At this period of the Lcnton aeaion ,
when Good Friday and the holy week
ro nigh upon them , It may bo Interest-
ng to notno of the BEE'S many patrons to
oad of a sect who , though at thla day
ess powerful than In generations gene
jy , still exert a mighty Influence private
nd public , social , political and religious ,
n the until lately , llttlo known country
of southirostorn North America. Dor-
ng a somewhat eventful and checkered
career the writer has boon thrown with
many strange nations of earth , but
imong no ono have aa many carious and
ntcrostlng subjects been found ns among
ho remnants of the former ruloiaof
iloxlco. It must bo remembered that
the Mexico of to * day la the Mexico of
the past , only ns It lo known In legend
and tradition , with hero and there a few
fading monuments of Ha former power
and glory.
A gentleman high to-day In the civil
and military circles of that country ,
wliosa friendship and acquaintance the
writer is proud to claim , suggested that
visit to the scenes of
SEtK-TOKTURE
during holy week [ t.tntn semana ] would
bo interesting and instructive , and at once
lie , eonator Salazar and the writer pre
pared for the journey. The plaza ol
3r n Rafael was chosen for the visit , and
the hour midnight. Under the deep bine
canopy vaulted aa the sky o'tr nc
other country is vaulted , when the work
seemed in peaceful alnmbur and the littli
adobe town was wrapped in a mantle oi
darkness that was buttoned with a single
star , the party silently entered the walls
of sun-dried brick and were received by
the hospitable head man of the village ,
who waa not of the mysterious band , lie
warned each one to bo silent , not only for
policy , but for safety , find the reader
must know that the worshipers there
would illy brook a stranger's presence
during holy tweck , and particularly on
that , the eve of Good Friday.
Throwing about the head and nppor
body a dark serape ( blanket or shawl ) the
visitors moved stealthily through | the
sago-brash acroes the prairie near to a
lonely adobe house , besldo the dark flowIng -
Ing llio Grande , Arriving thiro each
one concealed himself In the
thicket and watched. Within the
house were heard solemn dlrgo-likoeongs ,
chorused by mournful sighi and groans
of pain. Then all would ba silent unti
broken by the croaking sound of an open
ing door , hung npon dry wooden hlugee
( even these a luxury in that land ) , and
then the low spoken words "Qaien cst 1
adondo vione ? " ( Who are you ? whence
came yon ? ) wonld toll of the stealthy
arrival of some "brother" ( Hermano ]
etalned with sin and laden with tha
weight of wrong doing. Ho wonld bo
admitted In silence , and again would the
weird chanting begin. Closj bside the
curious visitors a noise like the step of i
cat-footed animal wonld bo heard ; It tva :
the mocaein , tread of the sentinel who
kept guard against the intrus'on ' oi
strangers and infidels like the visitors
who were squatting almost breathless
amid the sage brash. Rear the doorway
were laid , on a npon another , gre.v
wooden crosos made of plno logs weigh-
ini hundreds of pounds , and presenting
the appearance in the dim station
of some black mass pilec
against the grayish walls o
the wtrahlp-temple. At intervals between
twoon the chanting and groans , a nolso as
of come ono lashing some object with a
bundle of twigs was hoard. Again am
again would the creaking donr be opone :
aud clototl ; sometimes to admit a travel
ing brother from afar , sometimes to lo
out a penitent whoso devotions had al
moat overcome his physical power of on
durance. Again the door would open in
obedience to the sentry's low call , "la
hermanaa vlonen , " [ the uistars are com
iog ] and then some one of the to. iet ;
would go outadvanco and speak with some
of the females , who stopped singly to tin
penitent and mutterirg , "I give this fo
the glory of God , " would bond an earth
era water Tassel [ tluaj\ ] filled with a bitter
tor drink [ agua anuimosa ] to glvo to
father , husband , son , brotnor or love
strength and comfort In the trying hour
yet before him.
Thus the night was passed ; many com
Ing , Lone but the comfort-bringing wo
men going away. The same groans , th <
same chanting , the same soutlnel step
the same threshing sound , as if made by
a bundle of limber willow branches
broke the silence. At length inornln ;
came. The hidden visitors cautiously
pooped and peered through the brash
when , along with these sounds , there mo' '
the wondering eye strange a'ghts. ' The
ledge wa temporarily dissolved , and In
the early rays of blushing morning the
penltontes stood rutslde the building in
groups of two , perhaps more. Over the
head and face of each waa a black
veil completely concealing each one's
Identity ; upon the body was no voatage
of clothing except thin , white drawers ,
all stained and soaked with blood from
waltt to heels ; npon the feet were theop
or deer skin moca ins , and In the hands
was a wicked thong or bundle of what
seemed cruel cordsbut were in fact ttpnin
and stalks of cactus , with it prickly thoins ,
or amolo stalks , wrapped and woven Into
a bundle , with which the penitent
whipped and out and lacerated his back
and shoulders , until the lleshand muscles
quivered at each blow. Thus for a mo
ment they stood.
Presently the loader broke the silence
with the command , "Hark ! lot ns go , "
and pointed up the hill th&t ran along the
great dividing river , The eyes of the
"Infidel" watchers followed the direction
of his finger and there up that steep ris
ing ground upon a bare , stony spot etocd
a great grim appearing crotsl From the
door of the homo up this hill ran a dis
tinct trail or pathway , wtll-braten , and
spotted hero und there with blood that
had fallen from the torn and quivering
loius and backs of the penltentes as they
scourged themselves with the Knout of
cactus and amolo.
I | At the luetant Iho leader spoke the
men fell into line with their faces to the
nuniise , thus presenting their aides to the
spot where the cross was erectt d , In the
same instant n rail man , robed in a long
black gown and marked save aa to bis
mouth , with a black veil or mantle , be
gan to play upon an Initrument r sem-
bling an old arrav fife , the mcst montn-
ful , weird , dirpe-HlfBa'r that ever fell on
human far outtido the dark , deep dan-
geons of the damned ,
Hut not a'l ' these worshiping penitents
fell Into line to whip inJ eciurgo thtm-
elves ; because for some there was a
worse , though to them a higher and ho
ler task. Three stepped with bonded
orms towards the pile of great pine
ogi made Into crosses ; there they each
molt and four or six brothers slipped
rom tbo line , laid aside their thong of
thorny cactus and placed n mighty cross
upon the back and shoulders of each of
he kneeling ponltentos , almost pinning
ilm to earth. Then at a signal , the
weird tnno npon the fifo began again ;
ho penitential line took rjp and chanted
"t as human beings no'or chanted air bo-
'ore ' , and then with ssourgo In
mnd the line moved up ,
not forward , but at a shuffling ,
sidelong gait , singing , chanting , mourn-
ng and beating at every step their own
> leedlng bodies , or lashing the quivering
orras _ of the a truggling brothers whu
straining , dragged the heavy crosses up
and along the hillside , And thus they
slowly moved on ; the same unearthly
strains , blown from the atrango-appoar-
ng life ; the same mournful chanting ; the
same lashing sonud of the thongs of cac-
, us and amole ; the same or Increasing
groans from the heavily-laden , laboring
wretches , who in pain aud blood and
jlows , struggled upwards with the
mighty piuyon crosses.
This was kept np till the head or
right of the sidelong line reached the
frowning cross that stood nt the summit
of the holy hill ; there the march was
changed and each penltnnto prostrated
himself at the foot of the cross , and
keeping up his mournful chorus to the
weird notes of the music far behind ,
dragged himself near enough to touch
and kins the upright beam , then followed
In like way by thtno behind , passed and
kissed the cress and took poei-
tlon about U. Thus oxch came
on ; the faltering hearers cf the
great heavy crosses towards the end ol
the line , were encouraged by chanted
songs and spurred on b ; cruel blows
upon their poor blooding hacks and loins ,
until the summit was reached by all.
Then down prostrate each eno fell , and
crossing and mourning and chanting an
Incoherent prayer , np they nroso.to burst
forth Into the wildest wall that over
echoed amid the stony hills and sindy
vnlos of that wild landl This was the
moment when the supremo1 act of wor
ship had come , this was the signal note
now
ciinsrs's ciiucmxiox
was abont to bo commemorated , anc
quick hat silent , the wretch who bore
too heaviest load , and who had sunk
faint upon the ground at the foot of thu
upright cross , was seized and scourged
sp't np , and weUed with the salted vinegar -
gar ( saljyviaagre ) and lifted unresisting
and bound to the cross , when with louder
groans and wolrdar notes the group at the
foot fell forward. Then all was still.
The watchers came forth determines
to see if Indopd the wretch was dead or
dying. They were quickly scon and met
by half a dozen penitcntes who cried in
hurried tones : "Go oil" , this Is holy
ground ; you are InBdels , go , leave us
with our people and our Godl The heac
of the wretch fell forward on his breast ;
the kneeling group around the cross rose
np , and amid mournful songs cut the
curds and took down the limp and
mangled bcdy , not dead this time , bnl
purified ! Sometimes they die under this
torture.
Slowly the three observers walked back
to San Rsfael. The sickening smell o :
fresh human blood was in the room oi
the adobe as it wai reached and entered ,
and few words wore spoken by either
Often since the wiiter has witnessed
tho'O rites , because ho made It a point to
study the system. Indeed even In Colorado
rado to-day there are men , whlto men
who have hold high places of honor ant
tnish , nho belonged to this society am
dj yet , as for that. The Iron horse I
there ; the school honso and the court
are there ; the march of modern clvlliza
tlon Is moving stoidily on ; still ,
"The little gray hawk hanga aloft in the air
And thofily coyote trots heco and there ;
And the black snake hides and hisses anc
slides ,
Into a rift nE the cottonwood tree ;
And the buzzard sails on , and comes and I
gone ,
Stately and still like a shiri at sea ;
Does half my heart Ho buried , nlone ,
In blistering eauds by tbo llio Grande ! "
The Villlsca Accident ,

The "Wages of Sin. "
The first rendition of the "Wages of
Sin" was given Tuesday night at the opera
aouao by the exceptionally strong com
pany of Messrs. Maubnry & Ovorton.
The play Is ono of Intense molodramat
lo interest , well knit and of sustaining
power. It is moreover tinted with a pronounced
nouncod morality , which In no wleo de
tracts from the general effect. In brief
the story Is that Steven Marlor ( Charles
Ovorton ) has betrayed a young girl , Bar-
barDalo ( Sarah VonLeor ) . She demands
sUiefaotlon and her cauao is championed
by Rev. George Brand ( Charles Man
bury ) , who is In love with Ruth ( Marie
Preacotl ) an orphan ward of Joslah Dean
( J. A. Ho well ) . Marler wants to marry
Ruth to obtain her money and persuades
Barbara to toll Ruth that the curate
Brand has betrayed her. This she does
and Ruth horrified at the clergyman's
work refuses his hand and marries Mar
lor. The trouble of Ruth with her vnga
bond husband occupy most of the action
of the play and cause many harrowing
and thrilling scones , Rnth being com
pelled to steal to save her elck child and
being detected and sent to prison for it.
Finally the villain In trying to murder
his wife is ' "floored" by the clergyman
who had proved himself as true os steel ,
winning in the end , the love and hand of
the tromsii he worships. The various
pcrta from these of Charles Overton ,
Charles Manbury and Marie Prescott -
cott down to the moat unimportant role
were excellently , and In eomo instances ,
grandly sustained , and detailed commtn1
In this direction Is unnecessary.

The State Hail Service.
"How does the mail route system of Ne
braaka compared with that of other
states ? " asked a roportjr of Mr. Griffon
of the local railway mall service oilic
yesterday.
"It is good and is growing bettor al
the time. Nebraska's mail sorvlc
while , of course , by no means full ;
developed , will compare favorably wltl
that of other western states. Wo hav
two double routes ( that Is , night anc
day lines ) which serve to afford rapid ant
adequata transit of all mall matte
across the state. How decs It com
pare itith Kansas ? Well , we have hardly
aa well established mall service In No
braski , as has Kansas , though In proportion
tion to the population It is just as wel
developed. "
"Aro there many stage route lines
through the state ? "
"Yes , hundreds of miles , scattered In
every direction. They are Increasing al
the time , however , aud being replaced by
railway rontcs. Of course as th <
railroads are built , just so fast are the
staga routes abolished. It will ho a long
time though , before our state mail sys
tem will have adopted anything like thi
semblance of a purely railway sorvlca. '

500 hops ; ITammaud & Co. 4,500 ho :
total , 144,500.
This represents the amount of pork
packed up to March 1st. Since that date
there have been about 20,000 hf ad packed
by the four firms , As thohogsaro wotth
on an average abont 812 per head , the
business of the winter season Is repre
sented by a value of § 1,734,000 , , that of
the March season by a value of $240,000 ;
or the total value of packing done up to
date , in round numbers is about 82,000-
000.
000.The
The enormous Increase of the pork
packing Industry can bo appreciated
when It Is underload that last year but
80,000 head of hogs were handled by the
firms interested in the business. So that
the growth of this year's business over
lest year's , is represented , roundly , by
80 per cent.
"The reason of this Increase , I can
hardly tellyou8aid Mr.lJoyd/'except In
a general tray , The hog raleer * through
out the ttata last year shipped the greater -
er portion of their stock to Chicago , because -
cause the markets then were advancing
aod it was wotth while to s cd their pro
duce so long a distance. This year , how
ever , the markets have been decaying ,
and it Is only by shipping short distances
that profit can bo made , Consequently
the hog raisers hare disposed of moat of
their porkers In the local market * . "
