A beautiful picture was the setting about
the "Rose ot the Alhambra , " 'the ' most
beautiful of the women of th'o palace. The
center pleco was a magnificent fountain , Iho
silvery walcrs of which spluttered In great
sprays' from the mouths" , of dragons. The
glittering flood sprang from and fell back
into n bed of beautiful 1 flowers , nmone
which wcro especially conspicuous huge
full-blown roses and buds of many colors.

Illustration of the following story : In tbo
year' ' 1394 there was a devout grand master
of Alcantara who was Inflamed with , a de
sire to servo God and fight the Moors. Un |
fortunately Christians nnd Moslems were at
peace. One day a hermit fanatic came to J !
him nnd prompted him to dispatch two of
his stoutest warriors to Yuscf , 'the Moorish
king , lo say lhat Ihe faith ot Jesus Christ
was true -and holy and that of Mahomet
false and detestable , and challenge him to
maintain the contrary In single combat.
King Yusef trembled with rage at the mes |
sage and ordered the ambassadors to bo
thrown Into prison. The float represented j
the two warriors delivering the challenge.
King Yuscf , robed in velvet and ourrounded j
by his guards , atooil beneath a canopy fes

In "The Two Discreet Statues" was Illus
trated the , tale of a Moorish woman who
had led little Sanchlca to the Plaza de loa
Alglbcs where , hidden In n recess of the
wall , were two porcelain Jars 'filled with
pieces of gold , jewels and precious stones
which had been placed there years tjefore
by a Moorish king. Guarding the treasure
sat the figures ot two nymphs wrought out '
of alabaster. Their heads were turned aside
nnd their regard fixed on a spot In the wall
behind which worn the Jars. The woman
revealed to the maiden the secret by which
she could obtain the- treasure , The tloat
represented Sanchlca and her father In the
night. Lope Sanchez had Just torn away

characterize the age and the people than
this home of the Omnladcs of Spain In fho

ternally a warrior power fighting for" exlst-r

from their battlements without , bun poetry ;

Cnufted tiic Dentil of Ahmedi
The float designated "Hafsah and Her
Lover" represented .a scene Inthp garden
j ot Maumal , the most beautiful locality In oil
Granada. It waq a paradise of 'gorgeous '
flowers , from the midst of which arose green
knolls shaded by cypress trees. Fountains
"
of crystal waters , birds of brilliant plumage
and butterflies with' ' wings of flanffng gold
lent enchantment to a scene ot romance. In
tbo shade of the cypress trees sat Hafsah ;
before her stood Ah'med , the lov r. " . .Asth -
legend has It , Hafsah was a poetess , famed
for beauty , talent ) and nobility. She rejected
i Ahmed , accepting 'tho sultan's son , Jn his
'stead out of consideration "ot sovereign ty. and
Ahmed sought consolation In death.

came "Enchanted Soldier ,

of Boabdll , awaiting each hundredth.ear . _ to

bo relieved of his vigil by the' magic' touch
of the seal of Solomon. According to the.
tradition , at the end of every century when
the festival of St. John occurred , he was
permitted that day to leave the grotto cori-
talnlng the treasure to seek the owner of
the talisman. This he found at the efld'of
three centuries a ring on the finger of a
priest. An attempt was made to break the
vigil and secure the treasure by 'means of
the ring , but failure resulted , and the soldier
returned to his watch. The characters , the
treasure , grotto and grotesque surroundings'
were reproduced In a float drawn by four
snow-white horses.
In the "Cove of Saamanca" ) float 10

dragons , stood the devil. Before him a
seething cauldron tended by four imps. De-
yond the cauldron stood his neophytes eager
at drawing lots. For though the devil delighted -

arts within the cave he exacted tribute
from them. Who'ever drew the lucklens

: ham street was onp radiant avenue with
j a , burst of glory at the top. The radlanco
at the summit of the hill lighted up' the
( owerlng o'flico buildings and the massed
. .heads. , qt the people with a dazzling and
' picturesque effect. The court house , a blaz i-
ing pile , .looked a temple ot fire and was
studded . with , Incandescents from every
pillar and pinnacle. It carried moreof the
globes than any other building , there be- '
Ins J..100 distributed about Its -surf ace. Its '
principal decorative pleco was an
Immense shield , eet In. red , white"
aud blue Incandessents which blended
*
with the. general , plan of the Illuminations.
The city hall , was also resplendent In the
form which It has sustained during the last
few weeks. From the cluster of brilliants
held loft by the figure ot Uberty at the
top. Qf the line of lights' ' along the- lowest
ttarchithedlnplay was worthy' . the 'group
rrYo { , .potables rabout the base of theballdlng ,
Tv l.ro hundred incandcscents made up the
, | JlurolnaUonB. The Bee building , with Us
j lntinctlve hlozlnt'-etar. also came In for
s'.l.aiAlWQ of the admiration. The plan of the
Illuralcatlon was simple , lines of light ex-
tending at regular Intervals where unbroken
surfaces offered a straight line , The colors
rfitre fed , white and blue.
. The , general effect of the lighting was
. . .
rniich , strongsr this year than last owing to
hthe , greater frequency o ( the lights and the
( . superior voltaga malntulncd. A year ago
the parades occurred during the rebuilding '
of the plant ot the company which furnished
the power nnd It was Impossible to keep
the voltage up to the standard ot 106 ,
which was maintained last night , A tiotnci
bio Innovation was the nrches of AkSarv 1
Ben , colors which crossed the principal
streets ( at frequent Intervals. They gnvo
the pagcnnt an effect ot progressing be-
ncatb a continuous arch of triumph nnd
added to the brilliancy of the streets. The
genal ' ( lighting was done by the strings
oi Incandescents hung In scries of five
'nlong cither side ot the street. In all there
were ftbout 15,000 of these globes , Including
those used by Individuals. Where the In-
candcsc"ent3 did noV extend the' llghllng was
done J > / ' rows , of , arc lights , ' eight to each ,

No- more Interested spectators of Ihe pa
rade stood on 'the streets last night than
a party of six Indians from the vlirago at
the cxposltlon"'grounds. They "were under
Iho charge of Prof. James Mooney of ibo'
Iliircau of Ethnology and A. Martini , a
Castlllan who was reared with < the Klowa
Apaches and acts ns Interpreter. The
party was mo.de up of Tawaconl Jim. oth-
qrwloD , . ' 'Doubtful ' "dholce , " chief of tlio
Wlchltas" ; Walter Lamar nnd the
"Teacher , " .members of his tribe , together
with "Ai'Bry Hunter ' , " "Mexican Captive , "
"Thick Timber" and "Six Feet , " all of
horn are Klowa Apaches.
The party occupied an exalted posltlou
n top of The Dee building , where noth-
UR could possibly have , escaped their ob-
ervatlon. The parade appealed to them
s something too magnificent to bo of this
; oriel and their expressions of admiration
vero brief but exceedingly meaningful. It
was a marvel 1o them who had spent their
ivcs on the plains of Oklahoma and the
vest that the wblto man was such a mut-
Itudinous being as the surging mass ot
humanity on the streets below showed him
o bo.
After the passing of the parade the party
Isltcd the editorial and composing rooms
nd paw' for Ihe first time the Inner work-
ng of a metropolitan ne.wspapcr. The Hit-
typo nlachln'cs were a prodigy that passed
U comprehension and the giant Hoe press
was nothing ICES than a manifestation ot
ho Thunder God. The Indians were given
.n opportunity In the editorial rooms of
onvcrslng through a telephone which was
onnccted with receivers In dffferenl apart
ments. "Doubtful Choice , " the Wichita
hlef with -famous , and bloodthirsty an
sestry , was induced to npply his ear to
hereceiver ! aftcr an application of coax-
ng and gentle force by the ethnologist In
charge. The chief was shy and timid- but
vas finally In conversation with an Apache
warrior In the 'other rodm. As neither
mewxtholanguage 'of thc other the tallc-
nBu"waiT' donesln , the Comanche tongue ,
whlih''ls ' the5 common language of sbu'th-
westorh ' tribes. After a' few words such
as never before passed over a wire the
warriors lost heart and abandoned the cf-
'qrt lest , .a wprse , thing , might happen ' , to
.fiem ; . , Thetf expressed their pleasure .over
.heir accomplishment , however , and the
'heap strange box , " togplhcr with the en-

Both the day and ntghl shifts of dete9tlves
