BOSTON. April % 22--Diamonds and jew
elry, in all valued at siU9o, were stolen
from room in the Adams House, Boston,
at an early hour Thursday evening
While Mrs. T. C. Dow Of Philadelphia
was at supper in the dining room on the
office floor thieves entered her room on the
second floor, by means Of false keys. The
jewelry was ia drawer OF chiffonniere
and In her trunk. She discovered her loss
Immediately upon returning TO her room,
finding that the chiffonniere had been ran
sacked.
On investigation Il was found that the
following articles were missing: One dia-
mond ring, valued at 800; one two-stone
diamond ring, valued at $50; one sapphire
ring, studded with diamonds, valued at
si25; one hunting case gold watch, valued
at $50; one pair diamond ear rings, valued
at s+25: one lorgnette, ,s25; one pair of opera
glasses. s2j; and purse containing $50 In
money. The thief or thieves overlooked a
large amount OF valuabes contained in
the lower part of the trunk.
Mrs. Dow states that she probably left
her trunk unlocked, but was certain that
she locked the door to her room. The
work was no doubt that Of professional
false-key thieves, as similar jobs of a
lesser nature have recently been perpetra-
trated in Back Bay apartment houses.
No one in the hotel saw or heard thieves
The police were notified Of the robbery
and detectives put to work ON the case.
1t is thought that the stolen property can
be discovered by means Of letter ID Z"
engraved on the back Of the watch case.

WASHINGTON. April -. The secretary
OF war, In response TO senate resolution
asking for estimates as to the cost Of deep
ening Boston har5or, transmitted to that
body the reports Of Chief Engineer Casey
and Lieutenant Colonel Mansfield submit.
ting estimates of 81 500, 600 for the work.
Lieutenant Colonel Mansfield says the in
adequate depth Of water in the channel
causes nearly all deep-draft vessels to
anchor outside Boston light and await the
tide, so that delays Of from three to nine
hours in the delivery OF mails and passen-
gers are not infrequent. To remove the
obstruction to navigation he recommends
that the main ship channel be de.pened by
dredging to thirty feet at mean low water.
with uniform width Of 1000 feet, except
at the "Narrows," where it is to be 62J
feet. He estimates that 4,43S, 900 cubic
yards of dredging will be required.

HOUSES MIXED UP.

HOW Mr.. sexton, the Painter, Got Two
Jobs Instead OF One.
The best joke OF the season is now
going the rounds, and the only question
to decide is at whose expense 1t is.
Patrick Curley and Patrick Duffy own
houses side by side on Hilton street. A
few days ago Mr.. Curley contracted with
Bartholomew Sexton to paint his house.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Sexton brought
all his paraphernalia to the scene OF action
and, In some manner, got twisted" on
the houses.
He distributed his paint pots around in
Mr.. Duffey's cellar, run up ladders, re-
moved the blinds and had started to paint
one end of the house when Mr.. Duffy ar
rived and asked Mr.. Sexton what he was
about
"Isn't this Mr.. Curley's house?' asked
the knight Of the brush.
"This is my house; Mr.. Curley's is the
next one"
Explanations followed and the result
was that Mr.. Sexton made contract ia
finish the job he had begun. People now
ask II Mr.. Sexton did not get the best OF
II after all, getting two jobs. INSTEAD oi
one.
