Mardi GraS
HOW THE GREAT PARADES WILL
APPEAR IN HIRE SOUTH
ERN CITIES.

New Orleans. Feb. 13.-The great car
hiyal week in the south will be ushered
in today with imposing ceremonies not
alone here, as usual, but by most impos-
ing services in Mobile and Birmingham.
Here it is Rex who enters the city. In
Mobile it is Felix, king of the carnival,
and in Birmingham it is King Vulcan ".
The entrace of all is heralded with great
pOmp of parade and ceremony.
"Mardi Gras'' is a word of French der
i%vation, meaning Fat Tuesday, which
we all know is the day preceding Ash
Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, with
its forty days fasting and penance. From
this word Fat Tuesday," one naturally
concludes that the observers of Lent Gas
the camel who is setting out on a trip
over the desert takes in a supply of water
sufficient to last him until he reaches fer
tile land again), partake of enough good
things in the way of 'edibles,' to last
them until Easter Sunday. The word
"caTnival' Literally farewell to meat"
but which has come to mean a 'festi-
vaID, added to ''Mardi Gras,' shows us
that Fat Tuesday becomes, in the
balmy south, a day of rejoicing and merry
making. A love for gorgeous and beau
tiful entertainments is inherent in de-
scendants of the old French and Span
ish founders of Mobile and New Orleans,
and ever sine the civil war these Mardi
Gras celebrations have been growing in
splendor and mIagnifiQence each year,
until now it can be truly said that no.
where on earth can one witness such mag
nificent ~pageantry, tableauX, military
and civic professions, street and resi-
dence decorations, lights, costumes,
music, and general festivities, as are to
be found in the old creole cities of Mo-
bile, Ala, and New Orleans, La. New,
progressive, cosmopolitan New Orleans,
with its modern buildings, hotels and the
aters, beautiful wide streets, miles Of
water front, railroads, and all the i'm
~plovonents which the nineteenth century

RIBBON ON THE PEACE TREATY.

A London paper tells this story Of the
final signing of the peace treaty: Every
diplomatic instrument bears a seal from
which depends a ribbon, end when the
seal was about to be afixed to the treaty,
both Spain and America expressed a de-
sire, in graceful acknowledgment of the
courtesy shown by France, that the de-
pendent ribbon should be tricolored.
Search was forthwith made high and low
in the Quail d'Orsay, with the result that
in the foreign Office of the French l.apub-
tic not a bit of ribbon of the French coll
ors could be found. At this critical June
ture a brilliant inspiration flashed across
one of the heads of the department. 60
he said to a messenger, "to M. -, the
confect:oner, in the Rue st. Honore, for a
pound of chocolate cakes, and be sure
you ask him to tie them up with a tri-
color ribbon" With hat Nt of confec-
toner's ribbon the treaty of peace be-
tween Spain and the United States was
sealed.

owe for the beautiful and gorgeous cele-
brations thai originated here in 1927, and
goes heart and soul into the annual Mardi
GraS carnival.
Tuesday, ''Mardi Gras" day proper, is
the final day of the festivities. From
early morn till late at night, masquerade
ers, costumed now in beautiful, now in
ludicrous array, flood the streets, and
sing, dance and make merry. There is a
daylight pageant by Rex on Tuesday,
and the professions of the Krewe of Pro-
teous and the Krewe of Momus take place
in the evening. Wherever the eye roams
one sees the carnival colors and banners,
"rOyal purple" 'orange yellow" and
"o1ive green" lit up by thousands of
lights. Never an inharmonious word,
nothing but courtesy and southern polite
ness, is to be found along the thorough
fares. Suddenly strains of sweet music
break pom the ear, and the magnificent
pageant appears. The heavens are one
blaze of light, and one behOlds ancient
gods and goddesses portrayed, lowers,
fruits and sometimes virtues personified,
and in some cases some of the most beau
iful poems in the literature of the world
illustrated, and this done in a manner
which shows how well the carnival pro-
%jectors ave entered, both into the spirit
of their theme and into the spirit of rev.
elry, lavish magnificence and grandeur,
which ~characterizes the southern carnival
festivities. The mystic societies proceed
at once to the ball rooms, where occur the
grandest and most elaborate entertain-
ments that the history of modern times
knows. Rex and Comus, with their queens
and courtiers, preside at these balls, at
which are assembled the elite of the old
city of New Orleans and their visitors,
coming from all parts of the world.
To quaint, beautiful Mobile, the Queen
City of the Gulf, rightly belongs the
name, 1.-The Mother Of Mystics,' which

Death IN A
SNoWSLIDE
Many Italians Lose Their Lives
in Colorado.
WORST NOT YET OCCURRED
Town of Silver Plume is Threatened
By a Huge Mass Of Snow,
Trees and B0ulderS.

Denver, Conc, Feb. PA report to the
Republican from Silver Plume, Colo,
says: Two mighty ~avalanches, combil-
ing into one, swept down Cherokee gu|ch
at s o'clock this morning, carrying away
a dozen or more mine buildings, cabins
and machinery, and causing great loss
of life and damage to mine property.
How many dead bodies lie in the great
mass of snow and debris will not be
known before spring. Eight bodies are
now at the morgue, two more persons
are known to be lost and three have been
taken out alive. The rescuing party has
only penetrated bou Is feet into the
mass of snow and wreckage piled UP at
the foot Of the gulch to the depth Of 70
feet. The dead are as follows:
DOMINIC DIISTAFNO.
HIS WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN.
JOSEPH TONDENIA.
PETER TONDENIA.
JOHN TONDENIA.
JEROME GUANANZI.
JOHN RIETTO.
ENyRIO NAVARIA.
Injured:
Tony Ingrettio, arm broken.
Joseph Chotosini, head and body
bruised.
Ton MalinO, leg broken.
The worst has not yet occurred. Only
about a third of the enormous drift piled
upon the mountain broke away. A drift
about 100 feet in height still clings to the
mountain side, and should it become
locsencd the upper end of the town is
in danger of destruction. The slide today
started in what is known as Carry City
gulCh. 1t swept over the Pelican mines
tunnd house, carrying away the mine
dumps and buildings and filing the en-
tire valley. AS this slide reached thc
main gulch the snow in Swallow Hen
gulch, on the opposite mountain, broke
away and rushed down to Cherokee
gulch. Here the two avalanches met an(
continued their course toward the town
just back of Silver Plume are many
houses comprising a settlement Of Italian
miners. Their cabins were directly il
the path of destruction and We're crushed
like e~ggshells. Trees We're torn up By
the roots and gigantic boulders carried
away like pebbles. A turn in the gulci
just as it opens on the town checked tn
slide and it now stands threatening de
struCtion to at least a portion of thi
camp, should the remainder of the snov
on the mountain side start to fall. Ever!
