The musical programs are to be the Im
portant features of nil the spring weddings ,
not at the church alone , but at the reception
after the ceremony. Those people who will
be so fortunate as to find their way to Mrs

daughter Kmlly's marriage will hrar the

nnd boys , who are secreted somewhere in
the house on the nuptial dny , and sing lovely
marriage choruses at Intervals till the brldo

Lohengrin chorus , but lovely old English
Scotch , Irish , German * and Swedish bridal
songs , without the accompaniment of any
Instrument , and the effect Is beautiful ns
well as unique.

Faro orchestra Is confined to wood and wind
Instruments nlonc , and It , In turn , has n

warriors of eastern Russia , bearded like

and wild Caucasus. The Russians wore
much bought after to lend diversity of In

Another quaint feature nt the Lenten en
terprise was a group of Arabs , who , as
well as Jean di Heazko and Mine. Sembrlch ,
have learned that there Is a way to New
Yorkers' pockets through the New Yorkers'
ears. There were only three of these dark-
skinned whlte-robud sons of the prophet ,
'and ' they weie re-ally travcllns In the suite
\ of an nng'lshman on bis way round the
world from the Soudan to London. Ills
Egyptians had actually fought the kallfa , and
they played on little drums and tooted on
little pipes , bluing flat on the floor , and
they I'titcrtalned guests not only for Mrs.
Ilelmont nnd Mrs Fish , 'but ' for half a score
of other celebrities , and went away with
the mysterious pockets In their robc and
turhins very much heavier than when they
' sot out to explore the country of the un

I"iiicriil .March.
"In the hotel at Santa Fo last summer the
notes of a brass band playing the tune
'Marching Through Geoigia , ' with great
vigor , called me to the window , " said .1
tourist who recently returned from New
Mexico and California. "It was n Mexican
funeral procession that I saw advancing to
ward the piazza. The mourucis followed the
hc'.irso on foot and in advance marched the
local Mexican band As It reached the plaza
the band changed its tune to 'There'll De a
Hot Tlrao In the Old Town Tonight' and > to
this melody the procession moved across the
public square on its way to Campo-Santo.
The expression of all the mourners was
grave nnd decorous and some of the people
on the plaza uncovered their heads ns tht
procession , passed. This marching to inu&lc
was the time-honored Mexican way"of show
ing rcsjxxt to the dead A New Mexican
friend explained to mo that the musical
repertory of the band being limited to three
or four pieces , It was necessary to make the
same tunes do duty at a funeral , a merry
making or n political meeting.
"On passing the ancient Indian vlllags of
Isleta on my way by train down the Ulo
Grande , a man described to mo the funeral
ot an Indian chief that he witnessed there
The body , laid out in state In the open air
before the church , was wrapped from head
to foot In gay-colored ribbons and was
watched by n band of warrlois attired In the
ancient war dress of their tribe , vsith feath
ers , beads and antique weapons. Three
musicians of the tribe , with tom-toms , sat
on the ground , beating time to the ; dolorous
chanting which they kept up while the guard
of honor Joined In the refrain. All the people
ple of the town were dressed In holiday at
tire In preparation for the procession and
burial , which , though conducted under the
rites of the Roman Catholic church , were to
have many features peculiar to the Indians ,
vestiges of the heathen customs of their an
cestors. The ceremonies concluded with a
funeral feast , for which bread , tortilloH
mutton , native wino und aguardiente hai
been provided In profusion.
"In the quaint New Mexican town of Mo-
sllla , with Us great -willow trees , vineyards
and broad Irrigating canal winding along the
main street , through the plazn , I heard the
church bell clang-Ing loudly ono day nt noon
It waa for the funeral of a young child am
the procession was Just entering the plaza
Four brown-skinned girls , bareheaded ana
gowned In white , with flowers In their halt
held each n corner of a board swung betweer
them. On this the body lay under -whlto
cloth strewn with flowers. Behind them
walKed six or seven women and half-grown
children. The bell continued to clang untl
the procession entered the chinch where the
Blmplo burial service was to be performed
After that the body would bo taken to
Cnmpo-Santo , the great white hamlbink
which was the burial ground for the com
moner sort of Mexicans an uncertain spo
for n final resting place , for the sands
shifted with the wind and the capricious Rio
Grande In one of ltn sudden changes of chan
nel might wash aw.iy or cut through at any
time. The Mexicans make no mourning ave :
the death of infants , bcllnving that they a
once enter upon a happy future existence as
angolltoh llltlo angels. "

It has been generally acknowledged for
omc time , relates n tom-spomlrnl of the
Vim- York Herald , that ordinary methods o :
ptopplurovlll ' not < lo with the men who
awlrsily reign In the heart of the Blue
lumntalns , or Koan ridge. They arc not in-
llned to submit to the law in any e\-
-rcmlty , for they are nil atnennblo for thn
greatest of crimes , ninllll probably die
Ightlng rnthcr than bo taken and compelled
o submit to trial before a court
Llttla o\er a year ago. as Will bo remem
bered , three governors Adams of Colorado ,
Wells of Utah mid Richards of Wyoming
entered Into ariangemeiHs wheieby HIP
nllltla of the three status were to be sent
against the rubbers. Plans were made nnil
ho mnttor was well under way when thr
first signs of hostility 'between ' this country
nnd Spain worn heralded The bravo boys
\ero needed against a greater and nurc
.linn local foe , and the repicsslon of the out
.nwt , was laid for a time upon the guber
natorlal shelf. Perhaps It w.-u > well , Judging
bv the tales of the gang and Its strength
which nro current.
In fact , It has been decided by the admin
.stratlon of Utah that the soldiers are not
the agency which can combat and overcome
ho McCarthy brigands , or make the nt-
.empt with the bust chance of success. The
movement of a body of troops and a mlll-
ary campaign would be too much HKo nn
open book for the ejes of the vigilance o
this band , which has long ago taken pre
cautions against Just such a move on the
iart of outraged Justice.
The people of America , excepting those
who are acquainted with the history and
methods of the McCarthy band , will probably
smile incredulously when told there exists
within the bounds of their nation an organi
zation of criminals , held In absolute control
3) a man whose generalship. Inventive nbll
Ity ami remarkable personality are equal to
many of the most famous generals of olden
and modern times , a man whose exploits
inako those of Jesse James and leaders of
tils stripe seem like child's play , and whose
Influence Is felt not only In the territory
: io harasses , but In the marts of the greatest
American cities. Will hot the smile change
Into a look of wonder when It Is told that
the men under the government of this king
of ibandlts live In a fortress more impreg-
nbalo than the walled city of Acres , or the
Ilock of Gibraltar ; whoso natural protection
is enhanced by artificial means in keeping
with the most fantastic dreams of Jules
Verne , and whoso Interior , in Its rich and
gorgeous fittings , would "turn " green with
envy the owner of the fabled cave of.Monto
Crlsto ? And jet these things arc told , and
almost proven , by men of veracity. Few ,
Indeed , have visited It , but those who
lid , and were able to conquer the fear they
felt at the power of Tom McCarthy , swear
to stories which received often the laugh ol
ncredullty.
The people havo'VoTne to the conclusion
that the only way to deal with the gang is
through men as wary as they. The posses
to ibo sent against them will not besiege
the locks which hold the gang , hut they
will depend more upon killing the members
one by one.as they venture out for sup
plies They will try to Invest the place
and etarvo out the outlaws. They may bo
successful , but It will not be done , ac
cording to the Judgment of people who know
In a few dajs or weeks. It Is generally
believed that there will bo bloodshed or
both sides before the object of the legis
lature Is accomplished.
Klnir Tom MuCnrlli ) .
Tom McCarthy , the leader of the Blue
Mountain robbers , or the 'Ulole In the Wai
society , " as it Is often called , has beei
called the Napoleon of outlawry. Ills origin
is In doubt , but it Is known that he Is
wanted In several paits of the country for
crimes of unusual atrocity. Ills appearance
is anything but prepossessing. He is about
five feet six Inches In height and weighs 173
pounds. His forehead is narrow and for
bidding and covers de p-set , gray eyes. A
fold of fat curls over the point of his chin
His mouth Is wide and his teeth nio Irregu
lar. Ills nose is a pug and his cars are
turned forward.
AVith a small follow IUE McCarthy perpe
trated several mall and express robberies a
number of years ago on stage coaches over
the Utah desert nnd In the mountains. It
was his first appearance In the country in
this role , and before long hl.s daring exploits
gathered about him a choice company of
criminals from the neighboring states anil
territoiles. After moving about considera
bly , nhvays puisued by the sheriffs , the com
pany settled In a certain point of the IHue
mountains , on the line between Colorado and
Utah. The loss of some of the most daring
of his comrades had seemed to give Mc
Carthy an Idea of establishing a rendezvous
where ho might retreat when sorely pressed.
Miners and prospectors have In n number
of Instances wandered close upon the re
treat of the bandits , and have always been
warned away , and never molested If their
business In the locality was clearly peace
ful. A few have engaged in a ( Ight with
the outlaws , who were retreating to their
granite fortress , and have lived to < cll
about It. From these bources a faint Idea
has been gained of the character of the
place. Now and then one of the band ,
while visiting a town not many miles a\viy ,
has revealed a number of things In his cups.
The c.\act locality of the retreat of Mc
Carthy and his men Is not known , though
there arc persona who could guldo a party
within three or four miles of It. The path
runs through1 narrow canyon , and leaves
it at n practically wild and tortuous place
for a serpentine ( rail running a mlle or
more up and down the heights. Again at
the end of this trail , there Is a passageway
blasted and cut through solid rock The
termination of this shorter pathway brings
the robber to the entrance of < ho gathering
place , whlth is nothing less than a great
cave or amphitheater in the center of the

tunnels , their openings artfully concealed ,

and their other ends terminating ni one or

known from statements made by miners and '
mechanics who were taken by the gang to i
do the work , and who were blindfolded while
approaching and leaving the place
