CEDARVIJXK HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE Ot 193!] ¥1 Peru’ s Capital . 1 . Gets New Dress j Lima, Ancient City of the Pizarros, Is Transformed * Into Modern Metropolis. (Prepared by National Geographic Society, WaahlDgton, D . C.)—WNU Bqrvtco, D em o l ish in g Here, building there; Installing modern water and sewerage systems; tearing up rough, age-worn cobble­ stones, putting down smooth modern concrete and asphalt In their stead; opening up new highways both to the mountains an«f the sea; and develop­ ing motor routes to the.outlying re­ gions of the plain: thus the makers of New Lima are transforming the Per­ uvian capital, city o f the Plzarros. The older portion of the city, as well as the newer region which cir­ cumscribes it, is sharing In the mod­ ernization. True the older section is and must remain an area of one-way streets, for Its thoroughfares are so narrow that even street cars must observe the one-way law. Likewise, the sidewalks are so lacking in elbow room that only two' people can pass one another at a time, and the one on the outside must keep a close watch lest he be struck by a passing trolley. Old and new fight for supremacy. The blue-necked turkey buzzards have lost their role as the official scaven­ gers; the ox-cart has given place largely to the motor truck; the old barouche lias abandoned the streets to the modern automobile; and the patient, pnnnlered donkey is making his last stand. Even Pizarro's stern old palace Is feeling the urge toward moderniza­ tion. In days gone by, there was no street In Lima that had a single name throughout its length. Each block had its own particular designation. The two streets that lead .from the Plaza San Martin to the National Palace are six blocks long, Each possessed six different names, one for each block. 1 The municipal authorities wanted to change all this and gave each street a single designation for Its entire length. The one they /called the Giron de la Union and the other the Giron Carabaya. But the populace .would have nope of It The man who did business on the northwest side of the Plaza de Armas still wanted to have his store 8>lo of Shoes in a Peruvian Market. on Escrlbanos, and the one who held forth on the next block still insisted he was doing business on Mercaderes, and they continue to do so. Conse­ quently the Giron de la Union is swal­ lowed up by the several chiles wblch compose It These may be named without mod­ ern-day rhyme or reason, and they certainly are without alphabetical or other indication of their sequences; but the people cling to them, despite whatever confusion It costs the post office, however much it may perplex the visitor, and whatever harvest It may bring .the taxi drivers. How the System Works. Many Interesting stories are told Illustrating how this mysterious sys­ tem works. One concerns a stranger Who hailed a taxi in Calle La Merced and asked the chauffeur to drive him to “BaqUljano velnte cinco." The driver did not bat an eye, but drove like Jehu up Jehus Nazareno, skidded on two wheels Into Giron Carabaya, raced around Plaza San Martin, and .whirled up through Boza, landing his shaken passenger at the address giv­ en—on the same street, but simply „ in the next block from where he started 1 The name Mercaderas tells us of the day when that block was the Wall Street o f Lima and Escrlbanos or the public letter writers who were sheltered under the portals on the west side of the Plaza. Calle Mantas proclaims the square where the ladles o f Peru’s golden past “spent their 1ms* bands’ substance in riotous purchase o f shawls, homespuns, Indian textiles, and lingerie." The history of Lima’s past Is writ .ten In her streets, in names that the municipality long ha# wanted to wipe out In favor of through designations and numbered blocks. But the people of the city cling to their streets with a devotion that will not permit con­ venience to triumph over romantic ties with the past. In wandering about the old city, one comes upon many an architectural rel­ ic of the days o f the viceroys; but, among all of these, none is more im­ pressive than the monastery of San ' Francisco. There one may be ushered i into a porcelain garden where the j artistic tiles of the cloister compete ! with the living flowers that bloom -in >the earth they inclose. , No one has described more beauti­ fully the effect of this porcelain gar- i den than Mr. P. P. Farrar, of “The , West Coast Leader." “Here,” he says, “ la a porcelain gardi n n bn-* d-T <»t .sjuitigtiiuc, wuta* U«* lii-n-sj lit delphinium anil lupine, the yellow of cytisus and the gold of colehlcum,. the creamy white of arabis and the mauves o f aubrietla, blend into the fresh foliage of the overhanging trees and the azure of UiP neiv-waSUed skies," The charm of the story of the origin of this porcelain garden almost equals the beauty of the ceramic triumph It­ self. On a November morning in 1019 a vast crowd bad gathered In the Plaza de Arinas, for there was to bo a public banging, and these events were Roman holidays for the populace. The public crier had announced': “The Warrantable and Royal Audlen- cla of "this City of the Kings has con­ demned to suffer a shameful death on the gallows Alonso Godinez, native of Guadalajara, In Spain, for the mur­ der o f Marta Villoslaffii without fear of judgment human or divine. Let him who did so pay the penalty! Tills sentence Is to be fend in the presence of all lest they meet a like end! Let justice be done!" Came a Reprieve, The condemned man had taken his stand, beneath the noose and the hang­ man was. nervously adjusting the fatal knot. Suddenly a monk pushed hip way through the throng, climbed the gal­ lows platform, and handed a parch­ ment to ‘the captain of the guard. After the latter had read It, the two engaged in a' moment of animated conversation, after which the padre led the condemned man away and into the portals of. the monastery of San Francisco, The crowd, disappoint­ ed, hung about the Plazuela de San Francisco discussing this strange over­ throw of justice and berating those who bad denied them their holiday. But later the reason for reprieve became known. That morning the con­ demned man had made what he thought would be his last confession on earth, to the prior of the monastery, He said that luWwas a potter by trade and that he had learned the art both of making and setting tiles, Years before, Dona Catalina Huanca had brought from Spain a magnificent collection of tiles for the decoration of the new cloisters at San Francisco; but neither plan nor a tile setter had come with them, and Lima had no tile setters. So for years the tiles had been piled up In a corner of the mon­ astery; many were stolen and more were broken. Would Providence ever open a way for their setting? Here seemed to be the answer; the prior saw an opportunity to let the man who had murdered a woman in a drunken brawl repent Ills sins In a lifelong task of setting these splendid tiles. So he hastened to. the Viceroy to implore the pardon of the murderer; and the Viceroy, a descend­ ant o f the Borglas, seeing poetic jus­ tice in remitting the penalty of the scaffold and Imposing a tnsk of serv­ ice that would, require a lifetime, -granted the commutation of sentence. One can see today the wisdom of that act of mercy-tempered 1justice. Alonso Godinez was a true artist, who loved his work and threw his soul Into it. Today “ the, walls blossom with pic­ tures which in their mellowness, rich­ ness, and seductive beauty rival those of the Alhambra Itself; and it is doubt­ ful If outside of Spain there is to be found a finer example of porcelain en­ tablature in the heyday of its art than here.” s Lima is peculiarly a city of churches, with some 70 In Its limits ; and, with nearly four centuries ofi out­ standing ecclesiastical tradition be­ hind them,'.the people are much given to buying religious objects. The Ca­ thedral is a maghlflcent structure, much larger than Pizarro built, but still not so grand as the oue erected during the early years of the viceregal regime and destroyed by the great earthquake that wiped out Callao, the nearby seaport The high altar is of massive silver construction. In the cllapel of the Vir­ gin Is a celebrated Image presented by the Emperor’ Charles V of Spain, and in the Chapel Arcediano an orig­ inal painting attributed to Murillo, representing Jesus and Veronica. Here rests a glass-and-marble casket which Is most Interesting of all, for it contains the half-mummy, lialf- skeleton reputed to be the remains of the great conqueror. Fashionable Hat* Taboo. .The attire for church occasions is perhaps the most conservative In the New world. Even those women who dress In the latest Parisian modes elsewhere put on their plain black mantillas when going to church. In some congregations those who come in fashionable headgear are told po­ litely to remove them and substitute their mantillas before they are allowed to be seated. Among the fine old residences of Lima one of the most fmpressively beautiful Is. the famous palace of Tor* re-Tagle, once the home of the mar­ quises of that name, but now the headquarters of the Ministry of For­ eign Relations. The City of the Kings long has been famous for Its brilliant social life, with a constant succession of lunch­ eons, teas, dinners, dances, champan- ndas, and receptions. Nearly four cen­ turies of wealth, leisure, an 1 oppor­ tunity have written tlielr impress of culture on the descendants of the no­ bility and official classes of the co­ lonial regime. Most of the higher class residents, so to speak, board with their cooks. The latter are glvqji specified allow­ ances each day, and out of tliut are expected to keep their masters’ ta­ bles up to the exacted standard, and to'keep the market men with whom they deal happy through gratuities doled out to them.
