EXPLODING THE MYTHS OF GAPTAIN KIDD

Actual Facts in the Legendary Career of the Scotchman Who Was ccusea of Piracy and for Whose Fabulous Buried Treasure Adventurers Are Still Seeking. The buried treasure of Capt. Kleid is one of the greatest myths of modern times. Kidd's gold has been sought for 200 years. The waters of bays, rivers and lagcon3 have been swept for the hulk of his sunken ship. Quest of the treasure of Capt. Kidd must always be in vain, for Kidd buried no treasure, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Neither of the two vessels in which he cruised during his years of free roving was iunk, so there can be no sunken hulk of Capt. Kidd's laden with gold or otherwise. The Adventure Galley, in which he began his cruises, was condemned as nnseaworthy and burned at MadagasTHE car. Hl3 other ship, the Quedah Merchant, was burned at Hispaniola (San Domingo) afte:- Kidd's arrest in Boston. The sloop San Antonio, in which Kidd came north, was seized In Boston. Fanciful stories have been told of Kidd's visit to Gardiner's Island and hi3 burial of treasure there. The only authentic account of his visit there Is in the testimony of John Gardiner, fiven under oath at Boston about three weeks after Kidd's visit. It makes no mention of the treasure having been buried. An official abstract of Mr. Gardiner's testimony was as follows: About 20 day3 ago Mr. Emott, of New York, came to his (Gardiner's) house and desired a boat to go to New York; furnished him one; that evening he (Gardiner) saw a sloop (the San Antonio, with six guns riding off (Gardiner's ) island; two days afterward In the evening Gardiner went on board the sloop to Inquire what 6he was. When he came on board Capt. Kidd till then unknown to him, asked him how himself and family did; said he was going to Lord Bellomont at Boston, and desired him to carry two negro boys and one negro girl ashore and keep them until he returned or his order called for them; about ten WOMAN HELD AT SNAKE'S MERCY From one danger into another war; Mrs. Lydia Smith's predicament, when, in trying to escape a snake, she caught her hai'' in a wire fence and badly lacerated her scalp before she could be extricated. Mrs. Smith, who lives in Clayton. Del., while on an outing at Rehobeth, went to a small henhouse In the back yard to catch a chicken for dinner. As sho entered the wire Inclosed yard she found a large hlacksnake lying at her feet. The frightened woman Jumped back, catching her hair in the wire netting overhead, while the frightened snake glided out the other way. Mr3. Smith's head was badly torn, some cf the hair being pulled out by the roots.

hours after he had taken the negroes, Kidd sent his boat ashore with two bales of goods and a negro boy. Next morning Kidd desired Gardiner to come on board immediately and bring six sheep with him for his voyage to Boston, which he did; then Kidd desired him to spare a barrel of cider, which he consented to do. Gardiner sent two of his men for it, and while they were gone. Kidd offered Gardiner several pieces of damaged muslin and gengal as a present to his wife, which Kidd put In a bag and handed to him; about a quarter of an hour after, Kidd gave Gardiner two or three pieces of damaged muslin for his own use. An outline of the events that led to Kidd's being charged with piracy is necessary to an understanding of the situation In which he now found himself. For some year? Kidd had been a shipmaster sailing out of New York, and for a time had commanded a privateer, cruising against the French in the "West Indies. He was prosperous, and tradition places in his house In Liberty street the first Turkey carpet seen in New York. In 1695 fate ordained a change in t!i life of Capt. Kidd. In that year he was In London, commanding the brigantine Antigoa, of New York, when the King appointed Richard Coote, Earl of Bellomont, Governor of New

The Director of the Census Is Edwin Dana Durand, a Michigan man, Lorn in 1871. For two years he was legislative librarian of the New York State Library. For another year he wa3 assistant professor of administration and finance at Stanford University. From 1900 until 1902 he was secretary of the industrial commission, and for a short time before going to the census bureau as special expert he was instructor of economics at Harvard. The history of census taking In this country may be divided into tTiree periods, determined by fundamental acts of Congress. The first of thevr? extends from 1790 until 1830. During this period the Department of State had charge of the work, while United States marshals and their assistants supervised and collected the data. In the second period, extending from 1850 until the law of 1902 was passed, the Department of the Interior had charge of the work. The laws of 1902 and 1903 providing for the permanent organization and changing the bureau from the Interior Department to that of Commerce and Labor mark the beginning of the present epoch. As early as 1810 an attempt to include in the census information pertaining to manufactures of this country was made, though It met with littlo success. The act of 1S30 increased the objects of inquiry to Include mines, manufactures and agriculture, and with eac!i succeeding decade the scope of inquiry has been enlarged until the mass of information has become too heavy to handle with ease, and much of it is out of date before it is put Into available shape. The eleventh census wa3 not published imtil seven years after it was begun. The census of 18S0 appeared In 18SS. For each enormous sums of money are spent, thousands of clerks are employed, tons of literature distributed. The four principal reports of the census of 1900, those on population, agriculture, manufacturing and vital statistics, filled ten quarto volume. 10,000 pages of printed matter, and with the special reports sustained the claim that in the matter of census taking the United States leads in scop? of inquiry, combinations of facts and costs Incurred.

England and New York. Bellomont was ambitious, and sawjn the suppression cf piracy, at which the Colonial Governors had been winking, a field for personal advancement and gain. Before leaving England he asked that an English frigate be sent to suppress the pirates, and not getting it he decided to fit out a privately owned ship. He cast about for a captain, and Robert Livingston, founder of the New York family of that name, who was then in London, recommended Capt. Kidd as the proper man. Kidd was disinclined to take the position, but Bellomont Intimated that Kidd's own vessel would be detained In the Thames if he did not, and he yielded. For two years little was heard from the Adventure Galley, either In New York or London, but that little va3 bad. Ships brought stories that Kidd had turned pirate. One report was that he had taken a great ship, the Quedah Merchant, and had left his own ship to cruise as a pirate In her. This was hard news for Capt. Kidd's wife, faithful and anxious In their New York home, waiting, with their two children, for his return. It disturbed Kidd's noble partners also though for a different reason. Kidd was compromising them. He was not careful enough. He must be dropped. So they sent warships to hunt him A girl always seems more attractive after her engagement is announced.

as a pirate. While his backers were anxiously waiting to hear of his capture Kidd appeared unexpectedly in the West Indies, where he touched at Anguilla April 1, 1699, heard that he was wanted as a pirate and now decided to find Bellomont and set himself straight if he could. Capt. Kidd wa3 prepared to swear to Bellomont that be was innocent of piracy; that he had taken only ships which sailed under French papers, and that whatever acts of a piratical nature he had committed were by his crew, who had mutinied, and locked him in his cabin until the' piracies wer accomplished. Kidd approached the land first in Delaware Bay, near Lewes, and sent ashore for supplies. He did not go ashore here, nor did he land any goods. A chest owned by James Gillam. a pirate, who was a passenger on Kidd's vessel from Madagascar, was landed here by its owner and placed in safe hands. Several people who sold Kidd supplies were on his vessel. They were later arrested and swore Kidd landed no goods. Kidd's movements from this point on can be traced. He was anxious to communicate with his wife and friends in New York, and to that end he steered for Long Island Sound, entering it at the east end and proceeding as far as Oyster Bay. Here he went ashore and sent a messenger to New York with a letter to James Emott, a lawyer, and a message to his wife. Emott, whose practice embraced the defense of pirates, hurried to Oyster Bay and went on board Kidd's sloop, which sailed at once for Rhode Island. Here Emott was landded in Narragansett Bay, probably near Point Judith, to proceed to Boston, Lord Bellomont being there. Capt. Kidd's advocate arrived in Boston on June 13, 1699, and went at once to Bellomont's lodgings. Bellomont promised Kidd security "if he would prove himself a3 innocent a3 Emott said he was." About June 23 Kidd headed for Boston, after taking on a pilot from Rhode Island one Benjamin Bevins. This pilot naturally had charge of the sloop, and no treasure could have been landed without his knowledge. He was later a witness for the government. The San Antonio put in at Tarpaulin Cove, a convenient harbor on Vineyard Sound, and there Kidd landed "a bale and two barrels of goods," which were "left with the man there." to be called for on his return. The bale and barrels were duly recovered, like all the rest of Kidd's property. The value of the goods and treasure recovered from Kidd tallies fairly clearly with his probable share of the total booty of his voyage, less the goods left on the Quedah Merchant, which were sold by Bolton at St. Thomas. The exact nature of the treasure Kidd turned over to Mr. Gardiner is known from an inventory made by five commissioners sent by Massachusetts to collect Kidd's property. The original of this Inventory still exists. The treasure left at Gardiner's Island was listed in it as follows: Ounces. No. 1 One bag gold dust 60 No. 2 One bap coined gold 11 And in it silver 124 No. 3 One bag dust gold 24 No. 4 One bag. three silver rings and sundry precious stones .... 4 TS One bag unpolished stones 4T One pure crystal and brazer stones, two Cornelson rings, two small agates, two amethysts, all In the same bag.

TUKKEY GETS REVENGE FOR TEASING 7 YEARS AGO. Does a turkey gobbler possess the same remarkable mental faculties as does the elephant? A turkey on the farm of Amos Hollister, near Benton. Wash., wa3 teased Into anger over seven years ago by a little girl witl yellow curls. The other day the same little girl, now grown into womanhood, wearing the dresses of the day's t vie, appeared upon the lawn of the same farm and was attacked by a gobbler enraged beyond all turkey sense, and continued the fight until he was subdued and placed In a pen. Over seven years ago Miss Elsie Gunther visited the farm of her uncle and teased the gobbler with ; cane which had ribbons tied to it. The turkey chased her around the barnyard. The incident was forgotten and school work and business kept the niece from again visiting her uncle until seven years had passed. ilLu Gunther, free from school duties and languishing for the free air of the country, went to the Benton farm last week. The first thing she did was to trip acrosr the barnyard toward the cow pens us she hj.d done years ago. Before she was across the lawn a big turkey gobbler, the same one which attacked her seven years ago, flew at her face and sturck her a blow that almost threw her into a heap. The turkey continued his attack until IIollister captured and imprisoned him. Most Mexican cheese comes from Pennsylvania the native variety is dry and of an Insipid flavor.

It i3 a happy coincidence that the year which witnessed the entrance of the White Star-Dominion Line Laurentic should also be the centenary year of the introduction of steam navigation on the St. Lawrence. The idea of applying steam power to th boats which a hundred years ago carried on the limited transportation between Montreal and Quebec originated with the late Hon. John Molsor, whose name is perpetuated to-day in one of the banking institutions of Canada, which bears the family name. The "Accommodation" was the name of the Molson steamboat, and she was built on the bank of the St. Lawrence at Montreal in the summer of 1803, and the event was fraught with great importance to the trade of the country, greater by far probably, than the prime mover in its accomplishment even dared to Imagine. The steamboat "Accommodation," which ushered in such an epoch marking period in the history of Canada, was 75 feet long on the keel and Si feet on deck. She had berths f& twenty passengers which it was promised would be considerably augmented the following year. She received he.r impulse from an open doublespoked, perpendicular wheel on each side without any circular band or rim. In the Old Days. In the old dvg hardships innumerable presented themselves in the land, journey, whilst dangers by day and by night stared the hardy voyageurs in the face when they made their journey between Quebec and Montreal. The heavy and swift flowing currents of the river made the upward journey very difficult, and many laborious detours had to be made to accomplish the Journey. To go on with the historical sidy of the narrative, it may be stated, the Montreal Star says, that with all Its Inconvlences, the mode of travel introduced by Hon. John Molson was a success, for the following j-ear we find him applying to the legislature of the Province of Quebec "for the exclusive right and privilege of constructing , and navigating a steamboat or steamboats within the limits of the province for a space of fifteen years." In 1S12 he built another and larger steamer of 130 feet keel and 24 feet beam. The name of which vessel was "Swiftsure." Following the "Swiftsure." Mr. Molson proceeded to carry out hl3 idea of operating a fleet of river steamers, and the construction of each one led to Improvements in matter of size and accommodation.

lVI CATION had been so greatly improved thai the steamboats came into more general favor. A few years afterwards attentloa was devoted to the building of powerful tug boats so that sailing vessel could be towed up the river against the current. At one time oxen wer yoked up and driven to the river side, waiting to assist. In addition to th oxen there was one horse as leader. This system prevailed up to the year 1S32. At that period wharves did not exist; the boats drew up t5 the shore as close as possible and made fast to piles temporarily driven in the bank of the river. The first records of accidents ta steamboats In the St. Lawrence are those of the "Waterloo" and "Joha Bull." The former foundered in Lak St. Peter and. was replaced by th "John Bull." a fine boat 190 feet Ions, which was burned in 1838. It was r lated of the latter boat that shs earned more money while "at anchor than while In operation. This arose out of the fact that she burned sj much coal that she -was unprofitable, but' while at anchor was often used as the official residence of His Excellency the Governor-General, Lord Durham. The third steamboat accident of which there is a record, was that of the "Montreal," which was lost in & snow storm near Batiscan in November, 1833. First Iron Steamers. The first iron steamers came int use on the St. Lawrence about 1843, the pioneers of that class being the "Prince Albert" and "Iron Duke,' which were used as ferry boats between Montreal on tho one side, and St. Lambert and Laprairie on the south shore. This was long befor the Victoria Bridge was built, and passengers from the south by tha Champlain and St. Lawrence Railway were landed on the south side and were conveyed across the river by these steamers. These boats wer built in Scotland and brought out In sections, being put together in Montreal. The year 1S43 saw the advent of the Richelieu Steamboat Company, which was destined to play an important part in St. Lawrence navigation in after years, much larger than the originators of the service ever dreamed. From the modest beginning of running some market boats to SortC to enable armers to market theii produce in Montreal, the company ha by steady growth and amalgamation with other companies, developed into one with assets exceeding $4,000.00 to Its credit, and operating steamers of all sizes, through and local, frort Lake Ontario to the Gulf of St. Law rence.

IU1IIIUUI UUII1II1UIII. Better ot Overlook the Farmer. There Is some sneering talk about the retention of duties upon grain and other agricultural products, apparently with the vague Idea that the tariff has some connection with the recent booming of prices on the Chicago Board of Trade and elsewhere. The sneering is indicative of the usual saperficial and erroneous view held by opponents of protection. Why should not the products of the farmer have a protective duty as well as those ol the .manufacturer? The farmers sup ply a large part, if not the greatei part, of the manufacturers custom. A protective duty 13 necessary to ali manufacturing Industries, and Hkewis the farmers would be exposed to for eign competition In rnany respecti were they deprived of protection.

Troy (N Y.) Times. Europe and Oar Tariff. Is the dissatisfaction of Europe with our new tariff testimony as to iti merit, at least as regards the great ma jorlty of its schedules? Germany Is not pleased, nor ii France. In Germany there were Ftlflei mutterlngs about a tariff war. Id Paris the new act is most unpopular Some French Industries will be hurt but th French on second thought con elude that it is policy to kep a elvi: tongu and take what medicine this new tariff measures out. Great Britain, apparently, is not sc hard hit as by the McKinley or thf Dingley tariff. Anyhow, sae alway grins and bears It, for she has nc alternative. No free trade country is In a position to retaliate, whatever the provocation. America has the bulge on Europe European manufacturers must have American raw material. They cannot get their cotton supply elsewhere Europe must have, also, American foodstuffs. And this year America Is raising record crops, while Europe Is short in wheat production by an Immense percentage. For another reason Europe, however much hurt by the nw tariff, does not care to try conclusions in a tariff war She cannot afford to provoke hostility in the American breast, or dollars may not flow so freely from American tour'sts pockets. The American Industry of touring Is directly contributory to European hotels, shopkeepers, railways and steamships. Toledo Dlade. Owners of America, One-fifth of all the wealth of the United States is In the "soil. The 6,739,657 separate farms which exist in this country have each an average value of $3,574. Two-fifths of the total wealth is In real estate other than farms, probably as widely distributed as agricultural property. These facts being so the Census Bureau standing sponsor for them it is a little difficult to understand how it Is that groups of high financiers and sheep-visaged families have come to own from 80 to 99 per cent of all the wealth of America, the percentages varying with the imagination of orators and writers. Trusts and gigantic corporations have reached far, but the farmer and the small holder of realty have so far not been menaced. Their wealth 13 their wealth, whatever political propaganda says to the contrary. The deposits of savings banks, the holdings in the care of national banks beyond the larger cities and the assets of life Insurance companies amounr to one-tenth of the national wealth. Again, the multi-millionaire appears barred from either ownership or control. The country in which the good things of the earth are more widely distributed than in this will, of course, be harpicr, more stable perhaps and more nearly approaching the Ideal of economists. Dut the distribution is really far more equitable than the iverage citizen believes, some million or so per cent better than politicians ;rl the literary men of the fire alirm school choose to say. IIlKher Tli a 11 the Illifheat. The supreme court of the United States has been criticised for maintaining a habit of mind which. In the opinion of not a few, more nearly fitted the period of the late 40s than the present. Others have condemned It for a high dictatorial attitude as became a court of autocracy rather than one of judiciary. Let not the critics be unhappy. The supreme court has not always get away with it. In instances, Just come to public attention, there have been members of the administrative branch of the government who have held themselves above the couit. The pay; of an army officer depends on the length of time he has served. The army people have argued that the military academy was a part of the service, and therefore an officer should be given credit for the years spent at West Foint. The treasury department has never thought so. But the United States Supreme Court upheld the army view in two different cases. The comptroller of the treasury had his doubts just the same. This wa3 twenty years ago. Not a single comptroller has agreed with the Supreme Court. Justice could rule, but the comptrollers administered. There Is no record, either, to show that any one of the many treasury officials who have held office In the twenty years has been cited for contempt. The opponents of our highest tribunal should find a grain of comfort in this business. It .might, though, distress those who dislike the institution of bureauocracy. Toledo I31ade.
