LED BY A LAD.

A Little Mexican Piloting Six Mexicans
 To New York, En Route To Spain.
 New Orleans Times-Democrat: Char ley Gonralz is mere lad. He says he is ten years old, but he does not look month over seven. Charley walked brisl1ly up the corridor of the Grune- wald hotel Sunday night, with the air of business man and one of dele gation of diplomats who might be ready to declare war. He was the leader of a party of six Mexicans from Mexico City. who are en route to Spain.
 Although small for his age, Master Charley is a thorough business man. He has long, peaked head, set down on two dropping little shoulders. He can speak English, and he can transact business in the United States like an old-timer and he is making the trip to New York with the six grown Mexicans to interpret for them, buy their tickets, pay their hotel bills, and sit at the table and order their food. When a | Times s-Democrat reporter sent up a card to the man who had the most formidable appearing name on the register little Charley accompanied it back and said he was iR charge.
 'We are on our way to Spain to pur- chase a lot of electrical supplies for an immense plant at Tarreon, Mexico" said the interpreter in as clear-cut English as is ever heard, and the little 1 lad fumbled with his mammoth leather watch chain. He wears a big, silver watch and has a chain that is a mans size, and more, too. q am from Tar reon," contained the lad, in reply to a request to tell something about him. | self, land I came with them because ] the manager of the electrical plant came over to our house and asked me to go with them as far as New York. | They wanted somebody who could talk English. I learned to speak it at the missionary school taught by lady there. When we get to New York will return to Mexico, and the six men you see registered on the book will go to Spain
 The visitors from Mexico were ty- pical, swarthy natives. They spent most of the evening in the cafe, enjoy ing light drinks.
 "These men are going to Spain" said ] Charley, "the second time, and they are after some electrical fixtures for Fthe new plant at Tarreon.
 But about the corridors of the hotel the general impression was that the six men bound for Spain were more in- terested in the war than in electrical appliances. They looked to be good Spainards, but then they spoke not word of English and Charley, the com mander in charge, said they were going 1 for electrical appliances. The lad was the object of much admiration He was such frail little figure, and had rest ing on his young shoulders so import ant mission.

4 FAMOUS DISH.
With a New and Savory Flavor

Chop beef, mutton or pork into a hash. Take quantity of Grape Nuts equal to half the amount of meat. Mix into the Grape-Nuts a raw egg and what milk it will take up.
 Salt and pepper to taste.
 Now thoroughly mix meat and all into hash, form into patties like sau- sage and place in a hot skillet with only enough butter on bottom to pre- vent sticking. Place cover over the skillet and cook until done.
 Put a little piece of butter on top of each patty if they tend to become dry, but do not use enough to make greasy
 Serve hot and you will discover that the meat has acquired a most savory flavor from the Grape-Nuts and at the same time it has been rendered easily digestible and the elements in the Grape-Nuts furnish most valuable nourishment for athletes as well as in- VaIids.
 Grocers sell Grape-Nuts.

THE SPECIAL ABILITY OF THE
 WEAK MINDED.

Insane people and maniacs freuently tivity and idiots frequently display special aptitudes in which they become superior to normal men, some of them becoming true prodigies, as is shown by Dr. Peterson in The Popular Science Monthly, October, 1896, especially in arithmetical and musical ability, with a particular inclination to initiate in models, drawings, and pictures the ob- jects which they have before them.
 One of the most curious examples of this is Blind Tom," pure- -blooded ne- gro, born in Georgia in 1S40. Born blind he showed no intelligence, except for sounds. He could not a speak a word, but he could repeat any sound which he heard. Merely by the aid of sound he could repeat Greek, Latin, German, and English texts, however long after he had heard them recited, could play on the piano from memory any piece however difficult to follow, and had earned by memory five hundred pieces of music.
 Among cases of extraordinary mem~ ory in idiots Morel cites a cretin who remembered the date of the funerals of all the persons who had died in his parish within thirty-five years, with the names of those who had taken part in these funerals. Morel also cites the case of an idiot who could not count up to twenty, but who knew the names of all the saints in the calendar with dates of their respective feasts.
 As to the initiative faculty the most curious cases are cited. As the asy- lum of Earlwood there was an idiot who constructed perfect model of a ship with all it's more minute details. Geoffry Mind a cretin who died in 1914, drew cats with so much skill that his drawings are preserved in all the leading museums of Europe. Gideon Buxton, the famous lightning calcu- ator, who died in 1702, was stupid and Zerah Colburn, exhibited at the age of six as a lightning calculator could never learn anything. He has six toes and many characteristics of degener- acy Dasah was absolutely a fool, and yet he could multiply mentally num- bers of eight and ten igures.-Lom- broso in The Monist.

PASSIONS SLAVE.

John A. Stevens great comedy drama, which comes to the above the ater next Thursday, and has been made renowned by MT. Stevens, has not lost it's stronghold which it has en- joyed in past years on the public, the drama and players are welcomed by crowded houses wherever the play is produced, the pathetic events of this great drama are skilfully worked out with steadily increasing hold on the at- tention of the audience, and their curi- osity as to the final outcome is con- stantly stimulated.
 The cast is headed by the well known actor, George A. Weller, accompanied by Miss Mildred Hyland and is SUD- ported by an excellent company of metropolitan players.

Town Clerk Brethauer ran far ahead of his ticket, polling 2,500 more votes than MT. Hum, his republican compet~ itor. He appeared more than satisfied with this "vindication."
 William H. Preston, republican can didate for registrar of vital statistics ran ahead of his ticket, but was 1924 votes short of James J. Carr, who was elected.
 The socialists averaged about APO votes for candidates on their town ticket, the republican 4,S00 and the democratic 6,500.
 Notice of contest of the election of Ayres, rep, as selectman, was present. ed by Chairman Coates of the Ninth ward republican committee on behalf of Rose, the defeated republican can didate. The protest was based on an evident error in the returns of the vote of the Ninth ward, whereby Rose was credited with some eighty or more less votes than any one else on the repub- lican ticket. These eighty votes can not be accounted for by any increase of the votes of other candidates; hence it is probable that there was an error in the returns. Had MT. Rose been credited with these eighty votes he would have been elected in place of Mr. Ayres.
 Moderator J. H. Kelly ruled, howev- CT, that as he had already declared the vote when the protest was presented, the only way in which the error could be remedied would be by an appeal to the courts. The office of selectman under the new order of things is hard ly worth such an appeal, and MT. Rose will probably make no move in the matter.
 The election passed off quietly and the vote was light. Most of the re- turns from the wards were in early ir the evening. The Fifteenth ward re- turns were the last to be counted, the vote of the ward not being returned until after 10 o'clock.
 Samuel K. Page, the defeated repub- lican candidate for alderman in the Eighth ward, is one of our well known carriage manufacturers, and had he been elected would have made very efficient official, but he was caught 1T the democratic sweep and failed tt land His successful opponent, Antor Staub, is the merchant tailor on State street He and John c. Gallagher car ried the ward on the democratic ticke' in 1892, MT. Staub for first councilman and Mr. Gallagher for alderman.

 Alderman Chillingworth, republican of the Tenth, and Alderman Brennan, democrat of the Fourth, are the only aldermen reelected. There is already talk among the democrats of electing Alderman Brennan president of the board.
 As they have a majority of the com mon council the democrats will elect in June an assistant city clerk to succeed Edward A. Street. Candidates already in the field for the plum are James B. Martin, chairman of the democratic town committee, and Sylvester Chase, democratic candidate for alderman from the Tenth.
 The city will have another "wet" year notwithstanding the recent crusade of a New York journal, the vote for li- cense being 6,944 as against 1,961 for no license, considerable falling off in the no license vote this year.

 After the votes were counted in the town and city election yesterday there was not much that the democratic polA iticians could ask for but the fence.

The democrats also elected twelve of the fifteen alder men voted for and twenty nine of the forty-f1ve councilmen.
