AFRICAN sLAv TRADE.
Capture of Negroes in 1eAb BY an
American Ships Crew.

Capture Of Negroes in 18%b BY an
American Ships Crew.
The story of the first American voy-
age to Africa, of which we have
definite record, tells us somewhat OF
the methods employed in obtaining
savage cargoes. A Boston ship, COM
manded by one Capt. Smith. went
away to Madeira with salt fish and
staves Sailing thence, with the pro-
ceeds of her sale, she touched on the
coast of Guinea" for slaves. She found
some London slave vessels already
there, with their captains very much
disgruntled because trade was dull.
There were very few slaves for sale,
that ID, and to liven matters little.
the Yankees and the Londoners united.
and "on pretense of some quarrel with
the natives landed a 'murderer-the
expressive name OF a small cannon-at-
tackled negro village on Sunday, kill
ed many of the inhabitants and made
few prisoners, two Of whom fell to the
share of the Boston ship" That was
in 1642-just twentysix years after the
Dutchman landed the slaves in Vir-
ginia, as recorded by John Rolfe. the
first American squaw man. False pre-
tense, outrage and slaughter of inno-
cents characterized the first-recorded
gathering of slaves in which the Amer
lean ship had part. They "killed many
of the Inhabitants" and got two slaves
for their share of the plunder. That
Capt. Smiths act was not according to
the ordinary usages of the trade may
be inferred from what happened when
he returned to Boston. A quarrel with
the ships owners over the proceeds
OF the voyage resulted In a law suit.
The story of the voyage was told In
court, and although it was not a Grim
inal trial. one of the magistrates
charged the master with three-fold
offense-murder, man-stealing and
Sabbath breaking" The captain es-
capped punishment on these charges on
the ground that the court had no jurts-
dictIon over crimes committed in
Africa "a decision that was typical Of
what was to GOMEZ, but the two slaves
were returned home.-"The Slave
Trade in America" by John r. Spears

all turn our thoughts to the consider
alton Of the important question OF
where we shall go for rest. recreation
and health.
There are all kinds of health and

land Of ours, some of them, unfortu-

who is fortunate enough to discover a
place where to use popular express
sion, he gets his moneys worth.
One Of the most interesting, pictur-
esque and delightful places in this
country is unquestionably the resort
known as the Magno Mud and Lithia
Water Cure. located at Indiana Nine
raj Springs, Indiana. Here come the
overworked business man, the worn
out devotee of society and the profess
sional man on the verge of nervous
prostration. as well as the sufferer
from rheumatism. kidney and skin
diseases for which the baths are es-
pecially beneficial. The place Is also
largely patronized by those who only
seek pleasure and recreation, Its loca-
tion making 1t particularly adapted for
this purpose. There are many roman
tic and beautiful spots and places of
interest in the vicinity and 1t would
be hard to find section of country
containing so many beautiful drives.
The country is very hilly. but the
roads are all graveled and kept In
good condition. This is one Of the
things that makes the place especially
attractive to those afflicted with rheu-
matism. as driving is about the only
outdoor pleasure one crippled with
rheumatism can indulge in. Some Of
the cures effected are really marvel
GUS and many who have gone to the
Magno Mud Cure as last resort have
returned home within few weeks
filled with renewed health and
strength.
The accommodations, service. table
and attendance Is all that can be de-
Sired and the rates very reasonable
indeed. The Springs is under the able
management of Major H. l.. Kramer
and postal card inquiry addressed
to him will bring complete detailed
information as well as a copy OF tho

which became a great friend Of the
stewardess. One day she fed another
monkey. a pretty. gentle creature. This
trihing attention enraged the other
monkey. which coaxed the little thing
to its side and then, before the stew
ardess had time to realize that mis-
chief was meant, took 1t by the neck
and flung 1t overheard.

BY this time several Of the prssen-
gers had arisen from their seats and
were looking In an indignant way at
the conductor for not stopping the car.
He, however, was one Of those high
collared, stoical young men who boss
things on the Broadway cars. and the
excitement created by the money
thrower did not cause him to turn
hair. All this time the car was bowl
ing as merrily along as Broadway cars
ever do bowl and II was getting far
,ther and farther away from the mon
ey. One or two Of the passengers were
about to jump off the car, but then
they thought better of 1t and turned
their gaze anxiously on the young wo.
man, who was hunting frantically
through her purse. Just as II seemed
the strain would be too much for the
excited passengers to bear longer the
fair thrower looked up smilingly at her
companion and murmured sweetly:
"It's all right, my dear. II wasn't a
goldpiece after ALL"
"What was 1t, then?" asked the sec.
ond young woman.
"Only crooked penny" replied the
thrower. 'I always throw away crook
ed pennies for luck"
Then both girls softly giggled, while
the other passengers, looking both fool
ish and disgusted. resumed their seats.
