NEW YEAR'S FIESTA IN ALHAMBRA by BOYD WILKINSHA NEW YEAR CISTA I HAMB LOYD WILK NEW YEAR'S FIESTA IN ALHAMBRA by BOYD WILKINSHAW ERE you to pilgrimage to the old Moorish capital of Granada intent upon our own New Year's, you would wake that morning to find the city very strange and very Spanish, but I doubt not full as sleepy as its wont. Indeed, we had not come for the vulgar New Year's at all; it was rather for the Amazonian indigenous one. To the Granada one the first of January is nothing more than a common feast day like a hundred others on the church calendar. But the second is the first day of the Toma, the day of masses and carnival, the day of fountains splashing in the courts of the Alhambra, the day when Ferdinand and Isabella vanquished Boadill, last of the Moors. It is this day which sees the year properly launched in a flare of ecclesiastical pyrotechnics. So it is not surprising to find how perfectly Granada ignores the New Year of all the rest of Christendom in anticipation of its own. The安装mento had been announced as the starting point of a procession of this that so many had gathered early. The Plaza had long been a jostle of color when a burst of music set every one on tiptoe. As we pushed our way into the crowd it was almost impossible to discern any procession at all. Only now and then were there glimpses of red and blue soldier caps and the high hats of the city functionaries. Yet it was enough to set the whole Plaza surging toward the cathedral, not more than a couple of stone-throws distant. We swept up the crowd at the door of the Royal Chapel through the procession and the whole population tried to enter at once. It is in this chapel that Ferdinand and Isabella sleep on high sepulchres of alabaster. APARTMENT OF MOORISH QUEENS TOWER OF JUSTICE, ALHAMBRA only foreigners in the place, looked credulous at the blood-stained marble in the Room of the Abencerrales and paced again and again. THE ENTRANCE TO PALACE OF CHARLES WILSON The service was, of course, very pompous, with the high altar a shimmer of gold, and bright-vested priests going to and fro in clouds of incense. It deeply impressed the peasants who were maniacal. They stood the two hours or more in rapt wonder. After mass everybody flocked back to the Plaza del Carmen for the "flag-waving." On that memorable morning in 1492, when Boobail handed the palace keys to the Catholic sovereigns, Mendoza, grand cardinal of Spain, climbed the watch-tower of the Alhambra and waved over the fallen city a flag made by Isabella herself, and which is still shown in the cathedral sacristy. It was a bolsterous moment when the alcalde appeared. The band had launched into the national anthem, but cheer after cheer well night drowned it. He waited a moment for the enthusiasm to subside, then shouted Mendoza's cry, "Canada Granada, won by the sovereigns illustrious. Fordish of Argon, and Isabella of Castle!" At this the flag was raised and vigorously swept to and fro a half dozen. Then the ceremony was over and a thousand warm-blooded Spanish howled "Viva Granada! Viva Espana! Viva!" There is another thing peculiar to the day of the Toma. We could never have fully understood it had it not been for our young cierer. Let me assure the unwary that one is still as likely in these parts to have foisted upon him a Mateo as in the days of Washington Irving. This tatterdemon had attached himself to us the moment we left our posada. He had helped negotiate for our chairs at the mass, and warned us so as not to be late for the flag ceremony. Like Mateo he was big-eyed and large-mouthed, a mouth which spread in grins as broad as his two ears would allow. It made him grin regularly to the view. He could not understand all that bellringing. It was the spasmic ringing from the watch tower which overlooks the city from the extremity of the Alabama ridge. He had read that its bell was toled every morning toward daybreak to regulate the migration gates on the Vega, but this capricious behavior was quite beyond us. Chicito told the whole tradition of the bell. "You see, senores, it's para cascarse—to get husbands. From long ago, was said that the girls who rang the bell on the day of the Toma and prayed to the Holy Virgin for a husband would surely get one before the next Toma came." After the sista, the whole population made a bravely pligmage up to the Alhambra. On three occasions he mongranates they sauntered, then up through the valley which Wellington planted with algae. Erwin W THE APPEAL. KING OF DETECTIVES William J. Burns the World's Greatest Sleuth. Common Sense is the Secret of His Success — The McNamara Case Has Made Him Famous the World Over. Los Angeles, Cal. — Common sense the most uncommon thing in the world, is the secret by which William J. Burns, whose work in connection with the McNamara cases made his name world-wide, has risen to be crowned king of American detectives. Although he has dealt with some of the most hardened criminals in the country he has never fired a shot at a human being. Burns is the essence of the ordinary. A man about middle height. COURT OF MYRTLES, ALHAMBRA HALL OF AMBRA HALL OF AMBA HALL OF AMBASSADORS ALHAMBRA APARTMENT OF MOORISH QUEENS TOWER OF JUSTICE, ALHAMBRA in its leathiness this romantic glen drew a charm of its own from嵌培 trunks clung over with ivy, with their feet lost in a riot of early violets, and their slender branches covering the road in lacework of shadow. The way ascended along a hedge of burnished laure, where streams rushed and scurried down the pebby beds. After a while we had made the sharp turn, and! the great Portal of Justice yawned before us, and on its arch were the fabled hand and key of the maze in spite of the careless come and go of holiday maze present seems to fall back when that portal closes in a spirit exercised. We begin to feel the witches of Alhambra—the prince of cavalcades, the flash of scimitars, the swarthy-visaged Moors, the romance of captive princess, the teasing mystery of hidden treasure. But we were only to come up upon the Place of the Cisterns to find a band concert in progress. This place of the Cisterns is the broad court lying between the two groups of the Alhambra—the fortress of Alcazaba on the point of the ridge and the palace proper, whose halls cluster about the Tower of Comares. From here we could see the city lay about the ridge in a ragged crescent, and half dozen miles away we could barely discern that crescented village of Santa Fe, the quarters of the Catholic conquers during the siege of Granada. A Spanish gentleman pointed it out to us. But had the scenes seen the Alhambra by moonlight? "No." Ah, only the saints could describe the picture! We were happy enough to see it by daylight, and afterwards followed the crowds back across the Place of the Cisters and lost ourselves in the labyrinth of the Alhambra. That afternoon the courts were all realimate with dancing waters and the soft rustle of streams. People hoped for a whole, whole families of them. The older folks seemed to be in a matter-of-fact a way, and make the rounds or tourily as though they were promenading on the Paseo de Colon. Sometimes they stopped in the Court of Lions, or lingered, maybe, over the views from the Mirador de la Reina. It was all grand, very grand. Those Ingleses (Englishmen) owned nothing to compare with it. Granada folks seemed perfectly conscious of their superiority. No wonder they, to whom even the Alhambra was a matter of every day, should show at the two shows amused, sometimes laugh outright, at the two shows confused, sometimes who always managed to obstruct the conversations at Hall of Ambassadors a whole hour, and who stayed an unmentionably long time in the Court of Lions. These queer senores, who seemed the HALL OF AMBASSADORS. ALHAMBRA only foreigners in the place, looked credulously at the blood-stained marble in the Room of the Abencoreraes and paced again and again, pointing and ejaculating, in the Hall of Justice, where arch hangs below arch dripping with many stalactites, as though inviting to some fairy grotto. In spite of being curiously watched, they explored the suberranian baths of the Sutan, and found raja, over which hung the bedroom of Washington irving. But somehow, on that day of the Toma, the Hall of Ambassadors, opening out on the Court of Myrtles, kindled one's fancy most. In the midst of this court lies a marble-lipped pool bordered with low myrtle hedges. At each end arcades, needled into filgree, leap from delicate pillars, and under water in subdued gurglings. Towards the Darro rises the great square Tower of Comares which mirrors its tawny bulk in the green tinted water. It is the Tower of Comares, as everyone knows, which holds the Hall of the Ambassadors. One leaves the arcades and crosses the ruined Chamber of the Boat to find himself under a great dab of balsam oil, the facets of larch wood. Below, mosses of balsam white lantwiscing in glazed blacks and greens. Above, sallow tinted walls are wrought into a wilderness of arabesque. At first their patterns are delicate as vine tendrils, then loosen in figure toward the upper edges. How inevitably its halls summon memories of Boadil and the Toma! Here were staged the first and last acts of that ill-starred life. The tyrant Abdul Hassam had made "The Morning Star" the choice of his harem. Her son was for the throne, so that young Boadil seemed room-bound, as well as his scapept. It was from poder dee window that the royal mother lowered her prince to a waiting horseman, who bore him away to the hills of Gaudix. A few stormy years and the scene again shifts to the Hall of Ambassadors. The watchmen on the Tower de la Vela have reported a truce bearer hurrying hither from the plain. It is the demand of Ferdinand and Isabella. The Christian is at the gates of the Alhambra. See Boabdill take his throne for the last time by yonder damasked wall. Low-hanging lamps shed a softened radiance through the gloom and make the burnished weapons gleam in their racks. Swarthy councillors with knitted brows stand about the mourish knights finger the hilt of their seismers in perplexity. Without, the green-tinted pool in the Myrtles is plaid and mirrors the turbined figure that finger beside it. Morning sunlight glits its arms, now and then a shadow flits across the curved wall and the curtain falls upon the drama of the Moor in Spain. KING OF DETECTIVES William J. Burns the World's Greatest -Sleuth. Common-Sense Is the Secret of His Success — The McNamara Case Has Made Him Famous the World Over. Los Angeles, Cal. — Common sense the most uncommon thing in the world, is the secret by which William J. Burns, whose work in connection with the McNamara cases made his name world-wide, has risen to be crowned king of American detectives. Although he has dealt with some of the most hardened criminals in the country he has never fired a shot at a human being. Burns is the essence of the ordinary. A man about middle height, broad and shouldered, with prominent features, a pair of gray eyes that bore through the wall beyond, redshied brown hair, beyond, age; his mustache tinged with gray attired probably a bit more carefully and up to date than the average business man, and with a manner alert and positive, he presents not the appearance of a detective, but to the unknown passes off for a prosperous citizen of fastidious taste regarding dress. Burns was appointed to the government secret service in 1890 and was located in the west, working in Indian territory, Texas, Arkansas and the south. He was soon placed in charge of that district, and in 1894 was transferred to Washington, where he was promoted for good work, and got a roving commission, going wherever there was an unusually important case. One of the biggest feats in those days was the running down of the principles in the Brockway-Bradford Courtney gang of counterfeiters. When this gang was run to earth and cornered in a building in West Hoboken, N. J., they had in their possession more than $2,000,000 in gold certificates and a lot of Canadian counterfeit notes. So accurate were the gold certificates the government had already accepted $80,000 worth of them, and in order to pick the bogus from the genuine it was necessary to summon one of the counterfeiters to Washington. Another brilliant piece of defective work by Burns was in connection with extensive land frauds in the west. He was more than three years on this case and when he had finished and turned the evidence over to the government it resulted in the conviction of United States Senator Mitchell of Oregon and of two wealthy land owners, Hyde and Benson of California. From these land cases Burns went to San Francisco to dig amid the mass of political and municipal corruption in that city. Three years were necessary for the investigation. It resulted in sending Mayor Schmitz to the penilientary for five years; Ruef, the political boss, for fourteen years; Glass, vice-president and general manager of the Pacific State Telephone company, and several others to prison for various periods. Burns, notwithstanding the nature of his question, has a strong belief in the integrity of human nature. "There never was a time," he when the moral sentiment of the people was more easily and quickly aroused at than at present, or when there was a finer sense of honesty in the various relations of daily life. Even bad men want good government—if they are not making money out of bad government. Nor do I believe in the heredity of crime. Lombroso and other scientists speculate and write essays, but coming right down to common experience, which is a better test than philosophy or long tables of figures, I know that environment and not birth is the one great cause of criminal conduct." He has always held that the detective must simply a matter of common sense. He has insisted his subordinates that every crook, no matter how clever he is, always leaves a trail behind. Intellectually, Burns is the most resourceful and brilliant detective in the United States. Nowhere else on earth, perhaps, can anyone match him in the ability to think out the snarled problems of mystery and crime. YOUNG WOMAN BULLFIGHTER Senorita Terara Vlas With Men of Mexico in Playing With Death in the Arena. Mexico City—Senorita Terara, the woman bulldigger, has for many years been something of a character about this city. The fighting of bulls is the first passion of the peoples of Spanish blood and the great arena in Mexico City is such to make any other place of amusement the world around look to its honors, for in it may be seated 100,000 people and every seat Senorita Terara. looks directly into the bull ring. Here the Senorita Terera has met many a wild and longhorned bull from the mountains and played with death between his horns. The secret of bull-fighting lies in self control, for the successful fighter must stand still until the bull is within an arm's reach before beginning the leap to one side. If this movement is made too soon the animal has time to change its course and may overtake and dispatch the bullfighter. Senorita Terara has vied with the men of Mexico for years in this dangerous amusement and is still alive to repeat her exploits. The bull fight was once popular in ancient Greece and Rome and was introduced by the Moors into Spain from whence it passed to the Spanish colonies throughout the world. The bull fight is held in an arena of more or less magnificence. The bulls are outed one by one with many forms of pomp and ceremonial where they are assailed, first by horsemen, they are attacked, them with the lance; second, by handcuffed arms with sharp pointed arms and flags; and, third, by the matador, who the sword gives the cope de grace to the tortured bull, sheathing the blade with one sure thrust up to the hilt in the body of the bull just at the juncture of the neck and spine. Some times more than a score of bulls are killed at one entertainment. In Spanish countries the bullfighter is a popular hero. WILL LIVE IN A HOUSEBOAT Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins of New York and Their Baby to Thus Spend the Winter. New York. While other babies are taking掌es with croup and influenza in the north this winter, little John Randolph Hopkins will be enjoying life cruising about Florida inland waters in a houseboat. Of course his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Hopkins, will be with him, so that there will be little chance of his Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins and Baby. falling overboard and becoming a free lunch for a hungry alligator. John Randolph Hopkins is a very lucky youngster. He is worth $5,000,000 in his own right, a tidy sum of which he become possessed when he reaches twenty-one. Probably by that time the fortune will have doubled or trebled. While ordinary children must get their pleasure from rag dolls and Teddy bears, young John Randolph Hopkins has the advantage of a real live menagerie his father maintains on the roof of his Fifth avenue mansion in this city. The live Teddy bears, however, will not go to Florida; they have been sent to the Hopkins country home at Irvington. $2.40 PER YEAR: CHINA'S STRONG MAN Both Factions Offer Leadership to Yuan Shi Kai. Craft Oriental Turned Tide In Boxal/Revolt by Shooting Man Protected by "Bullet Proof Oath"—Friend of the People. Shanghai—Yuan Shi Kai, called "the strong man of China," towards the eyes of all the world today are turned, has been offered the premiership by the throne and the presidency by the Republicans. It is pointed out that at the time of the Boxer war, Yuan was the one man in China who could command the respect of foreigners and at the same time unite the warring Chinese. Yuan accepted the premiership, considering it the best opportunity to bring about peace. A few days after he had assumed these duties he told his friends that he had thought the situation over carefully and concluded that there is no hope of saving the Manchu dynasty and that a change of government is inevitable. Yuan is said to be of low birth, meager age, and superficial knowledge. He has never traveled beyond the borders of his own country and he speaks no language but his own. His countrymen say that the strength of his appeal to them lies in the fact that he is quite generally and firmly believed, throughout the empire, to be patriotic. His deposition from power for three years, 1908 to 1911, was due to his having repeatedly compelled the Manchu princes to relinquish certain revenues which they were using for private purposes, that he might have money to build up the army and to institute reforms in the schools. Yuan always seemed to have in mind some ultimate benefit to the people at large, regardless of the personal wishes of the ruling dynasty. The incident that brought Yuan to the notice of the crafty old empress dowager and the admiration of the foreign diplomats occurred while he Yuan Shi Kal. was mayor of a small town in the Province of Shantung. The Boxer movement was strong and many of the most reputable Chinese were on the verge of joining it, when Yuan decided that he must take an impressive stand against the fanatical ascendency of this secret order. One of the tenets of the Boxer faith was that participation in the rites of the order rendered a person immune to the effect of bullets. They believed "forever bullets" could not hurt them with their guns. When Yuan was invited to join the Boxers he did not dare refuse, and he did not wish to accept, because he saw defeat ahead for them. "I will join with you," he said, "upon one condition—that you prove to me you cannot be harmed by foreign bullets." The Boxer committee agreed to the test, and one enthusiastic Boxer stood against the wall of the mayor's garden to be shot at by Yuan himself with a new model Martini-Henry rifle. Yuan smiling explained that this test settled for all time in the minds of the citizens how unimportant was this boasted power of the foreign devils. The Boxer leader was reverentially entombed at Yuan's expense and prayers were said over his grave for 100 days. Defective Page This is the man of nerve, cunning a diplomacy who is being called upon.

The mob spirit which seems to have possession of the hearts of the Southerners is something terrible; and, instead of diminishing, it seems to grow stronger, despite the denunciations of the pulpit and press. Of course, this mob spirit is usually directed most strongly toward one with a black skin, but people with white skins are made the sufferers by it also, because of the searing of the consciences of the people where black-skinned people are the victims. Vice is a monster of so hideous mien, That to be hated, needs but to be seen; But seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace. Only a few days ago a black man was sentenced to be hung by the legal authorities at Jackson, Ga., and, in order that the unaccountable, inhumane, unchristian, diabolical mob spirit might be satisfied with proper eclat, the officers of the county allowed the execution to be held on the stage of the local opera house, while the mob [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie and a badge on his lapel].

A Man of Whom Jail Held packed the house, and the boxes were filled by the relatives and friends of the man who had been killed by the victim of this legal lynching. We can scarcely conceive the low state of the morals of any people who would wish to witness the putting to death of a brother human being, and actually fight for seats in the theatre where the legal lynching was to be persecuted. How people with such hearts can hope for heaven, we cannot understand. Conditions in Russia and America Similar. Mr. Suvorin, editor of the St. Petersburg Novoe Vremya, said in a recent interview: "I have nothing against the Jews personally, but as a Russian Patriot, I am opposed to them. If the Jews were given freedom in Russia, the entire native population, because it is so uncultured, would find itself in the hands of the Jews. All the wealth of Russia would go over to the Jewish people." He admitted that "the struggle is beyond question as savage one, but then our people are savages. The editor's statement is brutal and reminds one of some of the utterances of Tillman, Vardaman, Hefflin, Hoax Smith and other famous or infamous American statesmen. In the days when the "bustle" was a very necessary adjunct to a fashionably attired female a lot of fun was poked at the bustle and its wearers. They used to be made of all sorts of things, good, bad and indifferent, but it remains for an old woman in Portland, Me., to have the most valuable stuffing for hers. It seems that although the bustle went out of style many years ago, she clung to hers, and when she died suddenly a few days ago and an examination of her bustle disclosed the fact that she had $10,000 in bills in it, and none of them of a more recent issue than 1886. The simple interest on $10,000 for the 25 years since 1886 at 6 percent, will amount to $15,000. A rather expensive article of the toilet it has been, to say the least. If any one is anxious to see an honest man, Minnesota can produce him. Twenty-one years ago F. A. Bean, a miller of Faribault, failed for $100,000. Bean was 51 years old when the crash came, but he put on his hustling clothes and accumulated a couple of hundred thousand dollars, and now, at the age of 72, he is paying off all the old claims against him and paying 6 per cent. interest besides, although none of the claims are legal, having outlawed. However, he is in New Prague distributing his $200,000 among his old creditors as Christmas gifts. He is a real Santa Claus. The Christmas spirit is abroad in the land, and there are very few people who are not doing all they can to carry it out, and many will "go broke" doing so. It, however, seems that Mrs. George J. Gould is to be the Lady Bountiful of the season, as she has arranged to give a present to every child in her home town, Drybrook, Del. What a happy lot of kids there will be, but Mrs. Gould, who will be present at the distribution, will derive more pleasure out of it than any one, upon the principle that it is more blessed to give than to receive. It is reported from Bristol, in the more or less grand old commonwealth of Virginia, that hundreds of "good citizens," who have been engaged in selling their votes, will escape prosecution and punishment through a legal technicality. As the Afro-American has been disfranchised, these vote-sellers are all Caucasians. Some years ago there was a lot of rot in the papers about "venal Negro voters," but it seems that nowadays the vernal white man is on deck. Miss Lillian Russell, the ever beautiful, is getting a lot of free advertising nowadays, as the newspapers are saying she is to make her fourth matrimonial venture next May. This time he is a newspaper man, and she says she will retire from the stage permanently. Well, it's a long time until May, and we'll wait and see. They do say, in business circles, that the dawn of another year of prosperity will take place with the advent of 1912. This is based upon certain conditions, agricultural and otherwise, that are beyond our ken, but we certainly hope the aforesaid prognostications will be fully realized. Champion Jack Johnson, about whom much has been said relative to his taking on flesh, etc., showed that he was "fit as a fiddle" at a little bout pulled off in Chicago Wednesday. It is quite likely he will still hold his title for several moons to come. Since Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad, the show girls, were acquitted of shooting E. D. Stokes in the legs, we may look for some other notoriety hunting girls to try the trick. Look out, fellows. The mob is rapidly approaching the capital of the nation! The other day there was a lynching at Baltimore only 40 miles away. Death of the Old Year the old year, lies a dying Old year, you must not die. You came to us so readily.

The Message of the Bells The metal tone of the big bell rings out many changes to our modern ears. In many parts of England the bell which tolls the old year out is called the "Old Lad's Passing bell." In western England the bell peals merrily on "Oak Apple Day," to celebrate the escape of Charles at Boscoel. Another bell, rung at the beginning of Lent, is known as "Pancake Bell," because, in old-time phrase, it "summons people away from their pancakes to confession and fasting." A lively peal of bells is often rung at the end of the Sunday morning service, and is called "Pudding Bell." Perhaps its purpose is to announce to the stay-at-homes that service is over and that the pudding may come out of the oven.

Mrs. Julia Billings, matron of the ladies' rest room at the land show at the Auditorium last week, on Thursday night found a purse.

The woman drew a large roll of bills from the purse and counted them, and, finding the $800 intact, heaved a sigh of relief. She found a purse in the purse and fished up 20 cents, which she graciously presented to the honest matron. It is safe to say that the owner of that purse will never die of enlargement of the heart. One of the most gruesome murders in the annals of the city, among us, was committed on Tuesday night, when George W.

It is generally believed that Parker was insane, as there could not have been any motive for him to wreak such vengeance upon a woman in bed and practically helpless from paralysis. Mr. Parker, out of the city, out of the city at the time and will not return until some time today. Notice of time and place of funeral will be given in the daily papers and the pulpits.

No novel since "Uncle Tom's Cabin" has been perennially more popular wherever the English language is spoken than "St. Elmo," by Augusta Evans Wilson, who was the Harriet Beecher Stowe of the South, where even "Uncle Tom's Cabin" did not circulate widely, and was never played by her. But her greatest novel, Mrs. Evans Wilson, has widely avoided all topics which might excite sectional differences and confined herself to a powerful and charming romance of the old South in the days when dueling was in vogue.

Alsop, as St. Elmo, and Mies Armstrong, as Edna Earl, in "St. Elmo," at the Grand New Year's week. Southern aristocracy, who has "killed his man"), through the influence of Edna Earl, a proud and high-minded little mountain girl, who, by sheer strength of will and intellect, rises to heights undreamed of under the old regime. It is a contest between the old South and the new South, and, because Mrs. Wilson so accurately forecasted the outcome of events after the war, no less than her powerful story of human interest, which is always fresh and vital, her story has survived. During her long career, the authoress and her publishers jealously guarded the dramatic rights of the novel, but shortly before her death, Willard Holcomb, a Washington newspaper man and playwright, secured her authorization for a stage version of "St. Elmo," and transferred the producing rights to Vaughan Glaser. New companies are being organized all over the country for the presentation of the genuine and authentic version of the famous romance, with complete scenic equipment painted from original models, duplicate furniture and costumes of the period, and the original and unique lighting effects as developed by them. This production will appear at the Grand New Year's week, commencing Sunday matinee, Dec. 31, and including a special matinee on New Year's day. Anything the Matter With Your Stove?
