STRICKEN DUMB
ON THE STAGE
Singer Broke Down and Has Not Been
Able to Speak Word.

NEW BEDFORD. Mass. July 20
Whether Charles J. B. Paquette, a
young singer who broke down while
singing at the Pastime theatre in Bos-
ton, was made dumb through stage
fright, or some disease is a question
upon which two medical experts can
not agree.
Paquette, who is % years old, has
not been able to utter word since
he started to sing his second song on
his first appearance as professional
in tle Boston amusement house. last
Monday afternoon.
Dr. Alphonse Normandin, Of this
city, has twice examined the young
man at the home of his father, and
says he can find nothing at all wrong
with his vocal cords and believes the
patient could speak if he would.
A Fall River specialist, after exam
lining Paquette, declares he was strick-
en- dumb from some mysterious cause,
which as yet ne has been unable to
fathom Paquette scrawled on a piece
of paper: Il am dumb!" when a
theatrical man demanded what he
meant by rushing from the stage.

coMMENDs COMMISSION PLAN
r. s. childs Advises More compad.
Form Of Govern
ment.

In the current number OF The Out.
look Richard s. Childs urges
a drastic reduction in the number Of
elective officials in cities, counties
and states. as a means Oh obtaiMAe
more direct government by the people.
He points out that the ay-
erage person hardly ever knows
all the candidates on a "blan-
ket" ballot and shows that if
minor offices were filled by appoint
ments small ballot would result
containing few names that the voter
could scan closely.
The commission plan of government
for cities, which places all municipal
affairs in the hands of few men, Mr.
Childs indorses the Importance ano
conspicuousness of the five commits
sionerships attracts SO fierce lime
light at election that no unworthy fig
ure who ventures into that blazing
circle can hope to conceal his unwor-
thine SIS from the eyes of even the mo t
careless voter"
Good government, according to the
writer, Is entirely a matter of getting
the right men elected.
1T is not superior intelligence in the
British electorate" he says, that en-
ables i. uniformly to elect the best
men in town to the city councils, save
In that the individual voter in the
ward selects only a single officer at
election, and can hardly fail to know
just what he Is doing"
