AREAL PIRATE ISLAN
It Was Once the Stronghold of
Morgan, the Buccaneer.
A TINY COUNTRY TO ITSELF.
Old Providence, an Uncanny Spot In
the Caribbean Sea, and the Lawless,
Reckless, Murderous Crew That Now
Claim It as Their Own.
Sailing upon that almost unknown
sea which ebbs and flows upon the
Mosquito Coast, the line of the horizon
is broken by two faint points. As the
vessel approaches nearer a strange
$ight meets the vision. The points
have become two jaws looming against
the clearness of the sky and water. It
is as if an enormous mouth had been
suddenly thrust out of the sea with
distended jaws pointed skyward.
Truly the sight is uncanny, but the
jaws mark an uncanny spot in the
Caribbean. Once these waters were
not so deserted by man. Upon their
bosom passed stately galleons, the
plate ships loaded with treasure from
the new Spain. When their captains
saw those black jaws they may have
said an Ave as, altering their course,
they sailed away from them, for this
bit of dry spot in the ocean was then
known, as it is today, as a pirate is
land.
Old Providence, as the map maker
calls it is in truth a dot on the waters.
Not over four miles from end to end
in its longest direction and half as
much in width, a good walker can en
circle it by the little coast path the na
tives call a highway in half a day. The
human beings who call it home are
confined to Its outer edge, for the sub
marine volcano which at some time in
the' past ages gave birth to Old Provi
dence in one of its convulsions, topped
it off with a miniature mountain range
stretching above the center of the is
land. It is one of these mountains that.
forms the black gaping jaws so plainly
seen long before the graceful cocoanut
palms marking the shore line are visi
ble. In a- whimsical display of its
power the volcano cut a great wedge
in one of the peaks-a wedge fully a
hundred feet across at the top and
tapering to a score or so at the bottom.
Today, as centuries ago, Old Provi
dence is a tiny country to itself. Far
out of the modern ocean highway. in
one of the least frequented parts of the
Caribbean, the steamship or sailing
ship has no occasion to pass near it
unless driven there by storm. There is
no postoffice, for the reason that there
is no mail service. True, it is claimed
by some country just as every point
that sticks out of the sea is claimed.
Colombia calls Old Providence a part
of Its republic, but not a man lives
upon It to act as governor, judge or
even agent. So its people kill, steal
and commit other crimes utterly re
gardless of any authority save force
and the little influence of the solitary
white man who has cast his lot among
them.
St. Catherine, as it was mockingly
called in the old days, was the strong
hold of Henry Morgan. For nearly 250
years the blood of his followers has
flowed in the veins of its people, but
before the freebooters sailed Into its
harbor the Spanish governor of Costa
Rica had made it an island prison for
criminals he thought too dangerous to
keep on the mainland. When Morgan
defeated the garrison he placed as
-guards of his captives 100 of these con
victs, released on their promise to join
has band-literally human dregs of
new Spain. Again the Spaniards cap
tured the Island and turned it into a
penal colony until Morgan's flag was
raised above it in 1670 and the struggle
for its possession ended. Since then
most of those who have lived upon it
have been descendants of the white
outlaws, their convict allies and the
black women who went there from the
West Indies on Morgan's ship.
The blood of the islanders is the
blood of English, Irish and Scotch, but
adulterated with that of the negro. To
day fully 1,000 persons live upon this
Islet-a thousand human beings who
have degenerated In mind until the
majority of them are little better than
beasts. Murder is common; theft is not
a crime; marriage is'nnknown. Only
the fear of a stronger keeps many a
man from +ting life for a trifie.
Most of the cocoanuts are traded for
clothing, liquor, firearms. knives and
trinkets. After a vessel has loaded
and departed, for days the island may
be the scene of a drunken debauch,
which brings to mind stories written
about the carousals of the buccaneers
after the capture of a prize, but here
is no captain or discipline of the sea.
The weaker are the prey -of the
stronger, and robbery and kiling pass
unnoticed. It is the testimony of Fa
ther St John, the brave priest who
alone is endeavoring to do something
to Improve the condition of these peo
ple, that scarcely a week passes with
out a murder.
With only a handful out of the 1,000
population acknowledging any form of
Christianity, it is not strange that the
belief in fetiches, even voodooism,
should be widespread. Witch doctors
and sellers, of charms for good and
evil are numerous. Most of the wo
men wear next to the skin a tuft of
hair, a piece of rag smeared with
blood or some other amulet which is
Intended to cast a spell over their ene
mies or to keep off Satin, in which all
believe.
But the life and history of these hu
man renegades are not the only evi
dence to prove that their home is a real
pirate island and not the sort of which
the novelists are so fond of describ
hig. At Its north end rises a rocky
plateau covering half a dozen acres.

hotly.

There is not an ache or pain that can

The highest point oni this plateau bears
a slight resemblance to a man's face,
andethe native says that it is "Mor
gan's Head." The tifty foot precipice
which extends from the water's edge
to the top of the plateau is so steep
as to be almost inaccessible except in
two or three places where the storms
of years have worn away the stone.
The top is so covered with vines,
shrubs and other growth that not until
one has penetrated into their midst
does he find the remains of a wall evi
dentlf the work of human hands. Most
of it is hidden by the rank vegetation,
but enough of the massive masonry
can be seen to indicate that it was in
tended for a fortification
A strange sight are the dozen or
more pieces of artillery mounted upon
a plateau at the north eud. Some of
them are of brass. but long since thick
ly coated with verdigris, which gives I
them the aplparnllCe of fallen trees
green with mold. Others are of iron,
but all of them still bear traces of the
artistic inagery with which the gun
makers of the seventeenth century dec
orated their work. Lying inside of
the wall. the guns were evidently a
part of the armament of Santa The
resa, the castle which *the Spaniards
built for the main defense of St. Cath
erine. but which they surrendered to
Morgan in 1G70 with eight smaller
forts and batteries.

ROMANCE OF A NAME.
Hugh Williams and a Remarkable
Series of Coincidences.
Names have figured frequently in co
incidences, one of the most remarkable
cases being that recorded of a series of
men named Hugh Williams. whose es
capes from shipwreck are recorded by
an English chronicler.
On Dec. 5,'16G4. according to this au
thority. the English ship Menia was
crossing the strait of Dover and 'cap
sized in a gale. Of the eighty-one pas
sengers on board one was saved. His
name was Hugh Williams.
On the same day of the same month
in 1785 a pleasure boat was wrecked
on the Isle of Man. There were sixty
persons on the boat among them one
Hugh Williams and his family. Of the
threescore none but old Hugh Williams
survived the shock.
On Aug. 5. 1820, a picnicking party
on the Thames was run down by a
coal barge. There were twenty-five of
the picnickers, mostly childden under
twelve years of age. Little Hugh Wil
liams, a visitor from Liverpool, only
five years old. was the only one who
was saved.
Now comes the most singular part of
this singular story. On Aug. 19,1889, a
coal laden craft, with nine men, foun
dered in the North sea. Two of the
men, each of whom was named Hugh
Williams. an uncle and nephew, were
rescued by some fishermen and were
the only men of the crew who lived to
tell of the calamity.--Scrap Book.
Herschel's Memory.
Until he had oecome a very eld man
Sir ,Tohn Herschel retained the strength
of intellect and freshness of memory
which enabled him to accomplish his
great scientific work. Sir Henry E.
Roscoe in his autobiography records
an instance when Herschel was seven
ty-four years old.
One evening in 1866 I happened to
meet him. He mentioned as an inter
esting piece of news that a star re
cently discovered had suddenly burst
out into first or second magnitude.
"Do you know," said Herschel, "that
when I was at the Cape I observed a
precisely similar phenomenon?"
He considered a moment and added,
"Yes, it was in the year 1835." Again
he paused but a moment and conclud
.ed, "On August the 16th at 1 o'clock
in the morning."

The ingenuity of the Chinese in sur
mounting difficulties is well illustrated
by the following dialogue, which re
cently took place on the Imperial Chi

Railway Official-No got any rate for

SLEEP OF GREAT MEN
As a Rule All Famous Figures:
Have Been Early Risers.
SCHILLER WROTE AT NIGHT.
The German Poet Worked With Wet
Towels on His Head and Strong
Coffee at His Elbow-Endurance of
Humboldt, Balzac and Voltaire.
"Five hours' sleep is sufficient for
men," declared Napoleon; "seven for
women, children and fools."
History hardly bears out the great
Corsican's dictum, although there have
been some notable advocates among
the world's great men of the theory
generally regarded as "burning the!
candle at both ends." Men, however,
undoubtedly differ fundamentally in re
gard to the need of sleep as they do in
other respects, and, whether great or
little, each one must work out from I
experience a schedule of rest, as he
must of diet and exercise. One fact,
however, may be predicated of almost
all grer t persons-whatever their hab
its as regards retiring they have been
early risers. During the years of Dan
iel Webster's greatest congressional ac
tivity it was remarked of him that no
one ever saw him reading or preparing
for his speeches. This was all.done,
according to his own confession, at an
hour when other men were still enjoy
ing their morning slumber. Webster
possessed in a high degree what is
known as the "morning temperament,"
as distinguished from the "night tem
perament." and he found consequently
that his mind manifested greatest
clarity and productivity during the ear
ly hours of the day.
Training undoubtedly has much to
do with the 'prmation of mental hab
its, but it is 'folly, says the New York
Herald, to deny the existence of an in
born inclination stronger than train
ing or discipline. The German poet
Schiller is a luminous example of the
"night temperament," and he is pic
tured with wet towels around his head
and strong coffee at his elbow as he
bent over his lamp illumined manu
script. Yet, *like all German boys,
Schiller was trained to early rising,
and if he deliberately chose the night
for his time of composition it was be
cause of an inner Impulse which admit
ted of no refusal. With the approach
of evening the heart quickens its pulsa
tions, and respirations become more
rapid, and the whole system suffers an
increase of feverish a'ectivity; hence we
are prepared to find the "night disposi
tion" in the case of nervous and ex
citable brain workers, notably of poets
and writers of fiction. To but few is it
given to produce year In and year out a
certain fixed daily quota, as in the case
of Anthony Trollope, who early set
himself to work and with whom the
arrival of noon marked the completion
of his day's task.
Balzac, on the other hand, that Titan
of the nineteenth century, was accus
tomed regularly to arise at midnight
and after enveloping himself in his
monk's habit to seat himself at his
desk and force his weary brain to its
task of creation. Carried away by ad
miration of the "master," Theophile
Gautier and a number of other am
bitious youths of the day undertook to
imitate this peculiarity of the "father
of realism," with the result that very
soon they were forced to take to their
beds in earnest to make up for the
hours stolen from slumber. -Doctors
doubtless would point to the early tak
ing off of Balzac, who died when fifty
one years of age, as proof of the del
eterious effects of such a regimen.
On the other hand, it may be question
ed whether his exhaustion was not due
to the privations and financial troubles
of his early years rather than to work
at Ill advised hours. It is as illogical
to attribute his early death to the ab
normality of his habits of labor as to
attribute. the long survival of Voltaire
and the explorer and traveler, Alexan
der Humboldt, to a like cause.
IOn one occasion Max Muller, as re
lated in his autobiography, was return
ing from an evening entertainment in
Berlin with Humboldt, who was then
eighty years of age, and the conversa
tion turned upon the latter's "Cosmos."
Bitterly the savant complained that he
was no longer' able to accomplish as
much as previously, since he now re
quired four hours' sleep instead of two,
as In earlier years. "When I wvas your
age," he remarked to the philologian,
"I would simply turn down my lamp,
and after a nap of two hours would be
as fresh as ever."
The sleeping room of Voltaire's sec
retary at Ferney was directly beneath
that of the author, and at any hour of
the day or night when moved to com
position the great Frenchman was ac
customed to stamp upon the floor of
his chamber and summon the unfortu
nate scribe to take 'down his thoughts.
When once under way It was no un
usual thing for him te continue work
ing for sixteen hours at a stretch.
Goethe despite his habit of early ris
ing was wont to arise in the night to
scribble down a poem or song, and
Emerson's wife was subject to the
danger of being aroused by the philos
opher in his search for writing mate
rials. "Only a thought, my dear," he
would reassure her as he seized the
fleeting inspiration.
During the time -'when suspicioD
pointed strongly to Sir Walter Scott as
the author of the Waverley novels the
closest watchfulness of his guests at
Abbotsford failed to detect signs of
literary activity on their host's part,
the reason being that his pen had al
ways completed its daily labors by the
time the amateur detectives had arisen
from their beds.

Don't Get Excited.
History does not depend on acci
dents. The growth of the race is to
ward a definite goal. The rain at
Waterloo made no history. Gettysburg
was not a scratch. If fate drops a
stitch here, she picks it up there. The
thread goes on. The current of life
moves. The individual plays his part
his little part-and sinks, but there is
no hole in the stream when he goes
under, whether he be president or
plumber, king or carpenter, so don't'
get excited about your fate. Do the
best you can, and, above all, be calm!
--William Allen White in Emporla Ga
Fact Versus History.
in 210 B. C. Hannibal, with about
50,000 men, nearly anniilated the Ro
man army of about U0,00 at Cannae,
at Apulia, Italy, but It Is all a fable
to say that he sent three bushels of
gold rings plucked from the hands of
dead ILoman knights back to Carthage
as evidence of his victory. The mes
senger who carried the news back to
the Carthaginlan senate on concluding
his report "opened his robe and threw
out a number of gold rings gathered on
the field of battle."
Four years later the Romans, under
Marcellus, attacked and captured Syra
cuse. belonging to Greece, because of
its alliance with Hannibal against
Rome. As the invading ships ap
proached, Archimedes is said to have
set some of them on fire with immense
burning glasses. However, modern
science has so well watered this story
that it only remains to add that even
at this day the feat would be impossi
ble.
Great Builders.
Au eminent Divine once preached a
sermon from this text: "On building
and builders." He talked of the World's
Great architects. artists, authors, paint
ers, sculptors, etc. He said that every
one, no matter how low his station in
life, who left the world better than he
found it, was a builder, that he who
digged a ditch well built for the world's
betterment. He might truthfully added
that he who discovers a great remedy
like Rydale's Tonic. works for the
world's betterment. Rydale's Tonic is
a human system builder It purifies
and. builds the blood, restores weak
nervous systems and increases the
strength and weight. All who have
used Rydale's Tonic, pronounce it a
areat system tonic and builder. Dr.

She Didn't Accept.
A little episode once greatly delight
ed Calve, the famous prima donna.
She was being escorted over a famous
grotto when she suddenly thought of
an opera and burst into song, to which
the boy' who was her guide listened
with much satisfaction. When she
stopped he seriously remarked, "If you
asked the proprietor whether you might
sing In here while the people are being
shown over I think he would pay you
well." "How much do you think he
would give me?" asked the prima don
na. entering thoroughly Into the spirit
of the adventure. After thinking care
fully the boy replied. "About 5 francs
a day."
Cured Hemorrhages of the Lungs.
"Several years since my lungs were
so badly atiected that I had many hem

Ind. "I took treatment with several
physicians without any benefit. I then
started to take Foley's Honev and Tar,
and my lungs are now as sound as a

"E Pluribus Unum."
We are indebted to John Adams for
our national motto, "E Pluribus
Unum." While he was minister to,
England Sir John Prestwick suggested
It to Mr. Adams as a good motto to in
dicate the union of the colonies. It
was submitted to congress and adopted
by act of congress June, 1782. The
eagle in its beak bears a ribbon, on
which is the motto. In the early days
of its use the eagle bore also in its
talons a bundle of thirteen arrows, but
when, in 1841, a new seal was made to
take the place of the old one, which
had become worn, only six arrows
were placed in the talons. Whether
this change was ordered by law or not
Is not known. The old Latin .iotto
was in use In England as far'back as
1730 on the Gentleman's Magazine.
