MAGAZINES.
The New England Magazine recently
published an article by Rev. Charles F.
Dole, entitled "What Shall We do with the
Millionaires?” In the February number of
the magazine there are two Important ar
ticles which are in tho line of au answer to
that question. One, entitled “A Model New
England Village,” is on St. Johus
bury, Vt., showing how the munifioence
of the Fairbanks family has fur
nished that beautiful town with an art
gallery, public library, academy, natural
history museum, and other things which
make a rich intellectual life possible
among the country hills. The other article
is by Mr. Ashton R. Willard, on the “Rindge
Gifts to Cambridge,” describing the mag -
nifioent new city hall, public library, and
manual training school,which in Cambridge
bear witness to the generosity of another
millionaire. These articles are both richly
illustrated. The opening article of the
magazine is on “Old Masters of Boston.”

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. FEBRUARY 9,1891.
OLD TIME CniNA PIRATES
A THRILLING STORY FROM THB
CHINA SEAS.
The Steamship N&moa Captured by
Yellow Desperadoes —Her Captain
and Two Other Persons Shot to
Death and Several Wounded—The
Pirates’ Junks Carry Away $20,000
Worth of Booty.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Hong Kong was startled on the morning
of Dec. 12, 1800, by the return of the Doug
las steamer Samoa, which had left the
previous day, with the story that she had
been attacked by pirates, that her master,
one of the best known and most respected cap
tains in the east, a passenger aud one of her
quartermasters had been shot in cold blood,
several of the officers and crew wounded,
and all money and valuables removed from
the ship. An examination of the circum
stances connected with this terrible occur
rence shows It to be one of the most de
liberately planned and effectively carried
out acts of piracy that have been known
for many years in the China seas.
The news of tbe tragedy has struck with
the more force, inasmuch as the attacks of
pirates on European ships, and especially
attacks of such a bloodthirsty character and
attended with such dire results, havo come
to be looked upon as things of the past.
That this was so was startlingly evidenced
shortly before the affair took place. A pas
senger, seeing the stand of arms at the top
of tbe companion, made some remark about
it to the captain, who replied with a smile:
"They arc a relic of the past; years ago we
used to want them, but we don’t ever re
quire them now.” So be thought. Within
an hour of speaking those words the un
loosed for had happened, and he was lying
murdered in his cabin.
The Namoa left Hong Kong, bound for
the coast ports, at 8 o’clock on the 10th,
with a general oargo, and having on board
about 250 Chinese passengers and five Eu
ropean parsengers. The names of the Eu
ropean passengers were Capt. Saunders, E.
K. Chandler, Peterson, C. F. Meuta,
and the Rev. G. M. Wales. Among the
Chinese passengers were a number of Chi
namen returning from the Straits and Cali
fornia with the savings of many years.
From what has been learned since it ap
pears that this fact must have become
known to a gang of desperadoes, who made
their arrangements accordingly.
This band, which, it is estimated, num
bered between fifty and sixty, went on
board with the other passengers without
arousing the slightest suspicion. About 1
o’clock, while the passengers were at tiffin,
at a given signal the band of pirates rushed
on deck, and, dividing themselves lntojfour
parties, covered the officers’ and engineers’
quarters in the fore part of the ship, the
engine room, the bridge, and the saloon, re
spectively. The pirates were all armed
with revolvers and cutlasses, and appeared
to be acting under the orders of a leader,
who is described as being a tall man, above
the average Chinaman, and better dressed
than the remainder of the baud.
Although the attack ou the four ports of
the ship just named appears to have been
oarriad out almost simultaneously, the at
tack on the officers’ and engineers’ quarters
seemed to have commenced a little in ad
vance of the others. Here the second en
gineer and tbe second officer were at tiffin.
Fire was immediatiy opened on them from
the skylight, and stink pots were thrown
into the mess room. One of the
shots struck the seoon 1 engineer, Mr.
Ramsay, in the arm, and, rushing out of the
mess room he took refuge in the engine
room. The second offioer, who keeps the
key of the treasure room, was then taken
prisoner by the pirates, who seemed
throughout to have had a most thorough
acquaintance with the regulations and rou
tine of the vessel. Having secured their
man the pirates marched him tinder guard
to tbe treasure room, whioh. being opened,
they found, much to their chagrin, to be
completely emptv, a somewhat un
usual occurrence on these steamers,
and one which doubtless, tbe pirates were
unprepared to find.
While this search was being carried on
the other attacks were progressing in the
various parts of the ship. One of the pas
sengers, Mr. Peterson, who was apparently
somewhat unwell, had not gone down to
tiffin in the saloon with the other passen
gers, but was taking his tiffin on deck.
Ttiistrivial ciroumstance doubtless cost him
his life. Fearing, probably, that he, seeing
all that was going on, might raise an alarm
and thus frustrate their diabolical inten
tions, the pirates, without a word of parley,
fired on the unfortunate man, who fell
almost instantly dead with four bullets in
his body. The pirates then fired shots into
the saloon, carrying, as can be easily im
agined, the greatest consternation among
tbe assembled passengers by this unex
cected attack. The leader, who spoke
“pidgeon” English, then called out Capt
Pocock, telling him that it was the inten
tion of the band Jo rob all the passengers on
board, and asking him to come aft.
Capt Pocock, after some parley, left the
table, and walked toward the door of the
saloon. He had hardly reached the deck
when one of the pirates, who was standing
at tbe door, dehlieratoly fired at him, the
bullet taking effect in tbe right breast.
Capt Pocock did not fall at once, but man
aged to stagger into his stateroom, and
sank dying on the bed, b'ood flowing pro
fusely from his fatal wound. He expired
there about half an hour afterward.
Meanwhile the pirates were pursuing
their fiendish work. The stdoon passen
gers had rushed from the tiffin table ana
concealed themselves in their rooms, into
which shots were fired and stinkpots
thrown. The second mate, surrounded
by a party of pirates with revolvers and
drawn cutlasses, wi> compelled to go into
the saloon and tell the passengers to come
out of their roams and go into the captain’s
stateroom and stay there it they did not
want to be killed. The passengers there
upon came out of their rooms aud went
into the stateroom, where Capt. Pocock lay
dying. Here they were lacked in, and a
watoh of four men put over them.
The chief engineer, who was at tiffin in
his own room, ran aft to the saloon, several
shots being fired at him on the way. He
got into the captain’s stateroom and was
kept a prisoner there with the others. Tbe
chief officer had hid himself in the pantry,
where Shots were fired at hiih and stink
pots thrown ip. It being impossible to stay
there he came out and was Imprisoned in
the captain’s stateroom. The second and
third engineers and third officer were still
concealed in the engine room. The pirates
took the second engineer there and ordered
him to tell the concealed men that if they
came out no harm would be done to them.
They then came out and wars imprisoned in
the captain's stateroom.
Ali the officers, engineers and European
passengers having been put in this place,
tbe door was nailed up and the windows
closed, and tbe guard of four pirates con
tinued to keep watch over the place, occa
sionally intimidating the prisoners by
thrnsting their cutlasses and the muzzles of
their revolvers in through the openings of
the jalousies.
At 7:30 p. m. the ship had been brought
back to the place where the attack com
menced, where six junks were waiting.
The ship’s lights were all extinguished and
the whistle was blown as a signal to the
junks, the crews of which responded by
throwing blue lights on the water. The
steamer was then anchored and the work of
transferring the loot to tbe junks was com
menced. When this had been accom
plished, with the assistance of tbe Namoa’s
native crew, the pirates regaled themselves
with a feast on fleck, and then mads pre
parations for taking leave of the vessel.
The ship’s side lights were .thrown over
board, the firemen were ordered to draw
the fire and open the safety valve so as to
blow off the steam, the windlass was dis
abled, and generally everything done that
could be thought of to delay the ship from
getting away. Before leaving the pirates
threw a bag containing about S2OO into tbe
engine room as a cumshaw to the firemen, j
They quitted the ship about 9 o’clock, and |
a quarter of an hour afterward the officer*,
engineers and passengers broke out of their
sliding prison, where the dead body of
Capt. Pocock lay. The ship was then got in
readiness as quickly as possible for ret urn
iig to Hong tv mg, where she arrived at 8
o clock ou the morning of the 12th. The
wounded were at once removed to the hos
pital.
The pirates did not take any of the cargo,
although there were forty chests of opium
on board, their desire evidently being cot to
carry away auything by which they could
be traced. Tbe value of tee plunder is said
to be about $20,000. After quitting tbe
ship tbe pirates landed on a small island,
alongside which the ship was hove to, and
where, after being liberated, a large bonfire
was built on tbe shore.
Her majesty’s ship Linnet left on the fol
lowing morning for the scone of the attack,
but It is feared that there is small chance of
bringing any of the miscreants to justice.
Those who saw the junks are (tositive that
they were Hong Kong junks, aud it is gen
erally believed that the pirates were Hong
Koug men. In tbe case of two at least this
appears to be a oertainty, as one of the en
gineers, on being shown at the police station
a book containing photos of old jail birds,
recognized among them the portraits of two
men who hod taken part in the attack.
"O, BHB IS A MAN’S WOMAN."
What Do Our Bistera Mean When
They Use This Phrase?
from Lippincott's Magazine.
We ofter hear the expression, a "man’s
woman.” Let it be noted that the words
are usually utterod by one of the gentle sex,
and prefaced by an ejaculation savoring
slightly of disapproval, an "OI” accom
panied by a meaning smile, a slight eleva
tion of the eyebrows, a shrug of the shoul
ders.
“O, yes,” they say, with one or more of
these mystic signals; "O, yes, she is a man’s
woman.”
Now, do they mean by this to impute or
to excuso vagary i And what is a man’s
woman? Most of us understand pretty ac
curately what is intended by this epithet,
yet it is hard to define, and the direct ques
tion is a baffling one.
Most women are, have been, or intend to
become, tbs possession of some especial man,
yet it may be certified that the greater num
ber of them are not, never were arid never
will be "men’s women.” How. thee, are we
to distinguish this subtle difference which so
clearly marks out certain worneu among
tbeir sisters?
First of all, let us succinctly and defi
nitely explain that a “ man’s woman” is a
short-hand phrase. It means to express
tersely what it would take too long to state
in detail. A "man’s woman” is one whoso
society is sought with avidity by the oppo
site sex. whose most ardent champions are
men, at whose bidding men are prompt to
respond, and in whose companionship men
seem to find peculiar happiness. She is
one who "makes conquests,” and who is
ever winning lovers.
With closed doors, and in low whispers,
aud women, who are not “meeTfl women,”
ask each other, what is it? What is this in
ward grace of which tbe outward evidences
are so marked —this atmosphere which en
virons some women and gives them such in
contestable power? Women who cannot
see it, or women who are blind aud will
not, ask each other, "What is it.”
A man’s woman may be beautiful, clevqr,
accomplished; she may have in addition the
luxurious surroundings, the indolent ease,
which in these sybaritic days seem neces
sary adjuncts to a woman's attractiveness
and gracefully frame the picture. Yet these
things are not necessary to a man's woman.
It is quite possible that she may possess
none ot them.
Perhaps of them all tho gift of a trans
oeudent beauty is tbe one with whioh she
can tho most' easily dispense. The man’s
woman is seldom really plain (although
such cases have existed), Dut she is oftenest
not beautiful. None the less she cast such
a glamour over her admirers—“throws dust
in their eyes,” as her detractors say—that
men will sometimes insist of such a one that
she is beautiful; and this in the very face
of all the art schools and all the canons of
correct proportion.
As to her cleverness, while she generally
displays her subtlety of thought, the quick
adaptiveness, the fine discernment, which
betray knowledge of the human heart, she
may be more or less lazy intellectually; her
learning may be superficial and her accom
plishments few. I say they may be; because
if she possetses wit. culture aad talent, these
are undoubtedly an added charm, particu
larly if she employ them ia increasing her
personal attractions. But they aro not
necessary to the sway she exerts. In fact,
they are valueless if they walk not hand in
band with suppleness and tact. Men in
stinctively dislike “superior” women; and
maDy women who are beautiful, well edu
cated and elegant, have never received the
bliss-conferring brevet of fascination.
There must be, then, some force outside
of all other attributes, independent of them,
and as vague in its sources as it is ovident
aud powerful in its effect. The beauty of a
“man’s woman” may consist in a mysteri
ous smile, a trick of the hairupen tho brow,
a dainty slipper—nothing more; yet tho
magic perfume of her presence is enough.
Man feel that the more would bs too much.
Women who always give large credence to
tbe power of mere beauty will forever look
on and marvel. If it were only a certain
exterior configuration of form and color it
would be no wonder. But there is another,
a subtler charm, which lies deeper aud
eludes analysis. It mat ers little whether
her eyes be large or light or small or dark,
her feature-i classic or irregular, whether
her tongue be eloquent or she be given to
silence, If she hides within herself that
whioh attracts, enchants and retains.
The man’s woman is an individual, a per
sonality; she sometimes manifests admir
able traits of character. They are devel
oped possibly by those very forms of temp
tation aud of trial to which she will oe
peculiarly subjected. Her calumniators
can often find no harsher epithet of con
demnation for her than that which forms
our theme. She may be heartless, it is true;
she may even be cruel, cold, menu; but this
Is Uncommon and improbable. Iu fact, she
is rarely envious or malicious, and she bas
generally a large-mlndednoss which makes
her “easy to live with.” While she is not
deficient in the desire to please, she is often
no more energetically vain than others,
aha is eveq capable of resenting a measure
of the admiration which she inspires, and
for which other women toil with such
meager results.

Wherever the middleman makes his ap
pearance. the purchaser has to bear the
burden. He is like the taxes whlon the
tariff imposes—the cost falls on the con
sumer. When you buy from a place which
deals with the middleman, you pay so much
for tbe article you purchase and so much for
the support of the middleman. He is, like
all luxuries, expensive, and we have no use
for bis services. One of the reasons why we
can sell you clothiag so cheaply is that we
have virtually thrown him out of doors.
