large caIibre. Also there was plenty
of ammunition to feed the guns.
1t Is an axiom of lawyers and de-
tectives that the great criminal, no
matter how calculating and farseeing,
is tripped inevitably by some triiing
thing, some insignificant trifie that
he has overlooked in planning his
crime Thus it was with these two
twentieth century pirates. They did
not know, or, knowing, deemed it of
no Importance, that in an out of the
way place on the deck there was a
bell The captain of the Buckman
dreaded a fire at sea above all else
Usually the whistle calls the men to
quarters for fire drill, but this eau
tious skipper argued that If the whis-
tie should be disabled at some critical
moment when fire was discovered
much time would be lost in summon
ing the men. Therefore he had fire
bell installed and trained his men to
rush to their stations when it rang
1t was this fire bell that made the
plans of these freebooters go awry
just at the time when their adventure
hung in the balance.
Death for Steamers Captain.
The helmsman had been siIenced
and had steered the ship due east for
an hour with pistol at his back He
shuff1ed to and fro all he dared, and at
last awakened the captain, who was
sleeping in his cabin few feet away
from the wheelhouse. The captain
stirred His death was Inevitable, ac-
cording to the stern rules of piracy.
One of the robbers fired thrice and
killed him The shots brought for
ward the crew and the officers who
were on watch. One of the robbers
herded these aft at his pistols point,
just as It had been planned The rest
OF the crew and passengers were
sleeping. All would have gone well
with the robbers If the second officer
had not slipped over to the fire bell
and sounded the alarm. Then the
crew tumbled out and the situation
got beyond the control of the free
hooters. One jumped overheard when
he was cornered after a desperate
fight, the other calmly went to his

eth century pirate, who got away with
steamship laden with rich stores,
and defied two great powers, is now
in Sing Sing for long term of years
His story needs no fancy trimmings
to make 1t interesting. 1t tells itself.
and here it is:
Francis G. Bailey and his brother
Albert came to New York from Pitts
burg In 1905. They secured financial
backing from some wealthy men with
whom they became intimate and or
ganized the Export Shipping company
Then they began a worldwide cam
paign to make connections with hun
dreds of houses that sold their goods
in foreign countries. A large number
of export merchants began to use
Bailey's company as a channel through
which to send their goods abroad.
The warehouses of the Export Ship
ping company were jammed with cost
ly merchandise
Bailey chartered the steamer Colds
boro-an old Clyde hner-and loaded
her with a cargo valued at 100000
He armed the ship with rifles and
small cannon. In his cabin safe was
$50, 900 in currency.
This done, Bailey Informed the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor that
he was inaugurating a floating ex-
position of American manufactures" to
arouse interest in American industry
in foreign lands. A license was taken
out under the British flag and the
Goldsboro steamed away from New
York May 2, 1908.
Search for the Looters
Six days later receivers were ap-
pointed for the Export Shipping COM
pany. Its warehouses had been loot
ed. No one knew exactly where the
Bailey brothers with their ship were
bound for. American consuls in all
the South American countries were
warned by cable to keep lookout for
the Goldsboro. But this modern pi-
rate craft had disappeared, and it was
at first thought from wreckage that
was seen that she had been lost
with all on board. 1t was proved
afterward that Bailey had set the
wreckage afioat- At sea Bailey had

the vessel reprinted and her name
changed to the Atalantida- For a
time he roamed the ocean aimlessly,
and then put into one of the chief
ports of Honduras. Bailey knew>that
there was no extradition treaty be-
tween that country and the United
States.
Honduras Forced to Give Him Up.
Honduras refused to recognize the
request for Bailey's arrest but
changed her mind when the United
States government announced that it
would send a man-of-war after the
Goldsboro and the Baileys and take
them by force. Then there were a
lot of complications in which England
took a hand. A gunboat was sent,
however, finally, and the Baileys and
several others were placed in the
hands of Lieutenant Beery, from Null
berry street. Bailey jumped over
board in the harbor of Puerto Cortez
and escaped. His brother was brought
to New York. tried and sentenced to
prison
The next that was heard of Francis
Bailey was in British Columbia, where
he was living under the name of Col
Kirkconnel on small ranch that he
! had bought with some of the money
he had escaped with. He was found
through watching the mail that was
received by a young woman school
teacher in Brooklyn, friend of his.
A good share of the money that
Bailey got away with is unaccounted
for. 1t Is supposed that he buried it on
the coast of Honduras. If he did, he
has never told where But for more
than a year, in these enlightened
times. Bailey held the attention OF
three countries with his pirate ship
and armed crew.; baf1ed every effort
to apprehend him, and, as he says
himself, might be still doing so if he
had not grown weary and lonesome

TINY BABY's PITIFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be a few
mattered pimp1es. They would break
the skin and peel of leaving the I'M
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw
full to see so small baby look as she
did. Imagined The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura-
By using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came of. Un-
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath, Now the
baby is four months old. She is a fine
picture of a fat little baby and all
is well. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura Is there would be few suffer
| ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph KOss-

GOLDEN GIANT MINE WELL PLAYED A1
 THE MARTIN

An enjoyable presentation of "The Golden Giant Mine,'' a western melo- drama, was given at the Martin theater last night by the Quinn stock company.
 "The Golden Giant Mine' is a play whose setting is laid in an Idaho min ing camp and throughout the piece, situations arise in strict keeping with what one may expect to find in such a place. The plot has to do with q wo- man who has been tricked into desert ing her husband, the attempts of her enemies to further encompass her ruin and to obtain possession of valuable gold mine Other counterplots are en- countered throughout the piece and on the whole it is replete with very thrill ling situations.
 The entire cast appears to good advantage in the piece and the play should enjoy a very successful week end run.
 "The Devil" is scheduled to follow this production.
