INAUGURAL CEREMONIES
HOW THEY ARE CONDUCTED IN THE
MEXICAN CAPITAL
Citizens of That Country Are Not Con-
tent With Less Than
Weeks Celebration.

From the New York Herald.
A presidential Inauguration in Mexico is
a matter of a weeks celebration. MeXicans
never enter into any sort Of festivities in q
half-hearted spirit, and the recent demon
STATIONS in honor Of the sixth, and doubt
less the last Inauguration of President
nDiaZ were said to be the most brilliant ever
gotten up in Mexico.
There was just cause for the extrava-
gance of the celebration. President Diaz Is
more literally the idol OF the Mexican peo-
pie than has been any man since the days
of the Montezumas. Then, too, they were
not only honoring him, but they we're cele-
brating their own progress under his long
rule Rule is the proper word, for there is
no more absolute ruler In the world than Is
President DiaZ. AT the same time, there Is
no greater democrat
While the festivities in honor of the in
auguration were most elaborate. the Act Of
Inauguration occupied about forty-hve sec
the Inauguration Of President Of the
United States 1t is probably the one off,
cial ceremony In Mexico where there is no
speechmaking.
The Initial Ceremony.
At o'clock on the morning of December
1 last President Diaz drove from his resi-
dence in Cadena street. which he occupies
during the winter months. to the chamber
Of deputies, distant but a few blocks. His
carriage was preceded by two carriages
containing the members Of his cabinet. and
was followed by the carriages of the diplo-
matte corps, the carriage of United States
Ambassador Clayton following Immediately
behind that Of the president The carriages
were escorted by the presidents special
guard.
Arrived at the chamber Of deputies. the
president alighted and walked briskly into
the chamber and down the aisle to the
speakers platform. The members of the
chamber arose as the president entered. and
remained standing. The president-elect said
AMPLY without questioning, 81 protest that

HEIGHT & COMPANY, 513=515 Seventh Street.

I will observe the constitution of the re-
public of Mexico and cause 1t to be OBJ
served" In response the speaker said. IF
you do So may the nation reward you; If
you do not may 1t call you to account
This ended the ceremony, or protest, as
1t is called. 1t was witnessed only by the
members Of the chamber and few specta-
tors from the gallery, in addition to the
cabinet ministers and diplomatic corps.
At it's conclusion the president was driven
to the national palace. where, in the hall Of
ambassadors, he received the congra tula-
tions Of the ministers the diplomatic corps
and his friends United States Ambassador
Clayton, as spokesman for the diplomatic
corps, extended Fluctuations to President
Dlaz in few words. to which the president
replied gracefully and briefly. This was the
only formality observed at the palace.
The early hour at which the official cere-
mony was held did not affect the crowds.
Mexico is used to getting up early for these
occasions, and the route Of the presidential
thence TO the palace was lined with thou
sands. eager to get a glimpse Of the party.
At II o'clock from the central balcony of
the palace the president reviewed great
the day. The only soldiers in this parade
were company Of rurales, Mexico's rough
riders, who headed it. and few rurales at
intervals in 1t.
Lavish Decorations.
The decorations Of the city on this occa-
sion were lavish. Mexico Is always show
city-it may fairly be called the Paris of
America-and on special occasions 1t out
does any other American city in point Of
display. The riches of tropical forests are
at its command, and bunting and flags,
which form the chief material for the dec
grafton of city In the United States on a
patriotic occasion. are here supplemented
with floral decorations as artistic as they
are gorgeous. Whole buildings are covered
with panels and festoons and designs Of
flowers, which in the United States would
cost hundreds Of thousands of dollars. Here
they cost merely the expense Of transporta-
ton from the terra caliente-"hot coun-
try''-the wages Of a few peon laborers in
gathering them and the expense of putting
them up. The route OF the inaugural pa
rade, mile or more in length. was almost
literally two walls Of flowers The rest of
the city was nearly as gorgeous. Every
business house was lavishly decorated and
nearly every private residence displayed a
wealth Of flowers and bunting.
The night display was even more gor-
geous. Mexico Is further advanced In the
art of electric illumination than are most
American cities. At all the corners of the
main thoroughfares strings Of incandescent
bulbs were strung from posts. crossing in
the middle Of the street. where they were

The citizens of this city and county are
delighted at learning that HagerstoWn has
nrospects of getting another new railroad,
or the extension of one. Surveying parties
are working eastward from Irvln, w. Va,
mapping out a prospective extension for
the West Virginia Central railroad toward
the Shenandoah valley, with three objec-
tive points in Notwithstanding, Staunton
and Winchester. One line crosses the Blue
Ridge at Keyes' Gap and another passes
down the east side of the Shenandoah at
Harper's Ferry. Two surveys have been
completed, coming down on the Maryland
side of the oPtomac and striking Hagers-
town.
The proposed trolley line from Mechanics
burg to Harrisburg is now, it Is sad,
sure thing, and the work on the same Will
begin next spring. The right OF way has
been secured for the entire route. This
would make a direct line from Carlisle to
the state capital, and the next move in view
will be to connect Carlisle, Chambersburs
and Hagerstown.
Mrs Blanch Keller of Hagerstown has
filed a suit at Carlisle Pa, for $4,000 DAM

buildings were illuminated in the most ar
tistic manner.
This path of electricity led to the main
plaza, where 1t eliminated in blaze or
countless thousands Of lights. The front
and towers of the great cathedral were
outlined in incandescent bulbs, ana IN the
center was a great shield in colors repre-
senting the eagle and snake OF the coat OF
arms of Mexico, in green, white and red. In
this shield alone there were more than o.U0
incandescent lights, and on the cathedral
there were probably $4,000 lights. The ca
thedral occupies the north side or the plaza
On the west side is the national palace,
which was also outlined in incandescent
lights. On the south side the city hall,
and on the west side the great portales
were illuminated in similar manner. "A
lavish display of fireworks from the tops
of the cathedral and city hall, from the
center Of the plaza and the south side o.
the plaza added to the bewildering glare. n
band Of over a hundred pieces played In
the plaza during the evening. Every street
had it's Examinations and fireworks.
The Parade.
The parade was in keeping with the gen.
eral ensemble. 1t was composed Of twenty
splendid floats interspersed with marching
men and children, representing the various
Industries, schools and institutions of the
republic, industrial displays and many car
riages. The floats, representing the agrf-
cultural and manufacturing interests of the
republic were sent by the states and indi-
vidual haciendas and manufacturing estab-
lishments.
The feature of the parade was the
Peace float, which brought up the rear.
So artistic was. this float that 1t will prob
ably be perpetuated in marble. 1t was
made in the form Of a Corinthian colon
made, in white plaster, with the columns
at the rear. Inside, resting on clouds of
silver gauze, sat Peace" represented by
beautiful Mexican girl. She was in the act
of placing laurel wreath on the brow Of 4
bust of President Diaz. At the base of the
pedestal on which the bust rested sat His
tory" looking up into the face of President
Diaz and recording his acts on her tablets.
In front lay broken cannon and a frag-
ment Of shell. In the bore of the cannon a
dove had made its nest. At the front of
the car were two bronze lions asleep. Eight
thousand flowers from the tropics decorated
the sides of the car.
