brings some added marvel Yesterday
afternoon a huge audience, which almost
filed the Albert Hall. rose and shouted in
sheer amaze at the latest wonder-child,
little nine-year-old Pepito Arriola
This young Spanish pianist is so tiny
that special piano has been built for his
baby fingers. and the keys of the instru-
ment are considerably narrower than
those Of a full-sized piano.
He is. in sober truth q prodigy Of prodi-
gies His tiny fingers ripple over the
keys with incredible precision. and in the
more romantic passages he plays with the
mind Of mature artist Pepito Arriola
is certainly one Of the divinely gifted
children
In appearance he is a typical dark
skinned. black-haired little Spaniard. His
dminutive stature, even for his sturdy
nine years. is very noticeable. but so IS
his restless activity. Away from thu
piano he IS never still, and yesterday en-
ployed his time during the interval in
chasing his manager, Daniel Mayer, up
and down the corridors. He knows no
English, but speaks fluent German, and Is
ready to air his opinions upon any sub
ject. Besides being a pianist, PepitO IS
also a composer; he has written q march
which HAS been accepted by the King OF
Spain.
His fmprovisatons. we are assured. are
marvellous And with Il all there is the
picture Of the mischievous youngster
playing hide-and-seek with his manager
and jumping out in boyish glee from IN
expected corners

adventure. about which all Berlin is spec

young woman, who said she was an opera
singer named Won Sassen. and Frida' s
aunt She told the rector OF the school
that she had not seen her niece for nine
years, and wished 10 have a talk with
her Frida was permitted to leave the
school for three hours.
Together, Frida and Fraulein Won Sas-
sen drove for a while through the streets,
then went to u dentists. where she was
drugged. and two OF her front teeth ex-
tracted. Won Sassen ami the dentist
wished to extract three more, but the
child, who had come TO her senses, grew
alarmed, and resisted. Won Sassen and
Frida then walked out. Frida was shown
beautiful articles of female apparel in the
shop windows and was told that after a
while she would wear such clothes and
ride in a carriage. Won Sassen promised
10 train her as an opera singer, and
praised the childs voice
Frida at this point TOOK fright and rush
ed 10 a passing tram car. and boarded IL,
and made the best OF her way home.
The police are investigating the story,
but the child's statements are so con-
fused and her nerves so shaken that IL is
impossible 10 get a really coherent narra-
tive from her. They believe It is some
new development OF perYersity. regarding
which IL might be well to have medical
opinion.
Won Sassen is evidently a false name,
as no opera singer with this name exists.
The soidisant Won Sassen Is a girl Of
about nineteen, quietly dressed, with a
winning manner.

Rome, Nov 1O-Unable to stand the

This was the opinion expressed to-day
by Dr. Lapponi. in the first official an
nouncement made in regard to the Pom

His holiness condition is only rela-
lively satisfactory said Dr. Lapponi
He is not only harassed by gout, but he
is also suffering through living IN the
confined atmosphere Of the Vatican, and
the fact is his liberty is limited
through the necessity Of remaining within
the Vatican precincts.
This has produced nostalgia, which is
wasting his health more than anything
else
MY belief is that the Pope will die Ike

By all precedent, since 1870 the Pope is
required never to venture outside the Vat

ROMANCE WORKS OUT
Teacher Awarded Fortune
Bequeathed by Admirer.
VICTORY PROVES WORTHLESS
Two Hundred Thousand Dollars,
which Mile. TufTet Wins, Has Dis
apBeaFed-The Hoard Is Secreted in
Out-Of-way Places by Miser and Is
Carried on by Thieves.

Paris. Nov 10.-After fifteen long years
Of litigation, Nile. Tunet a humble
school teacher. who was left 10000 by
her wealthy hance. has won her case in
the law courts, and when she went TO
claim her inheritance, which had been
hidden in an old chateau, she discovered
that the treasure had been stolen.
Such is the latest chapter OF a romance
in which cupidity and intrigue are
strangely interviewer
The story opens thirty years ago, at a
time when Nine. Chartre, a sour, misery
old woman, lived in lonely chateau in
central France. her sole object in life be
ing the boarding OF money. which she
concealed IN secret eupboards and mys-
terieus hiding places.
Finally. for greater security, she mined
beneath the chateau and in caFerns. TO
which access was gained by trapdoOrs,
and hid away her gold in jars.
Nine. Chartre had one son, Claude, who,
when about ., fell in love with a pre-
possessing young lady, Nile Tufet,
school teacher.
The affection was reciprocated. Nine.
Chartre at first looked favorably on the
proposed match, but later withdrew her
consenS. as Mile. Tuffet had no fortune.
The young couple consoled themselves
with the reflection that the maniac OF
Laval" as neighbors called Nine. Char
tre, was an OctogenaTian and could not
live long. but Claude died first. leaving
a will bequeathing everything TO his
fiancee.
When Nine. Chartre discovered this
document she took counsel with the par
ish priest. and, It is alleged, burned II:
but Sister Juneval, who attended Claude
on his deathbed, informed Mile. Tuffet.
Nine. Chartre, when appealed 70. denied
burning the viii. and the clergy Of the
district. who hoped TO benefit by Nine
Chartre's death, are reported to have
supported her during the fifteen years
legal struggle for possession OF the dead
mans fortune.
Finally Nine. Chartre died, and yester-
day the Lyons Appeal Court decided that
Nile. Tuffet was entitled 70 the 500, ,0oG

MAN ASLEEP 3 YEARS
Result Of a Fall While Get
ting Off a Tram Car.
IS A PUZZLE TO SCIENTISTS
Subject, Who Is a Resident of a
suburb of Berlin, Looks Like n
Wax Figure, bat Eats His Meals
ReEuIarIy-MedicaI Experts Are
Now Watching the Case.

Berlin, Nov. 10.-German specialists in
nervous diseases are puzzled by the case
of man who has been asleep for two
years and four months.
The man is a former civil service off,
cIal named Arnheim. aged forty-five,
living in WIlmersdorf, a western suburb
OF Berlin.
During two years and four months
Armhein has never once opened HIS eyes,
never uttered a syllable. and never shown
the least signs Of consciousness.
Before falling asleep ArnheIm was n
healthy, vigorous man without any alb
normal characteristics. 1t is stated. how
ever, that he belongs TO a family whose
members have shown a decided tendency
TO nervous diseases.
Arnheim was descending from tram
car on June 10, 1904, when he slipped and
fell backward. striking his head on the
curbstone. The doctors were unable TO
discover any injury to the brain. but
from that moment Arnheim showed an
unconquerable desire to sleep.
Since June, 1904.
After slumbering, with Interruptions, for
ten days. he fell asleep on June %, 1904
and has not been awake since
Arnheim is lying on his back. in his
bed IN a modest fiat at Wilmersdorf, his
head turned slightly toward the right.
and his forehead wrinkled as though the
sleeper is troubled by bad dreams.
He IS not merely asleep, but in such a
condition that his body remains indif-
ferent 20 all outside influences. All sorts
of attempts have been repeatedly made
TO arouse him. Prof. Gutenberg. the euli-
n5nt specialist, thus describes his expert
ments;
The limbs can be freely moved. The
skin has lost its sensitiveness; deep needle
prieks have not produced the slightest
effect, and other incisions IN the flesh,
painful for normal beings, have not sue
ceeded In awakening the sleeper.
''Deafening noises made close to the
ears have failed to arouse him, and daz-
zling light turned on the eyes has like
wise been Intellectual
The sleeper IS regularly fed: he chews
the food placed in his mouth slowly, and
swallows instinctively"
Like "A Wax Figure.
When Prof. Gutenberg last visited Arm
helm the patients wife removed him
from the bed, clothed him and placed him
in an arm chair near the open window.
Thus I found him. said Prof. EuIen-
berg. '-and must say he had q surpris
ing appearance. The ghastly pale man.
sitting there with closed eyes. had some
thing uncanny about him. The sleeper
reminded me irresistibly OF those wax
figures placed in natural positions in wax
work shows TO deceive visitors into the
belief that they are real human beings"
Prof. Gutenberg considers that a sud
den awakening IS possible.
Many medical experts have visited Arm
helm end watched the sleeper for lengthy
periods without coming to any definite
conclusion as to the cause Of his long
sleep.
