It also time In Havana, has written the fol- consists of a pedestal with a t T I' lowing Interesting letter to her parents, |y carved shaft, at the top Mr. and Mrs. 8. D. Smith, of Atlanta. 8he writes: I promised to write you nil about the big cemetery here, the Cristobal Colon, It Is called, from Christopher Columbus, I presume. Formerly the people were all burled In catacombs. They rented a little shelf for a certain length time, from five to ten years, and, when their lease expired, their bones and ashes were thrown in the waste plies. Now they are destroying this place, os It Is In the city, and nil persons are burled with much pomp and cere mony In the new cemetery. It Is one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world and Is full of the most beautiful specimens of carving nnd statuary. Is surrounded by a high wall of solid stone and is entered through an arched gateway, which Is divided In three di visions. each one large enough for a hearse to pass. Above the central gate Is a sculptured panel representing the crucifixion, and Inlaid on each side of the arch Is a panel representing Colum bus bringing light to the world. The most beautiful of all the monu ments to ms was the one In memory of Maximo Gomes y famllla. This one Is a simple stone of blnck'marble, yet so commanding and dignified that It Is the first one seen. It has the head of Gomes in profile has relief In brass on one side. The members of his family lie under slabs of black marble with the brass handles that all the slabs have, so that after one hundred years the grave can be opened and If the previous life has been a pious one and If the body shows no signs nf decomposition the person can be made a saint. Jean d'Arc has JUst recently been made u saint. Another beautiful monument Is the one raised by popular subscription to the eight students of the university whd were shot down by the Spaniards for scratching the tomb of a cruel Spanish governor with a pin. The hi ther of one of tho boys offered the weight of his son In gold for a ransom, hut' he wns refused. This monument consists of a pedestal supporting a tall shaft, which Is draped In a mantle nnd a wreath. One of the pedestals Is the winged figure of Innocence bearing in her hands a tablet with tho word. "Immunla"—guiltless. On each side if tho shaft are two figures representing Juatlre and history. The scales of Jus tice ore unevenly tipped and her sword Is broken. The firemen's monument Is another is an angel supporting the lifeless body of a fireman. At the corners of the pedestal are figures representing devo tlon, affliction, martyrdom and heroism. They have put the heads of the firemen In has relief all around the pedestal. There were thirty of these men who lost their llvps In a large warehouse Are here about fifteen years ago. There Is an octagon shaped dhapcl for the prayers for the dead, which stands In the center of the cemetery. It Is reached by a long avenue of tall pine trees. Several of the tombs are chapels In themselves with a small prle-dleu Inside. On many of the stones were the let ters, "E. P. D.”—"He rests In peace" n "K. G. E."—translated means, "He Is In grace." • Then we saw the tombs of the poorer class. So pathetic and simple. Most of the stones are made at home and are only a cross made of a kind of plaster. The cross Is highly colored, usually light blue, and has bright shells worked Into It. Sometimes the toys of the babies are also made Into-the cross, and often the picture. These graves were rather neglected, but those of the richer class were shin ing white with recent scrubbings and were covered with wreaths of bisque flowers. The Colon cemetery Is • one of the largest and finest In the world.. It stands on fhe top of a high hill over looking Vedado and the gulf and Is en closed by a thick stone wall. Some very fine specimens of statuary are there. You would like Cuba-—It’s so -much like Florida I saw one of the prettiest sunsets last night I ever saw In my life. There was not a single cloud In the sky and as tho sun went down It got larger and larger until at the horlson It was an Immense balloon of fire. I was down at the seashore at the time and the sun was setting behind the water. AH around the “edge” of the sea the sky was a beautiful shade of lavender shad ing from the deep purple directly about the sun. The rest of the sky wns al most as fiery as the sun. They told roe If I had only stayed a little longer that I would have seen a green flash after the last tip of the sun had dipped be neath the horlson. Home think that this "flash" Is an optical Illusion and others think It I a fact. A French consul here wns the first one to dls cover II. It must be a cloudless day or the "flash" cun not be seen. nnd bonbnns served were also In this shape. The bride-elect wns presented with a silver grip murker, and the ladles' prize was a hat pin. The prize for gentle men was a silver hat marker. Mrs. Hurt wore an old rose gown, made prlncesse und fashioned with lace, and Miss Hattie Mny High's gown wns a charming one of white mar quisette, with bertha of reul lace. MIS8 LOVETTE’S PARTY.
