LITTLE SPANISH PRINCE
CANNOT SPEAK OR HEAR
Finally Admitted second Son of Al
fonso Incurably Deaf and Dumb.

fonso Incurably Deaf and Dumb.
Madrid-The Infante Don Jamie.
second son of the king and queen of
Spain. now flee years old was born
deaf and dumb.
For a long time no one outside the
palace knew of the princes infirm-
ity and there 1t was scarcely men
toned except in whispers. The late
premier Senior Canalepas announced
two years ago, that the little prince
had a form of tuberculosis which
prevented him from hearing or talk
ing. His lack of hearing was proven
by making a loud noise suddenly near
the boy He did not move. Although
three years of age at that time he
had never uttered a sound, and al
ready there was the fixed look and
strange behavior characteristic of deaf
and dumb. Spanish specialists ad'
| Judged him incurable. One OF them
performed difficult operation with
out beneficial result. The child was
| sent to the 'sanitarium of celebrated
physician in Switzerland, but he re-
turned in the same condition as be-
fore.
Don Jamie at present is under the
care of valencian nuns whose mis-
sion In life Is to educate the deaf anc
dumb. The name of Miss Helen Kel
Ter has been mentioned in the palace
but nothing definite has been ar
ranged about asking her to undertake
the teaching of the boy. One diff
} Guilty is that Miss Keller, who doe
, not know Spanish, would have Il
teach in a foreign language.
