A BRILLIANT SCENE
A calcium light up the street made the MOTEL

For hero it was occurred that splendid
act of courage which tore from the blood
stained brow of Napoleon the imperial
crown and filed with hope and new courage
the nations of Europe. Round this monu.
ment, sacred to every Spaniard, vast
throng was gathered.
GALE DE ALcALA.
The splendid procession turned from the
Paseo del Prado into the Gale Alcala. At
the right was the great yellow building of
the War Department. futtering mass of
red and gold. In solemn triumph the King
and Queen and their suite, together with
all the foreign Ministers and many Of the
grandees of Spain passed up the hill and
out into the great central plaza of tho
capital, tho Puerta del Sol; thence down
the palace known as the Plaza de la Ar
moria.
THE ROYAL PALACE.
On the western side of Madrid, overlook
ing the bed of the Manzanares is the
Palicio Real. perhaps the finest royal resi-
dence in Europe. 1t is square structure,
some four hundred and seventy feet
each way and one hundred feet high,
The material used in its construction
is granite, and the white stone of Colme-
mar, which, bleached by sun and wind, ap-
pears Mt little distance Carrara marble.
In the flooring and portals Of the interior
the most precious marbles have been used.
the Plaza de Ia Ammonia, and the staircase
which leads to the royal apartments is of
noble design and we'll worthy Of this splen-
did building
NAPoLEoN's OPINION.
It is said that Napoleon when ascending
these stairs stopped half way, and turning
to his brother Joseph said, "Vous sercz
mieuL loJe que mot, compliment
paid to the Spanish palace at the expense
of the Tuileries. From the windows of the
palace is obtained On extensive view of
Castillo, below the tiny Manzanares looks
like a chalked line on blackboard, and
beyond spreads tho dark woods of the
Jo1 ha a
SUBMITS of tho Guadarrama range,
whose icy winds freeze up tho very
life blood of Madrid. The palace is said 10
occupy the same position as the ancient
Moorish outpost of Majerit, which was cap
tured in 1853 by Alfonso vi.
HOME AGAIN.
As the head Of the procession reached the
main entrance it separated and tho royal
carriage drove up to the door. Tho King
assisted the Queen to alight, and on his arm
she entered the palace.
THE IDYL OF THE KING.
There is something delightfully."- poetic in
tho story of the royal marriage cele-
brated to-day. Unlike most similar
events, State reasons have had moth
ing to do in bringing it about. 1t is
purely love match, the elimination Of one
of those idyls we read about in fairy tales
where the young Prince. sending his Prime
Ministers to Coventry. offers his crown and
heart to tho humble maiden. II is
true the lady in this case is by birth .

princess, but as she brings no royal dover
OF provinces and serfs, she is. looked at from
the kingly standpoint, an humble maiden
THEY ARE COUSINS.
Tho welded pair are cousins, being
grandchildren OF that Ferdinand VII. for
whose throne Spain made such immense
sacrifices and who repaid so badly
the devotion Of his people. Thrown
much together from their earliest
childhood Alfonso and Doha Mercedes
became tenderly attached to each other
and the young Alfonso used to address his
fair cousin as my little wife" This child
sh friendship continued to ripen until
the revolution of 1868 separated temporarily
the young lovers, for the Duke de Montpen-
sier took sides with the revolution against
Queen Isabella This family feud. howe
failed to weaken the attachment between
Prince Alfonso and Do1a Mercedes. who,
like true lovers became more attached than
ever on account of their misfortune.
HOW SHE WAS ASKED.
One day while sauntering with Dons
Mercedes and her family through the lovely
gardens of Aranjucz Alfonso mustered
up courage to pop" the momentous
question, and the ceremonies to-day
leave no doubt as to what the
reply must have been. From this neces-
sarily short account of momentous court
ship it will be seen that tho royal couple be.
gin their married life with every prospect of
domestic happines. So far the reign of Alfonso
XII. has been very lucky, and should the
same good fortune attend him in the future
he may restore Spain to much of her an.
cient splendor. and leave rs honored mem-
DRY as Alfonso x, who is gratefully remem-
bered by the people as ''the wise King"

recalled the Oriental richness of the seven
teenth century? Nor yet the long line of
courtly carriages which the nobles the
grandees of Spain, had taken from their
museum-like resting places and once more
brought out into the sunlight, as if to prove
to themselves that the days of their glory
had not passed away, and that the spectre
of the CASTELAR, Republic had been but an
ugly dream. which was now disspated be-
fore the rising sun of monarchy?
- RELICS OF THE PAST.
No radical, however, could have imagined
a more scathing commentary on the value
of aristocratic institutions than was fur
nished by this royal pageant. The nobility
here appeared in all the splendid fnery of
decay. Theirs were the high sounding titles,
the gilded carriages and the uniforms
that in wealth of gold lace rivalled in splen-
dor the gorgeous royal lackeys, but in the
Ministerial coaches went not one title of
Castillo. The men of power are children of
the people. Senior Canovas del Castillo
the wizard of this fairy show. began his life
G,tbcrndtion, and owes his power and his DO
sition not to his titles, but to his brains.
THE pAsEo DEL PRADo.
When the procession reached the end Of
the Paseo de Atocha, instead Of entering
the city by the street of the same name it
turned to the right and followed the
splendid avenue of the Paseo del Prado.
which skirts the city to the east. From this
point the sight was magnificent 1t seemed
as if all Madrid had empted into
this favorite promenade, and wherever
the eye turned it rested on
vast river of humanity embarked between
the gardens which line on either side the
broad paseo. In presence of the bright uni
forms of the troops and the laughing of the
gayly-dressed populace the wintry aspect
and puny proportions of the trees were for
gotten, for after all the chief interest GEN.
tired in the living mass which gathered
upon the new-made Queen.
ANYTHING FOR VIEW.
Away up the Gale do Atocha, which
passes the hospital, climbing into the heart
of the city up steep incline, tiers of
human heads rose one above another, and
far as the eye could reach down the Paseo
del Prado thousands of human beings,
representing oil social grades, moved about
behind the long line of glittering
bayonets. 1t is impossible to describe the
beauty and animation Of the scene. A
murmur runs through the crowd as the
head of the procession turns into the Paseo,
and the mass of spectators press close in on
the files Of soldiers who line the way.
THE FIELD or LOYALTY.
Passing the Salon del Prado the head of
tho procession reached the Campo do Ia
Lealdad- tho Field of Loyalty-whore in
1908 the sanguinary Murat massacred by
thousands the gallant Spaniards who in mo-
ment OF sublime patriotism rose against the
legions Of the Corsican adventurer. What
thoughts must have throngcd through the
minds Of the royal couple as they passed

about eleven o'clock line of carriages no
less regal in outward appearance and with
coat of arms upon their panels no less
ancient turns into the Paseo del Atocha and
soon draws up before the church. Cheers
from the vast crowd are heard on every side.
DISTINGUISHED PEOPLE PRESENT.
In the carriages of the King had arrived
ex-Prince Consort Don Francisco and Queen
Christina (the father and grandmother of
Alfonso XIL), the Apostolic Ablegate. the
Ministry and the President of the Chamber
of Deputies. With the Duke dc Mont
pensier's party arrived the Count and
Countess of Paris and several members of
the nobility. In their private carriages now
came the special ambassadors from Austria,
England, France and Russia, the Senators
and Deputies, Foreign Ministers aud other
dignitaries.
THE CHURCH OF AroCHA.
The Royal Chapel of Atocha is a very
humble structure built on the southeastern
outskirts of Madrid and has nothing regal
about it save its title and its associations.
1t is one of those melancholy monuments of
the decline Of architectural taste which
strangely enough mark the period when
the inquisition ruled Spain. It's facade is
a curious mixture Of the Christian temple
and the Chinese pagoda, without the airy
beauty of the one or the severe impressive
ness Of the other.
ON THE RIDGE OF THE CITY
The chapel stands at one end of the
Paseo del Atocha, which it blocks I'D. In
front is small square court yard, with
pillared entrances on either side leading
to the doors of the church. 1t recalls in
it's loneliness as in its style the churches
one meets in Mexican villages 1t was
built in 1923, by the confessor of Charles
", and has been enriched by nearly all
the succeeding nnonarchs. 1t is especially
the Bourbon chapel and the monarchs of
that house attend a special service every
Saturday.
IT'S SACRED FAME.
In the chapel is an image of the Virgin of
Atocha, very black and very old, which, it
is claimed, st. Peter brought with him to
Spain. Numberless miracles are attributed
to this image, which is regarded with special
venention. All the Bourbon brides pre-
sent their wedding dresses to the virgin of
Atocha, and all successful warriors place at
her feet their captured flags, as did Alonzo
VI in 1888 when he recovered Madrid from
the power of tho Moors.
AMID LIGHTS AND INCENSE.
A dozen chandeliers suspended from tho
cave-like roof shed brilliant light through
the long single aisle which composes the
body of the church and the little side chap
