Seville. like most Spanish cities,
has one distinguishing object of more
interest than all others. 1t is the CT.
ralda tower, one of the finest in the
world, whose beautiful proportions rise
grandly above the city's roofs. The
tower was erected in 1896, and was
consecrated by the Moors to use as
a muezZin tower, from which the faith
full were called to prayer in the ad-
joining mosque When driven out of
Seville in 1888 the followers of Ma
homet wished to destroy this tower,
rather than have il fall into the hands
of Christians. Their purpose was
happily thwarted, and one of the most
striking architectural features of
Spain preserved. 1t was not inn

Especial Correspondence

Seville, one of the ancient capital
cities of Spain, the seat excessively
of Phoenician Roman, Gothic, Moor
ish and Spanish rulers, is one of the
most charming of places for the idler
who wishes TO see Spanish life at its
best
Its climate Is warm and delightful.
Flowers bloom in its gardens almost
the year round The oranges of Sc
vile are esteemed as among the finest
produced in the old world.
Its people are hospitable-"sy mpat-
leo" as the Spanish call any one TAX
ing kindly interest in another-indo-
lent and gay. They enjoy life as only
a southern Spaniard can, taking pro
found pleasure in sociabilty, in sing
ing their national songs, in playing
the guitar, and in dancing. They are
as care-free as any people one may
meet in Spain, and though the life of
their city has not the bubbling ex-
uberance of that in southern Italy. it
rs bright enough to win for Seville the
character of a joyous place
The Spanish have proverb that
HE who has seen Seville has seen
a marvel They are proud of the
city, of its antiquity, the character
of its people, and the beauty of its
daughters.
The houses of Seville are very old,
some of them dating from the Moor
ish period II is a place of quaint
doorways, odd windows, charming
patios, and other characteristic archi-
tectural features of southern Spain. 1t
is the home of the cloaked gallant
singing serenade at his lady's bal
cony to the accompaniment of his
guitar, or standing in the shadow, by
her barred window, whispering sweet
nothings in her ear. 1t is the custom
of Seville to have counting conduct
ed thus, and lovers are jocularly called
eaters of iron"

BERLIN, July 2s.-The young
Duke Charles Edward of saxe-Co.
bourg-Gotha, who became the ruling
Duke of the country thirteen days

This storm has been aroused by the
action of the Young ruler in creating
Edward Gutscher, a hotel keeper, a
Knight of the Ernestine order. This
is the highest decoration of Saxe-Co-

German sovereigns have united in a
protest against bestowing the deco
