A SPANISH FETE.
the Feast of San Fernando as Celebrated
In the Cathedral of Seville.

the Feast of San Fernando as Celebrated
In tho Cathedral of Seville.
It was not until the feast Of San Fer
nando that re learned with what sumptu-
BUSINESS and stateliness the beautiful in
terior oould array itself for its festivals,
and with what fervor 1t could keep them.
Already on the eve of the great day the
Royal chapel was hung with silken dra-
peries, cloth of gold covered the royal
bombs, the altar was mass of golden
plate, and people were crowding to kiss
The hands of the Virgin de los Reyes, the
large, matronly Virgin who wears a cap
like that of the Ladies Of the Sacred Heart,
and who holds the Child in her arms.
When we came TO the cathedral, its court
was held by red legged soldiers, grouped
about the foUntain, at the base of pillars,
En every step. Two sentinels paced up and
hown at the door of the Royal chapel,
which was filed with we'll dressed men
and women in mantdllas, crouched on the
floor, sitting on low camp stools, lyin,
face downward with hands outstretched
TO form a eBoss, or else pressing closely
about the altar, for the curtain was raised
above the coffin where San Fernando has
lain these thousand years, and through
the glass we could see the mummylike
head and the er1nine robes, and all the
people prayed as If they meant it.
Wewandered back in the late afternoon,
in the hour just before sunset. Under the
oranges and about the fountain the red
legged soldiers still fingered and loafed, but
oven as we came bugle sounded and they
fell into line and marched across the court
through the cloister, under a door with
the crocodile above, and then into the
Royal chapel, where they formed on each
side The altar, with it's hundreds of can
dies, made an almost binding glory in the
midst of the falling shadows, and wher-
ever the silken nangings caught the light
they shone with je1ellike splendor. But
the service was very simple, the more SOL
emn because Of its simplicity. A monk in
a black robe mounted into pulpit half
hid in dusky corner. He recited litany,
and the people answered. and, without Or
gan or accompaniment, hymn was sung.
Then he prayed aloud, not in Latin,
but in Spanish, prayer Of thanksgiving
that the country had been freed from the
terrible Moors, q petition that they might
never come again, that glorious ST. Ferdi-
nand should prevail, and that Spain
should flourish forever. With these words,
which he fairly shrieked forth, he waved
a frantic sign of the cross with his cruel
fix as he gave blessing. The mass of off,
GERS drew their swords, the soldiers ground
ed their arms with a crash and fell on
theix knees, the band burst into the ma
tionaa hymn, tho color guard marched to
the altar and seized their flags, which had
been left before the tomb all day. They
saluSed the hero of their country The cur
tain dropped. shrouding him from sight,
and then, the band at their head, they
marched QUO with dignity which Rome

1t is not unusual for druggists to
recommend Chamberlain Cough Rem

have used it themselves, or in their
families and know from personal expert

coughs, colds and Group. They know
too that their customers are their best
friends and naturally wish to give them
the most reliable medicine they have for

Keeping In the Lead In the New Horror
journalism.

Without any extra cost to our readers
we this week issue a supplement to the
main sheet, which contains full ao-
counts Of II cold blooded murders, five
ghost stories, four mine horrors and
three Indian butcheries, and we are sor-
ry to say that there were crowded out
for lack of space six beautiful incidents
in which men were bitten by mad
wolves or rattlesnakes and died in the
most horrible agonies. While this isn't
exactly our style of literature our read
ers want il, and we defer to them. 1t is
our aim to keep in the lead, and if we
can find enough of these stories and in
cidents to make supplement about
once in four weeks the same will be is
sued and our subscribers made happy.
A Missing Artist.
A young man named Grant, who
came out here few days ago to paint
mountain scenery and who was stop
ping over at Pine Hill, has been miss
ing for the last five days He went out
to sketch the mouth of Black canyon,
and next day they found his easel and
brushes and paints scattered over the
ground. The general idea is that bear
with his lair in the canyon woke up,
saw good thing in front Of him and
proceeded to take it in. He makes the
fourth artist who has mysteriously dis
appeared in this section in the last two
years. The belief that Mr.. Grant is on
the inside is further strengthened by
the fact that bear which Joe Harper
shot at and wounded day or two ago
near the canyon spat several trousers
buttons and a vest buckle out of his
mouth as he ran away.
The Best We Can Do.
Wednesday noon of last week band
of about 40 indignant citizens, headed
by Major Wharton of the Cactus ranch,
surrounded The Kicker Office and fired
about 400 bullets into the home of the
greatest family paper on earth. The OBJ
ject was to rebuke US for posting weather
bulletins which did not pan out as rep
resented, and we were duly rebuked.
When we started our weather bureau,
we explicitly announced that all the
tools we had to work with were a map
Of the world, two foot rule and red
lead pencil.
In so days we have hit the weather
4S times, which we submit is doing de-
Gently we'll. In few instances we have
predicted rain which obstinately refused
to show up, and two or three times we
have overlooked high winds and frosty
nights.
We have done our best. however, and
if our people are not satisfied they must
turn in some other direction. Had Major
Wharton come to us personally and
alone and like a gentleman we would
have tried to give him the sort Of
weather he wants to grow jack rabbits
and tarantulas, but under the circum-
stances we'll be hanged if we favor him
over anybody else. M. QUAD.

It Promotes Peace and Good
Will.
News & Observer.

Rev. John E. White is author
ity for saying that here in North
Carolina free silver is bringing
the members of the churches
together, healing differences, and
making men more broth erly aud
neighborly.
In Virginia, according to the
Norfolk Landmark, Capt. Nc
Carthy and Col. w. c. Elan
both advocates offree silver, who
had not been on good terms for
years, buried the hatchet at big
silver meeting which both of
them addressed.
The preachers will do we'll to
cut this paragraph out and read
it twice when some gold man
appeals to their selfish cupidity
by telling them that free silver
would cut down the purchasing
power of their salaries.
