There are bat few .American residents, most of the population being cimpoted of tne lower iss of Mex:- car-i, general.y known a* vGr*asers." There are, however, a number f refine! Menuac famiues in the town. Ab ut ten days ago Francisco Perez wa-. fie** hear iof on the P.lO Grande. He says lea; he was born near Lourango, N. M., and that he was intended for tne priestnood. hav; ig been sent to Rome when he was about 12 yea-i oli to study. For scime ca.se wmch he refused to disc- <se he never took orders, retorting to Mexico about two year* ago. COULDV’T HELP OBETISG HIE. The :ay ne arrived in Mier. he Ft -pped at the hotel. Nothing unusual wa* noticed about him until the dinner hour the day af’er hu arrival, and tnen it wa* not that attracted attention, but the queer antic* of the waiter who served him. \* ith out Pe:ez saying a word, the wa.ter, af er placing bis dinner on the table croawvi the dining hail to a t-ble where a gentleman wa* sitting, and brought to the table of Perez two bottle* of wine with the glasses. This would not have looked strange had not the wine been a special order by the gentleman from Them it was taken. The gentleman demanded to know why the wine was removed. The waiter said Perez tad ordered him to do *O. This, Perez, with great agitation, denied. Tne wine was retumed. In a few moment* the same waiter re moved a roast from in front of the same gentleman and placed it in front of Perez. A general laugh was the result, but the gentleman who had been despoiled became funius, declaring that Perez had insulted him and that the waiter was drunk. He kicked the waiter out of the room, he all the time protesting that he had only obeyed the order of Perez Perez, w.tn a face a* whjte as chalk, said that he had given no order, had done notb i - g to Icsuit any one, and then left the room. A short while afterward tne gentle man who bad become angry in the dining room approached Per‘-z, and said that be was satisfied that that the waiter was drunk or crazy, and apologized for what he had dona GAVE UP HIS WATCH. While speaking he had t*kn out bis watch, a fine one, and, after hesitating a moment, much to the surpriseof the crowd, who hod gathered expecting to see a shoot ing scrape, he loosened the chain from his vest ar.d handed the watch to Perez, insist ing that he accept it as a present. It was ae-HpUyl. Perez next visited a bar about a block from the hotel, being accompanied by two persons who had seen the watch given to him. Perez ordered wine. When he went to pay for It the barkeeper said it had been paid for. Both Perez's companions insisted that it had not been paid for. but the tar k< epe insisted that it had and refused to ac cept a cent. While standing at the bar both gentlemen notice i that the bartender had been watch ing Perez intently. Hurtling from them he took from a tbelf a handsome silver mounted revolver, and, after exhibiting it, handed it to I'erez, begging him to keep it. To be the recipient of a fine watch and a revolver by strangers, all within an hour, was an occurrence so rate that it naturally caused considerable astonishment. GIFTS FLOW 15 ON HIM. But this was nothing to the wonder ex cited when, later In the evening, packages of various siz<w began to arrive at the hotel, all of them addressed to Perez, with the name* of the donors and their compliments. All might still have gone well with Don I’erez had not a magnificent bouquet arrived with a lady’s name attached. There hap pened to be standing near a friend of ihe lady who had sent the flowers. His hot southern blood was fired at once. He called on her, and she said that she was standing near the window with the flowers in her hand, that I’erez passed, looked up at her and asked her to send the flowers, and she had done so, why, she did not know, and she wound up the story by bursting into team. The friend returned to the hotel, and im parted the result of his visit. The Mexi cans, always to a certain extqpt supersti tious, after an excited consultation decided that Perez was either a witch or a devil, and that in either case he must be gotten ri l of at once. Home one suggested that they tie a stone to his neck and pitch him into the river, as water would drown the devil, and the stone would sink a witch. The proposition was instantly accepted, and would have been at once carried out had it not been for the presence of a few cool heads in the crowd. AN EXPLANATION WANTED. They said that Perez would at least have a chance to explain himself. A committee of ton was appointed to interview him. Perez was found sitting in the hotel parlor, quietly reading. When informed of the ob ject of the committee’s call, he became so agitated that ho could not speak, and seemed about to faint. He finally, in a hurried, trembling voice, protested that he had done nothing, and that every article given him had been voluntarily presented, which he proved by two who had called in, and who had made him presents. The committee withdrew, but it was seen that they were far from being satisfied. Perez was privately advised to leave town, but before ho sould do so he was again iu tho hands of the committee, who told hint thet unless he would explain more fully they proposed throwing him into the river. Perez saw that they fully intended to carry out their threat, and ho made this statement: “While in college years ago I and four room mates bogan the study of mesmerism, or hypnotism, or whatever you may call it. Our aim was to so perfect ourselves in the art or science that we could by a glance of the eye or a wave of the hand compel any person within range of vision to do anv act we willed. I soon became so proficient that with a glance of my eye, or a wave of my huud, I could control almost any one. At first the sense of jiowor was delightful, but gradually I found that if I looKed at an article i wished or admired, the owner of it would present it to me. I tried every means on earth to control my power. My classmates, none of whom possessed my power, were as submissive to me as spaniels, i left Home mid came home. This is my story and it is a true one. Ido not need th) presents. I have money, but I have trie! to conceal my awful power by accepting them. Take them back for God’s sake.” Perez has been allowed to go, but the question is, wi at sort of a modern Mephis topheles is he? Mn Rockawav Hi nt— There’s one thing I like shout the Players'club.
