ented recluse who has lived here In
howell that was once a stable, for
many years. Disguised, he said. with
everything pertaining to modern life.
Bauman determined to rear his foster
son in the atmosphere of by,gone
age. The classic tongue of Rome was
the only language taught to the boy
by his eccentric parent. who was well
able to follow his part, he having been
. noted Latin scholar in Europe
When the lad was ten years old he
possessed a knowledge OF Latin that
the school taught youth Of twice his
age could not hope ever to equal. Now.
he speaks the ancient tongue so well
and reads and writes 1t with such
fuency that he may well be said to
have revived dead language.
The elder Bauman's desire to bring
up the boy in an atmosphere Of aloof-
ness from all that lie modern has been
well carried out. The youth has never
ridden on a train, used telephone or
in any way mingled in the life OF the
village, which. narrow as It is, repre-
sents to him the great outside world,
full Of evils and temptations.

HAS NO OPPOSITION
Will Be Chosen President of Mexico
and Will Be Supported by De Ia
5arra and General Reyes.

Mexico City.-There now seems no
doubt that Francisco I. Madero will
be chosen president of Mexico. In
fact 1t does not appear that he has
any serious opposition. His election
is regarded as an assured fact.
In an interview on Saturday, Ma
dero said: IF l should be eelcted
president, Senior De la Barra will be
minister of foreign affairs and Gen
eral Reyes will be minister of war in
my cabinet"
This was after a meeting between
Madero. President De la Barra and
General Reyes.
The meeting was accidental. Ma
dero had been comforting with Presi-
dent De la Barra about the political
situation when General Reyes arrived,
Madero was asked to remain. Frank
discussion of the situation resulted.
In talking of the meeting General
Reyes said: 1T is true that l am
going to be minister of war if Senior
Madero is elected. i am not going to
be candidate for the presidency or
participate in the elections.
Just before you came, sg1g :,
the interviewer. -.s-~ s1,od

- y ask me to be a candidate
Tor the presidency, but told them
intended to be a member of Senior
Madero's cabinet If he is elected.
ITO offer myself as candidate
might mean a confusion which would
produce anarchy, and 1 can assure you
both President De la Barra, Senior Ma
dero and myself will work earnestly
and necessarily to prevent such 9
contingency"
Madero's remark that President Dc
la Barra would return to his recent
post of minister of foreign relations
is looked upon as an indication tina
the new government will contain rep
resentatives of all elements and vii
have stable effect on the future al
ministration.
