A CRANARY OF SKELETONS. igeon-Hole Cemetery of Guanahuato and Its Countless Ocoupants. ACRES OF SANDWICHED HUMAN BODIES, Than Life C Dea st Funerals e ated Serve as H Metropolis. Mexican wh rscs in the Copyriaht 1891 by Frank G. Carpenter.] GuaNanvato, Mexico, of Tue Brr HE str ground of the world is here have Special Correspondenc burying st t Guanahuato, T visited tho curious graveyavds on record, but 1 have never anything at compares with the hor. rs 1 saw today.

Put all ages and sexes to- gether. Tear them limb from hmb nd mix the mass of skulls, legs, arms and ribs to- gather so that the bony fingers on one runs into the hollow eyes of its neighbor, and the parts of tho aifferent skeletons lose them- #oives 1 the vast pile ot this vaulted granary of boues. Pigeon-Holes for Brains nd Bodies, This gives buta faint idea of what I saw today. The cometery of this city of Guana- huato is situated ou the top of a bigh hill overlooking the town. 1rode up toit on a nd was admitted to it by an Indian who bad a hat fully a foot high on bis swarthy head, a rovolver a foot long tied to his leatber velt anc a pair of buckskin panta- loons which fitted his lean legs liko a glove. “This town is & mile and a halt above the sea. The air here is as dry as ave the bones of these skeletons the year round, and naturo wears a perpoetual smilo of blue skies, bright flowers and bracing air. The cometory gives a view of hundreds of low mountaw peaks, overy one of which covers incalculable riches of silver and gold, and tho precious motals undoubtedly lio under tho very boues of these tens of thousands of tho dead. [ on- torod by its wi a found myself sur- rounded by great walls in a court which con- tained perbaps five acres of ground. The walls of this court wers about oight feot thick, and as [ examined them | found that they were 1 fact made up of pigeon-hole about three feot square and six feet deep, some of which were open and othersof which were closed with marble slabs, on which were printed the names and virtues of the dead who wore shelved wway within. There woro thousands of these pigeon-holes and my guide showed mo u card giving the rates. From it | seo that theso holes are rented out to the bodies of the dead, and the guide tells me that the most of them are taken for about five years, after which the bones of the deceased ave taken oitt, the pigeon hole is cloaned out and it is ready for the next occupant. [t costs $25 for the use of ono of these pigeon holes for five years and this seems to be the shortest term Tor which thoy ave leased. A man who wants one porpetually can have it by paying $100 aud if ho caves to crowd his wholo family in- 10 tho same hole ho can have it for the lump sum of £500. Graveyard Sandwiches. The ordmary.dead are, however, buried in tho ground. The city of Guanabuato is rich but its great wealth 1s in the hands of fow. Tho majority aro too poor to buy a vault for any number of yearsand the massos are buried. Tho rates ave also on the rental ba- sis. It costa dead man $1 to lio two years in these burial grounds and after that his bones are taken up and another body tills the hole. The five acres which mako up the court ¢ otory are literary dust. Each romoval has loft some pieces of a skele- ton behipd, and the ground is made up of the dust of past humanity. In going over it, you 800 little pieces of boues sticking up overy where, and at one point where a number of graves was being dug, [ notea pioces of skulls and other bits of skelotons among the mix- ture of dirt and boues thrown up. [ was in- terested in watching the digging of the graves aud in the curious mauner in which the bodies wero lald in them, One digging here sufices fora number of burials, The hole made is about two feot. wide, seven foet long, and from six to eight feet The first corpse that comes gets the bottom berth Ho Is taken out of his rented coftin and lud with his head on a bunch of leaves, and over him is put perhaps six inches of dirt. Tho grave is thon ready for the vext arrival, who 13 buried in like manuer, and so the arosandwiched one on wp of the other until the grave is flled. Guanahuato 1s a very unhealthy city, and the death rate is very large. During the past month there wero four burial v in this cemetery, and I saw six g ondy dug when I visited it Three of these were only balf filled, and tho others hud nothing whatever iv them Catacombs and Mummies, Leaving the court, [ was next down into the great store house for the bones of the deaa ufter their loasos have expired aud they have been ousted by their landlords from their tonements above. Going down a winding stair so nmrow that my sides grazed the walls as I passed, I ontered a long vaulted walled with stones and paved with coment. This passage was well lighted by openings from above, and it was dry wod free from smell It runs clear around and under the edge of this five of cemetery, and is in fact a walled tunnel about twelve feet high, six feet wide and more than one thousand feot long. For ages this tunnel has been the roceptacle of the bones of the dead of this city, and it is now almost filled. Only about two hundred foet of it romain vacant, and the eutrance to it is in the middle of this, I stood at this point, apd looking eithier way I could see tho groat piles of skulls and other pieces of skelotons jumbled togother in all sorts of shapes nnd mixed up 10to one hetorogencous mass of bones rising in a slanting way from the floor of the tunnel at an anglo of forty-five degreos to the ool Everything was jumbled togother in the great democracy of death, ‘e boues of old aud young were piled in aud oo oue another. pr hus wond in ndered among the b ombs at Rome, 1 pt, the burning ghats mations and quiclk lime but the sights of this anger than all.

Some Dead Aztecs, The most ghastly things, however, iu this vault we the mummies who leaned against tho wall, rding as it wi 3 the remains of the thousands of broken skeletons boyond them, There wero at least one h 1 of those mumm was more horrible than anything you will see inthe musoum of Bonlak, near Cairo in Figypt, or any of the horrid examples of South American and Alaskan mummies which you will tind in our national museum in Washing ton. ‘Tho air hero is so dry that it sucks the jnices out of tho dead, and mummies been made not by spices and by bands, but by the atmosph: They are more horrible and life-like than the arti tictally preserved article, and thoy retain the feature nd the expressions of tho dead lled it s ¢ but all the horrible in thousands of Here, ngainst the wall, s propped the mummy of a bearded man, His faceis perfect and the whiskers faded into a bleached dust color by hundrods of yoars, cover the whole of the lower part of his face. His clothes have long sinee rotted off of him and his bare chest,slightly sanken. looks like the parcimout of aw old drum, I tup 1t with my pancil to test his lungs, and it gives forth a hollow drum-like sound of re- monstrance. His shrivelled arms are crosscd and his withered brown legs aro straight. As my eye travols down taem, [ soo that a partof an old boot still clings to one of his foot and that the other, liko all the rost of his clothing has rotted off, long long ago. Next to this ghastly object stands a mummy moro whastly still. It is that of a woman whoso white teeth are as well preserved in aeath as in life,and whose black tongue sticks through theso in asortof leer. She has a wealth of long black hair reaching to her waist, and oven in death she shows some signs of grace and beauty. Next her stands a man whose features scom to be contorted with agony and alittle further on is the mummy of a boy of twelve whose mouth is wide open and whose sunken framo makes you think of a skeleton of Smike, the persccuted student of Syu at Dotheboys hall. A Coffin for a Tripod. I had my camera with mo in this vault and I wished to take a photograph of it. There was howover no place on which to rest the camera, and I suggested to the guard of tho cometery that he go and get me a board. He at once picked up a colin from a little pile which contained the mummies aud babios, ana taking the mummy out held it under his arm, while he propped the coffin on end_and made it stand level by putting a thigh bone from the ereat heap uuder one corner. Upon this I rested my camera and succeeded in taking a very fair picture. Be- fore L left I took cture of this man with tho mummy in his arms, and another of him and bis brother ghoul holding up the municipal coftin in which all the dead of this town have to be brought to the graveyard There are no hearses in this mountain city, ent of flins are so big that ced inside of ~ them, houlders of the of stood nar s,cach of which of thoso hay linen mo thei wrinkles its coffins. Theso c another coftin and they aro car, bearers up the steep bill. As soon as they enter tho cometory the coftins aro placed on a lodge or stone and aro opened, for tho pur- pose, it is said, of seeing that not more than one cocpso is buried in one coftin, and_that the cemetery gets its fuli fecs for every corpse. The roadwity up to the cometery has many coffin_shops, but the caskets, though exponsive, are very rudely made, and mauy of those for babies are painted a light blue or grained inoak. Isaw ut Zacatecas a boy carrying one of these blue coftins on his head, but whether he was on his_way to the ce tery or to the house of mourning I could not: tell. Mexican Funerals, The general customs of mourniug in Mex- ico arc somewhat diffcrent from ours. Mourning is much more general and black is put on for intimato fricuds and for distant atives, It is, however, worn a shorter time but tho occasions for mourning dresses areso frequont that every lady has her mourning st in hor wardrobe. If, for stance, # young lady dics, her friends wear black for her for thirty days, and if it is the voung girl's mother who is " dead, the friends will put on biack for nalf that, time, I do not uttend fanerals in Mexico, but they pay visits of condelence soon after the death, aud such visits are made in mourning clothes Cards and letters of regret aro always sent to the family at the tme of a death by such friond who cannot call, und the announce- ments of funerals are of the most touching and extravagant nature. Funerals are cel brated as o rule, almost immediately after death aud in Mexico city a5 s00n as possiblo after the twenty-four uours’ which. the luw preseribes that the dead should be kept be- foro interment. The coflin is procurnd im- ncdiately, the cards aro scnt out and the ceromonies take place Street Cars as Hearses. Mexico city is perhaps, the onty place in the swworld where the street cars are the hearses, There are no other kind used and the car lines make a good thing ot of their fuperal business, There are 130 day in Mexico eity and you draped in black and drive mourning spinuing ulong the road towards the every hour orso during tho week. I'no funcral car has a raised _place in drivers in for the coffiu, It is open at tho sidos but has a black canopy at the top and its decorations are more or ess claborate ac- cording to the charge for tho scryice. Be- hind it comes a second car containing the mourners and the cars go very fast as they have to go on the same wack as tho other cars and here the dead hayo to run to get out of the way of the living. I'he car service costs all the wiy from &I to 2120 per funeral, and somo of the higher priced cars are covered with silk, and in the case of tho dead being infants or young people, are often wiwmed in whito satin What it Costs to Die in M Mexico city is in fact avory expensive vlace in which to dio. A funeral costs $500 at the least, if it is ut il respectable, and in the caso of forelw tho expenses run up into the thousands. This is especially so when it is desired to tuke the bodies out of ountry. If the friends of the dead ar not posted, all sorts of extravagant charges aro imposed upon them, and the estate of Kansas millionwire named Smith, who died hero ately, paid 2,000 for expenses here. Among the charges was one of $00 for em- balming, and [ beard of 4 case yesterday in which a Mexican embalmer or dootor charged £5,000 for preparing tho body of a_French mia who dled here, for shipment. The work was not properly done and the deconsed could not be sent away, wheroupon one of the American newspapers published an_ara clo as to the outragcous charge. 'The doctor aght suit against the paper saying it was true he had brought in the biil for em. balming as stated but as the body had decon posed before Lo begau, be was' not able to Dreserve -it and had witbdrawa the bill xico, deaths a | | city | comoteries contain the bill would hardly have been witbdrawn Everything, however, is expensive in Mexico and tho undertakers b N high charges. Al of the materials for cofins are imported from abroad though thoy are put togother hore, and the prices are proportion atoly Ia xie At rate of Mexico city d that it averages about thirty-soven in the thousand, and the only wonder is_that it is not higher, Wero it not for the perpet ually bright sun and the high altitude, the city would bo & morgue, a vast charnal house, @ Golgotha, place of the skulls, Think of a which has had & population of hundreds of thousands for many generations built upon nd over a swamp, with no drainage what- ver, and [ot this city go on with it Iated mnss of Blth inereasing ves and sinking down into the soil, and you have some ideaof sanitary Mexico eity, A con stant miasma_rises here at might ana the water is only three feet under the ity uny wonder there 18 ro place in tha world where typhus and typhoid fever is so_preva fent as here! and 1s itnot surprising that th Mexican capital is for many people a fav- orablo health resort? The climate is so equable, the thin, dry air and the nhot sun stck up the julees of decomposition, and such people as aro careful and sloep above the ground floor are in little danger. Out side of the city there is no danger whatever, and if it nad been built on high ground it would be the finest health resort of the world. As it 1, forcigners have to be very careful of their heaith here, and the foreien many upants. The American cemetery contaius about twelve hundred, and it is 50 full that the colony is about to burchase a new one. Still' 1 met several Americans who told me that their lives have been saved by their coming to Mexico, and this country is said to be the best resort in the world for consumptives The great deatk rate comes from the lower cla who sleep right on the sewer-like ground, and the Mexican agent of a well known life insura any tells mo_that, during his first twenty-eight mouths here ho 11d not have a singlo death to pay for out of thie great number insu as a Healthful Capital. is vory high It is RANK G, CARPENTEI, A Suggstion.
