PRAYED FOR CLEVELAND.


JEFFERSON Crry, Mo-, March A.
Chaplain Given in his prayer in the
Senate this morning made ex-Fresi-
dent Cleveland his subject. He
prayed that the country should be
grateful that his term has come to an
end, and, now that he has gotten
back into private life, he might be-
come more solicitous as to his own
welfare spiritually and live better
citizen.
While prayed for in the Senate, ex-
President Cleveland was assailed in
the House this morning by Repre-
sentative Crisp, of &eckson, who
moved to adjourn during the hour
when Cleveland stepped out and Nc
Kinley was inaugurated. He said:
81 want to celebrate the dethroning
of this monster, the representative OF
no people and of no country. Idoubt
whether he worshiped his own God
while In the White House."
The speech was applauded, but the
motion to adjourn was substituted by
the Speaker, who said: eve may re-
joice at Cleveland's end, but let's saw
wood"
The sssaw wood" substitute was
adopted by large majority. Crisp
refused to vote thereafter, declaring
he had adjourned himself.

Mexico Audrain County, Thursday

from the street to the inner courts of
the house, is under instructions to
admit no one except by order of the
parents of the senorita whose audi
ence is being 80 eagerly sought. The
young gentleman may earnestly
pound upon the massive brass knock
er for hours, seeking admittance, but
his knocking will not avail. So he
and the lady of his choice must do
their distant love- making in the pub
lie view and hearing until such time
as the stony parental heart shall have
melted sufficiently to grant him ad-
mission to the family circle. Inside
of the domestic citadel the lady mean
time warmly pleads the cause of the
unhappy one without, extoliing his
constancy and the many other good
qualities which she has proved her
faithful admirer to possess. The day is
at last victoriously carried, by one
means or another, and the lovers are
allowed the privilege of the parlor;
but they are never left alone, for the
old system of chaperonage is still rig
idly in vogue.
If the attentive lover desires the
company of his chosen one to the
opera or upon coach drive, he must
include an invitation begging the
presence of the father or mother, or
more properly, of the whole family.

CITY OF MEXICO, MEXICO, Feb. 26.-
Our party has just reached Mexico
and will spend three days here seeing
the sights, winding up with big bull
fight. Among the most interesting
points in Mexico are the markets,
Alameda and ZocaIo, the Pasco, the
Mineria, the mint, libraries, Penon
Hot Springs, the race track, La Viga,
Guadalupe, the National Museum,
Chapultepec, the National Palace and
many other places of interest.
City of Mexico, the capital of Mexi-
CO, is the largest and most impor-
tant city in the Republic. The city
was founded by the Aztecs toward the
end of the thirteenth century, and
conquered by the Spaniards in 1921,
who retained possession 300 years, until
September 27, 1921, at which time
Mexican independence was gained.
The present population is about $780,
600. The city is we'll laid out, with
straight streets crossing each other at
right angles, and has a splendid sys-
tenn of street railways. The material
usually used in the construction of the
buildings is stone, brick or tapetate.
There are upwards of 12e churches,
the principal one in size and grandeur
being the Cathedral, which is 1926 feet
long and 200 feet wide, with two tow
ers nearly 200 feet high. There are
many fine business houses and mag

Glare, the II year old daughter of MIR.

illness of about three weeks duration.
Belva, who was the eldest daughter,
was an unusually bright girl and was
well liked by all of her companions.
She was stricken with meningitis about
three weeks ago, but it was not seri-
GUS until just a week ago, when pa
ralysis set in and she grew steadily
worse.

exclamations of unconcealed admira-

castle.
The elegant furnishings of the Louis

the former with its silken upholsteries

of Madame Diaz is finished La Pom

panels OF Capueine plush. The deli
cate appointments of this bijou bou-
doir, the duchesse toilette in cream
and crimson; the Vatican sofa and
every detail of the dreamy little room
made an impression on the ladies.
Particular attention was given the
elegant parlors, with their auboson-
covered furniture, Parisian in manu-
facture, with the fables of La Fon-
taine worked in rich sHbdued colors,
and the ceiling frescoes from Boucher.
There were glances into the sewing

TWO PRISONERS ESCAPE.
A Man and Woman, Both Colored
Guests of Sheriff Nelson, Dig
Through the Jail
Wall.

Thursday night at 10 O'Clock when
Sheriff Nelson went into the cell-room
at the jail to lock up for the night he
found two prisoners missing and a
hole in the north wall, just under the
west window.
The prisoners who had made their
escape were Doc Stevens, of Mont
gomery County, who was serving a
sentence for burglary and larceny,
and Georgia Alexander, of the same
county, vino was being held for trial
on the same charge.
Both are negroes.
1t is thought that the woman in
duced Stevens to make the break for
liberty.
The hole through the 13 inches of
brick and mortar had been dug with
an iron poker and a sharpened piece
of broom handle. The prisoners laid
a mattress under the place of opera
tion to deaden the sound. 1t is be-
lieved that the escape was made
about O'Clock at night.
Sheriff Nelson and Deputy Atchi-
son at once began q vigorous search
for the fugitives. The Sheriff went
west that night and Deputy Atchison
spent the night snosing" around
Mexico for them.
The two prisoners were allowed the
run of the cage-room-the woman in
the day time and the man all the
time.

nificent residences, the latter being
built around "patios," or open court
yards, in which are flowers, palms and
fountains The city is well poficed, the
officers being uniformly courteous and
accommodating. The climate is de-
lightful and equable, and the extreme
heat often experienced in Northern
cities of the United States is unknown
here.
One of the most interesting architec-
tural features of Mexico, and there
are many, is the aqueducts. The pen
picture presented is of the wonderful
aqueduct at Queretaro, which stretch
es for five miles across the plain, and
carries water from the mountains to
supply the town. Some of these i'm
mense arches are over ninety feet
high, and there are about eight of the
very high ones, making a place of
masonry that is vastly impressive.
1t can be seen from both mountain
and plain for many miles, and being
still in use is in excellent repair. There
is statue in the plaza of Queretaro of
the man whose generosity provided
this luxury for his native place. The
Mexican Central railway passes
through one of these arches, on a

WHIRLED ON A sHAFTING.
Clarence Humphrey Was Caught By
the Belt While Grinding An
Axe-Fatally Injured.

On March 4 about 8 O'Clock Clarence
Humphrey, who was about "a years
old, was drawn upon shafting by the
belt running the grind stone in the
basement of Pollock's mill and fatally
injured.
Young Humphrey was not an en-
ploye of the mill, but was grinding ar
ak in the basement.
1t is not known whether he wat
caught by the belt when he tried tc
run it off the stone wheel or whether
he was caught while grinding.
When the betting drew the unfor-
tunate young man to the shafting he
was whirled around and around, beat
ing his body against the brace tim
bers OF the shafting.
A young man who was with him a,
the time warned the engineer Of
young Humphreys plight, and the
machinery was stopped.
There was one bone broken in the
right leg and very deep wound. Or
the left leg there was a compound
fracture of the knee bone.
The right arm was broken at the
wrist.
He was removed to the home of hi
mother, in West Mexico, where he
died at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon

AN EXTRA SESSION
OF the Legislature Not improbable,
Say Stephens and Farris.

JEFFERSON CITY, March i.-An ex-
ira session of the Legislature is not at
all improbable, say Governor Steph-
ems and Speaker Farris.
Speaker Farris reviewed the situa-
ton to the Chronicle correspondent in
the following:
"No appropriation has been made
for the University, and about S325, 900
is needed. Appropriations must be
made and then trust to the future to
bring sufficient money into the Treas
ury to meet the vouchers.
"The Ward street railway Cax bill
is likely to become law, and by this
we hope to get about S76, 900. The
House yesterday afternoon passed the
bill to double the State dram shop IL
cense. l understand the Senate has
already passed q similar bill. This
will at least give us about S120, 900
more. Then there is the franchise
tax bill, which win add about s75 ,000."
Governor Stephens and the Speaker
held consultation and Governor
Stephens said he would not hesitate
| to call special session.

olive relieved in gold plush. Even
the grand dining room was invaded
by the guests, and they stood admir-
ingly under its rich ceilings of oak and
Canton Pierre, and inspected with
wondering curiosity its monumental
mantel and gobeIin tapestry. The de-
tail of the dining room are substantial
even to the oaken tables, and the
chairs heavily embossed in Cordova
leather. The very handsome appoint
ments Of the smoking room, with the
leather walls with gold and
satin panels, red Genoa velvet and
applique, and its curious representa-
tions of games-Greek, Persian and
Roman. The parquet floor, with rare
woods 1nlald, attracted the attention
of the gentlemen visitors. Very at
tractive were the costumes of the
American medical military officers, all
in full uniform, compliment to Pres
ident Diaz. They gave very foreign
air to the old castle, the ancient seat
of the Aztecs Kings, the modern home
of the Inflated Emperor Maximilian,
and the present summer residence OF
the President of the republic.
The party went into rapturous ex-
clamations over the unparalleled
scenic beauty of the surroundings OF
Chapultepec. The giant Expresses
bent and bowed their grey heads,
tasseled with MOSES, far below in the
park, and the patches of landscape
gardening at the base of the great
castellated hill peered upward through
the interlacing tree tops as though
desirous to know the reason for the
unusual commotion in the solemn ole
castle. The view from Chapultepec Ii
scarcely equaled in the world. The
eye sweeps unrestrained over a val
ley every inch whereof is written ovel
with history; where, if the records are
true, the mysterious Aztecs wandered
foot-sore in the sixth century to found
an empire for thousand years where
centuries after, the brown and black
bearded eonquistador came, in mai
and helmet, to take the beautiful lane
for the Spanish crown. 1t were idle
to attempt to give pen picture of the
natural beauty of the great valley o.

say that every inch Of the wide ant

diagonal line, with plenty of room to
spare. In addition to this there Is q
connecting line of masonry on the
ground, between the supporting pill
lars.
In this stone bed there is also a
waterway. Many of the abandoned
aqueducts show this ground-level
duct, besides the one on top. 1t is,
however, entirely covered and hidden
from sight, passing through the
columns. This magnificent aqueduct
Of Queretaro is not so long as that OF
San Cosme, at the capital city, which
once carried water from the hill OF
Chapultepec to Mexico City, but it is
the highest in the republic. San
Cosme contains 900 arches, every
column is buttressed on each side, and
very many of them contain inches
that were once shrines that held
images of the virgin or the Christ
Now these shrines are slowly crumb-
ling into decay. So slowly, how
ever, that the destruction oi
time can not overtake that of the
despoiler, Improvement. Progress Ii
the watchword in the Mexico OF to-
day, and the encroachments of the
city demand more and more of the
space occupied by these 800 great
arches. Formerly the aqueduct rar
into the heart of the city; now 1t ID
obliterated to the suburbs, but from
there to Cnapultepec, about three
miles, It stretches unbroken, anG
great as Ia the valuable space it occu-
pies, 1t is the unanimous opinion oi
visitors that it will be an irreparable
| loss to the city If 1t is ever removed.
The arches of this aqueduct are moi
large enough to admit Of the passage
| of vehicles through them, and the re-
| moval of the masonry forming ths
lower waterway, which in some
places might make this possible, ,wouit
cost fortune, and, Of course, impair
the architecture OF the structure. Bu1

the site of the great Aztec temple,
which the Spaniards destroyed when
the city was conquered in 1921. The
first stone of the existing building was
laid in 1873. Final dedication 1867.
Entire cost about $2,099, 900. The
building measures 3S7 feet from north
to south, and III feet from east to

quadruple pillars, each 35 feet in cir
cumference, support the roof. Fine
view from the towers, which are 10s1a

by the keen-eyed foreigners who
drank in the peerless view.
The more you see of the CITY of
Mexico the more You want to see and
our party will leave before we get
near through. I shall not attempt to

of one fight is all you want to see.
Love making is very peculiar here.
The girls and boys in the States would
not like 1t.
As q rule no one is received in an
exclusive Mexican home unless his
social caste Is equal to that Of the
family he desires to visit, and then he
must needs be presented and vouched

has implicit confidence.
