Spanish Names.
The International Magazin


In addition to three or four Christian
names (nOmbres de pila) the Spanish
child bears the combined family names
Of his father and mother. Our readers
have probably noticed that Spanish sur
names are often double, or connected by
the particle Y meaning land. For eX-
ample Castro y SerranO, ri Y Margall,
MenendeZ y PelayO, Rus Rivera. Perez
Galdos. The first is the more important
one, and the only one that may be taken
alone. It often happens in the United
States, however that the last IS errOne-
ously used Tomas Estrada Palma, the
Cuban delegate, was always alluded to
by the press as Mr.. Palma, whereas his
cOuntrymen know him as Mr.. Estrada.
Palma is his mothers name. which need
not be given at all, although it is de IL
gueur in official documents to mention
both surnameS The author of Don
QuixOte' is universally known as Ger
vantes, but on the title page of his i'm
mortal book may be seen Miguel de Ger
vantes Saavedra, the last being his
mothers surname. Likewise the full
name of the great dramatist is Lone de
Vega Carpio, the last name being omitted
in the abbreviated form.
The penultimate surname. therefore, and
not the fina', is the important one, and
that which goes TO pOsterity- Father and
son bearing the same clubbing are not
distinguished by senior and Junior, }"
nor ''pere ct fills" but each takes his own
mothers name as a distinctive, the
father being for instance, Pedro Diaz y
Castillo and the son Pedro Diaz Blanco.

He proved to them clearly that their

YOUNG AMERICA QUITS

MANAGEMENT UP STUMP
DOUBTFUL WHETHER THE MINE
CAN BE MADE TO PAY.

The directors Of the Young America
company. with property at Tuscarora,
New, held a meeting yesterday morn
ing, at which discouraging news from
the mill and mine, which has been or
dered closed down, was informally dis
cussed. No action was taken looking
to resumption, as the problem which
confrOnts the company is altogether
too complex To be figured out il. a day.
More or less trouble has existed from
the beginning. first with the gasoline
hoist, then with the compressor and
pumps. and again with the mill; and
between them it has appeared next to
impossible to keep anything moving
with anything like regularity. As if
to add to the distress of the situation.
the grade of ore coming from the mine
has also proved disappointing. and a
director Of the company said yester-
day it looked very much as though it
would be hard proposition to make
both ends meet. even with the ma
chinery working smoothly.
Reports from Superintendent Andrew
have shown that days at a time lately
everything has been at a standstill
from some cause or another, and il is
thought that even should better ores
be uncovered the more expensive old
fashioned steam generating methods
would have to be taken up before much
could be ACCOMPLISHED.
1t is not the intention to give up en-
tirely, and during the next week or two
some scheme for successfully handling
the proposition will be studied out if
possible. In the meantime he entire
plant will be closed down and placed
in charge of Waterman
