SPANISH CHILD PIANIST

Remarkable Boy Prodigy Arousing Much
Interest I'm Europs. n
A remarkable boy prodigy has been
.arousing great interest in Europe. He
has just appeared before the congress
Of psychology In Paris. His name is
Pepito Airola. and he came from
northern Spain. The accounts Of this
prodigy are marvellous. He. Is describ-
ed as a pretty, curly head, q little over
three years old, who. at the tender
age of 30 months. amazed his mother
by playing on the plano Immediately
after her a piece Of classical music Of
very difficult composition. He natur-
ally does not know q note, but impro-
vises in a way to amaze an audience
Of musicians. He throws into his
modulations an intensity and q quality
Of expression Of which 1t seems impos-
sible that this baby soul should appre-
ciate the meaning. Az he plays in this
way his eyes assume q rapt and
dreamy look, as though he were inspir--
cd. or under the influence Of something
outside Of himself. Then hhe hops
down from his stool and bows to the
audience with. the laugh Of q real
child which gives one%to understand
that he looks upon the whole thing as
q huge Joke. Unnecessary to say that
he is the living proof Of . number Of.
theories according to the preconceiveaj
idea with which people listen to him;

THE Alabama papers are recalling,
with much favorable comment, the
speeches of Adlai f. Stevenson dur
ing a visit to that State few years
ago. One theme in particular is that
be declared himself "a Black Belt
Democrst." Mr.. Stevenson, while
sn official of the Government, made
a record by his belief that to the
victor belongs the spoils," and the
Rrest contrast of this to the policy of
his superior, Grover Cleveland, en-
desred him to the hearts Of the rank
aud file of the party, We are some
what at a loss, nevertheless, to under
stand what an Illinoissn means when
he STYLES himself a Black Belt D5mo-
crst, unless it is that he lives in 8
section which is overwhelmingly Re-
publican. From 8 Southerper the
term would be more simple; the
Black B Its in the South are those in
which the negro voter predominstes.
