Rest I'll to 1'itrk.
T wish T could show you Santa. Lucis!
Vo city of the world lias a public park ;
t. compare. wTlh It. If you rould drop
down Into the very center of Philadel
phia. rS;:ltlinore or Boston n mighty rock
with almost precipitous Wfilis "0 feet
hiali and with a base of W wits or
inoto you misht have the paik as it whs
at. Urn beginning. To make it what it is
ro you would have to cover the wall
s itli vine.", plants and trees until the
whole became one mass of green. This
1.1. iss would Include eucalyptus and palms,
rali trees and pines and pemi-iiopirul
Plants mid flowers of every description.
The rock ia so rough that natural grottoes
are forn-ed in its walls, oud as you climb
your way up you go past fountain after
fountain and waterfall a'.tor waterfall. '
You walk through paths rhadart by gi
gantic fern trees and flowers of many
colors, tho names of which aic un
known in North America. Kvery step up
ward given a different view of tho city,
and at the top a beautiful littlo park at
1he height of u thirty-story flat over
hangs the capital of the Chilean republic, j
In the. center of this park, right on the !
top, is a level miaee floored with tiles. I
where the city bend plays of :n evening. (
and there on a curtain t fetched across j
t he rock is an oprn-oir moving picture
show, where the piioplrj n;t out under the i
clear sky o? the Andes, as the doings oT ',
other parts of the world pass before i
them. !
I
urrnn lifted liy Mountain!.
The view troiu Santa L,uc!a. shows the .
n agnificetit location of Santiago. The
town Hen in a fat basin or vallcv stir- !
louiiUeci by r.isgcd blue mountains. It
is 3.700 feet . above tlio Pacific ocean and
In plain sight of trfc Andes. Around
one, side of it flows the Mapoeho river,
further (lonn is tlic IMaipo, and beyond
them arc the rich farms, orchards and
vineyards of tho great central valley.
Tho city Is right under and all around
you. It is a vast expanse of pray roofs,
cut hero and there by wida streets that'
cross one another at right angles. In Its
center Is tho Plaza des Armas, on which
htand the cathedral, the city hall and
other great buildings, and a little further
over, taking up a whole square,, is tho
Chilean capitol or house, of congress, one
ef 'the finest buildings In all South
Aanerka. The capitol building Is sur
rounded by gardens filled with tropical
trees, including great palms, tho trunks
of which are 'a large around as a hogs
head, although they are not more than'
thirty feet high.
Now look down over your feet!
PJght under you begins the Alameda,
the Pennsylvania avenue or Comraon
wealth avenue of Santiago. It la lined
with magnificent buildings and her: and
Ihcro over the whole city you can see the
uplrea of churches rising above tho roofs
of the buildings. You can also see trees
apparently growing right out of the
houses. Those trees are In tho ratios.
Many of the buildings are of Spanish
style, running about gardens, filled with
roses and palms and other tropical trees.
Plenty of Street Tars.
Hut let us go down from Santa i-.ueia
and take a ride through the city. There
are plenty of street cars with woman
conductors, who will give us a seat on
the roof for 5 or ti cents, or we can get
an automobile quite as cheap as in any
town in North America. AVe choose the
motor car. and fly this way and that
through the town. How big the houses
re and how low! Tho older ones cover
acres and but few of them have more
than two stories. They are made of
brick, plastered with stiuco and painted
irv the brightest of colors. In the best
parts of the city the architecture is
Oreek. Tho doors are upheld by pillars
and I venture there are more Corinthian
and Doric columns In Santiago than in
Athens. Others of the residences are like
Italian palaces, and not a few have each
cost $100,000 and upward. Nearly every
great house has some legend connected
with it There Is a magnificent one on
the Alameda whose plans were drawn
in Paris and sent out to the builders. In
.some way they got tho plans mixed and
put the back of the house to the street,
ami so It is to this duv.
Mores Have Improved.
Now v.e are In the business part of
Santiago. Hero there are many fine
riuildings that have Brown up within
tho lust few years. There arc magnifi
cent stores with the goods of tho latest
fur its fine window dlrplaya and its many
arcade. Tho business "blocks are la rye,
patterns troiu Kurope. The tonu is noted
an I the fact that they are not skyscrap
ers makes It possible to cut these covered
passageways through them, rooting the
arcailc with giant. Often a block coiv
tainii'5 several acres will have arcades
tliut cross one another at right angles.
K.ich is a favorite promenade, for the
np.tuue roof shuts out the heat of the
miii and at tho same time gives plenty of
liht. The ktores In the arcades biini
Hood rents.
titorfs Have Iniprovcil
I find a great difference in the s'.ores
of Santiago over those that I saw here
about fifteen years ago. At that time
there was no attempt at di.-play. The
prices were not marked on the goods, and
nearly all dealing was a matter of bar
gain and sale. Now every large store hue
Its plate glass windows and the price
marks are changed from day to day.
This revolution was caused about four
year ago by the inauguration of a de
partment stor. This was a branch of a
big Buenos Ay res establishment. It sold
goods at fixed prices and had expert win
Jjw dressers who rlianged the display

dass of business eslblislunents is going
up. The buildings are of several stories,
v. ith n more regular sky line than that of
our American cities. They are more like
the shops of (Jermany and France than
those of North America, and, indeed. In
many reopeits the town is a miniature
Paris.
The street scenes of Santiago are a
combination of the old and the new.
Y'ou still soe tho donkeys and mules car
rying their panniers of vegetables and
fruits around from door to door. Ton
still see. horses close tq the sidewalks
hobbled by rope around their front legs,
and the ox-cart still creaks its way
through the town. At the same time
there are cabs and automobiles every
where. The street cars have great num
bers on them. Indicating their route, and
there-are motor cars that carry the
heavier merchandise and all kinds of
building materials.
Pari Ronnrli Here.
The people have changed and the char
acteristio costumes of the past are
tramped upon by the heels of the present.
There are Paris bonnets and slit skirts
everywhere, and also women and girls
clad In black with mantits or black
shawls covering their heads, necks and
shoulders, so that only the faces show
out of the black. This costume used to
be common with the rich and poor. It
Is now dying out among those who can
afford the more costly modern clothing,
and tho rich and fashionable now confine
Its uso almost altogether for going to
church. The laws of the church here pro
vide that no woman can comn Into a re
ligious service wearing a bonnet, and the
only acceptable costume Is dead black
with a manta of black crepe wrapped
around tho fare close under tho chin and
fastened there with a brooch. Or It may
bo pinned at tho back of the nock with a
black pin. Some of the ybung women aro
now wearing black veils instead of these
mantas and not a few of them have black
dresses tliut are cut rather low at tho
neck. I have seen glrla In mantas wear
ing shoes of white kid and light colored
gowns, but this is not considered good
taste.
Shop In the Morning.
The manta Is often used for shopping
during the morning, the better clothes
being reserved for the promenade between
3 and 7 In the afternoon, tho hours when1
everyone goes along thej chief business
streets to Bee and be seen. The manta
has the advantage that It can bo thrown
on quickly, and also thut it hides any
slovenly dressing beneath. To my mind
it la far better than the headgear of our
women and It makes many a homely face
almost beautiful, throwing it out, as it
were, against the black crepe. It has
the disadvantage, however, that It Is the
common street garb of tho Santiago girls
wiio are not so good as they should be.
So drefsed these littlo sinners have the
appearance of saints, and no stranger
would Imagine the clues to which they
belong until a look from the tall of their
eyes gave him tho vvink.
I would say, however, that the Chileans
are usually well dressed. The richer
women Import many of their gowns and
hats from Paris, and the men of the
tame class look as though they had Just
come out of a bandbox. There are fine
gents' furnishing stores and dressmak
ing establishments with the latest models
from Paris. The soldiers wear fine uni
forms and the policemen have suits of
white duck with white helmets. Alto
gether the people are as well clad as
those of similar (lasses in the lulled
States, and the business and professional
rren arc more particular us lo their
dress than we are.
Not a t hrap r it.
Santiago is not a cheap city in which
to live. Jt is a town of the very rich
and the very poor. Many of the chiseni
own large estates out In the, country and
live at the capital, where they have mag
nificent houses and entertain In grand
style. The city has a municipal theater
subsidized by the government. This gives
son of prominence has his own box that
costs $400 or J30O in gold. On such fash
ionable occasions, full dress is always
worn and the ladles are resplendent with
diamonds. The men keep their heads
bare during the acting and as soon as
the curtain falls every man puts on his
hat. He may stand up In his seat and
sweep tho house with his opera glass,
staring at such of tho ladies as Interest
Hiim. There Is a great dial of visiting
among the friends in the boxes during
the Intermissions and the opera is more
of a social occasion than a musical one.
Itacea on Sanday.
Another social leature Is the isces,
which are usually held upon Sunday.
Santiago has one of the finest race tracks
in the world. It Is outside the city on
a plain surrounded by mountains which
rise up against the horizon like walls of
snow. Above these white walls is
stretched a sky of the bluest blue, and
In winter, when the best races take place,
tho weather is as mild ss June In YTr
glnia. The ladles come out In their sum
mer dresses and they walk about through
the parks and gardens not far from the
grandstand. Tho race track Is owned by
(h Cluh Hlpieo do Santiago. This club
has done much to improvo the breeding 1
o? horses In Chile, and has made tho
Chilean horse one of the best in the
world. The Chilean horse is a cross be
tween the Flammand and the Arabian
horse brought here by the Spanish con
querors, which through the teroperato cli
mate and the cold snow has grown into
what Is an entirely new type. It has
great staying qualities, with an extraordi
nary courage and spirit. Like tho Ara
bian horse, ft eats but little, and It has
all the endurance of the Arab and the
strength of the Flammand. x
his courage and is still remembered there.
Another striking monument of this cem
etery Is a bronse figure of Christ, li
stands right In tlie center of the city of
tho dead, with the avenues radiating from
tho four aidea of the rock pedestal upon
which the Christ atundd. The rock rep
resents Calvary. The. figure ia more than
life size and It is wonderfully effective
and Impressive. It Is the finest monu
ment I have ever seen In any cemetery.

A Problem in I'.tlqnette.
A red-faced, awkward voting man in
pioschcd an usher at a church weddinc
1 no oiner nay anil timorously slipped Into
his hand a package tied with a red ribbon-
"What's this?" asked the usher auspi
ciously. "Oh, that's the present for tho bride."
"But you shouldn't bring it here, my
friend!"
"Shouldn't?'' he replied tempestuously.
"That's whst this ticket In my Invitation
says. See here!"
The Usher's eyes were moist as he read:
"Present at the door." Judge.
"tanning or tlie company Itself were
brought out. a company which alms not
so much at maintaining one or two well
known singers w ho earn fabulous salaries,
as It does all around general excellence!
with singers of high merit In all parts, hut
who may not be so well known as some of
the favored few (we sometimes do not
hear). In other words It will present dpera
upon Its own merits and not upon tlufce of
some one or two popular singers.
Different members of the muHlcal pro
fession were called upon, and Mrs. Welp
ton, Mr. Sltnms, Mr. I-nndnherg. who spoke
for Miss Munchhoff. and others gave
hearty endorsement of the plan. Mr. Oll
llnn of the Auditorium made a few re
marks upon the advancement of musical
culture ax shown by box office receipts,
for conceits. Colonel T. W. McCullouli
gave some sound advice baaed upon the
experiences of similar cnterprlnes, mid Mr.
Louis Nash spoke briefly from the point
of view of a business niHn. Mrs. Hayes,
former president of the Woman's cluh,
also made a few favorable remarks.
The general opinion seemed to be that
It was a fine thing for the lodge to m,
and the guests highly appreciated tlie
compliment paid to them In being Invited
to the dinner. Shrlner who spoke were
rr. Whitcomb, Charles Mack. W. A.
Rhodes end F. J. Hale. Lucius Pryor.
who Is managing the enterprise for the
Shriners, also made a brief talk.
$
The announcement of the prlr.e winners
and those who were fortunate enough to
he present pronounced It the greatest
concert that had ever been given In
Omaha. Mary Learned, critic of The
Hee. devoted a whole column lo a re
view of the evening, saying: "The sing
ing of Madame Oervllle-Resche mat
more than .hist singing; It was the out
pournlg of a soul bent on Ita highest ex
pression. And those who went, attracted
by the fume of the singer, heard such
concert ns has not been tieard In Omaha
In a long, long time. It was one of the
biggest' events, musically speaking, that
has ever taken plnre here, for Madame
tlerville-Renche Is not only the possessor
of a wonderful voice, hut has the skill
to direct and taste to exhibit It to the
best advantage. She sang many songs
that have been heard here before, but as
they were never sang before. She has
the ability to really do whsf others have
only tried."

Lottery Receipts to. Iheritr.
A part of the race track receipts and
also of the lottery receipts of Chile are
given to charity. The charities are
under an organization known as the
Junte de Lcnef Icenola, which Is one of
tho richest Institutions of Chile. It
gets Its Income not only from' private
charity, but also from Its own proper
ties and from funds donated by the
state. It has ninety-seven boards of
management, and altogether 122 charit
able Institutions. Here in Santiago It
has a home for children that accommo
dates a thousand Inmates and also a chil
dren's eating hcaise that supplies meals
at regular hours to poor mothers and
children to the number of 1,000 daily. It
has orphan asylums, associations for giv
ing cheap homes to working people, tu
berculosis hospitals and foundling asylums.
Under the care of the Junta de Rene- i
flcencia is the cemetery of Santiago, I
which is one of the most beautiful of 1
the world. It was founded by General !
O'Higgins, when he waa president of tlie I
republic along about tho time that John '
Qulncy Adams was In the White Houae. !
Before that tho Catholics had their own !
cemetery and there was no place for tba
poar nor for the heretics. Oenerai O'Hig
gina believed that death "ma keg all men
of one size" and he established tbla great
burial ground.

when the church of the Jesuits took fire
and was completely destroyed. That was
