FAMOUS MEXICAN CUSTOM.
Ringing Liberty Bell and Repeating Hi

Ignacio B. del Castillo, secretary of
the National museum, has asked the ma
tional commission for the celebration OF
the centenary of Mexican independence
to take measures toward disseminating
the annual ceremony Of the ''grito" in
which the President advances to the
central balcony of the national palace
and. ringing the liberty bell, utters the
famous words with which Hidalgo pro.

annual observance. Flowers are trampled

As the ceremony arouses patriotic SEN

that its place be taken by other events,
such as veladas, concerts, inaugurations
of various improvements and other
means. 1t is considered that this project
will not receive the appreciation Of the
commission, as the ceremony is one of
long established use and has made for
itself a firm place in the circle of Mexi-

The Speakers Disgrace.

AT the afternoon session Of the Pro-

whom the women greatly predominated,
were extremely enthusiastic over the
cold water issues; and every resolution
in furtherance of the Prohibition cause

Toward the end of the session the
speaker of the day was announced. This
gentleman had recently returned from
abroad. where he had been recuperating
from his arduous work in behalf of tenn
perance. Smilingly acknowledging his
tumultuous reception, this speaker at
once plunged into the pleasant events Of
his foreign trip.
