It is the kikIhI. hi lllical and business heart cf this country. Jt Is the pul? of th nation unit the people move an it beats fast or alow. It con tains all of the. statesmen ami moet of th nionry. It is the renter of all great movements, anii. In fact. It might be ,illed Chile itFelf. Tho Santiago of 1914 contains fully one-sixth of all the. people insido the republic. It has 11 populntton I of over peeoofi and Iims duiibled in yiie In I ho last fifteen yciirs. It lias grow n in 1-ranty anil modern improvements. M ha widened its streets and rael them with iiaplmlt. The Alameda has hfronv a ii'ind boulevard, with :i pirden running th-ouuh tho renter .md driveways on each Me. Tlir Coiiino park, tho Rift of the !iiillioniro family that owns the coal r:ine:, has sprung up on one side of the i city and a forest park has been created. kirtlng both of the banks of the Mpo ho river. The Qilnta Normal has been creatlv Improved and Santa l.nrla. the labia mountain that rises s'riiight np out "f tba heart of the ctty. hns developed let" a rreatlon more wonderful than the Hanging Oardens of Pabylon. 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 (( I i 11 i r3V- l VIA III , .letssKJl . utm II I ' .i;--c -S3S" -T..A. .-S.

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. FRANK G. CARPKNTKH. 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." Muatval Xoles.

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. City of (he Mead, The cemetery is an enormous enclosure. filled with old cypress tree that extend j for seventy-five to a hundred feet above tho paved sidewalks and courts. It is a j real city uf the dead, with many vaults j and monuments, the eoffins being stored j )' above the ground In houses of I marble, granite or sandstone. One of the finest monuments la the bronze figure of a woman who stands on a pedestal with her arms outstre(ched toward heaven. This is to conimemorsto the 2.M women who were burned to death when the church of the Jesuits took fire and was completely destroyed.
