BIue-eyed Mexican Indians.

From the Mexican Herald.
One Of the mysteries Of Mexico is pre-
sented by the Meya Indians who inhabit
the Sierra Madre Mountains in the lower
part Of Sonora. They have fair skins. blue
eyes and light hair. and students Of eth
nology have always been puzzled to ac-
count for them.
There is a tradition. however. that these
lno'ans are the descendants OF the crew
and passengers OF a Swedish vessel
wrecked on the Mexican coast centuries
before Columbus discovered the New
World, but this tradition is founded on
nothing more substantial than a folklore
tale current among them that their an
cestors came over the big salt water hun.
dreds OF moons ago.

Justice Fitzgerald said ne would not
pass on the question of lunacy com
mission without an application from
the district attorney, and this, taken in
! conjunction that Mrs Thaw was not
allowed TO testify as 10 hereditary in
sanity. makes it seem that all hope that

Mrs. Thaw's Testimony.
Her story was as follows, eliminating
questions:

est I'm everything. The impression grew
on me. He appeared 10 be laboring with
problem. He went TO the drawing
room and heard the piano playing vio-
IentIy at first and then the tone grew
softer and softer
This happened after he would come
hack and after a while he would go 10
the drg wing room and resume playing
in the same way. first wildly aid then
softer and softer.
But the most marked feature was
his Wakefuluess at night. His room
