Tbe Capital of Ifedeira A Wonderful City by tbe Sea Festares, Customs and Conditions Letter Xnmber it. raSsdinav A Osr Boabd Nrw England, i v February 10, 1900. How shall I describe Funchal, the capital of Madeira Island? I am so conscious that I have had too brief a view, with only three hours on laad. But so striking is the place that only a short time is required to produce deep impressions. , Our English and our Portuguese guide both started out before us, ana our attention was first attracted to the nature of the streets. All are about twelve feet in width, or no wider than a very small Bitting room." They are not of pressed brick or cement or asphalt, but are of material equally if not more durable. They are made of flat stones set on edge and so firmly imbedded as to remain exactly as first fixed. It does not make one continuous smooth surface, but is more of the cobble stone order, which is a very essential quality, considered in view of the vehicles and the cattle vsed upon them. On the slopes of the hills, which are abundant even in the city, there is not one continuous inclined plane, but a series of quarter, or some less perhaps, circular steps, so that as one walks down hill he steps successively on the upper part of a curved surface and thus avoids slipping, as he otherwise could not avoid. We realized the great importance of this for it rained just enough to make the stones very slippery under our feet, and but for these peculiar cylindrical steps we could not have walked down the hill at all. Of course this is equally true of ascending a hilL And here lies one secret of their use of cattle. With their cloven feet they are surer footed than horses, but another reason is in the lack of food suitable for horses, and therefore the essential expense involved. We saw a few horses and carriages, and quite fine they were, belonging to some of the English residents, but they can not drive over the steep hills as can the oxen. The sledges also in sliding over the stone cobbled roads glide from point to point with ease, when on a smooth, continuous surface they could not. We saw gentlemen riding horse back, and though they went in a canter, a man went run nine along behind with a long stick having a kind of brush on end in his i ight hand with which to keep flies off the horse. To see this ana the two drivers of the ox sledges go trotting along makes one believe that these poor runners have some dim cult tasks to perform. One thing in their favor is, they bave no extreme changes or en mate. The average summer temper ature is 74, and that of winter 64, making only 10 degrees between win ter and summer. And right here is the place for me to say, th it if 1 shall need at any time a health resort, this is the place I want to come. Our kind English friend told us that he came here pale and emaciated, and so weak as to require assistance. Now he is ruddy, healthful and active I v moamcH-a living leswnwoiai or I he Bood Quautiea of the island. I advise our Kichmona irenas, nereafter, tc form colonies, and spend lo e or two months here, instead otin Michiran, and they will receive I rraWS saa Asa k-wn atlt CQtV11 TtfT QT. T. HQ I a r-wi aaot o nn i ir a w wi l r. w. uuii i.uii i' " J "".vrV.V? (j0iiars a month, ana 1 should think could be obtained by management at much lower rates. x - iorgo io say, wnu the streets, that there are, even as narrow a8 they are sidewalks, some 0f which are constructed similarly to the paved streets, but many of them have worked into them nice designs, auu,c"u'" icscuiuimg uum up signs worked in beds of geraniums in our public parks ; others are made of conglomerate resembling our cement. The houses are built chiefly of stone or conglomerate, and have no very peculiar structure, except a form somewhat ancient. In place of drays they use wooden drays, resembling a Hoosier mud-boat, though smaller. They are about eight to ten feet in length, twenty inches in width andl i . . . . ...... I Dave eages, sngntiy eievatea, to noia but irpiirnE rarnpa in l r it miuti e part. We saw a large hogshead of Madeira wine on one of them, and it lay "perfectly ' solid on the sledge. drawn by a yoke of oxen. Cleanliness prevails, and in one re spect housewives have here a paradise; there never is any dust. Chil dren on their way home from school were tidy, and I stopped a group of fifteen, and they cheerfully lined up for me to catch them with the kodak. J also stopped a carro, or carriage, und tried it in a similar wav. We saw numbers of public build ings, but cannot take time to describe them the governor s palace, the Casino, orohans home, hosnital. churches, theater, etc. At the gov ernment buildings and the jail were stationed guards with guns. A pe culiar custom concerning the lail is. that a prisoner incarcerated there must have his "keep" (lodgingVprovided bv the person at whose insti gation he is imprisoned. Houses of prostitution are licensed and required to keep red lights hanirinjr m front. I thought truly it is the red signal of danger to give warning of "the stranger which flattereth with her words, lor her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unt the dead. iNone that go unto her return again. neither take they hold of the paths of life." We saw some of these houses, and in the doors stood some of their sinful occupants using their -ues to Jure into dreadful sin. Gambling Is also a prominent evil nd hoth are nwnk iwmmiiwl and nermitted. At the nwst noted eambline Tla which is kfrvt wid nrn. rrwn cm mit unon th trots In in duce passers-by to go in.

tbe city is thus very apparent, and what a blessing it would be to eliminate this, and leave only the good. But would'nt that be good even j in our b-autiful Richmond? The people are gentle, even tempered and agreeable. They pay great respect to their dead and a large cemetery is in the center of the ci.y, the graves being marked by large marbie slabs, which usually contain photographs of the dead. We peeped through the hedge fence around it and saw that it is beautifully kept. We visited some public parks and saw beautiful palms and magnolias the finest. Exquisite taste prevails. We went to the postoffices and mailed letters home jon which postage was sixty -five reis and postal cards thirty -five reis, the former equivalent to about live cents,. I was disappointed in one thing, that I did not get to see the toboggan sledges, of which Miss Anna Sutton told me. But we did not have time to go back to the mountains to jiee them. Our stay was all too short. Midst beautiful electric lights and boat lights by the hundred (the city and homes are electric lighted) jwe were towed back to the New England and at 10 p. m. started for Gibraltar. I have not had time to speak of narrow street railways, tha custard jipple shaped like a pear but resembling a pawpaw, and numerous things, but memory will hold them in mind till I home. Elwood O.

:ooooooocxxxxxxxxoq Eugenie Blair and her supporting company will be seen at the Gennett theater on next Tuesday, March 20, in a sumptuous production of Wallace's theater success "A Lady of Quality." The piece is a dramatization by Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett and Stexhen Townsend. of Mrs. Burnet t s charming novel. The story is full of pathos and passion with only here and there a touch of comedy. Its happy and, however, sends the audience home in a proper frame of mind. The play will be given with all the magnificent stage settings that marked its appearance in New York. A small fortune has been spent on the scenerv and costumes making it one of the greatest pro ductions of the decade. JOF XO PtTBLlC COXCEKlf Rev.

Two arguments were presented to the senate yesterday In which almost antlpodical positions were token by the two senators. Mr. Teller of Colorado in brief speech maintained thac the constitution could not extsnd over territory acquired by the United States while Mr. Turner, of Washington, elaborately contended that the constitution embraced the acquired territory the very moment the United Mates took permanent possession cf it. Mr. Teller held that this government could make the outlying territory into states or could hold It as col onies as It saw fit; while Mr. Turner maintained that the United States could not hold colonies or daDenden cies. Aside from the constitutional questions the two senators were in practical agreement. Both were opposed to the pending bill and both ob jected to any of the insular territory Decoming a part of the United Urates or any of its inhabitants, citizens of the United States.
