When Nipper was on the stand yes
terday morning he pointed out Co the

IN his answers
Nipper denied yesterday that he had

Don't Worry.

This is easier said than done, yet it
may be of some help to consider the
matter. If the cause is something over
which you have no control it is obvious
that worrying will not help the matter
in the least. On the other hand, if
within your control you have only to
act. When you have cold and fear
an attack of pneumonia, buy bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
use it judiciously and all cause for
worry as to the outcome will quickly
disappear. There is no danger of pneu-
monia when it is used. For sale by j.

| cruise and she went aboard the ship with
Mrs Kidd to greet her father. The histo-
| rians have not been able TO trace the
daughters life very far. She Is known
to have married into the hker family
at Newtown. but none OF her posterity
has been traced.
Conductors on the Long Island Railroad
have noticed likeness to the language OF
the celebrated pirate in the words spoken
by some of the commuters from that part
of the island when the trains come late
to New York. 1t is quite possible that
descendants of Kidd are living in or near
New York. all In ignorance of the fact.
Latter day biographers of Capt. Kidd
agree that he Is entitled TO thorough
coat OF whitewash. He was not a pirate,
they say, any more than any sea captain
Of his day, but was the victim OF COM
bination of unfortunate circumstances
and political plots
John d. Champlin. who wrote Tho
True Captain Kidd which appeared in
the December number OF Hdrpers Mdgd-
zne, said the other day:
Capt. Kidd did not deserve the paint
with which he was painted. That article
was written to show how false is the repu- =
tation that history has given him
He was a respected and law-abiding
citizen OF New York. occupying hand
some house and having considerable prop
erty. His venture on the seas was under
taken under royal favor. His men could
not resist the temptation TO turn pirates.
and political conditions in New York at
that time were employed to enmesh Kidd.
f,,l
others in his troubles, effected his ruin.
Il have seen the statement occasionally
that possibly Kidd buried some Of his
treasure under one Of the houses which
he owned in New York. The suggestion
is absurd. for Kidd never set foot on Man
haitian Island after his piratical voyage
when he came back he landed at Oyster
Bay He took his sloop to Block Island.
where his wife and daughter visited him.
What treasure he buried was hidden in
Gardeners Island and afterward turn Ell
over by John Gardiner to the Crown"
The illustrations for Mr.. Champlin's
article were made by Howard Pyle, than
whom it would be hard to find a more capable
artist to picture a pirate But Mr.. Pyle
sketched his Kidd with free hand. He
put rings in his ears, murderous sco~l
on his face. darkened him to the hue OF
gypsy and dressed him as vivid imagi-
nation must garb a great pirate
There is no record on which this treat
ment may be justified. Capt. Kidd was
Scotchman OF Greenock. He was first
heard Of in tho West Indies in 1889 as captain
OF a privateer in the war with France.
He was a brave and able seaman.
In the year when he married the Widow
Oort the General Assembly Of New York
declared that Capt. William Kidd, for
his many good services rendered the prov
ince lin attending with his vessel to guard
against enemies and pirates). deserves TO
be suitably rewarded" In May OF that

He was hanged where the World building
now stands. Capt. Kidd's house boasted

An inventory made by the Crown showed
that he had also a dozen Turkey made
chairs. four looking glasses. four feather
beds, ter blankets. one coat OF arms. l04

of picked cider. and negro woman.
It was from this comfortable abode
leaving behind him a comely wife and .
little daughter. that Kidd set forth on the
voyage which brought him to the gibbet.

daughter Of a sea captain, who acquired
a snug fortune which she inherited.
Her first husband was William Cox, an
Alderman and a -four merchant. who be-
queathed to her a good-sized fortune. He
pershed in the Raritan not long after their
marriage, while returning from a public
errand to the Jerseys, where he had been
sent TO carry the news Of the accession OF
william and Mary.
John Oort, a sea captain, took his place
as Sarah's husband within year and when
Oort died she married Kidd, who was the
executor Of Oorts will. Mrs. Kidd thus
came to her third husband within two
years With the additions to her estate

he sent to Lady Bellamont a present OF
5000 in gold and that day Bellamont or
dered his arrest.
He was taken into custody at Bella
mont's door and sixteen pounds OF chains
were fastened 70 him. He lay in Jail IN
Boston until the spring Of l700, when he
was sent TO England where he was tried
first for murder OF william Moore. one Of
the gunners Of the Adventure galley. and
sfterward with six Of his men for piracy.
He was convicted Of both crimes and hanged
with eight others at Execution Dock.
Kidd. according to Mr. Champlin, was
made a political sacrifice. Men known
to have committed piraces and even worso
crimes returned home to live unInolested
in the enjoyment Of their gains. nay, were
sometimes honored with official recogni-
ton" he writes Charles ii. knighted
Morgan, a notorious pirate, and made him
Governor Of Jamaica, although he had been
proclaimed to be hanged"
Charles Wingate, who is an authority on
the early history Of New York and has
written a book about Capt. Kidd, said Of
him: Kidd was a man Of considerable
culture and of high standing in New York
when he took the commission which brought
him To pirates end He went our on that
voyage in good faith undoubtedly, and
became a victim of circumstances.
There is no picture of Kidd in existence
and not even a copy Of his signature on
this side Of the water. There is a sigma
