MEXICAN VILLAGE LIFE.
The Government OF the Larger Haciendas
of the south.


A great cotton hacienda in Mexico ia
strongly built, with walls like those Of
a fort; the tops of the walls are often
studded thicIsly with broken glass of
u jagged and deadly appearance; for
further protection, companies of sol
diers are kept within the establish
ment.
A hacienda of this type, whether de-
voted to the manufacture of sugar or
cotton, the raising of cattle, or mining
of silver, is complete little state.
with every appliance for luxury and
security. 1t contains within its walls
hundreds of poems, soldiers, barracks,
II chapel, houses for the laborers,
apartments for the owner and his fam
lily, and every necessary of life for
man and beast.
The administrator, or general man
ager, Is the father of the great family;
hc decides all disputes arising between
the various members of It, and II he is
only ordinarily just, never finds his
authority disputed, but Is looked up
to with much respect and consulted
by the poems in all family matters.
A gentleman who was for some years
administrators of an estate in the state
OF Coahuila told me that while occupy.
ing this position he conceived high
opinion of the simplicity, honesty and
trustworthiness of the Mexican labor
er. In most OF the haciendas the ma
chinery is Of most primitive kind,
modern improvements being used only
in the largest establishments.
FRIGHTENED 6oLlviANS. ~
They Thought an Electric Light Was
Spirit.
The Bolivian government recently
attempted to establish telephone line
between Lapas and Lake Titicaca,
forty-tiye miles apart, says the Wash
ington Star twas torn down and de-
stroyed SO frequently by the Indians
that the government was compelled to
abandon It. The electric light plant
in Lapas was preserved by adopting an
ingenious method of overawing the ma
tives. After the plant had been in
operation but few nights it happened
that there was an eclipse of the moon.
The superstitious Indians believed that
the electric light was absorbing or
swallowing the moon. They gathered
in large body at one quarter of the
town and moved upon the plant to de.
stroy it. 1t was saved only by the in
tervention Of large body Of troops.
The government the next day selected
several representative Indians, took
them to the power house, shocked them
severely, then took them out along the
line and shocked them again with the
wires and informed them that the elec-
trio light was an evil spirit and that
they had better leave il alone, Since
then they have had no trouble on that
score.

PRONUNCIATION OF PROPER NAMES

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune's music critic. in recent notice
OF the music introduced in "Triiby. refers TO the
manner in which Svengali (who Is supposed to be
OF Austrian nationality speaks OF his countryman,
Schubert, the composer. calling him "Shoobehr.

nunciation OF Schubert can be given in English
But why should the actor OF this role be criticised
for doing what is the most natural thing In the
world under the circumstances? Let us take an
analogous Suppose Paderewski. the pianist

As for Svengali himself. have Du Maurler's
authority for IL, in recently published interview
that he intends the name to be pronounced In the

last syllable. just as II one were saying "one. two

Those who have read the newspapers have noted:
