FAMOUS TRIALS
TRIAL OF CAPT. KIDD.

The name of Capt Kidd is the most familiar of all the pirates who sailed the Atlantic in search of adventure, and more especially of plunder. Az though 1t is considerably more than two centuries ago that Kidd was co T. Victed 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 i'll gotten treas ures From Nova Scotia all along the Atlantic coast of the United States searching parties have been organized upon the strength of obtaining a new clew as to the hidden loot.
 Capt Kidd was a Scotch navigator during the latter part of the seven teenth century. Piracy was pireva- lent on the high seas and a syndicate was formed for the purpose of destroy ing the practice. Robert Livingston. a rich New York Merchant and land owner, and Lord Bellomont, the Eng fish governor, were at the head of he captain for their pirate destroying King William sent a commission em- powered the we'll beloved and trussy Capt. Kidd" to seize French and pi- rate ships at will
 Kidd started off on the Adventurer, the adage 'set a rogue to catch a rogue" did not work in his case, for ne pirate himself and footed and sunk all the legitimate merchant ships he met. How many vessels Capt. Kidd and his crew plundered is hard to tell Fin

THEN and NOW

More than 5000 missionaries of both sexes from the United States, and 3S,000 native converts acting as missionaries, are teaching the Christian faith throughout the world. They have converted l.5e0,- 900 men, women and children Tn all lands, and are bringing 5000 more into the fold every year. Over 1,300,000 are learning the ways of Christianity in the 30,000 colleges, theological seminaries, training and Sunday schools that have been es- tablished by American mission aries. The modern missionary is not only a spiritual adviser, but undertakes to cure physical ills as well. In the coo hospitals and free dispensaries established in foreign lands, it is estimated that 5000, ,000,- 900 treatments have been given by the 400 male and female doctors making up the Foreign Missionary medical star. In times Of famine they distribute huge sums of money The expenses of this vast campaign arc enormous; but no country is as liberal as the United States Last year the American people eoHtri- buted nearly SIT, ,00o, 900 to promote the work, while all nations are spending about $SS.0Q0.e00 to sup port their A 1000 Christian and 1t2.- 900 native missionaries who have gathered over 6.000.000 adherents in the faith.

One hundred and eight years ago today the first step was taken toward establishing the foreign missionary movement. On this day five students of Williams College gathered in grove near the col lege to hold .an open air meeting. The day was hot and oppressive. In the midst of the meeting a light ming bolt flashed across the sky, announcing the approach of thunderstorm. Hurriedly collecting their belongings, the students ing haystack. Here they continued their discussions while the storm ragged. Shouting to make himself understood above the thunder, the young leader. Samuel J. Mills, pro- posed that they organize ito spread the Gospel among the heathen." That was the first step. Two years later Mills organized the Society of Brethren requiring each of the five members thereof to solemnly dedicate his life as a missionary. Public opinion being against mis- sions. the organization was kept secret and it's constitution was drawn up in cipher. Six years had passed since the historic Hay stack meeting," whose location is now marked with a monument, be- fore the first five missionaries, four of whom were accompanied by their wives sailed from Phila- deiphia for Indian upon the first American eSangeiistic campaign to foreign lands.

It doesn't make any difference how nigh prices get there are still men wflt sell their hand many times every day and who can manage to get 40 quarts to the bushel, or underrun weights just a half ounce from morning till night.
 One of the most difficult stunts ap. pears to be to be honest every minute in the day with ourselves as well as with others.
 wicked practice according to the sealer of weights and measures at Lynn. Mass. is that the packers make him buy seeking. twine. paper, skew CTS and blocks at meat prices. This, the Lynn official says, has got to stop in his bailiwick.
 It is said that the move proposed by the Lynn sealer against the district superintendents of the packers will be the first test of the net weight law ir, regard to beef, law which requires that the product be sold without un- eatable trimmings.
 There ought to be more stringent regulations in the sale of edibles.
 The people who have their own scales and weigh their goods after dealers are not only protecting them selves, but in a way are sustaining every honest weight dealer in the com munity.

MARIE IN HER STYLISH SUIT


 And be sure to slit up the side seam so I'll have plenty of room to walk.
 These instructions were given in a tone of hnalfty which the speaker was far from feeling and she glanced cautiously over at her mother who was industriously basting up the seams which the little dressmaker gave her.
 But it did not pass unnoticed as Marie had hoped, for her mother look ing over her spectacles at her in shocked disapproval said:
 You won't have no call to leave none of the seams open, Miss Perm, for guess we'll manage to find goods enough to make dress she can walk in without any sits. If ain't ashamed of you, Marie Sparkes; you aint got such a handsome fgger that you need want to go around showin' it."
 Marie's cheeks were crimson Well, don't care. she stormed. T don't see why can't have my clothes made ! like other girls. I never have anything right; even when I get a new dress it's made so old-fashioned that no one knows it's new"
 Her mother looked at her pretty will fui daughter with troubled eyes. She knew Marle's love of finery, and the present exaggerated style of dressing seemed to the good woman to be the works of the devil himself
 of it wasn't for the wilful waste of good material I'd have one of them dresses made for you and make you wear it." she said severely, "and see how soon you'd come to your senses then.''
 ..Oh, do ma, please, let me have just one dress made in style and I won't say another word" The tone was very pleading. and the bright eyes were full of tears.
 Well" agreed her mother reluctant ly. q guess you need the lesson, and it'll be worth it if it gives you some sense about your clothes. Now go ahead and tell Miss Perm what you want. and mind you. young woman, you'll wear it to the party whether you want to or not
 "Oh. ma. you're the best ever,' and giving her mother a. rapturous kiss she flew for the fashion books to ex- plain just what she wanted.
 The night of the party arrived :; Marie's dress had not been discussed at all except with the dressmaker, but mas lips were compressed lnto a thin straight line many times at this exhibition of Marie's weakness.
 Marie went upstairs 70 dress ana her pretty hair was curled and fuffed and drawn down over her ears hiding them completely.
 The dress. a thin, f1impsy bit or white voile was drawn down close to her heels, with deep slit in the front showing rose colored petticoat Several Hounces over her hips em- phasized the narrowness of her skirt while very wide sash of gayly color co ribbon encircled her waist.

ally it was necessary to send out a squadron to capture him. He had been operating with excellent success in the
 Indian ocean, but he was given warn; ing of the coming of his captors and he eluded them and sailed for the American coast
 Fearing to enter New York harb )r, Kidd touched at Oyster Bay. l.. l., and sent for a New York lawyer and re- quested him to see Lord Bellomont BelIomont sent word that the captain had nothing to fear. consequently he went on to Boston, arriving on July
 l. 1899.
 It began to be humored that Living
 ston. Bellomont and the company they represented were themselves imphcat
 ed in the gathering of the spells, and
 they became thoroughly frightened.
 Belmont reported to the English tpe whereabouts of Kidd and he was ord-
 cred to arrest him and send him back to England.
 | When Capt. Kidd reached England
 he was thrown into jail. There had
 been a great excitement over the affair, and it was even insinuated that the
 king profited by Kidd's nefarfous bus mess, For year was placed on trial. At the trial denied that he had
 ever consented to be a pirate. but
 claimed that his crew had bullied him
 into it. He could not be convicted of
 piracy, even by a 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 a bucket.
 At the trial it is said that Kidd
 bore himself with dignity, making no complaint of Beilomont'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 evil
 dence he had in his behalfs The
 jewels and gold dust which he had sent to the countess of Bellomont were
 considered bribe, and Bellomont, suf-
 fering from gout. wrecked his ven-
 had failed to bring him the plumber expected.
 To the last Capt. Kidd protested
 his innocence of piratical intent when he undertook the mission, and to the
 judge who condemned him, he said: My lord 1t is a very hard sentence. For my part I am the most innocent person of them all"
 Capt. Kidd was hanged at Execution dock, London. with nine of his ere ". on May 24. 170I There were prese 1t deputy marshall. 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, dashing pirate Their seorn was turned to pity. for down the gray stone steps came an old sea captain. tired and worn. to meet his doom. l

PANAMA CANAL TO OPEN FOR
 TRAFFIC.

Col. Goethals has given notice through the secretary. of war that the Panama canal will open for business two weeks from Saturday, Aug. Is, for all vessels that do not draw over 30 feet of water, which shows this interocean canal is five feet shaIIower than the Cape Cod canal, just com pieted, and which will be of such ad- vantage to coastwise traffic bound for Boston and the northern New England coast.
 The Panama canal is doubtless open- ed for business four and one-half months before it is celebrated by the nations to get 1t into practical work ing order and to test the locks-in fact, to familiarize all engaged in operating it with their duties before the great marine parade and festival takes place.
 This will shorten the voyage from the Philippines and the Indies by about 1000 miles, and should prove of ad- vantage to trade because of the les- sened cost of freights.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS

Mrs Robert Louis Stevenson, wno has recently died in Montecito, Cal. wrote in a preface to David Balfour, 7 one of her husbands books:
 Never was novel written in more distressing circumstances. With the 1Samoanl natives on the verge of war, and amid the most kaleidoscope polit- ical changes, uncertain as to what mo- ment this personal liberty might De restrained, his every action mlscon- strued and resented by the white in habitants of the island, the excitement and fatigue of nay husbands daily life might have seemed enough for any one man to endure without the addl- tional strain of literarNr~ork; but he found time besides for the study Of harmony and counterpoint.
 Fix that picture in your fancy, of thls mar, amid all the wash and turmoil of circumstance, finding a refuge in his mind withdrawing into himself as into walled citadel of peace. with his be- loved vocation and ayocation.
 It's an ugly world sometimes and distressing. Have you any place where you can escape it?
 Blessed is the man who has re- sources of contentment
 Thrice blessed when those resources are within himself and depend not on men and things!
 There are those whose natures are so lean and poor that if some certain thing happens they are done for. They are like turtle on it's back and can only kick and gesticulate in helpless ness.
 The advantage of culture is not only greater efficiency and better pay nor that silly pride in excellence, but It lies in the possession of a hundred by ways of escape from what would crush another.
 The well equipped mind is never at arTTl- 4 it
 Let loss of money, of place or of reputation come. or illness, or shame, or betrayal, or any messenger of the enemy, they cannot find him.
 I know one man who studies the Persian language, another who roams the myriad ways of pf1ilology, another who Is devoted entomologist, another who is impassioned of the curiosities of mathematics, another who is an ex- pert at chess problems, and a woman of 50 who still pursues her studies of Bach and old Italian music.
 These various intellectual passions are cities of refuge. The blows of tragedy and the slow smotheration of the commonplace cannot catch the ninble mind that always has its se- cret panel door and underground pas sage.
 It was that same Stevenson who made the wondrous couplet: The world is so full of a number of
 things,
 I'm sure we should all be as happy as
 kings

WHY ARE EGGS so nlcHY

Eggs are unusually dear for the time of year and the wonder is, what makes hen fruit take such an early start upward
 This is the egg-nog season. but it is not likely that an increased con sumption has so much to do with it as decreasing production. The hens are not to blame, for they do nobly and have no way to defer the moult- ing season, which has already dawned.
 The demand for eggs was never greater and it has been some time since the July supply was equal to the de- nnand.
 Eggs are not likely to go much higher soon, for housekeepers resort to the water glass reserve when the price gets little more than 30 cents a dozen.
 It is too early to expect the cold storage egg to get move on for that Is not due until the frost is on the pumpkin.
 The hen men are welf pleased with he price of eggs and broilers and al- though eggs may go to 60 cents a fozen before Thanksgiving they must nay trust prices for feed and do not rrpke a large surplus even at present high prices.

WILL TAKE No UNNECESSARY

The trolIeymen Of St. Louis have Organized themselves into safety first" body of men. which means they are united in their determination to always guard their lives, which must include the lives also of the travel lers on their cars.
 Safety first'' is good slogan for men in the service of public service fcarriers everywhere and an inspirer of .fconf1dence among the people. It speaks loud for the watchfulness of the troll leymen and 1t weighs heavily for their efficiency. If they unitedly decline to take any risks it is apparent the chances for accidents have been de- creased to the least possible number. The safety appliance is a good thing. but the safety first' enploye is what makes the safety appliances depend able. It is not the instrument but the fman behind it that counts for veal or woe.
 The recent accident at Westport might have been averted by safety first' men. They are the right kind of men because their first principle is self preservation and this carries with it an assurance in effect upon the property of the company and it's lia- DlitieS aS well as TOT aii WnO lrdVei with them.
 These safety first" men would not have to cry very loud for fair treat ment at the hands of any. road to have public sentiment with them

 Please state on the blank below the lowest rate of pay you. would ac- cept in the event of your being cer- tified for employment in the future etc.
 The electrical workers naturally pro- test against this method of exploiting the idle in the interests of economy. There is no record anywhere that the republicans ever attempted to set idle craftsmen to bidding against one another in order to get work done below standard prices.
 It was popular for the democrats to loudly condemn billion dollar con gress, but TOW this two billion dollar democratic combination opens up an economy which is intended to do the unfortunate man who is out of a job This is the workingman's party. but under such circumstances it ought to Pbe difficult for him to cheer it with much enthusiasm.
