Murde!

Philadelphia, Dec.
nowsky forty-six years old,
of 1920 East Ontario street, was foIifU
stabbed to death in a shed behind his
home, after his wife and children had
been aroused when his daughter, Jo-
sephine, twenty years old, had scream
ed that a man was trying to attack
her.
The man escaped. 1t is believed
that it was he who stabbed the father
to death before he went to the room
of the daughter.
The Bajanowskis had a family party
at their home on Wednesday night,
but all except the father retired at
1890 o'clock. He said he would stay
up and read. At 2.30 o'clock in the
morning the daughter, Josephine, was
awakened by man who was tugging
at the bed covering. She screamed.
The mother an delight other children
were aroused, but before they could
reach the girls room the intruder had
fed. They rushed down stairs and
blood stains met their gaze.
They went through the four down
stairs rooms and the bakery store in
front, and everywhere they saw blood
stains. Then they went to shed in
the rear of the house.
In corner of the shed the sixteen
year-old daughter, Stella, discovered
her fathers body. On a table in the
shed was long butcher knife, bloody
to the handle.
The body was sent to the Episcopal
hospital, where it was reported that
death must have been instantaneous,
as the man was stabbed through the
heart.

TINE famous fasting man, Signor
Sacco, has made a romantic adj
dition to the many records he
has established, for he has just been
married after having completed a
hunger strike" of AZ days at Kingston
on Thames. England What adds
piquancy to the romance of his latest
fast is the fact that his seventeen
year old bride sat beside his glass cabi-
net for long periods during his volun-
tary abstinence from food. But his
latest fasting feat was by no means his
longest. Some six years ago at Olym-
pia he Starved himself for IS days
four hours, and thus beat the record of
As days two hours. which he had set up
at what was then Hengler's circus,
London. II is noteworthy that during
the former fast Sacco smoked 1,400
cigarettes and consumed 450 bottles Of
mineral water: while during the latter
fast he drank IS bottles of table water
and smoked 952 cigarettes.
Sixty Three Days Fast.
In 1880 DR.. Tanner, of New York,
succeeded in totally abstaining from
all food, although carefully watched
the whole time, for 40 days. and gained
almost worldwide notoriety by his
feat.
But this achievement was nothing
compared to that of an old French SOL
der named Jacques, who tasted for so
days at one of the music halls in New
York. A still more wonderful feat of
nSfi foe he NV,
a murderer named Granie, at Toulouse,
in France who determined TO starve
himself to death in order to escape the
guillotine, and from the day of his ar
rest he refused to eat. In spite of every
effort on the part Of his warders-who
first tried tempting him to eat by plac-
ing the most dainty meals in his cell.
and then. when that failed. attempting
to feed him by foUce-he held out for
63 days, at the end Of which time he
died. This is the longest fast an rec.
ord.
In 1865 il was reported that = young
woman named Sarah Jacobs. living At
Lithernenadd. in Wales. had entirely
given up eating for some years back,
and the vicar of the parish went so far
as to state ION his professional honor
that she had not partaken of a single
grain of food of any kind whatever for
sixteen years" As can readily be I'M
derstood. this statement. coming as il
did from the local clergyman. aroused
the greatest excitement all over the
kingdom, and the medical men were
deeply concerned about It. In order TO
test the truth of the statement it was
decided that nurses and doctors from
Guys hospital should go down to Lith-
eruenadd TO examine and keep close
watch on this fasting wonder. and so

who, while suffering from complica-

Two or three years ago experiments
in fasting for scientific purposes were
made, one in Somerset and the other in
Kent. In order TO ascertain whether
the accumulation of waste and unnec-

cause of much disease, and whether
self-imposed starvation was a sound
method of its elimination, and as such
conducive to better health. DR.. f Pen
