Solution of the Paulino Monas
tery Puzzle.

Warsaw, Russian Poland.—The mys
tery suiTo;:nding the theft from tte
Pauline Monastery at Crenstochcwa
ot jewels and votive offerings valued
at 14,000,000, which since 1309 Ue.3
puzEled the brothers, seems at length
to be solved by the receipt of a letter
from Chicago.
The writer ot thi3 communication
to the monastery confesses that he,
Stanislaus Zalog, was the thief; that
he was then a lay brother, and that
Father Damatius, who Is now serving
a sentence In the Siberian mines tor
the murder of his cousin, was not im
plicated, as has always been sup
posed.
The letter seems genuine and the
Russian police are taking steps to
have Zalog arrested, but the former
brother defies the police to trace hiai.
It appears that Zalog remained at the
monastery more than a year after the
theft and not until Damatius was ar
rested did he escape to America
The robbery of the jewels which
decked the ikon of the and
Child In the Pauline Monastery cre
ated a great stir three years ago, and
when, in October, 1910, Father Dama
tius was arrested In Austria for the
murder of his cousin, Vaclav Macocn
—which crime he confessed —it wan
believed that the motive for the dead
was to b« found in a desire to shut
the mouth of a man who could testify
against him la the matter of the rob
bery.
Damatlua admitted the murder, but
denied the theft of the jewel*. He ad
mitted also that he had taken money
from the treasury and bad squandered
it upon Helena Ostrowska, wife of the
man he murdered. He told how his
servant, Stanislaus, evidently the man
now confessing the thefts, had assists
ed him in disposing of the body in a
large ottoman, which together they
thrdw into the River Varta. Stanislaus
Zalog disappeared and has never been
heard of until now.
The most valuable thing stolen was
the jeweled crown from the head of
(be Virgin.
PAIR ARE BOTH MAIDENS
"He" Worked for Six Montha aa a
Plumber's Helper Without Arous
ing Suspicion.
London.—The extraordinary case of
a girl of twenty-three named Adelaide
Dallamore, who passed for six months
as the buaband of another girl, la
causing much interest here.
The two women were domestic ser
vants and were so much attached to
one another that they determined not
to be parted. So Dallamore dressed
as a man and got a job as a plumber's
assistant, which position she held for
six months without any one of 40 men
suspecting she was not what she pre
tended to be, but supposed her to be
a particularly well behaved young
a married man.
She is a stoutly built, fresh com
plexioned, bright girl with an unusual
ly low voice and she carried out the
deception so well that she might nev
er have been found out had not rela
tives Informed tho police. In the even
ing she would put on ,a god suit of
clothes and take her "wife" out.
When questioned by the police she
told them that £he and her friend
were very happy
"I was much healthier," she Baid,
"working ten hours a day as a plum
' ber's assistant than ever I was in ser
vice."
Her ' wife" corroborated this and
said she preferred Adelaide in men's
clothes to skirts and they both swore
they would never be parted anyway

RECOBDJOR IRK
Freighthouse Razed by Fire Re- !
placed Over Sunday.
Town Joins In an Effort to Repair
Damage Done to Depot In Order to ,
Prevent interference With
Business.
Council Bluffs, la.—Some strenuous
construction work was done hero
when a freighthouse, dostroyed by
fire, was rebuilt almost over night.
At 6:46 o'clock on a Saturday eve
ning the freighthouse of the Chicago
and Northwestern railway was de
stroyed by fire The building, 36 by
310 feet, included the office, which
was two stories high.
The problem presented was how to
provide freighthouse facilities for the
opening of business on Monday morn
ing. It was decided to solve the prob
lem by putting up a new building.
The telegraph and telephone were
pressed Into instant service. Neces
sary workmen and materials were or
dered from a doxen points. Arrange
ments were made with a local lumber
yard to deliver material on Sunday
morning at seven o'clock. At the
saine time everybody was busy get
ting near-by material concentrated
and mustering the different forces.
Men were picked up aa far east as
Uedar Rapids and as far west aa Fre
mont. Neb. On Sunday morning at
six o'clock a special train had arrived
at Council Bluffs from Boone with
men and material, and other forces
had arrived on different passenger
trains, so that about eighty mechanics
and artisans were on hand at aeven
o'clock. Twenty men arrived from
the west at eleven o'clock. Then the
work was under way In earnest.
It waa found that the transfer plat
forma and the platform In front ol
the old building bad not been de
stroyed by the Are, so It watf decided
to erect a temporary building directly
upon the floor of the larger transfer
platform. The rrame was up and
partly sheathed at 11:30 a. m. At lire
o'clock In tho afternoon the building
waa entirely Inclosed and the root
was nearlng completion. /
By Monday morning the building
was entirely finished, 26 feet wide and
120 feet long. The work was contin
ued till the building was 175 feet long
over all. Platforms were built, but
the building built on Sunday waa en
tirely finished and ready for business
by Monday morntn*.
SPARROW AS PEST KILLER
English Bird May Be Uaed Against
the Alfalfa Weevil In the
West.
Washington, D. C.—The English
tparrow, originally Imported into this
country to destroy insect pesta, but
known chiefly In recent years as a
pest among birds, may come Into Its
)wn again, according to the officials
of the government biological survey
It has been found that the sparrow Is
a vigorous enemy of the alfalfa weevil,
an evil which threatens to spread
throughout the alfalfa farmlpg terrl
tory of the went as the cotton boll
weevil has spread In the iouth. 8c
far tho weevil ha 3 appeared only In
Utah and part of Wyoming, but a doz
en other states, it Is said, will be af
fected within a few years unless a real
enemy of the pest Is introduced to
fight It.
The biological survey is planning to
experiment with other birds this sum
mer and will not recommend that the
English sparrow be 3ent Into the al
falfa territory unless no other effec
tive enemy of the weevil can be
found # The bureau of entomology has
received from its agent in Italy a num
ber of parasites which feea* on the
alfalfa weevil and these will be sent
to Utah at onco.

Man's Eyes Open Since Stricken
With Sorrow.
Spends His Nights at Work and Com.,
plains of No % Weariness —Fur>>
nishes Puzzle Physicians
Cannot 3olve.
Trenton, N. J. —Having been with
out sleep for thirty yeara, Albert E.
Herpin, a Trenton man, at last com
plains of feeling weary. Mentally he
experiences no weariness, but he says
he is physically weak and believes a
nap of only five minutes' duration
would give him new life. Physicians
who have been following the sleepless
wonder's case for years say he Is
merely suffering from overwork, and
lo not agree with the theory that so
many years of wakefulness has caused
bis physical health to fall.
Bine« the power of sleep left him
Herpin has never kefore expressed a
desire to even doze. He has shown
no lassitude day or night. The only
rest he gets Is when h« sits In a com
fortable chair for several hours each
night, bui he does not even then close
his eyes.
His sleeplessness has brought him
:onsiderable money, as he thought
>ut Inventions during some of his
resting periods that proved successful.
He works every day. excepting Sun
lay, in a local pottery, and he spends
most of the night working out Inven
tions or decorating pottery for friends.
Herpin la always In good spirits
and when he reports to his employers
in the morning he seems as fresh as
iny of the other workmen who hsd
lours of sound sleep. Those who
work with the sleepless man assert
that he keeps constantly busy and ex
hibits not the slightest symptoms of
lrowsiness. The only complaint that
Herpin has made because of his oon
lltlon Is thst he becomes lonely fre
quently at night when he has nothing
to keep hlra busy.
Herpin lost his ability to sleep aft
»r the death of hla wife, 30 years ago.
He was then 30 years old. He con
sulted physicians, who studied his
itrange condition, but who were un
ible to help him. Prom time to time
he has been secretVy watched at night.
The medical men who undertook this
task are convinced the man has not
ilept a moment since first attacked by
the strange malady from which ha is
t>elteved to be suffering.
Experts from all parts of the United
States have visited Herpln's home aad
itudied his condition snd have gone
iway convinced thst he has been
iwake longer than any man in the
world. Herpin enjoys the visits of
.hese experts, ss many of them remsln
with him for nights. He says he never
Mlteves he will sleep again.
