CONFESSIONS OF 4 MANICURE.
why Miss wilson vas In COrkrey's Cellar
Not a Burglar at All.

HACKENsACK, Jan. 3O.--Miss Clara Will
son. the pretty young manicure of 2s8
West I5Ist street, Manhattan, who is in
the Hacksensack Jail on a charge OF
breaking and entering. made a partial
confession to-day to Detectives Blauvelt
and Dawson that explains her presence
in the cellar of Corkrey's roadhouse at
Arcola on Friday at midnight. This
young woman was quite accidentally
discovered by several armed men who
were searching the hotel for an alleged
burglar and firebuR who earlier in the
evening had knocked down Mrs. Frederick
Corkrey, the proprietor's wife. in his
effort to escape from the hotel.
Miss Wilson first said that she had re-
turned to get her clothes which she had
left in the hotel when she suddenly left
there two weeks ago. She also said that
she had spent the evening in Paterson
with an elderly Philadelphian.
To-day she confessed that she had
spent the afternoon and evening with
Corkrey and that they had had supper
in whipper's Hotel in Ridgefield Park.
The couple returned by trolley to Arcola,
but approached the hotel on different
roads. Miss Wilson says that the hotel
proprietor suggested that she go 10 the
cellar. The accidental discovery of the
burglar caused an unexpected search
of the house and cellar and the Sensational
discovery OF the pretty manicurist.
Corkrey told his wife and the detectives
that he was in Paterson alone on Friday
night. He appeared on the scene just
after the strange man with a light mus
tache had knocked Corkrey's wife down.
Corkrey il smooth faced. -, D..
When confronted with Miss Wilson, q
confession Corkrey said that he had moth
ing further TO say. The girls confession
was confirmed by the proprietor and bar
tender Of the Ridgsfeld Park Hotel.
IL is believed that Miss Wilson will now
soon be released, for the detectives do
not believe her presence in the cellar had
any connection with the burglar and
firebug.

AN ATRSHIP on THE SQUARE
Fourteen Feet Each way. the Smallest
NJOnODIane Is Built in Jersey.

| NOnOpl&ne Is buItI IN Jersey.
MoNrCLAIR, n. j.. Jan. 3O.-Harry
Bruno Of Is Gates avenue and Bernard
H. Mahon of 6l7 Bloomfield avenue boys
| II years old ha We constructed the smallest
practicable airship Of the monoplane
type in the world they say. and will soon
give their design test here. The boys
have worked in secret on the machine
and il was not until to-day that they
announced the character of the peculiar
features which they expect will make
their invention a complete success and a
distinct step forward in the science Of
aviation.
The monoplane has a length of II feet
and breadth of II feet. Its total weight,
including Il horsepower gasolene
motor. is only $50 pounds. 1t can be un-
packed and the parts reassembled and
ready for flight within a half hour. The
special feature OF the monoplane is the
system of control. By the manipulation
OF a lever the aviator can keep the ma
chine on an even keel during the most
trying winds.
A biplane gets its rising power from
two small movable planes placed in front
OF the main planes. Brunah Midget
No. |, as young Bruno and Mahon have
named their machine, gets the same
effect from a small movable plane sus-
petl0i-u Oh Nne DdCh Ol lnS HlOuOplanc,
which is controlled by lever placed at
the side of the aviator q seat. The rudder
is controlled by the feet.
1t is estimated that the new monoplane
with a II horse power motor is capable
OF maintaining a speed of from fifty to
fifty five miles per hour. The boys con-
structed biplane last summer which was
to have been operated by footpower
like bicycle. but after several tests they
found that they could not develop enough
speed in the propeller by this method to
maintain the fight of the biplane.

ALONZO WIRE 20 YEARS AWAKE
so Used TO 1T THAT HE NO
LONGER GOES TO BED.

Strange story OF the Police CHIEF OF
HackettstOwn Who Is HIS FamIIy's
Alarm Clock and Has Only Lost
Four Pounds q Year without Sleep.
HACKETTsTowN, N. j.. Jan. 30.--Alonzo
Wire Of this place. who was for twelve
years head Of the police department.
says that for the last twenty years he has
not closed his eyes in sleep. He came
near it, he says, several times recently.
when he found himself getting drOwsy
IN front Of a hot fire. but when he would
attempt to take advantage Of il and lie
down To compose himself for the long
sought nap sleep would fit away and
he would pass the night, as he passed so
many others in wide eyed wakefulness.
He does not go to bed now but reclines
ON a couch in the front room Of his home,
where in the darkness he allows his
thoughts to wander and confuse themselves
as they will in the nearest semblanoe to
sleep Of which he is capable. Neither
Wire nor the physicians who have studied
his case are able to assign a cause for
the condition nor can they explain why
it is that he has retained a state Of robust
health for all these years of insomnia.
He has even done hard manual work in
the open air at frequent intervals without
being able to WOO the coy goddess OF sleep.
The only result at all noticeable from
his long continued wakefulness has been
loss Of weight in the past score Of years
amounting to between seventy five and
eighty pounds. He used to weigh nearly
$50 pounds and now he tips the scales at
barely 200.
Wire says that he believes that a stroke
of lightning he rec eived thirty years
ago might have something to do with
his peculiarity, though it happened years
before he first suffered with insomnia.
The bolt made him deaf for a time. He
was driving a team Of horses into a barn
at the approach Of a thunderstorm.
The horses were knocked down and other
men on the job we're stunned
For some years while suffering from
insomnia Wire held job as night watch
man for the Lackawanna Railroad, but he
never slept during the days. Mrs. Wire
bears him out in that statement. He is
the alarm clock for the family. No mat
ter What time one of them wants to get
up in the morning Father Wire is there
TO rouse him. He listens all through the
night to the striking Of the town clock
and he knows each hour when it comes
around.
Wire says he suffers from more or less
restlessness at times. but the strange
malady has not impaired his health or
strength to any degree. recent at
tack Of bronchitis and gallstones has
worn him down far more than the twenty
years Of no sleep. His physician. who
says that Wires age. So, is such now that
he ought to have regular and ample rest,
has been treating him with a view to in
ducing drowsinees. but thus far without
result. He says, however. that when he
has conquered the slight ailments mem
toned he will have his patient in state
of mind where rest is possible.
