The troops have had nothing to eat

l'oLoNNoIS, THE CRUEL,
Rs Was the Most Ferocious OF All the
Famous buccaneers.

Famous buccaneers.
Frank II. Stockton is writing "The
Buccaneers of Our Coast" in ST. Mich
olas. He says;
Among the buccaneer leaders who
distinguished themselves as land pi'
rates was Francis L'Olonnois, n
Frenchman. In those days il was the
custom To enforce seryitude upon peo-
Pile who are not able to take care Of
themselves; unfortunate debtors and
paupers of all classes were sold To
people who had need of their services.
Boys aud girls were sold for term of
years, somewhat rs il they hal been
apprentices; aud it so happened that
the boy L'Olonnuis was sold to mas
ter who took him Ia the West Indies.
There he led the life of n slave until he
was of age; and then, being no longer
subject To ownership, he became one of
the freest and most independent per-
sons who ever walked this earth. EIe
began his career on the island Of His
PAMELA, where he took up the bust.
ness Of hunting and butchering cattle,
listed rs u common sailor on one Of
their ships. Here he gave signs Of be.
ing so brave and INSCRIPTIONS that
Que of the leading pirates on the island
of Tortuga gave him ship and II
crew, and set him up IN business.
The career of L'Olonnoia was much
like that Of other buccaneers Of the
day except that he was abominably
cruel to his Spanish prisoners.
All the barbarities attributed to tho
pirates Of the world were united in
the career of this wretch, who does
not appear to be so good an example
of the true pirate as Roe, the Brazilian.
He was not so brave, hc was not so
able, and it would he impossible for
any one to look upon him IA u hero.
After having attained in short time
the reputation of being the wickedest
pirate of his day, L'Olonnois was un-
fortunate enough TO be wrecked upon
the coast near Campeachy, He and
his crew came safely to shore, but it
was not long before their presence
was discovered by the people of the
town, and the Spanish soldiers attacked
them. There was fierce fight, but
the Spaniards were stronger, aud the
buccaneers were utterly defeated.
Many were killed, wounded, or taken
prisoners.
Among the wounded was L'Olon-
nois, aud when the Spaniards walked
over the battlefield, he was looked
upon as killed. When the soldiers
had retired, he stealthily arose and
made his way into the woods, where
he stayed until his wounds were well
enough for him to walk about. He
Invested himself of his great boots,
his pistol.belt, and the rest Of his
piratical costume, and adding to his
scanty raiment II cloak and hat which
hc had stolen from poor cottage, he
boldly approached the town aud
entered it. He looked like very or
binary person, and no notice was
taken Of him by the authorities. Here
he found shelter and something to eat,
and soon began to make himself very
much at home i'll the streets Of Cam

THE TROLLEY WAGON.
A New Thing which Makes Fifteen Miles
an Hour.

an Hour.
The very latest vehicle 10 transport
people around ~ called the trolley
wagon. This interesting continuance
in really happy medium between the
trolley car and the ordinary vehicle.
We have had auto-cars and motor cars,
but the trolley wagon il neither. 1t
is an invention all by itself, and its
source OF power is the one thing that
enables the trolley car to call it a first
cousin.
The motor Of tho wagon is connected
10 the rear wheel by suitable gearing.
II is about l5-horsepower. IL is n
powerful affair, for its two rear wheels
are eight feet in diameter. The two
front wheels are four feet in diameter.
The frame supporting the motor is
suspended from the wagon frame.
The width of the wheels is cOnsid-
cradle, and AZ the front wheels are
much nearer together than the rear
wheels the wagon acts to quite
degree as n road roller. One Of the
advant ages Of the trolley wagon is
that the worst road in the country has
no terrors for il. The width Of it's
wheels and the way they are adjusted
make it possible for it TO even ride
over plowed ground in safety, and
without that disagreeablo jar that
rough road general y causes.
The trolley itself is adapted TO run
either on two or three wires. Every
one who has seen trolley car must
have noticed the little wheel that runs
along on the wire. This is called the
locking wheel, and it's movement,
which has heretofore been OH vertical
plane, is arranged in this instance to
operate on a horizontal plane, thus
changing complication to simplicity
and reducing the cost and weight OF
the wheel
The inventor OF the vehicle believes
there are wonderful prospects in store
for il. He sees no reason why IL may
not be utilized in many sections Of the
country, particularly where street cars
do not run, and the building Of q
street car line would involve tremen-
dous expense. He thinks the trolley
wires could be erected, and then all
that is needful will have been accom-.
plished, rs the trolley wagon can run
over any kind Of n road.

row of young girls, with tier of cups

Joyous music follows. On hearing
this they simultaneously, with mill

HIGH PRICES FOR LAND.
More Than $3.50 Per square Foot Paid
for A Lot In New York.

Tor 10 Lot IN New YORK.
The most valuable plat of ground in
this country, at least, the one that has
commanded the highest price, is To-
Gated at the corner of Broad aud Wall
streets, New York city, in the heart of
the great financial district. Several
years ago, says the Washington Star
Mr.. Wilkes established record for
high. priced realty by paying Sl6S, 600
for 500 square feet of ground on this
site, or S33O.70 per square foot.
The immensity of this rate of valus.
ton can best be- appreciated by meas.
uripg oil u square foot Of space and
then comparing its dimensions with
those Of $3.50 in money. Such com.
parison will show that il Mr.. Wilkes
had paid for his property in one.dol-
cover his entire lot with ~ layers Of
greenbacks, or ho could have paved it
with four tiers of silver dollars placed
edge to edge as closely as they would
lie. Doubtless il the worthy Dutch
burghers of New Amsterdam could
return to earth they would be as
founded to learn the value of the land
on which they pastured their cows 200
years ago.
Though no other piece of ground
has commanded an equal price per
foot, there are several other plats in
New York city which are quite equal
TO tho Wilkes property in value. For
example, considerably larger lot on
the northwest corner of Nassau and
Pine streets, one block above the
Wilkes property, was sold last year
for $3.50 per square foot, and the OPP
posite corner of the same streets, in.
Guiding 6043 feet, was bought by the
Hanover National bank for 81 a., $50, 900.
The lot on the corner Of Broadway
aud Maiden lane, and the site of the
Commercial Cable company's build.
ing in Broad street, are alsoproperties
that could be covered fifty deep with
dollar bills ont of their purchase price.
Probably the largest amount ever
paid for the site Of single building
was that given by the Broadway Realty

Bowling Green building has been
erected. This sky-scraper, which il
the largest in tho city, extends from
Broadway through to Greenwich street,
and covers 80, 1872 feet Of ground, for
which 50, 900, 900 was paid. This is
slO2. 80 per foot, and though the price
per foot is less than has been paid for
several other plats, the total represents
an enormous sum To pay merely for
the ground on which TO erect one
building. One peculiar effect in real
estate values that has followed the
sky-scraper era is the extraordinary
price which has been put upon sites
that are suitable for very high build
ings. Spots with open surroundings,
on which other lofty structures are
not likely TO be built, are, OF course,
the most desirable for this purpose,
and such places are few in the city Of
New York. The result is that many
buildings which are already very prof.
table are being torn down to make
room for the erection Of sky-scrapers.
