, Boston, July 28. A blue pearl
worth $100,000 stolen from the eye of
a statue or Buddha In nlilin, sotmht for
five years all over the world and re covered
in New York a few days asu.
was stolen or lost again here Mon
day. Mr. MacAdams has the idea that
some one, perhaps an East Indian de
votee, a Buddhist priest, perhaps, fol
lowed him first to New York and then
to Boston, awaiting his chance to
steal the pearl, to him priceless be
cause of Its sanctity.
Of course AVilkle Collins told very
much the same story, infinitely better,
in "The Moonstone."
Mr. MacAdams says that as the
temporary possessor of the blue pearl
he was only an agent, a maxsent,vr.
He was acting- for Major Pirie of the
Seventeenth Lancers 01 His Majesty's
army. Major Pirie, in turn, Is acting
for a Arm of English solicitors, who
represent the Kajah liana. In the
possessions of this Indian potentate
stands the temple whose statue or
Budda, despite ceRseless watch and
fuard. was depolled of the blue pearl
and other sacred gems that adorned it.
After ceaseless search for years,
says Mr. .VucAdttrrs, the blue pearl
was located in New Vork In the hands
of a certain pawnbroker. At Major
Pirie's urging MacAdams hurried from
iiondon to New York. There he paid
$38,000 to the pawnbroker, who there
upon handed over to him the blue
pearl and ten pawn tickets for other
gems that onve adornrtl the Inscrutable
Buddha. MacAdams says the New
Tork pawnbroker never saw th.se
othT gems, but bought the tickets
from the person who pawned the blue
pearl.
Mr. Macadams says he engaged
passage on the Zeeland, due to sail
from here tomorrow. In New York
he was full of the idea that some one
with designs on the pearl was follow
ing: him. So he bought a small pig
skin case, designed to be worn on the
wrist, like the watch of a golfer or an
automobllist. In the case he put the
blue pearl and the ten pawntickets
and wore the case strapped to b'
right wrist day and night.
Taking train in NVw York. Mr Mac
Adams arri'-ed In the South Station
here at 3 p. m. today. He wished to
get some small change from his trous
ers pocket and found difficulty :::
thrusting his hand in his pocket; the
pigskin case was in the way. He un
strapped the case and later, he
thought, after getting the chance from
his pocket he strapped the case to
his wrist again. Hut lie is not certain
of this, lie too!; a taxicnb from the
station to the Hotel Touraine. con
gratulating himself that the blue pearl
had progressed safely so far ba K to
tiuddha's orbit.
Mr. MacAdams arrived at the' hotel.
The blue pearl, re-covered with in
finite pains and at enormous e,"iise,
was gone; the pawn tickets wer. goi'e;
the pigskin case was gone. Never was
a cleverer trick done by East Indian
Juggler or by a New Tork crook.
Mr. MacAdams mild tonight that he
has put the matter In the hands of
the Plnkerton detectives here. They
will continue the search for the $100.-
000 pearls. He did not report his loss
to the lioston police'.
So, It will be seen, the strange story
which Mr. MacAdams tells does not
end like "The Moonstone," (he hliie
pearl will not shed its soft lustre1 as
Uuddah's eye for some time, at
least.
A PrevkiUM Blue Pearl Story and
llowery Pawnbroker.
A blue pearl figured in New York
last Bummer. It was a perfect oval,
weighed II t4 grains, was worth $140,
000. It, too, had been stolen from the
eye of an idol In a monastery In La

This pearl was sought by His High

tit Kapurthalu. The sacred gem had
been traced all over the world an. I
finally into the hands of the late Leo
pold, King of the Belgians. That gal
lant king, the atory ran, gave the pearl
to Cleu fin Al erode, who, needing mon
ey, as always, pawned it.
The pearl was traced to New York
finally. Capt. . 11. White, a retired
Hrltish army oflirer, representative oi
the Kajah of Itajahs, came to this
1 lty seeking to recover the pearl and

A new pawnbroker tin the Bowery I
was a tigure In inis story too. He was
quoted as saying that he bought the
pawn ticket for the pearl and sold the
... The makers of Eckman's Alterative

their own language the true story of
those whom Eckman's Alterative has
cored.
Ma'iy medical booklets sign their
testimonials with Initials, or give the

is honest and sincere. It gives the
full name, address (street, city and

to write or call on these people and
hear their story direct.
Such stralght-from-the-heart evi

affidavit of a father whose only

While) in the act of hatching bis
mule to a limb of a, tree during an
electric etorm in this county Tuesday
evening, Sam Jones, a farmer, and his
mule were struck by lightning result
ing in instant death to both. The af
fair happened about three miles from
town, near Flat Rock . Jones was a
well known farmer, S3 years old. and
unmarried.
Prior to the storm Jones was plow
ing corn, and -as he did not reach
home directly after the rain it was
feared that ill fate had overtaken
him, whereupon a search was made.
Jones' body was found outstretched
beside that of the mule which he hud
been plowing, beneath an apple tree
nearby where he had been working.
Presumably he had taken I lie tree as
a refuge from the storm. The tree,
beneath which he was found showed
no signs of having been struck by
lightning, but Indications were seen
on another tree a short distance away.
It is said that tha case f the Watch
found on his person had been melted
by the stroke that caused his death.
Cabbage Crop Good.

many years. Cabbage are not only
quite plentiful but are exceptionally
free from worms this Season. The

that the far touthern markets will
make a demand for the produce at a
good price before many days.
