What the Day Means-The City en- Fete
Crowds on the Streets and in the 70
calo-The Presidents Birthday.

Special Correspondence.
City OF Mexico, Sept, 25.-The
September fetes of Mexico, COM
mencing on the night of the 18th
of September, extending through
the 10th and away into the 18th,
are the greatest Of Mexico's many
fiestas. This time is to the Next
cans what the Fourth of July Is to
America, only it is celebrated with
heartiness and grandeur that far
exceeds that of even patriotic
America. But there is an added
interest in this celebration. Maybe
ii is accidental, but some think it
is by Divine Providence, for on the
first day the honored and much
loved president-Porfirio Diaz-
celebrates his birthday, and then
passed his 6Sth milestone on his
journey through life. Naturally
such an event could not be passed
unnoticed, and the president had
to hold a reception in the National
Palace. The rich and great came
to pay compliments and present
presents and the poor came with
congratulations. When the rush
OF the ceremony was over he asked,
"Are there any more waiting?"
NO." was the reply, for it was
seen the president was tired and
wanted to go home to rest, and
then added:
"There's only a few poems" "Pe-
ons," echoed the president, ''they
are our best friends; bring them
in" They saw and reverenced the
president. He received them

rated with a broad, red, white and
green sash, and carrying Mexico's
flag, came to the window attended
by several government officials.
He then rang "Liberty Belp for
the first time in the city, waved
tho flag, proclaimed the Ell Critic
and retired. Then pandemonium
reigned, the people yelled them
selves hoarse with crying sylvia

ward, the church bells changed and
there was an Internal din. Most
OF the crowd separated, going by
the various by-ways to their
homes, but m any remained in the
Zocalo, which at such times is con-
verted into a huge fair, feasting,
listening to the music and enjoy
ing all kinds of fun. 1 soon re-
turned to the Hotel Europa and
went to bed, but for long time /
could hear crowds passing on the
Coliseo Viejo singing patriotic and
ribald songs and yelling "vivs
Mexico" Indeed L fell asleep with
that cry ringing in my ears.
I was awoke early next morning
by the booming of cannon and the
violent changing of the bells varied
the concerted notes of trumpets.
These were saluting the flag which
on that day is raised with especial
honors, and for hours atterward
martial music broke frequently
upon my ear. After going to
breakfast 1T Mic Wise's restaur-
ant-the the same sold Mic" that
was the restauranteur and hotel
keeper in San Antonio-proceeded
to the American club to view the
professions, for there are two in
this morning. The first, when the
president, cabinet, staff, congress
and other dignity's walk to the
Alameda; and, secondly, when thu
grand military procession starts
from the Alameda for the Zocala
and there to be formally reviewed
by the president.

cially invited guests. The cathed-
raj was also Illuminated with
white lights. There was a large
body OF mounted police there to
keep the road fronting the palace
clear. These did their duty well,
but did more harm than good, for
as the immense surgiDg crowd
would encroach on this reserved
road the police would ride their
horses on it, and drive the people
hurriedly and excitedly back, oc-
casioning a terrible crush on those
behind them. And the crush was
not only awful but dangerous. l
was trying to make my way
through the dense crowd to my
seat in the palace but got there as
they say lawyers go to heaven by
very slow degrees, something like

in one of these brushes and the
crowd seemed to be crushing the
life out of me. Several people were

ter arrangements could and should
be made for managing such i'm

AS the clock neared the hour OF
eleven, the hour when in 1910 Hi
dalgo is said to have given his
famous "El Critic" all eyes were
fixed upon the central tower of the
palace, especially upon an open
window on the first floor that was
surrounded with red, white and
green illuminated globes. Imme.
diately above this window was
Mexico's Liberty Bell surrounded
by what appeared to be simply 9
radiated halo OF white.
Just as the clock struck the
eleventh hour the white halo
around Liberty Bell flashed into {
halo Of fire, for it consisted of NJ

kindly, and when they left he
saw that each man had a crisp ten
dollar bill and kind words ere they
left. These came not to beg; they
expected nothing but the presl-
dents cordial greeting, and were
surprised at his liberality. 1t is
safe to say that these men would
vote and work for Disz when called
upon to do so.
or course great preparation was
made by the citizens for the event,
and the decorations were many
and of an elaborate character,
Floral decorations, popularity in
this section, were common, and
some house-fronts were literally
covered in flowers in all kinds OF
pretty designs, for Mexicans are,
in my opinion, the best flower
workers in the world. Naturally
the Mexican tri-color was every.
where, but the flags of other ma
tions were freely exhibited. Elabo-
rate arrangements were made

tions. The expense OF these
decoration is borne mainly by the
citizens, though the government
always makes a liberal appropria-
tion for the national holiday deco.
rations.
Towards night all was hustle & nd
excitement and the streets crowded
with pedestrians. At about 1850
d. m. walked down San Francisco
street and through the Plateros to
the Zocala, where the opening cere-
monies were to occur. The crowd
was immense and it got worse as
we neared the rendezvous. In the
Zocala was an immense crowd,
estimated at about thirty thousand
people and it was tastefully deco
rated. The band stand and Central
garden was illuminated with mgr
lads OF red, white and green glazed
lamps, so arranged as to give 8
grand effect. The National palac'
was tasteiully illuminated and thu
windows were thronged with spe

praised these men before, but too
much praise can not be given to
such fine, serviceable men, nor to
the wisdom of Diaz, who has con-
verified dangerous outlaws into the
most efficient peace preservers aud
supporters of the government. The
procession took over two hours in
passing the American club, al
though the military was eight
men abreast aud marching in
close order. 1t took even more
time to pass the president in re-
view, and he expressed great pleas
ure in what he saw, as he might
well do, for certainly the army in
every way made a most creditable
showing.
OF course stores were closed and
everything given up to pleasure
and people enjoyed themselves in
the many ways present. The usu-
ally attractive fireworks had to be
postponed owing to rain at night,
but were exhibited on the following
Sunday, and were excellent. The
only thing that marred this occa-
sion was a runaway team, scared
at fireworks, that crippled two per-
sons.
The celebration was indeed q
grand one and we'll worth seeing;
to Mexicans it is important as Gre
ating and maintaining a spirit of
liberty. ID. R-T.
