Romantic Story.

The story of the buried treasure is
particularly romantic and fascinating:
Twenty eight years ago doctor named
Davidson, while on voyage from
Hawaii to San Francisco, attended an
old sailor, who before he died confded
to him a remarkable secret. He stated
that in 1905, while young boy, he,
with others, was captured by the no.
torious pirate Latrobe. Soon after the
pirate vessel, which contained a large
amount of ill gotten wealth, was closely
pressed by Spanish man-of-war and a
Yankee aioS corvette ~ For time Latrobs
took advantage of this opportunity to
disembark his treasure on one of the
islands which abound in what was then
known as the Spanish main. Here he
buried the gold and jewels, estimated
to be worth in modern currency 81, 900,-
600. The boy was present at this inter
esting juncture. Latrobe and his blood
thirsty crew were captured by the pur-
suing vessels the next day, and taken
to Kingston, Jamaica, where they had
melted out to them the Justice they had
So long evaded. The boy was able to
prove his innocence, and was allowed
to 60 free. "'.s5 '...-~t 80
=. 7"s".~. - Americans Fail. ~ -
Before the execution Latrobe gave to
the youth papers indicating the locality
of the treasure, enjoining him to con-
vey the documents to Laftte, who was
the head of the fleet of pirates This
trust the boy failed to carry out and
instead kept the papers,; He was, how,
ever, prevented, mainly by lack Of
funds, from recovering the treasure
himself. On his deathbed he gave the
papers to DR.. Davidson. sssaf s''1a%i;. Is
- This gentleman succeeded in interest
ing some New York men in the matter,
and in 1887 started, with several others,
for the island. When the expedition ar
rived they found the place where the
treasure was buried, and unmistakable
indications of the existence of the
treasure itself. The. weight of the
boxes had, however, sunk the gold some
thirty feet in quicksand, and as they
had none of the. implements necessary
they were forced to turn back. On
their way their yacht met with disaster,
and they were obliged to take to the
boats, being picked up afterwards by
passing vessel. One other very feeble
attempt was organized eight years
afterwards, but owing to lack of fnan-
cial support it was abandoned.
Captain Small has in his possession
all that is necessary for the finding of
the treasure, and implements for the
recovery of it when located. He and
his men are hardy, experienced, and re-
sourceful, and intend to prosecute the
search to a finish. -.-:..

TREASURE OF PIRATE
SOUGHT by BRIT0Ns.
An Expedition Equipped to Dig
in Quicksand for Lost
Millions.

Liverpool, Nov. / 0.-Much interest has
been aroused in Liverpool by the pres
ence in the Coburg dock of the sailing
yacht Catherine, in command Of Cap
tain Small, which is fitting out for an
adventurous voyage to the Caribbean
sea in search of buried treasure, said
to be of the value Of more than mil
lion sterling. The Catherine is the
smallest sailing craft that has ventured
on such voyage, but her captain and
crew are confident of her ability to per-
form the task.
According to Captain Small's story
he intends starting off early next year,
calling at Queenstown, and thence go
ing direct to New York The voyage
to New York may occupy from six to
eight weeks, and from that port to
their destination in the Caribbean sea
about a month. The entire voyage will
therefore take from two and half to
three months. The yacht itself, tho
small, is perhaps the most strongly
built vessel Of her tonnage sailing out
of any port in the world She has
plenty of beam, is remarkably well
built all over, with three keels, and she
is undoubtedly capable Of withstanding
any kind Of weather with which she
ma. meet Inside she is well fitted
with all that she may require, both on
and at the end Of her journey, and
nothing that human forest ght can con-
ceive is lacking.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.

 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always pres ent in inc stomach and intestines and carr4es them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking. -rinking or after eating on- ions and other odorous vegetables
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, tt whitens the teeth and further acts as q natural and eminently safe catharttc.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels: it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison Of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money Is in Stuart's Charcoal LOzenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antisep- tics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
