The dam is only so feet to 90 feet

TRIAL OF CAPTAIN KID

The name of Captain Kidd is the most familiar of all the pirates who sailed the Atlantic in search of ad- venture, and more especially of plum der Although it is considerable more than two centuries ago that Kidd was convicted and hanged and, while other pirates have been forgotten, he is still recalled through an effort that is started every now and then to discover the burial place of his ill-gotten treas ures. From Nova Scotia all along the Atlantic coast of the United States searching parties have been organized upon the obtaining of a new clew as to the hidden loot.
 Captain Kidd was a Scotch navigator during the latter part of the seven teenth century. Piracy was very prev alent on the high seas and syndicate Was formed for the purpose of destroy ing the practice. Robert Livingston, a rich New York merchant and landoWn- CT, and Lord Bellomont, the English governor, were at the head of the syn dicate. and in looking about for a cap
  their choice fell upon Kidd. So King William sent a commission empower ing the well-beloved and trusty Cap tain Kidd to seize French and pirate ships at will
 Kidd started off on the Adventurer, but the adage set a rogue to catch a rogue" did not work in his case, for i h. l.. I. I sunk all the legitimate merchant ships he met. How many vessels Captain Kidd and his crew plundered. is hard to tell. Finally it was necessary to send out a squadron to capture him. He had been operating with excellent suc- cess in the Indian Ocean. but he was given warning of the coming of his captOrs and he eluded them and sailed for the American coast
 1 Fearing to enter New York harbor. Kidd touched at oyster Bay, L. l., and sent for New York lawyer and re- quested him to see Lord Bellomont with a view of opening negotiations. Bellomont sent word that the captain had nothing to fear, consequently he ! Atllt Oli tO bONltll, tlliN HE Oil JulN 1899

 When Captain Kidd reached England
 he Was thrown into jail. There had
 been great excitement over the af- fair. and even it was insinuated that the king profited by Kidd's nefarious
 business. For year the pirate was kept in prison before he was placed or trial
 At the trial Kidd denied that he had ever consented to be pirate but claimed that his crew had bullied him

into it. He could not be convicted of piracy, even by court which for some mysterious reason rushed his trial through with suspicious haste and lack of justice. But he was found guilty of having killed a mutinous sailor named William Moon by hitting him over the head with bucket.
 At the trial it is said that Kidd bore himself with dignity, making no com plaint of Bellomont's treachery. He told the story of his expedition with some show of frankness, but everything was against him. He was not allowed to present whatever evidence he had in his behalf. The jewels and gold dust which he had sent to the Countess of Bellomont were considered a bribe, and Bellomont, suffering from gout, wrecked his vengeance to the utmost on the man who had failed to bring him the plunder expected
 To the last, Captain Kidd protested his innocense of piratical intent when he undertook the mission and to the judge who condemned him, he said: :-
 My lord. it is a very hard sentence. For my part I am the most innocent person of them all"
 Captain Kidd was hanged at Execu- tion Dock, London. with nine of his crew. on May "A, 1701. There were present the marshal of the admirality the deputy marshal, two city marshals officers and some who had helped to condemn him. They stood silently awaiting the approach of the prisoner and at the. sound of footsteps they turned to catch last glimpse of the bold. flashing pirate. Their scorn was turned 10 pity. for down the gray stone steps came an old sea captain, tired and worn, to meet his doom.

 LIKE GOOD FELLOW
Eugene RedewilI Finds Again How
 We'll Republican Ads Pay

We'll Republican Ads Pay
 Eugene RedeWill has again learned that advertising in The Republican pays. He found it out much to his discomfort. In fact the finding made him squirm.
 Redewill ran an "ad" in The Re publican last Sunday It was q puzzle ''ad,' requiring the addition of so many lines to a number given by the reuse of the same alphabetical let ters in the lines given. For each correct answer Redewill promised one big round shining simoleon.
 He has had a stack of answers. In all there were some four hundred or more who sent in answers to the puzzle, which in itself was all right. But there were over 150 of the ans wers correct. which meant the pony ing up of just that many bones.
 That wasn't the worst. From the St. Luke Home, east of the city, there came to the Redewill office just forty correct answers with a demand for $40. Redewill had to pay. cause he had not provided that one solving correctly the answer could not divulge the great secret to another.
 And he did pay. Yesterday the St. Luke Home took from the Redewin music house $40 worth of the best Victrola records in stock, their choice over the actual cash.
