the middle of the floor 'Was ' a large bowl filled with water covered by suds made with roots of the soap plant I was told to kneel before this and to bend my head over It. which I did. wh.lo my foster-father's ( Wife gave my held a thor ough vvoehlni ? I was then told to stand wnilo my face was covered with wet meal and I was loquestcd lo allow this to remain until the close of the day. The preliminaries imving been concluded. I received my Hopl tiamo and. obeying Instructions , carried a handful of meal to the doorway and cast It up toward the sun. "Through this ceremony I practically /bocamo / a mcn-ibsr of Wlkl's household. I vvau over afterward to consider them as my Kin , nnd is a manifestation of my sincerity "Ei r1 ' ? .

The Buako and antelope priests are the Principal factors the former number Ing * ? ? i' T1 , "l ° lattcr my ] ll"ccnoil each ot the first four of the nlno das the ecako priest scoured the country toward a different cardinal point of the compass for all the live rattlesnakes and other venomous serpents there to be found Early each of these mornings .they dlxested themselves of nil clothing except their breech cloths , lialiifcd their bcdles red armed themselves with hoes and sticks , filed down the mesa In a single tile and proceeded all day to (111 ( their canvas bags with the snakes , about sixty , which two-thlrds rattlfsnal.cs-had been gathered at the end of the second day. With various cere-monies the serpents were transferred - ferred lo four large Jars In the 'kUa,1 where they weru treated with the utmost care no attempt being made to deprive them of their fangs or 'to ' harm them In any way. Loud talking and violent motions worn f-rbldden lu their presence Even the largest of them were handled gently and fearlessly by their keepers. "On a subsequent day the serpents were taken from their Jars and allowed to crawl about the lloor of the klva , where they often collected In wriggling masses In the cornets. Meanwhile the priests continued to prepare their ceremonial paraphernalia , two of them preventing the reptiles from advancing too close. I'lnally , on the day of the public ceremony -the ninth da ) the chief snake lirlest made an altar upon the lloor of the Itlva by pouring out various colored sand and arranging It In the form of a rectangular de- elsn. When finished It was a brilliant sand picture , representing a mountain lion sur- rojRidcd by four snakes of d Iff event co'ors. | /On / the same day all of the prltsts of Iboth Bcfle-tlos thoroughly washed their lirada , f.s did I , and av all of the collected reptllcti were regarded BS members of the vnako prlcEthoal , tholr heads wcro also thoroughly clciraed , The lattcr ceremony hs < I never before been wl' EicO by a white man , and wag , Indeed , ono ot the most star tling features of the entire per form a nee.

Tour surrounded a bowl of liquid placed upon a mound of sand and four others stood by the Jar containing the serpents. The remainder squatted about en the flw. beating time with their nnako whips , tnailo of featlicra , to a weird chant which Increased In volume as the priests at the jars , selecting the rattlesnakes first , han.lod them out , eight at a time , to the four prints dt the bowl. The lattcr , with a ncrpcnt In both hands , lifted them up and donn with the rhythm of the song , and finally submerged their heads sometimes their entire bodies Into the liquid. This was always a signal for the chant lo break Into a blood-ciiulling war cry. HANDLE SNAKES FDAHLESSLY. "Having been thus washed , each lot of snakes was 103801 ! upon the altnr , where they were allowed to wrlgglo until they became perfectly dry and until hey com pletely demolished the sand picture. Finally they were permitted to crawl about upon the floor of 'the ' klva while the nakol priests continued to prepare their ceremonial cos tume. . . "A few das liter the serpents were col lected In a bag and carried Into the open plaza and deposited 1n a cottonwrod bower , called the 'klsl. ' Long 'before ' sundown spec tators , anxious to observe the public part of the ceremony , had assembled upon the roofs of nil the Hopl houses facing this plara. Just as the sun sunk below the horizon zen their suspense was relieved by the ap pearance of the antclopo priests , who filed out 04 their klva In gaudy array , and made four circuits In front of the 'klsl , ' each ono deporting a pinch of meal Into a hole throuirh the center of a log placed on the K.rou' ' " Through thla opening the ancestors or the Hopl were believed to have made tiielr ascent from under the -world. 'A platoon was then formed on each side of the klva , facing the south , and the snake priests , headed b ) their chief , who bore their saticd emblem , entcrel the plaza from their Klva and made four c'rciilts ' In front of the antelopes After various other evolutions the snake priests divided Into groups of three ono of each kneeling In turn upon the ground in front of the cottonwcod bower and receiv ing , from the man hidden within , a serpent usually a rattlesnake placed It In his mouth , grasped Us body with his tectli , closed his ecs nnd rose to his feet. "Another of the two priests remaining In caeh group would then place his left arm around the neck of the snake carrier , lea ling him about the plaza , and b-ushing the beat ot the serpent with his feather whip to pro- unt It from touching the face or neck of its tormentor The remaining man of each trio then followed clogel ) upon the two , as they continued In a circuit about the plaza , and stood picpated to pick up the snaUo when It might be dropped from the carrier's mouth. Lach trio repeated tMs unnatural perform ance until all of the-snakes had been dropped to tlie ground Tbosc who had followed as gatherers then colected at one en1 of the pla a , holding the snakes , which sometimes became too cumbersome for theli hands ant had to be shared with the antelope priests ncarb ) During tholr circuits I saw many of the carriers take two or three snakes , most of them rattlcsmkcs ot the most venomous tjpe. In their mouths at ono time "As those who held the snakes , now all used , stood In line and waited the chief of the antelope priests stepped forward Into the plaza and formed with the sacred meal , a largo circle about twenty feet In diameter. At n given signal all of the serpents were thrown In this , where they formed a. writhing n-ass The old priest then sprinkled them with meal and delivered over them a pracr , whoso purport was that they shoulil return to the under world and Intercede with the rain gods at the cardinal points of the compass. "At another signal the snake priests rushed Into the sacred circle , seUcd all"of the ser pents the ) could carry and made off down the mesa Into the plain below. Hero they divided Into four groups , one going no'Ch , another south , another cast and the other west. Depositing a fourth of the snakes at each point , they returned to the pueblo , stripped themselves of their dance costumes and retired to the edge of the mesa , where th ) drank of a powciful emetic and vomited vigorously over the fclde of the cliff. They then washed their bodies and returned to the kiva , Where a great feast , the first food that they had eaten on that day , was seived them 'by the women of Walpl.

Shearman of this city has submitted to the commission a paper on tl e establishment of branch tanks on a large scale. "I rcgara this plan ns far moie Important , as well as more practicable , " sas Mr. Sheafman , "than any other icmcdy whlcn has boon proposed for the settlement of the currency question. " Mr. Shearman Insists that'naturc l.aa driven conditions forward ) to a point at which the whole country Is actually on a banking basis. Instead of a money basis , for exchange. "Those sections of the country which have the fewest good banks are just as much upon a banking basis as the rest of the country , " he said. "The tremendous Increase of ex change , which has gone on with advancing civilization , has reached proportions which make It hopeless to expect that such ex changes can ever be carrletl on by the use of actual money however that term may be defined. And whether nloncy consists only of gold atld hllver or lududcs else bank and , government notes , representing gold and silver , in.tKes practically no difference. There Is not , there never was 'and there never would he enough Ttioncy even within these liberal definitions to enable oneenth'of the exchanges of this ebuntry to be' conducted by the actual use of any sich | money. The disproportion will Increase Instead of diminish. ' "Largo central banks ought to be allowed to establish branches In every part of the country , " continues Mr. Shearman. "These branches could bo conducted v\lth great economy and therefore could furnish the means of exchange at but a slight advance over the cost of exchanges In the cities The effectiveness of the branch bank system In solving the currency problem Is sufficiently proved by the example of Canada , where this system Is In full operation , and the currency question Is never raised.

The circumstance also Indicates to what lengths Peabody and Gregory are willing to go In their servility to llerdman when ho swings the political lash. It seems that some months ago llcrdman had a man named iRustln appointed to a po sition In the nro department. The man wns phslcally Incapacitated for service , but ho had performed some political services for the ring , and that was a sufficient qualification. When Hustlu Jiad served the probationary period Chief Hcdell refused to recommend him for a permanent position en account ot hU plijslcal unfltncss. llcrdman wad re- courao to the ever pliant I'cabod ) , who read ily signed a cci'tlllcnto on the strength of which Iluptln was given a sixty das' sick leave and was told to report for duty when this had explreJ. Chief Itcdcll agalci refused to put iilm to work uud then there was trouble. Hvrdinan palled Into the chief's ofllce and demanded to know who was running llut fire department aioway. The chief replied that to the best of his Know ledge and belief he vvaa lU'itilng It himself , and that moreover he.is running a flro dcpirtmcnt and not a hospital. Then llcrdman went Into the air and declared Hut ihe would show him before he got through with It that ho was iiinnl'.ig that department himself , but Hcdoll refused to be milidozcd unil declired that ho way not going to have Invalids In his department to please HerJman or an ) ono else. ( And he didn't , but this etaited a lot of trouble odd llerdmau and his Immcdljuo associates are still at outs wi h the head of tno flre department. It also develops that the relations between the board and the heads of the police de partment are also somewhat disturbed. A few das ago Lew Hlbben filed an applica tion for a licet we to open a saloon In the Kar- bach block on South Fifteenth street. Very recently a license had been refused at the same location and the owncra of the adjoin ing property ( lied a vigorous piotest In this case also. In addition to this Chief of I'o- I lice Gallagher and his assistants ( lied equally ! emphatic piotests. They made a showing to prove that Hlbben had previously conducted I a very disorderly place and was In every way unfit to run a saloon. They made It as j strong as they knew how , but for some un- I known rer-taon Hcrdmnn saw lit to overrule all the protests and grant the license. Ills side partners obediently Jumped when ho pulled the string and Hlbbcn's license has been Issued. Now the police ofllclals assert that they have been snubbed and the property owners who objected to the saloon are Indig nant. 1IOAHD OK 12DUCYTIOV IlEl'OHT.

IA tiew and notable fea ture Is a chart which shows Mio personnel of the various Hoards of Education from April , 3872 , to the end of 1897.

The amendments to the rules relative to the election and assignment of teachers , which were adopted by the reorganized IJcard of Education iMonday night , are contained In half a dozen words , but they Involve a very Important change In that particular. The effect of the changes Is to give the super intendent of Instruction largely Increased powers relative to the employment of teacher ; ) and to absolutely prevent the em ployment of teachers by members or commit tees of the board. Under the old rulca the superintendent could not Baslgn teachers except with the approval of the committee1 on teachers and examinations Now ho Is given full authority In th's ' respect , the only conditions being that ho Is icqulrcd to "consult" the commit tee before making the assignments. A still more Important provision Is that which de clares that neither the boaid nor any com mittee can elect or assign any teacher who Is without a certificate or who has not been recommended by the superintendent , Three amendments are designed to put an end to the Introduction of Incompetent teachers whose only commendation Is a political pull , During the last year or two teachers have been indiscriminately elected and assigned by on Ironclad majority against the protest of the superintendent and other members of the board. Some of them had previously been discharged for Incompetcncy and others wcro never classed as competent. But they held their jobs by virtue of their pull , and In some cases they were promoted over the heads of old and capable teachers. Under the new rules such a proceeding will bo prac tically Impossible , and It Is asserted that the change will bo In the highest degrco bene ficial. N ! llntliliiiii.

The next event of Interest In Toard ) ol Education affairs will bo the election of an attorney , " which will occur at the next reg ular meeting. While It has been generally conceded that a salaried attorney Is alto gether a urcless luxury , Inasmuch as the city council long ago signified Its willing ness to Instruct the city legal department to look after the affairs ot the board , the ll-xury Is one with which the board Is ap parently reluctant to dispense. There Is a largo field of candidates for the position , and so far there U no Indication of a disposition on the part of the board to dispense with the ofllco In the Interest of economy. The most active candidates for the posi tion during 1S9S are the present attorney , George W. Co\ell , L. D Holmes. A. S Churchill. Hugh A. Mcrs. J. B. Molklo and E. C.

AVarwhoops nnd howls made life hideous , and the noire seemed to be Issuing from a hundred throats The lacket was raised by noble rcdmeii , but Instead of being a hundred there were only ten ; Instead of being on the warpath , they were simply following the habit of their white brethren by taking In the town. The ten redskins who thus fell fiom grace arc witnesses In the federal court against some white men who are charged with selling and Introducing liquor-upon the Indian reser vation In this state. The cases In which they are to give evidence did not come up for trial IMonday and consequently the Indians were left to their own resources over night. During the early portion of the evening they took up the trial Into the "bad lands" and there visited some of the lowest dens. They spent all their money In bad liquor and this worked upon them so well that about mid night they commenced to run up nnd down the btreets , uttering bloodcurdling war- whoops. A policeman descended on the band and arrested ono of the most aggreiclvo of the outfit and their clamor ceased. Yesterday morning , however , the In dians falleJ to report and consequently quently some of the deputy mar shals were sent out to round them up Llttlo dllllculty was found In gathering t'lem together , as the Indians were thoroughly cowed by the threat that they would bo ar rested for violating the United States laws. Later In the morning they were all corraled In the federal court building. Deputy United States Marshal Allan also arrcy ed Llbblo Dean on the charge of scll'ng liquor to tie redskins She was at once given a preliminary iie'rlng before United States Commissioner Wapplch. She Insisted tlut she would not allow any "wlgwums In her place , " but the Indiana testified against her and she was held to the federal giand juiy in the sum of ? 300. The United States authorities say thit more nrres's on tie same diaige will follow. They have the names of two or three other of the proprietors of the low dens who are bald to have field Indians liquor. 1H.NQI in1 TO Mil. STIIiI.WUI.I. .
