SEES PIRATES Die.
Bride Helps Husband Defend Craft
and Witnesses Execution.

New York, May 23.-The tale of a
bride whose skill with a rifle had con-
siderable to do with saving her hus-
bands ship from Chinese pirates, is
being told on the New York water
front today by the crew of the Jute-
opolis, a four-masted clipper just in
from China.
The twelve months trip from New
York to China and back was the
honeymoon tour of Captain Frank
Downs and his bride, formerly Miss
Nellie Carter of Baltimore.
The Juteopolis was many miles up
the Chu-Kfang, river of unsavory re-
pute, when the attack by pirates came.
There were sixty of them and they
sWarmed aboard the vessel while part
OF the crew was on shore leave. The
officers and the shippers bride, who
is crack rifle shot, were ready to re-
celve them, however, with several
lines of hose, pistols, Delaying pins and
the brides rifle.
Kills Two Chinese
terrific fight followed, and in it
mrs. Downs took prominent part.
The pirates closed in on the little COM
pany, swinging knives and clubs. Mrs.
Downs stood off a little and got in
two effective shots. Finally the pirates
fed.
The attempt to loot the ship was
reported to the authorities and later
the skipper and his mate were invited
to Canton to see ten pirates executed
They attended, but did not recognize
any of the pirates, chiefly because, as
they remarked, all Cinnamon looked
alike to them. The head mans work
was skillful. They heard that he was
expected to decapitate at the first blow
and that failure to do so would send
him promptly to death by the same
sword he had welded. He did not
miss a stroke.

HENRY wEYMANN WILL FLY.
American. Now Abroad, to Represent

New York, May 23.-The Aero Club
of America has received word from
Henry Weymann, the American avia-

America in the race for the interna-

The club has available for the two
other places Earl l.. Ovington and j. v.

At first it was hoped that either the
Wright brothers or Glenn H. Curtiss
would send over machines, but both
refused. Apparently none of the
American team will use American ma
chimes. Weymann will fly Newport

for the gameness of a pair of robins in
sticking to their nest on flying trip
between Hamilton, Ontario, and Bur
falo. has resulted in a car being taken
out of the train and sidetracked for
their benefit until their young are
ready to shift for themselves.
Patrolman Mooney yesterday noticed
the nest behind the top rung of a brake
ladder on an empty car that came over
the international bridge. When the
train came to a standstill he clamberej
up to investigate. Before he reached
the top of the ladder a pair of robins
were fluttering around and making a
great ado. There were four eggs in the
nest.
Railroad men who became as inter-
ested as the policeman managed to
find something wrong with the brakes
and the car was placed on dead sid
ing, where it will be allowed to remain
until the birds get through with it.
