We recently presented to our readers
engravings of the above historic struc*
tores, descriptions of which were delayed
in transit from onr correspondent at
Mexico. The following will be fcund of
deep Interest to many readers of the
Bunny South:
The city of Mexico, situated in a valley
snnoonped by mountains, in the gnat
n of Mexico. 7 400 feet above the
M of the sea, forms, with its array of
towers and domes, one of the most mag
nificent and picturesque scenes on the
American continent. On the north of
the Plana do Armas, the main square,
' the Cathedral founded by Philip
yt. of Spain under the order of Pope
Clement VII. given In 1530. The build
Inc occupies the same site where stood
tha great temple of the Aztecs, called
Tbooalli. It was commenced In 1670 and
finished in 1667. Ha coat waa (2,000,000,
mI waa defrayed by the Kings of Spain,
Philip II., Philip III., Philip IV., and
Charles II. It measures 133 varas from
north to south, and 64 versa from east
to west. Its Interior architecture is of
the Doric characteristic of Spain in the
16th century. Within it are 14 chapels,
and 74 arches of its 51 domes are support
ed by 20 columns 64 feet high and 14 feet
in circumference. The octagonal cupola
in the center la frescoed with representa
tions from sacred history.
It haa two magnificent organa of lm
mease proportions, whose harmonious,
solemn notes on great feast days ecno
with wonderful effect through the aisles
of the great edifice. The interior of the
cathedral on these days is resplendent
with golden crucifixes, candlesticks,
chandeliers with a thousand lights and
rellcaries of precious stones. The ronf is
frescoed with splendid paintings. The
building has six large doors, three on the
south and one on each of the other car
dlnal points. It ts surmounted by two
magnificent towers 190 feet high, of
Doric and Ionic architecture, and on
three sides lovely gardens front it.
This, the grandest Catholic temple in
America, in the old days and up to 1S61
possessed great riches lu its ornaments.
The principal sacred enstody was of
gold, and had in front 5 872 diamonds,
ind on the reverse 2.653 emeralds, 514
rabies, 1C6 amethysts and 28 sapphires,
the whole valued at (150 000. Another
enstody had 3 400diamonds, 1 400cmeralds
and 850 pearls. The large gold enp of the
sacrament had 1 676 aiamonds. Tne
great communion cup had 122 diamonds,
143 emeralds, 132 rubles. There were 20
other chalices, adorned with diamonds
and precious stones, and a large number
of chandeliers, candlesticks, cresses and
silver service. Most of the above were
gifts from the Emperor Charles V. The
cathedral was supposed to have in orna
ments the valae of one million dollars.
In 1861, many of the valuables articles
were taken by the Liberal government.-*
The National Palace of Mexico—witness
of a thousand changes during the tnmnla
tuocs history of the country, fronts and
occupies the whole of the eastern side or
the Plazade Armas, the Cathedral,occupy
ing the north, it embraces an Immense
block and stands on the[same site where
stood the palace of Mont- zutna.
In the partition made by the conquerors
of the city laud, this locality was allotted
to :their chief, Hernando Cortes, who
built a house on it, having hsd a special
grant for the same from the Ki og of Spain
in 1529. It remained in the possession of
the family of Cortes till 1562, when the
King bought it to serve as the Vice-Boyai
Palace.
In the early days it was called the
New Palace of Montezuma. From that
time it has been gradually enlarged to
the magnitude of its present vast pro
portions. Here are the cilices of the
president, foreign relations, treasury, in
terior, war and navy, governor of the pal
ace, commanding general of the city,
poet office, general archives, musenm,
fire department and barracks for the gar
riaon. It has several large court vuds.
It la not a very Imposing looking build
ing, only two stories, and rather com
monplace in its architectural features.
The interior has only two rooms, the
reception room ofthe president, the walls
of which are covered by a crimson satin
bearing the coat of arms of Maximilian’s
empire. This work is so fine and costly
that the Republican rulers have deemed
tt beet to leave it untouched.
The Hall of Ambassadors la a long, nar
row room occupying the whole of the
half front of the palace. It is here that
foreign ministers are received. Its walls
an covered with fine paintings repre
senting the heroes of Mexican independ
once. George Washington has a place
here also, In a painting of great worth.
In front of the palaoe, and In the cen
ter. there is a bell, now discharging the
functions of a clock, which has a carious
legend attached to it. It is said that
long, long ago, this bell hnng in the bel
fry of a town in Spain. One evening it
rang alone, without the interference of
human aid, alarming the good people of
the place. The bell was denounced be
fore the authorities and it was sentenced
to lose its tongue and be perpetually ex
iled. This cruel fiat was carried out, and
the bell was brought to Mexico, and is
now undergoing its unique destiny, save
that it serves as a clock. Two small
hammers strike on its exterior to sound
the boars. Y. Sepulveda.

Washington, Nov. 13.—This is the

the rails a part of the journey was traveled at
the rate of nearly a mile a minute. The whole
distance of 110 miles was traveled, including nec

before midnight the surging and cheering crowd
at Marquette saw something white, shapeless, a

PLOT FOR A NOVEL.
She Took a Flash-Light Photo
graph of Her Lovers.
To the Tribune’s entertaining “Library
of American Elopements” we may doubt
less add the story of Miss Eunice Marr, of
CarpeDtersville, Ala., which has just
been made public. Miss Marr is a young
lady rather under than above twenty
years in age, and of a most light and
blithesome nature. Indeed, her vivacity
and playfulness are her prominent char
acteristics. We may mention also in
passing that she is an enthusiastic ama
teur photographer. Now thia interest
ing your g lady has for come time been
receiving the earnest attentions of two
yonng men of Carpentersville, Edwin R.
Cole and Aloxzo Doubleday. Each Is an
excellent yonng man, a member of the
Young Men’s Christian Association and
a teacher in the Sunday school. Thera
was really little choice between them,
and Miss Eunice has found it impossible
to decide which one to select Under
ordinaiy circumstances she would, of
coarse, have taken the one to whom her
parents objected, but, unfortunately,
those worthy people, from some un
known reason, did not look with any
great favor on either. She did not, how
ever, allow her anxiety in deciding to
Interfere with her buoyancy of spirits.
In her extremity she hit npon this lege*
nions plan: She determined to insist on
an elopement, arranging with each of
them for the same night, and then go
with the one who arrived first. She
accordingly instructed Edwin R. Cole
to put a ladder up to the north
window of her room at 2 o’clock Tuesday
morning, and told Alonzo Doubleday to
do the same at the west window at the
same time. One must almost certainly
come a little before the other, she
argued, and the other could scarcely
Marne her for not waiting. Having thus
nettled the perplexing question satisfac
torily, she went about for the next few
days with even a lighter heart than
Mull.
Monday night, when Miss Marr retired
she set the alarm on her clock for half-
past 1. Arising at that time, she was
ready In fifteen minutes. Then she got
•nt her detective camera and pnt it in
readiness, her Idea being to take a snap
shot nt the minister during the oeremo-
ny. This attended to, she set down and
waited the arrival of the man who was to
be ber husband, with her yonng heart ia
a pardonable flutter, something which
waa doubtless increased by the pleasing
on certainty as to whether it would be
Edwin B Cole or Alonzo Doubleday. At
one minute before 2 sho heard a alight
noise outside the north window, as she
thought. She listened, and it seemed at
the west window. A horrible thought
flashed upon her. She rushed to the
north window. Edwin R. Cole was wrest
ling with a heavy ladder below. She ran
to tne west window. Alonzo Doubleday
had a Udder about half way up. She
etrpped back and panaed one moment.

A HUNDRED MILES TO THE RESCUE,
ployed at the 225 life saving stations
are on the alert for opportunities to dis
tinguish themselves in their hazardous
calling. Volumes could be written about
the heroic achievements of the United
States life saving service. The history
of this service is one of the bravest and
noblest of deeds of skill and daring com
bined, of patience, fidelity and human
ity. In a single year these 1,500
men, who are stationed at points of
danger all along the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts and throughout the lake region,
have dealt with 500 disasters of all sorts,
saved six millions or seven millions of
dollars of property in jeopardy, and,
what is more important, have saved
thousands of Human lives.
I want to tell a few stories that will
illustrate the service rendered by these
men, but I scarcely know where to start.
Superintendent Kimball and his assist
ants tell so many tales of the heroism of
their men, in whom they have a pardon
able pride, that one feels like writing
books instead of columns about them.
One of the most picturesque accounts of
rescue is that given of the manner in
which a life saving crew traveled 110
miles by special train in a blinding snow
storm and saved the lives of twenty-four
sailors.
Early in the morning of Nov. 17, 1886,
one of the worst northeasters that ever
swept over Lake Superior set in with a
bewildering storm of snow and sleet,
mounting to a gale, which scourged the
waters into appalling turbulence. The
tempest continued for more than three
days. At Marquette in the morning of
the 18tli the attention of men about the
harbor was concentrated npon a quarter
six miles to the eastward, where two
spectral shapes were appearing and then
vanishing in the storm. Soon a party of
men put a yawl boat upon a wagon and
started off on a voyage of discovery. It
was as they had surmised. They found
upon arrival that two vessels, one a
large steam barge, the Robert WaJJace,
and the other her consort, the schooner
David Wallace, were stranded. The
heavy seas were breaking over both ves
sels, and the men on board were iu con
stant expectation of their crafts going to
pieces under the blows of the monstrous
waves.
The suffering and peril of the sailors
had gone home to every heart, and the
citizens engaged in a series of almost
frantic efforts to save them. They
manned the yawl and put out through
the terrible surf with a rope in tow,
held by their comrades on shore. Quick
ly they were thrown upon the beach by
the angry waters. Undaunted, they

the imperiled men that efforts were still
being made for their rescue. Amid the
general despair it had occurred to one
man—Capt. Frink, of the tug Gillette—
that a last resort lay in invoking the aid
of the nearest life saving crew. He had
indeed telegraphed some hours before to
Keeper Albert Oclia, of the Ship Canal
station. The message reached the keeper
at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. He and
his men at once sprang to work. In an
hour they had the lifeboat, the Lyle
gun and other apparatus loaded npon
the deck of the tug which had brought
them the message from Houghton. Hie
tog then steamed away to Houghton,
where a special train, composed of two
flat cars and a passenger coach, was
waiting for them. As soon as possible
the lifeboat and the other apparatus
were loaded on the cars, there being
plenty of willing hands to lend assist
ance, and at a quarter of 8 o’clock the
train started on its journey through
the snow and ice. A description of
what followed, written by Capt. O’Con
nor, now dead, is worth quoting:
The noblest descriptive powers would find •
fitting subject in tbe epic Journey of the life aev-
flres on the shore. The Lyle gun was immedi
ately placed in position and' a line fired across
the steam barge amidships, but it appears the
men on board could not venture aft to make use
of it, as the waves were sweeping over the vessel.
So the keeper concluded to resort to the lifeboat.
It was 2 o’clock in the morning when the launch
waa made. There were two reefs to cross and
the surf was terrible. By the time the first reef
had been crossed the boat had shipped three seas,
the rudder had been nearly displaced and return
to the shore for repairs was unavoidable. Another
line was fired over the wreck, but the Bailors
were unable to get it. So the lifeboat was again
launched. This time the pull was long, hard and
desperate. Several seas were shipped, but the
reefs were finally cleared and the craft came
alongside the wreck. The lifeboat was a weird
spectacle. The seas had frozen on her so that
she seemed a shell of ice. So heavy was she
with ice that the keeper concluded it prudent to
BATTLING WITH THE ICE.
take but nine men. These were safely landed,
and immediately anotln-r journey was made.
Again and again the boat was flooded and driven
astern. On the second reef she was nearly
thrown end over end. The rudder was so nearly
destroyed that she had to be managed almost
entirely by the oai-s. Her valiant crew were in
cessantly drenched witli icy water, which froze
upon their clothing as fast as it struck and thick
ened the m:!:l with whivh they were sheathed.
But the men were indomitable, and shortly after
sunrise they had brought the last man ashore.
The life savers returned home that morning,
leaving behind them a remembrance of their
powers and achievement. To have come rushing
behind their locomotive through the night and
tempest so many snowy leagues to the rescue of
a group of despairing sailors, and then, with
hearts greater than danger, to have gone out
again and again through the dreadful breakers
and brought every "man ashore, was a feat so ad
venturous and picturesque that it roused the peo
ple of the whole lake region to intense enthusi
asm.
On another occasion :v life saving crew
stationed in Michigan traveled some
seventy miles, a part of the way by tug,
a part by special train, and tbe remain
der by the hardest kind of rowing
through a stream that was filled with
ice, and arrived at the scene of disaster
in time to rescue a dozen freezing mar
iners. Once it seemed impossible for a
keeper to get his lifeboat and crew to
the neighborhood of a wreck. On ac
count of wind and current be could not
launch into the open sea, and the road
along the beach was so burdened with
ice, driftwood and mountains of snow
that it was impossible to use the wagon.
But the keeper found a way out of the
difficulty. The lifeboat was launched
in shoal water*- -just outside the coast of
ice, and with the aid of a team of strong
horses, and by dint of pulling and push
ing by the indomitable crew, wading in
water and slush, the scene of the wreck
was reached at hist and a number of
lives rescued.
One terrible morning, ten years ago
last month, the citizens of tbe village of
Frankfort. Mich., saw a little way ont
in the wild lake a spectacle which struck
terror to their hearts. A schooner had
been driven ashore by tbe gale, had
beaten to pieces in the breakers and
sunk. One of ber masts had fallen, the
other protruded above tbe lake.. Ten
feet above the water, clinging to the
ratlines, was the captain. Fifty feet up,
in the crosstrees, were the crew of six
men, and iu his lap one of them held the
head of a dying woman. The foremast
swayed and creaked ominously, and
seemed likely to go over at any mo
ment. The woman was delirious, and
her shrieks and laughter rang out above
the gale.
The nearest life saving station was ten
miles away. A gallant young man rode
his horse to it as if his own life de
pended npon it. Then began a struggle
against odds and time on the return !
journey—a heavy cart loaded with the I
Lyle gun and beach apparatus, and a |
sandy, hilly, snowy road through a for- j
est. Let the lamented Capt. O'Connor j
tell a part of the story: j
Meanwhile a crowd had assembled on the coast j
hills near the wreck. A fire had been built and, <
to cheer the mariners and to prevent their yield
ing to despair, the men laid pieces of driftwood .
so as to for.n iu huge, rude letters, black against
the while background of the bluff, the words |
“lifeboat coming.’’ Eager signals from the sailors j
announced that they could read this gigantic
telegram. To return to the rescuers and their
journey. The only available route was an old
Mv in an instant In an incredibly short tims
n way through the wood was cleared, and the
mortar cart was dragged down to the beach. The
journey of ten miles or more had been made in
two hours.
What followed can be quickly told.
All afternoon the crew and their volun
teer assistants worked. A line was finally
shot across the wreck and secured by
the sailors. Trip after trip was made by
the life car, and man after man brought
ashore. At each trip the crowd expected
to see the woman’s form lifted out of the
car. But it did not appear, and as sailor
after sailor came ashore they replied in
response to inquiries that the woman
would be brought on the next trip. Just
at dark the last two men came ashore,
but the woman was not with them. The
crowd set up a murmur. It was angry
that the woman should be thus left tb
perish. Under other circumstances it
might have mobbed the men who had
deserted her. These two sailors who
came last from the wreck declared the
woman was dead. Their comrades who
bad earlier reached the shore corroborated
their statement. Seventeen days after
ward the woman’s body was recovered-
In all probability she was alive when left
there, fifty feet above the water, uncon
scious in the crosstrees.
Many of the life savers lose their own
lives in attempting to rescue others
Many times a year duty calls the brave
men to take their lives in their bands.
Ten or eleven years ago a sloop stranded
on the shores of Cape Cod. Capt. David
Atkins and his crew went to tbe rescue
in the surf boat, and succeeded in taking
off several of the sailors. On the next
trip the lifeboat was alongside the sloop,
when the boom of the latter craft,
which was dipping in and out of the sea
as the breakers rolled her from side tu
side, caught the captain's boat an-.!
turned it bottom side up. Keeper At
kins and two of bis men were drowned.
Some time before this Capt. Atkins
had made an effort to rescue the sailors
on board a stranded ship, but finally
abandoned the attempt on account of
the wildness of the sea. Then a volun
teer squad of sailors and fishermen
manned a yawl and went out and
brought all the sailors ashore. Keeper

CATARRH CAN’T BE CURED
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease. Ca
tarrh is a blood or constitutional disease,
and in order to cure it you have to take
internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh cure
is taken Internally, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall’s
Catarrh Core is no quack medicine. It
was prescribed by one of the best pbysi
clans in this country for years, and is a
regular prescription. It is composed of
the best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting direcly on
the mucous surfaces. The perfect com
bination of tbe two ingredients is what
produces such wonderful results in cur
ing catarrh. Send for testimonials free.

HOPE FOR THE SHIPWRECKED MARINERS,
trail through th ■ woods, rarely traveled, and now
overgrown with underbrush and rendered almost
impassable by fallen trees. But tbe bors^ now
nearly exhausted, and the men, pushing and pull-
ing, struggled ou along winding ravines and up
steep, soggy sand hills. Finally help arrived :n
the shape of fresh horses and more men, and the
expedition at last reached the top of the coast
i»Hi» within sight of the wreck. But here an un
expected and apparently imsunnounfcable ob
stacle was encountered.
Between the hilltop and the beach was a belt of
woods as yet unpierced by mad or vehicle, and in
which lay fallen trees half buried in brush and
undergrowth. The obstacle seemed to in
spire all present with a sudden electric energy,
and gave occasion for a striking and admirable
scene. In an instant, and as if by simultaneous
impulse, all hands, citizens and crew, flung them
selves upon the wood with axes and handspikes
and a work began which resembled a combat.
Tbe wood seemed tumbling asunder, and its rap
idly opening depths were alive with rude figures
in every variety of actioo. In some places mes
were showering blows with oxes upon standing
timber. In others they were prying and lifting
aside great fallen trees with all their branches,
shouting in chorus. Groups here and there with
frantic activity were uprooting and rending away
rri"i of brush and undergrowth. Sometimes
ten men would fling themselves in mass upon a
young tree or sapling, pull It down and tear it
In a recent conversation Green B. Morris,
the veteran turfman, remarked that tbe ac
tual cost of keeping a stable of race horses
is about $700 per year for each animal, but
that does not include entrance fees, forfeit,
jockeys’ pay, etc. He had in 1800 ten horses
in training, and says that tin* entire ex
penses of his stable reached $20,000.
Bookmakers and speculators in London
are also under the ban of the authorities,
according to a cable. Just prior to the
running of the race fortbe Cambridgeshire
stakes at the Newmarket-IIoughton meet
ing the police raided the betting clubs in
London. Three hundred persons, includ
ing a number of prominent citizens, were
arrested.

handsome and stylish gown, but she
worries over it and looks longingly at

when womc-u cease to be women the
millennium will be right upon us and
no one prepared for it.
The tailor made gowns are more fash
ionable than ever, even quite young chil
dren wearing them; that is, girls of 13
and 14. They are made of homespun in
pepper-and-salt mixture with flecked
and snowflake surface. There is an
other fabric much liked for children and
young ladies called Herrison broche,
which is really a brocaded stripe. Chev
iots are worn in every conceivable vari
ety, the shepherd and fine checks being
favorites for tbe young. Tweeds are
tbe favorite materials for tbe tailor made
suits in different weights. But the clan
plaids are more liked than any of the
above named goods for general wear.
There is one rough material known as
drap St. Petersburg, coarse and harsh
but warm and thick, and in several de
signs, mostly large, indefinite coarse de
signs, with one spot in each plaid that
looks as if darned in contrasting colors.
This makes undeniably stylish costumes,
and requires next to no trimming.
Mourning goods vary little, the silk
warp Henrietta being de riguenr for first
mourning, with crape bands. A widow's
gown is made princesse, buttoning np
the whole front, with bands down the
front and around tbe bottom of tbe
skirt, which is made to train slightly in
tbe back. The sleeves are covered with
crape. The bonnet Inis a Mary Stuart
point in front. There is a new silk
nun's veiling which hangs in exquisite
folds, and is light and devoid of that
unpleasant crape smell.
A dress for a young lady in mourning
for a parent has a waist trimmed quite
plainly, and with crape sleeves. The
skirt has apron drapery, with three
plain, horizontal bands across the bot-

A pretty gown for home was in gray
cashmere and had been sewn into a shape
like a sheet, and then brought across
just over the bust and around up again
until a point came forward, plaited and
fastened to the front with hooks, form
ing thns a shoulder strap. The fullness
and length was caught up just back of
the hips, and the back fell loose in a sort
of Watteau plait to the floor. The front
thus hung from the bust and adjusted
itself to the figure by the simple drap-
ings and a rich cord and tassels that
came from under the Watteau plait.
