THE CITY OF THE HOLY FAIT Logends and Sights of Santa Fe, the Ancient. THE CUSTODIAN OF THE PALACE. A Quaint O1d Yankee Among Spanish Documents of Centuries Past ~Romantic History and Curious Tradition, Boenes in Santa Fe. SANTA F'E, N. M., June 12.—[Special to Tur Bek.|—Santa Fe, city of the Holy Faith, oldest town in the presi- dent’s domain and quaintest of them all, whata storehouse of antiquities for a sightseer. In the wintor the tide of Californin travel naturally seeks the southern channel in its ebb and flow between the snow bound east and the sun_kissed slope. This city of the Spaniard and the Pueblo and the Ameorican is a little aside from the through route, and many pass it by. Others stop in their flight from pneu- monia long enough to say they ‘‘have geen Santa Fe,” but they flit hither and hence again, and it is doubtful if many of them get half what the place offers them for their money. Its history is romance, but the traveling American hos little time or place for that sort of thing, excent it be set down in the guide book, that blessed fount and in- spiration for letter and tale. The city of the Holy Faith is full of THE STRANGE AND TIE ANTIQUE, and the traveler whose sojourn there is yet a dream awaiting fulfillment, as well as many who have *'seen” it, will be interested in a brief account of some of its sights and legends. One of the uaintest things in the old odd town is the custodian of tha paldce, that pile of mud which has been the ecentral figure in ‘three centuries of history. Although it can hardly be said of him that he has rown up with the tow, he is of a ver- fty one of the ‘‘oldest inhabitants” among the Americans, having been a resiaent for thirty or forty years. Shag- gy of head, ragged of beard and careless of attire, he is a relic among the relics, » fit custodian of his kind. He has sharge of such archives as come down irom the Spanish conquerors, Mexican genornls and American governors who ave ruled the city in centuries now dead, and with true Yankee inqusi- tiveness, he spent years in learning Bpanish and poring over the ancient documents. The old man is a mine of curious lore, and he has that easy Joquacity which is 80 de- lightful in a man with a hobby—if the listener happens to be in- terested in that particular hobby. Show an interest in the palace, its his- tory or its contents, display a becomin, deference to the old man’s wisdom ani Jdmportance, and the floodgates of his knowledge are uyrmn to you. He will talk familiarly of forgotien Spaniards with unpronouncable names, of wars of rebellion and wars of subjugation, of pueblos und dons and plazas, and in his narration some of these obscure events acquire an importance second only to the discovery of America. Probably the only reason they are second is be- cause without the find of Columbus they could not have had existence. In his enthusiasm he may take the apprecia- tive visitor into one of the “LEGISLATIVE HALLS.” It is a stuffy little room in dust-cov- ered confusion, and might be mistaken for a deserted country school house. A dozen or two of cheap desks and chairs are scattered helter skelter. The desk of the presidin, enius stands awry on its dais. he intruders leave footprints as sharp as though treading in snow, The room is bure and ugly and uninviting, but there are stacks of documents piled haphaz- zard on floor or furniture, and in them are bundles of human interest. Years ago an ignorant vandal, an American governor be it confessed in shame, un- dertook to rid the palace of its precious stores by selling some for paper rags and making a bonfire of others, but enough remain to satisfy the average tourist’s appetite for documentary an- tiquivies. Give the old custodian a bit of en- couragement and he will launch forth in a dissertation upon the curious papers scattered about. It is enough to glance inquiringly at one of THE OLD PARCHMENTS. If your curiosity prompt you to dy; down through the sun of a dish-llkg spot that stands out jn relief you will unearth, liberalley. a big wax seal that will set your guide’s garrulous tongue wagging with the deeds of some old don or fighter, forgotten by all . the world but this doting biblomaniac, and from differeut documents he may have gathered enough about the ancient buccaneer to make a fascina- ting history. The old man can tell an interesting story on the subject of rubricas alone. A rubrica is a distinguishing mark that the Spanish official attached to his signature—a trade mark, as it were— to ‘:ruvo its genuiness. Tho custodian will pick up a document with a signa- ture having beneath it a flourish like n:i elongated figure 8. Another ends with a spiral flourish, and a third has curly-cues on top, and here the guide will explain a rule or law of the olden times among the Spaniards of America. An official document, to be genuine and of force, had to be signed with the rubrica of the person promulgating the paper. While an official order signed with a name only was adoubtful author- ity, a document "bearing only the ru- brica of the official was just as bindin, as though it hud both name an rubrica. 1If the visitor want a flavor of Spain and of Mexico he should not fail to invoke the willing guidance of the yankee eustodian,if, happily,he be yet in charge of the palace, The principal points of interest in Bnnta Feure so closely linked with the history of the place that its story is worth tolling. It néed not be a regula- “tion hhuux'—n tedious unremember- able list of dates and rulers, of wars and reprisals, of politics and statistics—but just. a touch and go sketch of those lead- ng facts which throw a flood of interest upon the IUSTORIC PLACES IN THE CITY, Among the latter are the palace, San Miguel church, the cathedral, the p}lzn and thehpuohlo. never mlmopting, ‘ot course, the strange people, their sbodes and their cum.«mw.p° B It is an odd coincidence that St Augustine and Santa Fe, so widely dif- ferent and so far apart, should have been settled by Spaniards about the some time; but the patriotic resident of the western town not only claims the oldest city in the United Statos, but the oldest house and the oldest church. . He insists that that part of the old In- dian Pueblo which still remains is at least 850 years old, and that San Miguel, though scveral times partially de- wroyed, also dates back nearly three III'(’l' a hulf conturies. But this is antici- ng. ‘When Cortez and his mourauders uered Mexico, they found many Mrinkets of gold and silver among the : THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, north, and told dazs |I:J stories of the richness of the mines that region. Those ola Spanish invaders were not fighting for glory. Nor did they come to America for their health. They were after gold, always gold, and the, didn’t seem to mind a thousand mile walk to seek it. First among the European expWrep of the north was Nunez. He Was followed by Eu&o;ju T onado (“The Crowned”), Cabeza de Vaca (**Cow’s Hend"'), and others. AN INDIAN LEGEND, Judge Savage, of Omaha, has related in & paper before the Nebraska State Historical society one of vhe traditions of that time. According to that logend an Indian came to Coronado with a tale of a country far to the northward ruled by{ln mighty monarch named Tartarax, who lived in marvelous splendor. The Indiar said that gold was so common a8 to be used for cooking utensils, and the warrjors of the northern king wore hel- (“Looking Glass,” a !nmlby name), mets and bore shields made of the | vrecious matal. [ired bf the tale of golden ‘gplondor, Coronado collected a band of men and marched across the sandy plains of New Mexico nnd the gruh‘loa of Kansas in search of the king- | om of gold. Of course ho failed to find Tartarax, but the judge has it that ho planted a cross somewhere on the bauks of the Platte in Nebraska and took pos- session of the country in the name of Spain. Other traditions lay Coronado’s course -farther to the west, and it is hikely he went ns far north s Colorado Springs. Scattered through New Mexico he found Indians or Aztecs or Tilters or Pueblos, living in houses (ad-o-bes) clustered in villages (Pu-eb- los). At the point now known as Santa F'e he found a big pueblo built on both banks of a considerable stream for that country. They were & peaceful people and engnged fn farming of & rude sort. The date of this ovent is placed at 1540, nearly seventy-five years before the ' first Iinglish settlemeat at Jamestown. Coronado found little or no gold, but on his return to Moxico his story of populous towns fired the zeal of the catholic friars, those heralds of civiliza- tion in Spanish erica,and thoy made their way northward to convert the heathen tothe truefaith. Here beginsa TALE OF ATROCITY common to all Spanish conquests in America. The priests were followed by an army of free booters, with a cross in one hand and asword in the other. The natives were generously ALLOWED TO TAKE THEIR CIOICE. After capturing the pueblo within the limits of what is now known as Santa Fe, the invaders reduced the Indians of the surrounding country to abject slavery and Lurnes their souls over to the care of the frinrs. The natives were driven before the lash to till the fields, work the mines and carry water. Tradition tells of atrocities cruel as those of ancient Egypt and barbarous Assynia. But the red peons wero not submissive, and their masters had to fight frequently to maintain their su- remacy. There were many rebellions, but none had more than a transcient suc- cess until 1680, The Spaniards were driven from Santa Fe and kept out twelve years. Then followed one of the pathetic and remarkable incidents of American history. Grievous wrongs and bitter hatred led to the expulsion of the cruel invaders, but the natives resorted to a simple, though extreme wmeusure, in the hope of diverting the cupidity of the Spaniards. The Indians filled up the mines, carefully covered up all traces of them and threatened death to any of their num- ber who should reveal their locations to the white man. THE PATHOS OF THIS HATE and desperation is worthy passing con- templation. Thus ended Spanish min- ing in New Mexico. Not only did the drift and accumulations of twelve years effectually hide many traces, but there scems tp have been some sort of agree- ment on the return of the Spaniards to power that they should not reopen the mines. Of late years the enterprising American has been searching for the last diggings with some success. From 1693 up to the American occu- pation in 1846, a long line of Spanish and Mexican governers, each supported by a little band of fellow countrymen, lorded it over the land of the Pueblos. It was a rebellious people, however, who frequently kicked against the pricks of the oppressor, and oven as late as 1837 the Indians KICKED SPANISH HEADS ABOUT THE STREETS of Santa Fe like footballs. The first ankee to visit the city of the Holy ‘aith was a fur trader, who strugglea in about 1800. Fivo orsix year’s later Lieutenant Pjke, he of Pike’s Peak re- nown, startled the hidalgos by an unex- pected visit at the head of a company of Americans. But Pike was exploring, and not on hostility bent. Santa Fe came into coutrol of the United States in 1846, at the outbreak of the war with Mexico,when General Kearney marched overland with 1,600 men and took pos- session of the old town.

A Bit of Reallsm Not Seen on the Stage. DR. TALMAGE AND HIS BANJO. How the Great Preacher Entertained a Reportor Who Oalled on Him— Greeley and the Farmer— Coolness tn Dangor. Ounrrent Aneodotos, Congressman Houk, of Tenneseoe, is wearing a new suit of clothes, says a Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune. The more stdtement of this fact will not, probably, strike the people who have not the pleusure of Judge Houk’s acquaintande as one of much importance or significance. But ! Houk’s everyday friends know better, and unless they have seen him lately they will hardly credit the-news, The truth is that he is a man so_careless in his attire and so indifferent to his por- sonal nppearance that a single new out- ward garment isan évent in Houk’s life; the donning of an entire new suit at once marks an epoch. It came about in this wise: The judge was walking in Pennsylvania avenue recently with a couple of western friends, when he was accostod- by a tramp whese raiment might have been fashionable and new on the day cf Jackson’s first inaugura- tion, ‘' 'Scuse me, may I interrupt you for a moment? Will you give me the price of o meal?” Houk promptly rephed: ‘‘f am sorry, boss, but 1 can’t help you. I've just been trying to get the price of a meal from these gentlemen. I haven’ had a mouthful of victuals to-day.” “‘Well, I say, pard, you look it,” re- ugonded the tramp,as he sidled up to the congressmau and looked him dver. ‘‘Here’s a quarter; you are worse oif than I am.” Judge Houk declined the proffered charity. but he suddenly decided that if his appearance was such us to excite the commiseration and benevolence of a Washington tramp it was time for him to visit a tailor, and he lost no time n doing so. I don’t vouch for this story, but *they say” that Houk tells iton himself, and if so it’s true, for the sturdy East Tennesseean is as truthful as he is both wise and witty. An old duchess on one occasion re- quested Dr. Abernethy to puy a profes- sional visit to her house. The doctor went as requested and was introduced into the drawing-room, where the duchess, with tears in her oyes, showed him an ugly little monkey, apparently 1u great agony, lying on elegant cush- ions and almost buried in lovely laces. The doctor felt thoroughly diszusted at being called upon to act as a monke; doctor. He felt the monkey’s pul silence, examined it with attention soon recognized the nature of its ill- ness; then, perceiving the lady’s grand- son in a corner of the drawing-room rolling abouton the carpet,h dvanced toward the child, éxamined him also, felt his pulse, and, returning to the duchess, said to her in a grave manner: “Madam, your ‘two son§ arve suffering from indigestion. By drinking tea and living on a pluin diet thoy will soon re- cover.” Afd, bowing profoundly to the stupefied duchess, the dootor retired, avenged.’ A descendant of General Artemas Ward of revolutionary fame says: “Many people thought the genial hu- morist, Artemus Ward, was a member of our family, He was not. As the as- sumption of the name of the old general annoyed us we spoke to the humorist about it and he said: ‘When I took the name I did not know the general,’ and then, when told that he was one of the revolutionary generals, he said: ‘Well, that’s the first I knew of it; youthful education sadly neglected; but see here, T’ll do the best thing T can for the old hero. I can’t very well change my name now, but I'll put inau in the name Arte:zas and droo the a.’ ”? *On the birthday of Napoleon Charles, son of Louis Napoleon and Charles, and a child whom the- Emperor Napoleon meant to make his heir, he and his mother were seated at o window in the palace which opened upon the grand avenue. A heavy shower had fallen, and the avenue was full of pools of water. A arnu{) of barefooted children were out there in the waterand playing with little chip boats. The young rince, richly dressed, in a splendid hall, and surrounded by his elegant and costly birthday presents, turned cave- lessly away from his toys and watched the children with eager interest. **So then, my son,” said his mother, “you are not grateful for your presents.” Oh, yes,” replied the young prince, #but I am s0 used to toys. Look at those iittle boys, mamma.” ¥ “Do _you wish for money to give them?” “l’fmu. gave me enough this morn- ing.” Hv\’ell.whnl, ails you, my ¢hild? What do you want?” “Oh,” said the young prince, hesitat- ingly: “I kuow you won’s, let me, but if I could go out and play in those beauti- ful puddles, 1t would amuse me a hun- dred times more than all my elegant toys. O, please let me go,” So the real enjoyments are not always the most costly, and poor children en- joy liberties unknown to some' rich ones. A desire to see more closely the man who has given us sucli plensfire in na- turdl and excusable. 8o much may be urged in excuse for the numbers that often besiege the stage door.of the Ly- ceum. says W. P. frith in “his autobi- ography, their object bsinf a nearer sight and peahaps a word with the hero or neroine of the evening, *Oh, Miss Terry, it-is so kind of you to speak to us! We do admjre you so! ‘We have been waiting so long! “When do you think Mr. Irving is likely to leave the theater?” *That is more than 1 can say. Idon't think he has begun his supper yet.” “Oh, do tell us what he has for sup- per,” said a shrill voice. “Well,” said the naughty Miss Terry, gravely, “‘let me see. To-night—well, to-night, I think it is tripe and onions.” Tripe and onions! Charles I, after his pathetio parting with his children— when the tears chased each other down his face—eating tripe and onions! Apropros of Horace Greeley’s in- fluence in the west a correspondent of the Tribune tells this story: In Aberdeen I ran scross an old man who lrvloriel in an experience with Mr, Gree! ui.m the story of which every one who meets him 18 expected to listen. He was an Iowa pioneer, He had lived in New England, and once he heard Mr. Greeley lecture on the west. That settled him, " He took a homestead in Towa, near a little town which he soon came to look upon as the best and grandest spot on _the footstool. While visiting jew York afterwards he thought he would call on Mr, Greeley about “Kolly Pint.” *So % the Tribune buildin’,” he says, “‘an’ w'en it come my turn I wont inter theroem where Mr. Greeley was. I guess th an_that was in the room before me" Hust have riled him some, for he looked mad,an’ jest give mea nod a8 much as ter say, ‘speak quick!’ So I sailed in. I fole him he was the means o’ mi' goin’ west, and I'd settled at ‘Kolly P'utd an’ it was the finest place in the m‘mtr , an’ he orter put a prece in the papd g;; n’ 80. ** ‘Leos’ séti! soz’0, ‘aint that the town where ninaithen was kilt by a despor- ado a little while ergo?’ **Well thoy had been a little kinder squabblo theFa on account of a cows puncher ridin’ aroun’ town shootin’ people, an’ I a'pose they was somebody got hurt. So I sez: ‘Yes, that’s the town,’ and he gave a grunt. [ see thon thet I had ter 'polergize for the cow- puncher, so I sez, sez I: ‘Kolly P’int iz & splendid place, Mr, Greeley. It has the finest soil, the finest air, you ever see, It don’t need nothin’in the worl’ ceppen’ a little good serciety an’a lit~ tle rain,’ * ‘Hump!’ hell needs!’” Horace Vernet, the artist, was going from Versailles to Paris by railway. In the same compartment with him were two ladies whom he had never seen be- fore, but who were evidently acquainted with him, They examined him minute- ly and commented freely on his martial bearing, his hale old age, the style of bis dress, ete, They continued their annoyance until finaily the painter de- termined to put on end to the persecu- tion. As the train passed through the tunnel of St. Cloud, the three travelers were wrapped in complete darkness. Vernet raised the back of his hand to his mouth and kissed it twice violently. On cmerging from the obscurity he found that the ladies had withdrawn their attention from him, and were ac- cusing each other of having been kissed by & man in the dark. Presently thoy arrived in Paris, and Vernet on leaving them said: *‘Ladies, 1 shall be puzzled all my life by the in- quiry, which of these two ladies was it that kissed me?” ‘When Charles Dudley Warner, says the March Book Buyer, was the editor of the Hartford (Conn.) Press, back in the “‘sixties,” arousing the patriotism of tho state with his vigorous appeals, one of the type-setters came in from the composing-room and, planting him- self before the editor, said: Vell, Mr. Warner, I've decided to enlist in the army.” With mi ed sonsations of pride and responsibility, Mr. Warner replied encouragingly that he was glad to sec the man felt the call of duty. **Oh, it isn’t that,” said the truthful compositor; **but. I'd rather be shot than try to set any more of your blanked copy.” Thus we see notunly that men hud different motives for going to the war, but also that one’s unconscious influence is sometimes stronger than his formal effort. We also get an idea of Mr. Warner's hand- writing rather different from that sug- gested by his autograph. The factis that he is such a quick and nervous writer that it is not possible for his pen to take a ligible course and keep up with the flow, of his ideas, and so long as there is ng, war for the compositors to flee to, the world is enabled event- ually to read what be hus written. sez’'e, ‘that’'s all The late centenurian, M. Chovreul, although cne of the patrous of photog- raphy, vefused during the greater part of his longlife to have'his picture taken. Not until 1883, when in his ninety- seventh year, did :he overcome this an- tipatby. It happened, as he wrote w friend, in the following manner: *“I entered the carringe to go to the insti- tute, when a gentleman in the politest manner possible addressed me: ‘Mon- sieur Chevreul, vou can do me the great- est service,” I replied that I wasin a grent hurry, but he persisted and begged permission to_accompany me in my carringe. I acceded to his request. He had scarcely taken his place at my side, however, when he said: ‘Monsieur Chevreul, you can be my foriune or my ruio. I am a photographer.’ I wem- bled, but he added: ~ ‘The emperor of Brazil (vou know Dom Pedro, who is a true savant and who decorated me with the Order of the Rose), wishes to have your photograph, and if T succed in ob- taning your permission my future is assured.” Icould not resist him,and in the name of Dom Pedro accompa- nied the photographer to his studio.” Lord William Lennox 1n his “Recol- lections” tells a story of the coolness of the duke of Wellington. The French, with a fresh force double thatof the duke, were. closing in upon his jaded troups one stormy night in Sp Wellington completed his preparation and then turning to a scout asked “How l°"fi will it bo pefore they can reach us? ‘*Half an hour,” was the reply. 0%Then I can go to sleep,” he said, and wrapping his cloak about him he dropped where ho stood in the muddy trench and in an instant was asleep. He wole when the bugles of the cnemy sounded in his ears, Napoleon, his soldiers were accus- tomed to declare, not only slept soundly when uader five, but even when niding on horseback. General Grant also had the same faculty of falling instantly asleep even in the face of danger. This singular physical trait is not more a proof of courage than a cause forit. Thebrain in these brief mo- ments of sleep finds now vitality and wakens ready for the conflict again. A story is told of a famous English admiral, Sir Sydoey Smith, whose ship, the Antelope, in~ a terrible storm in the North sea was driven among the rocks. Sir Sydney summoned his offi- cers to the cabin, “Gentlemen, you know our condition. We are driving on to the breakers., I aciknowledge ‘that I can do wothing more.
