SHIP WITHOUT COUNTRY
Pirate Goldsboro Arrives at Mo
bile From Honduras.
FLYING UNITED STATES FLAS
By Courtesy of Federal Government.
$200,000 Worth of Stolen Goods
Were Recovered.
Mobile, Ala. —Captain William Swa
ttidge of the steamer Goldsboro, that
arrived in port from Puerto Cortez,
in an interview with the Assoeiateu
t'ress representative here, said: “I
was sent out from New York city by
E. D. Boise, receiver for the estate of
the Export Shipping company of New
Jersey, to bring back the pirate ship
Goldsboro.
“I received all possible assistance
from the United States and British
consuls at Puerto Cortez and from the
natives in general, but had some little
trouble with the Honduran govern
ment in obtaining clearance papers.
I notified the state department at
Washington and Acting Secretary
Adee notified the American consul at
Puerto Cortez to give me clearance
papers as well as a permit to hoist
the American flag.”
The steamer is a Clyde liner of 461
tons, and is about twenty years old.
The federal government has agreed to
permit the Goldsboro's return on the
most favorable terms, waiving all port
charges, etc., on the assumption that
the stolen goods making up her cargo
have never left their rightful owners.
Even so, the costs of recovering the
merchandise are heavy, and of the
$150,000 or $200,000 involved it is said
to be hardly likely that the owners
will be able to get back more than
a quarter.
Aside from the merchandise which
they had purloined, the Baileys had
with them about $50,000 in coin and
bank notes, including 3,000 English
sovereigns. The price paid for the
Goldsboro was $17,500.
Bailey secured at Puerto Cortez reg
istry for her and papers for himself
as a Honduran citizen. He further
obtained permission for the landing of
the steamer’s cargo on the ground that
the goods were the property of Hon
duran citizens, and he had already
purchased a banana plantation of 12,-
000 acres of which 5,000 acres were
under cultivation, paying $20,00U in
gold for the land. Then he sailed
for Ceiba and Tela, where a little la
ter the Goldsboro was overhauled by
the Tatumbia. She had begun to dis
charge her cargo, but it is said that
the whole cargo, with the exception
of 400 cases, about 30 tons, had been
recovered, and that those cases were
under guard and would be brought
north later.
The ship without country and flying
the flag of the United States by per
mission, is in a bedraggled condition.
The vessel needs general overhauling,
all the paint being off and the decks
in bad condition.
t H£il KILLED AND 20 INJURED.
By the Explosion of a Boiler in a
Rolling Mill.
York, Pa—Eight men were killed,
nearly a score more or less seriously
injured and thousand of dollars’ worth
of ipro-perty damaged by the explosion
of a boiler in the York rolling mill.
The dead are;
John Clency, York; Benjamin Bre
mer, Harry fceachrist, Paoli Puci, Al
fred Struck, John Slossman and Har
ry Feger, all of Columbia, Pa.; Ed
ward Eiger, Marietta, Pa.
The boiler, which was located in
the center of the mill, exploded with
out a moment’s warning.
The mill had been closed down for
about a week and two score of men
were engaged in making repairs to an
engine. The men were working close
to the boiler and when the explosion
occurred not one of them was able
to make his escape.
The shock was so terrific that it
demolished a large portion of the mill
and sent heavy pieces of twisted iron
and metal in all directions.

The city of Washington is well ad
ministered, continuel Professor Dicey,
because it was not democratically gov
erned. It is governed by commission
ers appointed by congress, a body not
nearly so democratic as the crown of
England. Professor Dicey expressed
admiration for the supreme court,
which he said was “one of the most
successful institutions,” but he doubt
ed whether the balance of power ex
isting in the United States could ex
ist in any European country.
Guyot, the French political econo
mist and former minister of public
works, thought the constitution of
America has many advantages for a
democratic country, and, though pos
sibly too rigid, on the other hand, it
prevented wild enterprises.
CALL IS ISSUED TO CMMINALS.
Convention of Lawbreakers is Plan

New York City.—Police headquar
ters has heard that Dr. Ben Reilman
of Chicago, who calls himself "King
of Tramps,’’ and who has spent the
last twenty years doing rescue work
among the inhabitants of the under
world, has issued a call for a "con
vention of criminals’’ to meet in this
city. To that part of Dr. Reilman’s
program which is directed toward the
obtaining of safe conduct and immu
city from arrest of the delegates
while they are in the city, Inspector
McCafferty in charge of the detective
bureau made strong objection.
“I’ll order the arrest of every crim
inal who arrives for the convention,”
said Inspector McCafferty, "and I am
not yet sure that I won’t arrest those
persons who are getting up the affair.
We want no assembly of criminals in
this city.”
Dr. Reilman says: "It was suggest
ed that all of the criminals will agree
to no criminal act while they are in
the city.” „
According to the prospectus of the
convention criminals from all parts of
the country are to meet here to dis
cuss their relations to society, to the
police and to one another.

Water, looked upon as the tamest of

It is hoped in this way to avoid the

inhabitants of a well known region
of the canton of Bern, Switzerland, a
district famous throughout the Alps
for its large breed of cattle and its
brand of milk, are spoken of as “cof
fee-faced and flat-chested." At the
last military draft 18 young mountain
eers were called up, and of these all
but four were rejected.
This result is said to be not uncom
mon in these Swiss valleys, where
cattle and milk arc the main sources
of income. The peasant feeds himself
too much on the milk and grudges
himself the meat.
To prevent damage to underground
pipes by electrolysis an insulating
material for the pipes themselves has
been placed on the market. It Is a
covering of a specially prepared as
bestos paper in laminated form, thor
oughly impregnated and coated with
a waterproof insulating compound. It
acts as an insulating medium between
the pipe and the ground, and, being
made of Indestructible materials, is
permanently durable. The covering is
from one-quarter to three-eights of an
inch thick and is made in three-foot
sections to fit various sizes of pipes. All
joints are sealed by strips and insula
ting cement which are furnished with
the covering. For sleeve couplings,
special sleeves are provided.
Shields for the Soldier.
Recent experiments at Sheffield,
England, suggest the possibility that
in this cenutry shields may once more
form an important pa>-t of the equip
ment of an army. Steel shields, three
millimetres in thickness and about 150
square inches in area, have been de
vised, which afford complete protec
tion against bullets fired from the
service rifle at a range of 400 yards.
The small size of the shield, which
weighs only seven pounds, requires
that the soldier shall lie prone on the
ground in order to be sheltered. Each
shield has a loophole for the rifle and
studs at the sides, so that a series of
them can be linked into a continuous
screen. The idea is that by the use of
such shields the necessity of digging
trenches may be avoided. —Harper’s
Weekly.
Thomas Paine.
The service that Paine rendered the
cause of liberty has never been recog
nized at anything like Us full value.
His pamphlets, "Common Sense,” and
"The Crisis,” wrought powerfully for
the Revolutionary cause, and while no
one can measure up along with Wash
ington in tnose “days that tried men’s
souls,” the good that Paine did was
immense. In the darkest time of our
struggle, when hope and courage were
at the low-water mark, the publication
of his “Crisis” put new life into the
situation and lent Washington’s sword
a power it might not otherwise have
shown. —The American.

Advanced Thought.
Tie cannot justly be charged with
lllibs-rality who "adheres to that
which is good" until a better is pro
vided. A starving man who casts
away a loaf of bread because he im
agines a ten-course dinner ahead
even an agnostic would account a
fool. Why give up our Christian
faith, which baa proved so good, so
long as only the vague and ghostly
chimera of “advanced thought" is
proposed to take its place? Some
of us know that faith in Christ is a
very real and precious and joyous
possession, a comfort in sorrow, a
help in trouble, a spur to higher
living, a souree of assured hope for
the life beyond; what has science, or
human philosophy, or any of the
thousand and one vagaries of “free
thought" to offer in its stead? A
joyless life, a rayless future, a
quenched soul —Nirvana! —The Ex
