sition and made him a willing slave.
Towards the close of the passage this
phenomenal green hand was discov-
cred to be a woman, and, more Gu
rious still, the wife of the buckle. w.
w. Jacobs has never been sailor,
but he can write nautical short story
far better than many men who have.
Anne Bonney and Mary Read are not
infrequently quoted as examples of
the woman sailor. Yet very much of
the information concerning them is OF
a legendary character. and would not
stand the test of legal analysis. They
were not only women sailors, but also
women pirates. Bonney was the
daughter of a Carolina planter, and
having clandestinely married sailor
named Raclxham, then in command of
a piratical craft, she assumed a manly
garb in order to escape her parents
watchfulness and take part in her
husbands exploits, which would have
been impossible in petticoats with
such a crowd of cut-throats Mary
Read is said to have been brought up
as a boy: she served in various ca
pacities ashore and afloat, and even
tually married a man at whose side
she had fought as a soldier in the
war.

LYDIA THOMPSON
DIED IN LONDON

DIED in LONDON
NEW YORK. November 17.-Lydia
Thompson, perhaps the most famous
burlesque actress of her time, died sud
denly today at her home in Westmin-
ster Mansions, near Westminster Alb
hey, London, England. News reached
this country in brief cablegram to
her daughter Zeffie Tilbury.
Probably no other woman of the
English stage, either in serious or
frivolous phases of drama, excited such
furore in the United States as did
Lydia Thompson when she first came
here in 1868, Her reputation had pre-
coded her, however, for she already
had made a triumphal tour of the
chief capitals OF Europe, She brought
over a troupe of pretty, buxom Eng
lish blonde girls, who danced them
selves into instant favor at the old
Niblo's Garden. She retained her po-
pularty for over twenty years and
made a large fortune,

AS further illustrating this point OF
giving sea-going officers complete con-
troll, it is matter of history and Off
cial record that during Grants first
term his Secretary of the Navy, Borie
for a time turned the actual admin
istration over to Admiral Porter. ADJ
miral Porter was sailor in the strict
genealogical sense of the term, in that
he believed there was nothing like
sails AS soon as he was in authority
he caused the four-bladed propellers of
the vessels to be removed and replaced
by two-bladed ones in order that the
ships might maneuver better under
sail. The inefficiency thereby brought
about is, of course, apparent to any
engineer, as the size of the propeller
opening was fixed and tlD two-bladed
screw could not be made large enough
A few years later, in report to the
department, he actually claimed that
the vessels were faster under steam
with the mutilated screws. The facts,
of course, were just the reverse, and
when his influence became less, proper
propelers were again fitted This was
when he was still in his prime, and his
judgment was, at least, not impaired
by age. About twenty years later,
when the Roach cruisers were being
built the dear Old man, then over 20,
went before the Naval Committee and
said that the plans of these vessels
were wrong, because they had only
/ auxiliary sail power. In his judgment
they should have been given full sail
I power, with steam as an auxiliary.
He was still a sailor The world had
not moved for Engineering Mag

Emerson once rather pithily put it
that with the wind always in the

weather invariably agreeable and all
clear for running as Jack says, wo-
men might quite easily become sail

ever, of women who have made a
name on board ship as sailors in all
sorts and conditions of weather. On
the whole it may be asserted, without
fear of competent contradiction, that
the gentler sex are decidedly out Of

A former resolution by Senator

Senator Culberson offered his
resolution in another form yester-
day, merely asking that it be
printed and lie on the table sub

caught mapping and the order was
made in the usual routine way be

Worst Fire Since Confiagration of

Baltimore Md, Jan. 24.-The
biggest fire that has visited Balti-
more since the calamity of 1904 last
night resulted in the death of three
firemen and the injury of ten more,
among the latter being George Hor-
ton, chief of the department. The
damage is estimated at from $780,
900 to 100000.
Starting some time after midnight
on the third floor of the building
on the southeast corner of Holiday
and Saratoga streets, occupied by the
J. REGISTER & Son company, plumb

that general alarm, followed al
most Immediately after the first one
was sent in. A gale from the north
west spread the fire rapidly and this
and the very cold weather made the
work of the firemen more than usu-
ally difficult. Within very few
minutes after the flames burst from

side fell. The men killed and wound

HIS BODY

Waco, Texas, Jan 23.-Gazing
directly into the face of death for
long minute and so close that he
could have reached out and touched
life, Sheriff George w Tilley of Nc
Lehman county had an experience
last night that he will remember to
his dying day-an experience from
which he emerged unharmed, al
though five pistol bullets pierced his
clothing. three going through his
coat just under the right arm, and
two tearing ragged holes through
the skirt of his overcoat The sher-
IFS clothing was also singed and
burned by powder so close was he
to the muzzle of the revolver.
John T. Barr, Missouri. Kansas
and Texas switchman, Sheriff Til
ley's assailant, was arrested. Accord
ing to Barr's story he and another
man, whose name he claims not to
know, were walking on the railroad
tracks when his companion, suddenly
exclaiming there comes Tilley," q"
broke and ran. Barr then goes on to
state that not knowing who was
chasing them he stopped and draw
! ing his gun opened fire when his pur-
! suer approached Barr emptied his
revolver as rapidly as he could pull

! shot turned to fee. By this time
Sheriff Tilley had reached his own
gun and opened fire on Barr, but
! without effect. After a short chase,
! however, the sheriff overlook Barr
and succeeded in placing him under
arrest.

f., the extent that while he was follow

Stop That Cold

To check early colds or Grippe with 'Preventics'
means sure defeat for Pneumonia. To stop cold
with Preventcs is safer than to let it run and be
obliged to cure it afterwards. To be sure. Pre-
ventics will cure even a deeply seated cold, but
taken early-at the sneeze stage--they break. or
head off these early colds: That's surely better.
That's why they are called Preventics.
Preventicsare little Candy Cold Cures. No Quin-
inc. no physic, nothing sickening. Nice for the
children-and thoroughly safe too. If you feel
chilly if you sneeze if you ache all over, think of
Preventics. Promptness may also save half your
usual sickness, And don't forget your child, if
thereis feverishness, nightor day. Herein prob
ably lies Preventics' greatest efficiency. Sold in
sc boxes for the pocket, also in 25c boxes of 48
Preventics. Insist on your druggists giving you
