Down another dark passareway, un- derneath a house, the muffied rhythm of beating tom-toms was heard, and soon there appeared three fantastic fig- ures, robed in elaborately decorated white blanket. and wearing head dresses and masks the like of which I had never seen.- They were dancers in every sense of the word, and their graceful pirouettes were most pleasing | to 1ook upon. Two of them were gir and the third was a young man. Their performance wa: to propitiate the devils who were besetting the Zunis, and before they had completed the circuit of the small plaza they were worked up to a fever heat of excite- ment. Following them came sixty men in re- splendent dresses of savage finery, all chanting the rhythm of the air an- nounced by the priest. Two of them |earried tom-toms and the time they kept was absolutely perfect. Hundreds of blanketed Indians thronged the housetops and looked on. Kach one kept time to the music with hand or foot and apparently understood the meaning of the greater part of what he saw. | The medicine man again appeared | with his sacred meal and marked two crosses upon the ground in the middle The chanting broke forth < and the dancing became ind_faster. the acting high priest rena, turned first toward then faster Just at dus entered the the east, then toward the west, toward Ta’ Yll'ani, chanted a brief prayer, and the dancers hurriedly de- parted through a passageway leading | in the direction of the largest estufa in the village. I attempted to follow them, but could not for the simple reason that by the time I had clambered down from the roof every one of them had disappeared. I was informed, however, that during the night the dance would be resumed in the estufa, but that no spectators were allowed, at any rate, no and that white people would not be welcomed. We waited until almost midnight, frequently passing the estia and look- ing in, but saw only the priests and their acolytes sitting silently in rows, chanting and smoking. At midnight, however, the signal for the resumption of the dance was given. The silent pe- riod between dusk and this hour was evidently required for thought, prayer and consideration, in order that the further course of the dance might be correctly determined. The estufa contained two rooms, or, more properly, one large room and an anteroom, where the dance parapher- nalia was kept. The main room was perhaps fifty by twenty feet. Two rows of twenty-one men each were formed down the center of this room. They were naked, except a breech- clout, and their bodies were fancifully painted. The acting high priest took his stand at the head of the file, and each man took up a stick about two feet long, the upper end of which was ornamented with three waving turkey plumes. The lower end, to a length of fifteen inches, was whittled into the shape of a huge paper knife, rounded at the point. These wooden blades were very smooth, were about two inches wide and slightly curved. ‘While our entrance to the estufa was not resisted, yet I am convinced that the blue uniforms and bright shoulderstraps of the cavalry officers who accompanled me were the open sesame, ‘We were cautioned not to touch any of the dancers or any of their para- phernalia, as such action would result ir._dire misfortune. The priest and two of the medicine men carried pine trees about eight feet high, the lcwer ends of which were shaped into biades, like the sticks in the hands of the men. The dance lasted more than an hour. The muscu- lar movements of the dancers’ bodies, the weird native music, the thumping of the tom-toms and shrill notes of the chant as announced by the priests, the writhing, sinuous contortions .through which they worked themselves, the fanatical fervor which permeated everything—all these were noteworthy Zunis, | |and can be seen nowhere else. But the | canclusion of the dance was the most sensational and startling feature of it | all. | At a shrill cry from the priest, every plumed stick was raised on high and instantly thrust entirely down the| }lhrnnls of the dancers, only to be as| | quickly withdrawn amidst hissing, | gurgling sounds and writhing contor- tions, as the chant and time of the dance increased in vigor. Again and again were the wooden blades buried in the throats of the dancers, up to | their very hilts. Some of the men were bleeding freely, but all were dancing furiously. { Then the priest took up the trees, | and, poising them for an instant, plunged their sharpened ends into their gullets, meanwhile uttering the most horrible guttural cries. | It was a slght almost beyond belief, | here in the midst of modern civiliza- | tion. It is a relic of an almost forgot- | ten age of barbarism, so remote that | | its original significance will perhaps | never be known. | And in another estufa occurred the | final tests for the fanatics who had danced so many days. Again double line was formed; again the chant was resumed; again the woes of | the Zunis were rehearsed, and again | self-torture was administered, but this | time, worse than before. The medicine | man and the priest entered, bearing | bowls of live coals. As they passed to | | and fro, along the lines, the dancers | caught up the glowing embers in their | naked hands and thrust them into | their mouths. and the smell of scorching flesh was | sickening—then the ceremony ended. | W.

Already $160,000 has been expended in improving the island.

Already the island is widely known in inity as a summer resort. It has excellent shooting and fishing, and Mr. Dobie was offered $1000 for the privi- Jege of duck shooting for last season. There 1s also salt and natural gas on the island, but these products have never been developed. The island is midway between Windsor being about eight miles from each. It is eight miles long by three-quarters of a mile wide, and has an area of 2500 IGHTING ISLAND, in the Detroit River, has been bought by a syndicate of Chicagoans with a view to transforming it into the ‘‘Monte Carlo of America.” The island is a part of Canada, and the promoters hope to steer clear of Canadian laws and run the place as a wide-open racing and gambling resort. It will be, if the ideas of the men backing the venture reach real- jzation, a combination of Monte Carlo and Coney Island on a grand scale. George Dobie was the principal owner of the island. The price paid was somewhere between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000. The plans of the promoters include a racing track on the fsland, which will attract the best horseflesh in the coun- try and where races and peolselling may go on seven days a week, beyond the enactment of the Illinois Legislature or any authority of Uncle Sam. Sideshows in the line of gambling attractions will be provided to meet the tastes of the most daring speculators, and the new owners of the place hope the island will be the most popular resort for acres. It was once known as Des-Chree-Shos-Ka Island, members of the gambling fraternity on the American con- an Indian name meaning “Everything is here,” but for gome reason unknown the name was changed years ago to Fighting Island.

F | Contractors Warren & Malley Have at Last Commenced Work in Removing the Hogs Back. Contractors Warren & Malley have made a start in removing the “hogs back at the north end of Polk street. The | commencement of this work after a de- lay of one year since the contract was let is gratifying news to the Polk street ants, who have labored so assidu- y to have the street cut through. When this Is finished Polk street .will have a opening to the waters of e P the bay, and that will afford a more di- rect means of reaching the business por- tion of the city, besides giving people who reside at the north end a chance to purchase goods on Polk street. The material taken from this cut Is being dumped into the inclosure lately bulkheaded by the heirs of the estate or J.
