RARE FIND REVIVES
PIRATE HOARD TALE
Discovery of Curious Pewter
Pot Stirs Traditions of
Plum Islanders
The "recent discovery by a surfman
at the Knobs live saving station on
Plum island of a curious pewter por
ringer of a bygone age has once again
given rise to the tradition so long cur
rent in Newburyport concerning a cache
of treasure somewhere in the sand
dunes of the island.
For the porringer find by Gardiner
Lettime is only one of many similar
discoveries of late, in which silver
buckles, gold coins of the early Span
ish regimes, strange household utensils
of silver, gold and pewter and valuable
jeweled ornaments have been brought !
io light, evidently through the action
of the waves along the shore, says the
New York Herald.
TIIEASIHE TROVE CACHE
Oddly enough — and this is a fact that '\u25a0
strangely coincides with the oft repeat- :
ed story of a great Captain Kidd
.treasure concealed liere — these iinds ;
have all been made within a short dis- j
tance of each other on the shore, and
near a high bluff, where it is impossible
to tell whether the different objects
have been washed up by the action of
the waves from the bottom of the sea
or whether they are gradually being ;
unearthed from a plate in the shore ]
• line which, o:i<e before the waves had [
eaten away the sand, stood much far- !
ther back and afforded a seemingly se- |
<jure cache for a treasure trove.
In fact, so frequent of late has been
i lie discovery of odd valuables of a
. date long gone that There is no little
interest .now evidenced among two
groups of life savers, those at the Plum
island and at the Knobs station, "con
cerning the mystery of these treasures.
Moreover, not a few secret excursions
have been made along the shore by na
tives with a view to locating some
'"huge" chest or iron bound box that
might hold millions in rubies, pearls
and stolen wealth plundered from off
the seas by some roving band of old
time marauders.
In fact, the growing frequency of
these discoveries on Plum island has
changed what originally only passed
as a rumor into a well credited tradi
tion relative to the reason' for these
finds.
TBADmOXS REVIVED
The story gtses, and, indeed, there
are those who assert that it is based
: »jpon fact handed down from the early
days of the. founding of Xewburyport,
. that one misty morning, when Plum
island sat apart from then then prim
itive village which is now Newbury
port and when only a few scattering
settlers occupied humble cabins in the
town, a huge, high decked galleon lit
erally swarming with swat faced men
put madls' in toward the shore and
suddenly came to anchor.
During the progress toward the
. beach, which was indeed a risky place
for such a huge vessel to approach,
there had been the continuous sound
of firearms aboard the vessel. Some
sort of a battle was in progress on the
decks, it appeared to the few settlers
who witnessed the advent of the
, strange vessel. In fact, so near to the
land did the vessel approach before
she cast anchor that those hidden in
1 the woods thought that she was going
to be run upon the beach. After the
anchor was dropped the fighting,
swearing and shouting continued
aboard the ship nearly all day, during
\u25a0which time scores of men were seen to
fall or be thrown into the sea. Finally
the commotion gradually ceased, and,
much to the amazement of those who
had watched as best they dared the
strange actior.s aboard the vessel, when
the fog lifted there appeared to be only
Ba.8 a. handful of men left alive* from the
entire company.
That night a settler who had re
mained on the island to watch the
vessel and notify the villagers If any
" - thing threatened from that direction,
Is said to have witnessed a strange
nocturnal . expedition from the ship's
. side to the shore of the Island — a trip
in . which three pirate boats brought
: ashore half a dozen great iron boxes
and chests.
When the boats returned to the yes
. sel's side after several hours' delay
asnore they appeared to be empty save
.• for the men who rowed them back,
; cursing as they did so.
UNCLE SAM GETS LABOR
SAVING DEVICES
New Machine Will Replace Help
in Treasury Department
One of the most ingenious labor sav
ing machines has just been perfected
by the treasury department at Wash
ington to assist in the making of Un
cle-Sam's money. One machine is now
In operation in the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing and is working so \u25a0
successfully that a contract has just :
been- let for the installation of 15 more,
says the Newark. X. J., News. The
new -device performs five operations
simultaneously with the aid of only
two employes, whereas the same work
now requires two separate machines
with five employes to each.
None of the notes issued by the Unit
ed States Is good money until it bears
a serial number and the big seal of the ;
treasury of the United States. Twenty
eight printing presses In the basement
of the treasury department are now
employed to Imprint these flnal eignst
upon the bills, which come in sheets
of four from the bureau of engraving
' and printing. There are now two men
or girls to each press, but the work is
necessarily slow because every sheet
must be fed with the utmost exactness
so that the seal and numeral will'ap
pear in the right place.
After this operation has been com
pleted the sheets are taken to another
machine, which cuts them so as to
make the four separate bills. Three
I employes are necessary to each of
these "separators," as they are called.
One feeds in the sheet, another takes
the separated bills as they fall out and
collects them in piles of 100. The third
counts them.
All of these operations will hereafter
be done on the new machine at one
lime. Its mechanism is so simple that
the operator can feed in the sheets as
though printing handbills. After 'the
printing the sheet is automatically
separated, mechanical fingers gather
four bills together and a register
counts them, and when a hundred have
been finished a bell rings. A second
employe then ties each 100 in a bun
dle. Experiments are being made still
further to improve the machine so that
*it will feed Itself and also tie up the
bundles of 100 as they are delivered.
When all the new machines are in
stalled it is expected that they will
save the government many thousands
of dollars in Salaries annually and at
the same time produce more rapid
'work.

MARY ASHE MILLER
GLUB elections are absorbing most
of the time and thought of the
women's organizations of the city
just now, and even when there is a
single aspirant for the presidential
office there are minor contests of suf
ficient heat to make matters for con
versation. Clubwomen of San Fran
cisco may boast, s I believe, and it is
not local pride that prompts me to
the assertion, of a cleaner brand of
politics than prevails in many parts
of the state. Slurs have been cast from
time to time upon the political aspect
of San Francisco, but among the women
less underhanded work, less animosity
and less downright bitterness are in
fused into the elections than elsewhere,
as far as 1 am able to judge after an
investigation of methods.

ROMAN ALTAR FOUND
NEAR MELROSE, ENGLAND
Specimen in Remarkably Per
fect State of Preservation
At the Roman, station at Newstead,
near Melrose, a very fine specimen of
a Roman altar' has been discovered,
bearing the following inscription:
"Deo Appolini L. Maximlvs Gaetvlicvs
leg." It is in a very perfect state of
preservation, and Is of red standstone,
says the London Globe. In shape it is
typically Roman, and it stands about
2 feet 10 inches, with a heavy pediment
of scroll and patra design, a molding
of three members above the square face
of the inscribed column, and another
heavy base with a single molding be
tween. A heavier and wider base, sep
arate from the stone, with an inset,
was also found, which brings up the
height to 3 feet 10 inches. On the
left return of the stone is the carving
of a "stringed bow" and on the right
another small carving quite defaced.

Although the privilege exists of using
the stamps of the republic jof 1848,
people have not availed themselves of
It, for these stamps have greatly ap
preciated In value, says the London

that collectors who have in their al

THE SAN PRANGISGOj'QALL, MONDAY, 'M
FAMOUS UGLY MEN
ADORED BY WOMEN
Pretty and Welt Endowed Brides
Secured by Wooers Who
Lacked Good Looks
"No woman worthy of the name,"
wrote one of the loveliest women in
London' society recently, "really cares
a brass farthing whether the man she
honors with her hand is handsome or
ugly so long as he possesses the' manly
quality of brains, physical . strength,
honor and so on which make such a
powerful appeal to our sex."
And certainly history supports this
rather unconventional view, says Tit
Bits, for many of the plainest men of
whom we have any record have not
only won pretty and well dowered
brides, but have been able to pick and
choose among the fairest, to the con
fusion of their more, well-favored
rivals. - ;
Was there ever a plainer wooer, we
wonder, than John Wilkes, the famous
champion of popular liberties and one
of the most dissolute roues of his day?
So ugly was Wilkes that the very
children ran away shrieking, at sight
of him in the streets, and yet such was
the spell he cast^over women that
"ladies of beauty and fashion vied with
each other for his notice, while men
of handsome exterior -and all courtly
graces looked enviously and impotently
BOAST OF UGIA* WOOER
'Give me a quarter of an hour's
start," he used to boast, "and I will
win any lady's hand against' the hand
somest man in England." And he could
have done it, too. There were few
beauties, however fair or highly placed,
whose hands could not have been his
for the asking, and in the- very early
twenties he won' for his wife one of
the .loveliest heiresses of the time— a
woman who refused more than one
coronet to be his bride.
• "'Beauty and the Beast,' they call
us," Wilkes once said to a friend, "and
realjy I can not find fault with the de
scription." .
Brougham, the great lord chancellor,
was a man of almost repellent ugliness,
without a solitary compensating grace
of speech or manner. Conscious of his
unattractiveness he shunned women's
society as he might have shunned the
plague. And what was the result? The
women — the most lovely and aristo
cratic in the land — simply mobbed the
"ugly lawyer," and were as pround to
win a smile from him as an offer of a
coronet from any other man.
When any one asked, "Where is
Brougham?" the invariable answer was
"Where the ladies are thickest." And,
sure enough, there he was; and the
more he repelled his fair persecutors
the more they clustered round him.
REPULSIVE MEN POPULAR
Another famous "lady killer" was
Jean Paul Marat, one of the leading
and- most infamous llgures in the
French revolution. "Beyond any ques
tion," wrote a contemporary, "Mons.
Marat is the ugliest man, in the whole
of France — and not merely ugly, but
positively repulsive in person,, habits
and manners."
And yet in his early years he was,
beyond rivalry, the most popular phy
sician In Paris. His consulting rooms
were crowded daily by the loveliest
women in the French capital, pushing
and jostling to get a word with or per
haps win a smile from him. That he
turned a deaf ear and a cold shoulder
to their allurements only stimulated
their ardor, until their attentions be
came so embarrassing that at one time
he seriously meditated flight. -
Even when he contracted a loathsome
skin disease, while hiding in the sewers
of Paris, he was devotedly nursed by
one of the loveliest of his many admir
ers, whom he "married one fine day in
the presence of the sun."
If possible a still more repulsive man
was Potemkin; the former. private sol
dier who enslaved . the . fancy .of Cath
erine the Great and by her favor was
made virtually czar of Russia:'"Dread
ful and repulsive." was the description
of him by one who knew him.
INFATUATION OF WOMEN
"He has an unwieldy figure and
knock knees; Is swarthy of skin, coarse
in feature, and has lost one eye. He
often passes whole days in his room
half dressed, uncombed, unwasheJ, bit
ing his nails and scratching his untidy
head." And yet, . says Durand, "the
empress Is quite crazy over him, as Is
proved by her passionate letters, in
which she addresses him as 'my lord,*
'my king,' 'my" inestimable treasure.' "
But perhaps the most remarkable of
all these cases of woman's infatuation
for ugly men was* that of W. Hamilton,
a Scotsman of a century and a half
ago. Hamilton was not only preter
naturally ugly, but he was terribly de
formed. "His legs," we are told, "were
drawn up to his ears, his arms were
twisted backward, and almost every
member was out of joint."
In spite of these terrible physical
drawbacks Hamilton easily outstripped
all the gallants, in. his district in the
favor of the, women. "He might have
married any of them for the asking—
indeed, it is said several of them act
ually asked him," says a chronicler.
But he remained proof against all their
wiles until after his eightieth birth
day, and then he married a girl of 20,
himself -being carried to the altar on
men's shoulders.
SIAM'S NEW STAMP

New stamps for Slam are announced

PATENTS FAIL TO
PROTECT INVENTOR
Infringements Are Easy and
Profitable and Punishment
Difficult and Costly
Those who haye 1 had no experience
with the patent laws :of this country
fondly imagine that every • inventor
who takes out a patent is fully pro
tected against the infringement thereof
for 20 years, more or less. The whole
power of the government, it is gen
erally believed, may be Invoked to in
sure to the inventor and patentee the
title to the. sole right 'to manufacture
and sell, and all the prqfits accruing
from the invention upon which the
government has; issued a patent. .
Experience proves that these supposi
tions are so far from the facts that
many inventors, decline to apply for
patents, unless they are backed by large
capital, for they hold that the taking
out of a patent is' notice to unscrupu
lous inf ringers of another; opportunity
for them to prosecute an illegal busi
ness with profit and safety,- says the
Newark, N. J., News. It seems to be
safer and more profitable , to, infringe
a patent than to take out and defend
it against infringement.
L.ITIGATIOX PROVES COSTLY
Congress is authorized, by-the consti
tution, '"to -promote the progress of
science and useful arts, by securing. for
limited times, to authors and inventors,
the exclusive right to their respective
writings'and discoveries." Yet as soon
as a valuable patent is. issued it is al
most^ invariably infringed. And then
the inventor is forced to go into court,
generally, at great expense, and prove
that his patent is valid. The govern
ment lias issued the patent, but the in
ventor must defend it. -
If the patent is a thousand times in
fringed a thousand suits may be neces
sary to stop the Infringements, and it
happens very frequently that the in
ventor has no money with which to de
fend liis patent against many or
wealthy inf ringers and is obliged to
abandon the suit and to lose all the
time, effort and money he has devoted
to his invention.
L\FRINGERS SECURE PROFITS
This ought not to be so, but so it is,
and there' is still another phase of the
matter quite as unjust. Suppose an in
ventor wins his suit and proves in
fringement. He is then required to
prove the sales made by the defendant
in order to receive the profits thereon.
But he can never prove all the sales.
It is an absolute impossibility. The ln
fringer still has all the profits of the
unproved sales" and enjoys them with
out punishment for his piracy. ' '
So safe and so profitable has this
piratical business of infringing patents
and trademarks become that lawyers
make a specialty of seeking weak
points in patents, and inf ringers are
constantl yon the watch for opportuni
ties to unlawfully imitate patented ar
ticles, take advantage of the inventor's
good name and advertise and undersell
him in the market, thus ruining him
with his own goods.
JVEW L.AW IS 'PROPOSED
To check this business and to insure
to investors, and patentees t the rights
which th^ government is" authorized to
award, them, a new law has been de
vised and is being strongly urged upon
congress. In Jsubstance this bill pro
vides for. a competent and thorough
bureau of research and disclosure,
which, shall establish a definite record
and fixed status of all inventive and
operative elements in the liberal arts
known in the United States.
Under this new law, when a patent
is applied for, full and complete seiirch
of the records is to ; be made. If the
inventor is entitled to a patent it will
be issued to him, and' instead of being
compelled to institute many and costly
suits to defend it from infringement
he will be able to proceed against in
frlngers in large numbers, all over the
country, at small expense. At present
thousands of patents issued by the pat
ent office He dormant, a loss to the In
ventors and to the public, and theso
conditions will continue till the patent
laws are revised, amended and im
proved so as to afford real protection
to Inventors.
BACHELORS REPLY TO
MATRIMONIAL/QUESTIONS
$2,439 Average" Income Deemed
Necessary for Husband
A : woman's magazine recently sent
out a list of questions to about 500
bachelors in various parts of the coun
try.'These questions dealt with mat
rimony. |
The first one was: "What yearly in
come do, you regard as necessary to a
man of your social standing before
entering upon married life?" /
The second was: "Are the- young
women of your set rightly brought up
and trained, do you think, for the re
sponsibilities and; self denial of wife
hood and home making?!' /
About half the young men questioned
expressed the belief that .the girls are
not adequately trained for the duties
*nd responsibilities of . wif ehood. A
sizable minority, between 50 and . 60,
pronounce the training satisfactory.
In regard to income the estimates re
ceived vary from $500 a year In a Con
necticut village to $15,000 a year in
Chicago. The average among the 500
men figures out $2,439. A favorite fig
ure is $1,500, but the $15,000 mark and
several estimates of $10,000 bring the
level up. , -V , \u25a0 I
Those who think it essential that

home are 40; in- number; those who
think this unessential, 116. : Those who

man who says tersely: "Yes, It's a ques
tion of common sense, and'most of them
have it." \u25a0
.: "They -can make excellent fudge, but
I would not like, to, try their biscuits,"
writes a man. from Washington. "They
play- the piano well, but I doubt if they
could buy a steak. Some of them man
age 'two or three admirers excellently,
but one servant would be too much for
them to handle."
Spokane, Wash, speaks thus: "Few
have any domestic ability and fewer
know how to\ economize. Otherwise
they are very estimable young women."
DICER HERALDS ONWARD
MARCH OF CIVILIZATION
Poorest Mexican Peon Wears
Shiny Plug Hat
Foreign visitors to Mexico next fall,
during, the national festival, would
probably be more- entertained by the
sight of the genial natives at their
ease in bright scrapes, high peaked
sombreros and rawhide moccasins. Only
a procession of aldermen or a presiden
tial reception committee can rise to the
full glory of the shiny silk hat and the
full ; skirted j black coat of ceremony,
says the New York World. But Porfirlo
Diaz has/ worked wonders before, and
as x the\cro-wning act of his long reign
it; is only proper that he should impress
the world that in the regeneration of
his country he has taught the poorest
peon to wear ill fitting pantaloons and
a cheap dicer. .
