PETRIFIED PIRATE
IS FOUND.
Extraordinary Discovery in the
Sands of an
ISLAND ON THE GULF COAST
Near Corpus Christi, Texas, Petri
fled Man Unearthed-Legend
of His Death.
What is unhesitatingly pronoun
ced by Corpus Christi physicians
a genuinely petnhed mail was un
earthed a few days ago on the
norchern' end of Padre island,
twenty- three miles from Corpus
Christi, says a late special from
Corpus Christi, Texas. Padre is
land is a vast strip of sand, lying
off the southeastern coast of Texas.
It is 125 miles long and about
three miles wide. Its northern
coast is directly across the bay
from Corpus Christi. There is a
legend to the effect that during the
latter part of the eighteenth cen
tury a Spanish pirate cralt was
wrecked near the island; that a
vast quantity of gold was brought
ashore. The crew quarreled among
themselves over its distribution
and a fierce fight ensued, in which
a number were killed. The sur
vivors buried the treasuie. Large
piles of human bones that for
years have remained bleaching in
the sun at the mouth of the Blind
Oso (a small salt water channel)
aie pointed out as evidence of the
battle. From time to time many
treasure hunters have delved in
the sands of Padre island in search
of the supposedly buried gold. Be
yond the finding of a few Spanish
coins of small value these searches
have been fruitless.
But past failures did not dis
courage Frank Long, Peter Ge
nenetnte and Charles Mavis, all of
Corpus Christi. A few days ago
they left this city for Padre to res
ume the search for the treasure.
They found no buried treasure,but
discovered something far more
valuable to science. They were
supplied with a divining rod, and
while probing in the sand struck a
hard object. Hastily throwing
aside the sand they were astound
ed as they beheld the form of a
man literally turned to stone. The
body is that of a man apparently
50 years old and 5 feet 7 inches
tall. The eyes are gone, but every
other feature, including mustache
and eyebrows, is plainly visible.
111 the left side of the head there
is a large gash and two wounds on
the legs, giving unmistakable
evidence that the man was either
murdered or died in a fight. That
he was decently buried by friends
is evident from the restful posi
tion in which the arms are folded
across the breast.
Near by the remains were found
several silver buttons and the
blade of a knife of antique design.
There were no signs of a coffin,box
or shroud. While excavating, the
right ear of the stone man was
knocked off. This curious find
was placed in a small sailboat and
brought to Corpus Christi, wherT
it has been viewed by hundreds.
When first announced that a
petrified body had been found,the
more intelligent were naturally
skeptical, but alter seeing the cu
riosity, nearly all unhesitatingly
pronounced the remains those of a
human body. The lines on the
forehead and fingers are plainly
discernible and are natural. The
hands, legs, feet and entire trunk
are.perfect. The finger nails and
toe nails are perfectly pictured in
the stone. The entire body is cov
ered with splotches of clay, as
shown in the photograph. When
told that scientific men had asser
ted that it was impossible for a hu
man body to petrify, Chas. Mavis,
one of the party who made the
find, remarked: “Well, I don’t
know’ anything about that. But
here is a man that has turned to
stone, and I defy any scientific
man in the world, alter a careful
examination, to assert the remains
are not those of a human.
“Yes, I have heard about the
Cardiff giant, but that has nothing
to do with this case. We will all
gladly welcome an investigation
from the Smithsonian institution
or any other body of scientists.
Among the physicians who ave
viewed the body are Drs. A,rtbur
E. Spohn, G. A Seel and W
Gregory, of this city. After a
most rigid examination thev unan
imously pronounce the petrifaction
a changed human body. So do
Edwin FT Furman, of th ustom
house service; John B. Har vieke,
editor of the Texas Sun, an scores
>f other hard headed, 1 ictical
men. Dr Spohn, who has state
wide reputation as a stir. n and
specialist, remarked:
“When I first learned of the dis
covery of this petrified man I gave
little serious consideration to the
matter, as I recalled the Cardiff
[ giant hoax. When I finally de
cided to examine the body, I made
up my mind to take no chances. I
have applied every scientific test
within my knowledge, and unhes
itatingly pronounce the remains
before me those of a petrified hu
man body. I further state, as my
positive opinion, that this is the
, only instance of the discovery of
a human body that has actually
j turned to stone. This find will
jeventually prove of much scienti
fic value. Those wise men who
have often asserted that the liquid
in a human body would prevent
k petrifaction will now have to re
vise their theo y. This is an age
of new discoveries. What is today
regarded as an incontrovertible
fact is liable to be disproven to
morrow. The idea that the figure
before me was molded or artificial
ly produced in any manner is all
nonsense. No artist ever lived
who could produce so perfect a rep
resentation of a human hand as
that | pointing to • the remains], to
say nothing of other features. A
sculptor who could so masterly
imitate a human form would never
be engaged in trying to hoax the
public.”
Estimating from its size, in life
the body must have weighed not
exceeding 140 pounds. Its actual
weight now is 298 pounds. Ever
since it was brought to this city it
has been on exhibition, not in a
glass case, but lying in a store
room on a table, where all who
wished might make as searching
an examination as desired. Even
the few skeptics are now puzzled
and have little to say. •
The identity of the petrified man
will Drobably never be known.
That he had been burie i many
years ago is evident. Some think
that the remains are those of one
of the crew of the Spanish pirate
craft said to have been killed many
years ago. But this is all conjec
ture. Padre island is one of the
most lonely and desolate spots on
earth. With its vast shimmering
sand heaps, it is not calculated to
induce many settlers to rest there,
Not more than a dozen inhabitants
aoe there and not one of these re
members of a man ever having
been buried in the vicinity where
the petrified man was unearthed.
At times during severe storms the
waves of the gulf of Mexico wash
entirely aerbss the island, depos
iting vast quantities of salt. Some
of the local physicians assert that
the presence of the salt in the
sand probably aided the process of
petrifaction. Whether this be true
or not, the undisputable fact re
mains that the discovery has con
vinced many of the most skeptical
that it is possible for the human
body to petrify and the few remain
ing skeptics admit they are puz
zled. The most rigid scrutiny of
the scientific world is invited.
John B. Hardwicke.
To put the Eirake on the wagon
going down the hill is a helplo the
horse, when the wagon is heavily
loaded. But what driver would
think of applyiug the brake to a
loaded wagon going up hill? If he
did, his sensible horse would pro
bably balk. Many a man is in the
condition of pulling a load up hill
with the brake set against him.
When his stomach is out of order,
and the allied organs of digestion
and nutrition impaired in their
functions, a friction is set up which
has to be overcome in addition to
the performance of daily duties.
A foul stomach makes a foggy
brain, and the man with a disor
dered stomach has often to grope
his way through the day’s business
like a man in a fog, He forgets
appointments. Problems seem pre
sented to his mind “wrong end to.”
This condition is entirely remedied
by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. It puts the
stomach and digestive and nutrit
ive system into a condition of per
fect health, and gives a clear brain,
a steady hand and a light step for
the day’s duties. When constipat
ion clogs the channels of the body,
Df. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets will
work an effectual cure of that dis
astrous disease.
IT DAZZLES THE WORLD.
No Discovery in medicine has

The Birmingham and Charleston
Extension-
GIVES DIRECT LiNE EAST-
Seaboard Completes Financial Ar
rangements for Building Line
—lmprovements Needed
V j?
The financial arrangements ne
cessary for the extension of the
vSeaboard Air Line Railway from
Atlanta to Birmingham aie made,
says the last issue of tlje Manu
facturer’s Record. A syndicate
has been formed to underwrite an
Issue of $5,300,000 of 4 per cent,
bonds, which will be a first mort
gage on the Birmingham extension
and a direct lien on the Seaboard
Air Line. The membership of the
syndicate inc'udes Ladenburg,
Thalman & Cos., Vermilye & Cos.,
F. R. Pemberton and others of New
York; the Baltimore Trust & Guar
antee Cos. J. Wm. Middendorf &
Cos. and others of Baltimore, be
sides John L. Williams & Sons of
Richmond.
A report prepared by Vice-Pres?
ident Barr of the Seaboard regard
ing the prospect of the Birming
ham extension expresses the opin
ion that the extension will, in addi
tion to paying its fixed charges,
yield to the Seaboard Air Line a
net revenue of more than $200,000
a year. The amount of new con
struction required to utilize the
East & West railroad in this ex
tension will be between sixty-five
and seventy miles. The East &
West will, however, have to be
improved in order to handle heavy
traffic.
Attention is also being directed
towards the building of the pro
posed Chattanooga, Charleston &
Augusta railroad, which is to
branch off from the Seaboard at
Athens, Ga., and go by way of Au
gusta to Charleston, S. C. These
two pieces of proposed construct
ion will, when completed, give the
Seaboard a direct line from the
Birmingham district to tide-water
by way of Atlanta, Athens, Augus
ta and Charleston.
Life.
The poet's exclamation; “O Life! I
feel thee bounding in my veins,” is a
joyous one. - Persons that can rarely
or never make it, in honesty to them
staves, are among the most unfortun
ate. They do not live, but exist: for
to live implies more than to be. To
live is to be well and strong—to arise
feeling equal to the ordinary duties of
the day, and to retire not overcome
by them-to feel life bounding in the
veins. A medicine that has made
thousands of people, men and women,
well and strong, has accomplished a
great work, bestowing the richest
blessings, and that medicine is Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. The weak, run down,
debilitated, from any causes should
not fail to take it. It builds up the
whole system, changes existence into
life, and makes life more abounding.
We are glad to say these worlds in its
favor to the readers of our columns.

The Spur of Fate
BY ASHLEY TOWNE
This is a strong, clean story, full of fire and ac
tion. The heroine, a Circassian princess, is res
cued from her enemies by a rich young American
who falls desperately in love with her. She re
turns his love —returns it so much that she calls
him the “coldest blooded man she ever met.”
But she is a woman wfth a purpose. She leads
her country in a revolt against Russia, and in
following her fortunes with blind devotion and
reckless ardor the American becomes a magnifi
cent hero. Our readers will enjoy the story.

Attractive Women.
All women sensibly desire to be at
tractive. Beauty is the stamp of
health because it is the outward man
ifestation of inner purity. A healthy
woman is always attractive, bright
and happy. When every drop of
blood in the veins is pure a beauteous
hush is on the cheek. But, w hen the
blood is impure, moroseness, bad
temper and a sallow complexion tells
the tale of sickness, all too plainly.
And women today know there is no
beauty without health. Wine of
Cardui crowns women with beauty
and attractiveness by making strong
and healthy those organs which make
her a woman. Try Wine of Cardui,
and in a month your friends will
hardly know you.
