MEXICO'S FLOWER FESTIVAL.
A PICTURESQUE CARNIVAL WHICH DATES FROM
THE CONQUEST.

A PICTURESQUE CARNIVAL WHICH DATES FROM
THE CONQUEST.
From The Mexican Herald.
On Friday the famous Paseo de las Flores
a custom which is said TO date from before the
conquest The Viga Canal early presented an AMI
mated appearance. 1t was crowded with the canoes
of Indian women bringing In their flowers and
vegetables Each Indian woman in her canoe
looked as II seated in floating flower garden. and
all we're crowned with garands of peoples. 1t is
probable that this festival was held in Aztec times
to celebrate the return Of spring but the Christian
priests converted this day into commemoration
in honor of our Lady of Sorrows In other words
this is the day on which the Catholic Church COM
memorates the suffering undergone by the Virgin
during the Passion Of Christ This is also the
saints day OF all women bearing the name OF Do
iores commonly abbreviated into Lola.
The scene is one of the most picturesque that
can be seen in Mexico The surface of the canal
Is alive with hower-aden canoes gliding swiftly
along The banks are crowded with men on horse
back people in carriages and pedestrians. Indian
women occupy every available spot where they
offer food drink or flowers to the passers-by. OF
course the ubiquitous ratero is there, and careful
vigilance over ones watch and pocketbook Is In
order.

COATS THAT NEVER CAME.
They Were Ordered for the Plant Reception,
But Were Found Under House.

DuV W tUuAV OuuOA q
Mr.. G. B. Mabry. while passing
down Mansfield street yesterday after
noon noticed a woman and man en-
gagged in the occupation of pulling out
articles of clothing from under the
house, corner of Mansfield and Grant
streets. Mr.. Mabry interrupted the
negroes and found that the articles
were two full dress coats, apparently
new, but very badly soiled with mud
and water.
Mr.. Mabry took the coats to his
Office IN the court house. They bore
the mark of A. Kaiser & Bro. Mr.. M.
KaiSer came to the courthouse in re-
spouse to a summons and identified
the coats as belonging to two suits
ordered especially for gentlemen who
were to attend the Phoenix club ban
quet to PresIdant Plant. When the
shipment arrived, on the last Mallory
steamer, the case In which the suits
had been sent was found to be torn
open and the coats were missing. Mr..
Kaiser thinks the case was robbed on
the Mallory wharf and has made a
claim on the steamship company for
them.
No arrests have been made. The
woman was identified by Mr.. Mabry
as Sarah Brown, but the name of the
man was unknown.
