TELL OF PIRATES
Sailors Rescued by Steamer
From Island.
Seaman Declare They Were Attacked
by Brigands When Storm Threat
ened to Send Vessel to Bot
tom—Search for Bandits.
New York. —When the steamer Al
lemania arrived in port recently a
thrilling story of shipwreck and attack
by pirates was told by thirteen sail
ors of the Italian Bark Genee, on
board the Allemania, and rescued by
the latter boat when in desperate
plight at Inagua, the Bahamas.
According to the story told by the
rescued sailors, the Genee set out
from Inagua on May 16, bound for
Marseilles, with a costly cargo of
hardwood, and when a short distance
out from port had encountered a se
vere storm which carried them out
of their course and threatened to send
them to the bottom.
After working the pumps for sev
eral days, the crew was on the point
of deserting the bark and taking to
the boats, when a number of small
sailboats came alongside, and the oc
cupants of these boats, numbering
more than 100, armed with guns and
revolvers, boarded the Genee and or
dered the crew to surrender. An at
tempt was made by the crew to scut
tle the Genee, and a fight ensued in
which the defenders were badly worst
ed. They were then ordered into the
small boats without water or provis
ions.
After rowing aimlessly for two days,
the crew of the Genee made land at
one of the smaller Bahamas and hoist
ed a signal of distress, which was
seen by the lookout on the steamer
Allemania, which rescued them, near
ly dead from exposure and hunger.
A British revenue cutter was dispatch
ed in pursuit of the pirates. No re
port of a capture had been received
by the Allemania up to the time of
leaving Inagu for New York city.
All of the njembers of the crew
Genee were on board the Allemania
when she arrived here except the
captain, Joseph Capello, and the first
mate, who remained at the Bahamas
to prosecute the search for the pi
rates. The United States government
will be asked to co-operate with the
British authorities in putting a stop
LOVE REVIVES AND THEY WED
Result of Virginian’s Return to His
Native Town After an Ab
sence of Forty Years.
Cape Charles, Va.—Mr. and Mrs.
Andrew Crothers, a bridal couple,
were passengers on board the New 1
York express train from here en route ]
to New York to spend their honey- i
moon. The bride is sixty-five years i
old and the bridegroom sixty-seven.
The couple were sweethearts dur- i
ing their youth In their native town, I
Adamston, Vt., and after a quarrel <
parted. This was forty years ago.
Following the quarrel Mr. Crothers
left Adamston for the west, became I
a mine prospector in Nevada and ac
cumulated a fortune.
Mrs. Crothers, who was then Miss
Lllliston, never heard from Mr. Croth- i
ers during the entire forty years. A
few weeks ago he visited his home
town and was surprised to hear that ;
his sweetheart of early days never :
had married. He called on her, pro
posed and they wedded.
Ducks Eat Bees.
Jersey Shore, Pa.—Mrs. W. P.
Sheesley of Jersey Shore rural route
No. 2 is a successful duck raiser. She
never permits her ducklings out of
their inclosure till the honey bees are;
thrbugh work for the day, and the
consequence is her ducks live to adult
age.
The new theory is that the duck
lings are such greedy eaters that
many are lost each year by swallow
ing honey bees, which retaliate by
stinging the ducklings department of
the Interior to the point where the
quacklet gives up the ghost.

I to the activity of the pirates in Ba
hama waters.
Some months ago the steamer
Prince Joachim, plying between the
West Indies and New York, went
aground at about the same point,
where the crew of the Genee was ship
wrecked, and was boarded by pirates,
who ransacked the ship for valuables
and robbed the pasengers.

NAIL HOLDS BOY FAST, HOUR
Rescuer Forced to Saw Off Foot of
Plank to Liberate
Victim.
Boston.—After lying helpless for an
hour and a half in an abandoned barn,
pinned to a board by a rusty tenpen
ny nail, which had pierced his hand,
eight-year-old James Gallagher of No.
130 East Eleanor street, Olney, was
discovered by a passing farmer, who
found it necessary to saw off a foot
of the plank to liberate him. The boy
was treated at the Frankford hospital,
where the surgeons had to use a saw
again and cut away the remaining
portion of the board before they
could remove the nail. The wound
was cauterized and a large quantity
of lockjaw antitoxin was Injected.
The lad had been amusing himself
by sliding down an inclined board in
an unused barn in Cedar Grove lane,
about a mile from his home. He had
made only one or two trips when his
hand suddenly struck the huge nail,
which had been driven through the
edge of the plank and bent over to
form a hook. The f6rce of his swift
descent caused the sharp point to
penetrate entirely across the palm.
Screaming with pain, he tried to
writhe free, but every movement only
increased his agony, and he was un
able to extricate himself. Literally
nailed to the plank, he lay for more
than an hour, until Joseph Wilson, a
farmer, of Second street pike, above
Fox Chase, heard his cries as he
passed in a wagon.
Wilson found the lad almost ex
hausted from pain. He endeavored to
free him, but found that his efforts
MAY PRODUCE HUMAN LIFE
Ultimate Possibility of It Is Suggested
by Professor Macallum,
the Scientist
London. —The time may come when
a human being can be constructed to
order in a chemical laboratory. So
it is hinted by Prof. A. B. Macallum,
fellow of the Royal society and a dis
tinguished member of the British As
sociation for the Advancement of Sci
ence. On his theory, an extra drop of
this, that or the other chemical solu
tion poured into the crucible may turn
out, at will, a Dante or a Nero, a Car
negie of a dunce.
“It was customary,” says Professor
Macallum, “to regard living matter as
unique, with a parallel in the inorganic
world and the secrets involved in its
aptions and activities as unsolvable
enigmas. There were those also who
put forth, as an explanation, for all
these manifestations, the intervention
in so-called living matter of a force
otherwise and elsewhere unknown, bi
otic or vital, whose action was direct
ed, according to the character of the
structure through which it operated,
to the production of the phenomena
in question. Living protoplasm was,
in this view, but a mark and a me
dium for action of the unknown force.”
He says the methods of the labora
tory are not as yet those of nature,
because nature works unerringly, un
falteringly, with an amazing economy
of material and energy, while present
laboratory syntheses are but round
about ways to the waste sink.
He believes, though, that science
has made a start in the right direc
tion and is approaching the discovery
of the function and composition of
living cells. “To that end,” he adds,
“a greatly developed study of micro
chemistry is necessary. This should
apply the stimulus to enthusiasm in
the search for reactions that will en
able us to locate with great precision
in the living cell the constituents, in
organic and organic, which affect Its
physical state and thereby influence
its activity.”
Phonograph Aided Burglars.
Minneapolis, Minn.—Strains of
music from a phonograph were taken
advantage of by burglars to cover the
noise made by their entrance into a
house. Loot valued at nearly SIOO
was taken from the home of P. H.
Ware while members of the family
were being entertained by the ma
chine.
only added to the victim's misery. He
finally walked half a mile and bor
rowed a saw with which he cut the
board across in two places, while the
boy, suffering intense agony, lay
' watching him.
Having finally freed the lad, Wilson
placed him, with a foot of plank still
fastened to his hand, in his wagon
1 and drove at top speed to the Friends’
' asylum, the nearest institution. Physi
; cians at that place, however, were un
able to give any aid to the sufferer,
; and it was necessary for the farmer
to drive with him to Frankford be
' fore he obtained relief from his pain.
CAT IS RAISING RABBITS

to tell how Lydia E.Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has helpedme. Forfive years
I suffered from female troubles so I was
scarcely able to do my work. I took doc
tors’ medicines and used locaj treatments
but was not helped. I had such awful
bearing down pains and my back was so
weak I could hardly walk and could not
ride. I often had to sit up nights to sleep
and my friends thought I could not live
long. At my request my husband got
me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg
etable Compound and I commenced to
take it By the time I had taken the
seventh bottle my health had returned
and I began doing my washing and was a
wellwoman. Atonetimeforthreeweeks
I did all the work for eighteen boarders
with no signs of my old trouble return
ing. Many have taken your medicine
after seeing what it did for me.' I would
not take SIOOO and be where I was. You
have my permission to use my name if
it will aid anyone.”—Mrs. Susie Tem
