CHRISTMAS IN MEXICO
A RELIGIOUS FESTIVAL.

CHRISTMAS celebrations IN Mexico
l. differ greatly from ours and usual
" last for several days. Bright
lanterns suspended in the air proclaim
the glad tidings of the holidays, and
every Mexican jacal. no matter how
humble, puts out its beacon TO light the
steps of the Saviour should he per-
chance appear. The story Of the birth
of the Redeemer is annually portrayed
In all Mexican towns and III SYM
bollc language which the most ieno-
rant can readily understand.
The performance is given by fifteen
players, consisting Of Joseph and Mary
and the infant Jesus, two archangeis,
Lucifer and three Of his minions and
q number of shepherds. The costumes
are adapted TO the Mexican conception
Of the characters and are novel in the
extreme All Of the costumes are got
UP tastefully. and. while strict con
Torrance with the requirements OF the
first century might rob Joseph or his
sombrero, still 1t Is doubtful If the
lesson which it is desired TO instill In
the minds of the people would be as
effective If all the minor details OF the
early Jewish fashions were followed.
The scene of the play opens near
Bethlehem. where the shepherds are
tending their locks, by host of angels
appearing and telling them Of the birth
Of the Saviour and inviting them to fol-
low to where he lies. They follow the
star which leads them TO the stable. In
the Manager of which the infant rests
In the arms of Mary and Joseph. While
rejoicing. Lucifer, armed with two
swords. appears and attempts to de-
stroy the child Jesus. but IS repulsed
by two Angels, who keep watch over
him. Not To be outdone. Lucifer sum-
mons three archdcmons. who fight with
the angels FOR the course OF half an
hour, resulting In the final overthrow
of the evil one and his emiss0ries and
the placing of the feet OF the angels
upon their uecks.
Then the shepherds break out into
rejoicing. and. while portion OF them
sing the praises of the Redeemer who
Is born unto them. others chant IN
harmonious strain the goodness and
mercy of God This feature. accompa-
MED by music on the harp and violin.'
Is kept up until late hour each night
until the holidays are over.
One must understand the MeXicnn
people and their devOutness and in
tense religious feeling to fully appre-
ciate how strongly the presentation or
the shepherds affects their minds.

Eighteen Reported Missing Al.

Gulf Shore

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, June 90
Two Negroes are known to be dead
today and Is others may have lost
their lives as a result OF a cyclone
which swept this section.
The greatest loss OF life IL said to
have occurred In the low-lying SEQ.
ton inhabited mainly by Negroes.
According TO unauthenticated reports
from the east, several persons lost
their lives on the Florida Keys by
drowning These reports, which come
from fishermen, are that q huge swell
passed over the marsh grass island
on the keys.
Up to noon today direct com.
munication between here and the
stricken districts had not been re-
sumed. and some estimates placed the
number OF lives lost at more than
100. The storm came out OF the
southeast. without warning
Because the Negroes and half
breeds on the Keys are a rowing lot
and seldom are counted In population
fluctuations. II IL said here that the
exact number of dead may never be
known. Fishermen who have braveIy
attempted to reach the scene say
they were driven back by immense
seas. The historic old capital here
Is almost total wreck. It's walls
are gaping and many old state rec.
ords have been destroyed. Stores
and dwellings here have suffered
