PHYSICIAN AND Bl CCANF.ER.
Dr. Dover of Powder Fame Discover e
Original of Robinson Crnaoe.
From the Medical Record.
In an address delivered before the
Historical club of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity IJr. William Osier gives an ac
count of Dr. Thomas Dover, whose
name has passed down to posterity. In
connection, with pnlvls Ipecacuanhae
compositus. There are few physicians
who have not prescribed Dover powd
ers, but there are, we think, stll fewer
who know much about Dr. Dover, and.
especially, who know that he was at
one time a successful buccaneer and
discovered Alexander Selkirk of "Rob
inson Crusoe" fame.
Dr. Dover was born In Warwickshire,
nbout 16B0, and was probably a student
of Sydenham's. After taking his de
gree, he settled In Hrlstol. and. having
made some money. Joined with some
other merchants in a privateering ex
pedition. Two ships were fitted out.
and Dover went ns third In command,
being styled "Captain Dover." He
sailed to the Spanish Main, and In 1709
arrived at the Island of Juan Fernan
dez. There Captain Dover went ashore.
and discovered the sole occupant of the
Island to be a Scottish sailor named
Alexander Selkirk, who had been left
there alone four years and four months
before, Selkirk was taken off and made
an ottlced on one of the ships. The ex
pedition afterward sacked the two
cities of Guayaquil, Dover leading In
the assault. They took a number of
prizes, and cruised about the coast from
Peru to California. They then sailed
across the Pacific and reached England
in 1711.
The expedition was very successful,
realizing the enormous sum of 1K50,000,
of which Dr.' Dover received a consid
erable part. After his return home Do
ver traveled again somewhat,' hut fin
ally went to London. TIs most famous
book Is one known as "The Ancient
Physician's legacy," published in 17:!:!.
This was a popular' treatise On medi

KOOSIC'S DEEP MYSTERY
A Butcher Boy, a Revolver, Highway
men and Money Figure ia It.
THE STORY THAT SMITH TELLS
It Is Not or Nature Entirely Satis
factory to the Good People of Moosls
and They Are Doing Soma Lively
Thinking and Questioning.
Moostc has a mystery of a sensational
nature that Is keeping the quiet people
of that quiet village doing some very
earnest thinking. Herbert Smith, a
young butcher, alleges that as he was
walking from Avoca to his boarding
place in Mooslc soon after midnight
last Sunday night he was held up by
highwaymen, who relieved him of $350
and also punctured his body with a
ball from a revolver.
That Is not the mysterious part of the
affair, however.
Mr. Smith came to Mooslc some time
ago from Centermoreland where his
parents reside on a farm. He obtained
employment with a Mooslc meat deal
er and prospered so highly that two
months ago he opened a cash meat mar
ket hlniHelf. He Is an ardent church
member, and Sunday night attended
services as Is his wont. After listening
to the expounding of the word he es
corted home a young lady of his ac
quaintance, who is also a member of the
same church." She resides In the lower
part of Mooslc and he remained at her
home until midnight, when he departed,
saying he had to go to Avoca la-fore
he turned his steps homeward.
The young lady remarked that It was
a somewhat unseasonable hour to
walk to Avoca, a. distance of several
miles, but he declared that he had to go
and started In that direction.
MADE A FLYING TRIP.
It would ordinarily require about half
an hour to walk to Avoca, yet Smith
says he went and transacted the busi
ness that called him there, returned and
was assaulted and robbed, yet reached
his boarding house between 12 und 1
o'clock. He sat in fiis room in his
boarding house without telling anyone
of his condition until about 2 u. m.,
when he went to the olllce of Dr. 8. S.
Watson and had the wound dressed.
He told the physlclun that he wanted
nothing said about the matter.
Monday, when the story of the ns
sault became noised abroad, Smith was
asked for particulars of the affair and
offers of assistance in running down
and capturing the hlghwuymen were
made to him. He evinced a disposition
to avoid talking about the matter, and
declined to have the authorities Inter
ested In the capture of the criminals.
It was his desire, he said, never to set
eyes on the men again.
The description of the robbers that he
has given to different persons do not
appear to agree and he has avoided
anything like an explanation of the
business that called him to Avoca at
the witching hour of midnight and
seems to be greatly annoyed when ques
tioned by the good townspeople with
reference to his exciting experience.
HISTORY OF THE ASSAULT.
His story of the assault Is that as
he was approaching the railroad bridge
below the depot, two men sprang In
front of him and commanded him to
throw up his bunds. At the same time
one of the men leveled a revolver at
his breast. He hit the muzzle of the
weapon, knocking It upwards, and at
that moment It was discharged, the
bullet entering his breast -above the
heart. The bullet struck a bone and
glanced off sideways into his arm. So
close was the weapon held to him that
the flash, when It exploded, burned his
coat.
The highwaymen then contented
themselves with relieving him of $.150,
but did not take his watch or some
small change he had on his person.
Sunday night, before going to church,
Smith took a roll of bills and juit it in
his pocket, saying he thought'tlt would
be safer on his person. He had a re
volver and the next day it was found
in Jils shop with two chambers dis
charged, evidently quite recently. He
denies having had the weapon with him
when assaulted, and naVA thnt (liulllf lnir
Lto take .lt to church with him Sunday
Kin, lie weni inio nis snop and left it
there.
The $S")0 taken from him he Intended
to use Monday in paying meat bills he
owed In Pittston and in buying a horse
Two hundred dollars of the amount he
obtained in the Pittston bank Satur
day on a check he had cashed there.
QUESTIONS THEY ARE ASKING.
How did the robbers learn he had the
money on his person? Why did they
not take all his valuables? Why Is not
an effort made to hunt thorn down'
Where did Smith go Sunday night nfter
leaving the young lady's house? Why
did he not ruise the alarm Immediately
after being shot? Did he have a IOO
check cashed at Pittston? Did he have
the revolver on his person Sunday
night? '
These are questions the peonle of
Moosln are asking themselves and one
another, but at the present writing it
appears they will remain unanswered
Mr. Smith Is recovering from the ef
fect of the pistol shot wounds and
saying nothing.
The Mooslc folk are not following his
example, however.
In the days that are coming "Who
shot Smith?" will be as famous a ques
tion in Mooslc, as "Who struck Billy
Patterson?" was In some other n. me
ters. . ,
