DEATH OF FATHER KNBIPP.
the Founder of the “Wet Grass" Cure
Passes Away In Bavaria.
Munich, June 18.—Father Sebastian
Kneipp, famous through his water or
grass cure, died at Woerishofen, Ba-
varia, today. He was 76 years old.
Sebastian Kneipp was born at Ste-
As
a. boy he was frail, and his physician
declared that he would not live to be
30 years old. In his youth he was a
weaver, and he worked at the loom un-
til he attained his majority. Then he
turned to the church and the study of
medicine. He devoted himself to medi-
FATHER KNEIPP.
cine that he might cure his own bodily
ailments. In 1848 he began his self
treatment and soon had restored him—
self to perfect health. This treatment
is now world famed as the Kneipp wa-
ter cure. The principles of the Kneipp
school are the purification of the blood
and the regulation of the circulation.
To accomplish this Father Kneipp pre-
scribed certain plain herbs and the ap—
plication of cold water to various parts
of the body.
Having successfully treated himself,
Father Kneipp began treating the
country folk about him. So great was
his success that his fame soon extended
far beyond the little Bavarian village
of VVoerishofen, and persons went to
him from all over Europe. For 30 years
he personally treated all who went to
'him and gave them baths with his own
hands in the little building, now his-
toric, which was known as the ”wash-
ing kitchen.”
The labor proved too arduous, and the
Kneipp society was formed. This or-
ganization is supported by charity and
takes charge of the cure. From a
humble beginning in the priest’s house
in W'oerishofen the system in the hands
of the Kneipp verein has spread over
the world. Where the washing kitchen
stood is now an immense Sanitarium
with 12 physicians in charge, minister-
ing to 1,200. patients at one time. Kneipp
sanitariums have been founded in many
other countries.
In them the cures are worked by
water, air and sunshine. Baths are
given to a portion of the body at a time.
The patients take short walks and wear
clothing of open texture to admit the
air. They are required to go without
other protection to the feet than a light
sole, and. at times wade in snow, or
grass wet with the early morning dew.
Father Kneipp treated many distin-
guished persons. Two years ago he was
called to Rome by the pope, to whose
ailments he successfully ministered.
Most of his life was spent in Woer-
ishofen.
He began to fail about three months
ago, and a few weeks since was erro-
neously reported dead.

Bold Capture of a River Pirate by a New
York Policeman.
New York, June 13.—Three river pi-
rates were surpriscd at their work
early today by Policeman Christopher
O’Brien, who, after a lively time, suc-
ceeded in capturing one of the men
while in the water. The other two es-
caped. He fired two shots at the men.
Charles Bremer was ’the name given
by the one who was captured and ar-
raigned in the Harlem police court and
held for examination. He said that he
lived at 2053 First avenue.
Policeman O‘Brien was patrolling his
beat along the East river front when
he heard splashing off the wharf at
One Hundred and Fifteenth street,
which led him to investigate. After
getting on a barge moored to the wharf
he heard on the adjoining barge, the
Dunderbcrg, some men talking. In his
endeavors to get to them quietly in the
dark the policeman’s foot knocked down
a. tin can, which put the men on the
alert. One of the men jumped over—
board and the other two hid. When
the man in the water came to the sur-
face, the policeman yelled to him that
unless he came back and surrendered
he would shoot.
Instead of obeying the bluecoat the
man dived down again. The tide was
evidently against him, for the next time
he came up for breath he was closer to
the barge than ever. The policeman
again shouted for the man to stop, but
as he did not do so O’Brien fired his re-
volver once without trying to hit his
man. The swimmer again went under
the surface of the water, and while he
was out of sight O’Brien whistled for
help. ‘
Detective White responded with three
policemen. \Vhite and Policeman Man—
ning were foremost in chasing the oth-
’er two men. who had by that time left
their hiding place.
“Then the swimming pirate came up
after O’Brien’s first shot, the policeman
fired again, but the shot did not have
any other effect than to cause the
swimmer to make more frantic efforts
to escape. Seeing that bullets did nof
terrify the pirate,O’Bricn jumped over—
board with his clothes on. and after a
race of 20 yards in the water overt-“Holt.

fight. The moment O’Brien tried to
grab him there was a struggle for su—
premacy. which ended in favor of the
policeman. O’Brien. after choking his
prisoner into submission, towed him by
the hair to the barge and handcuffe:1
him.
In the meantime Detective White
was trying to arrest one thief, and Po—
liceman Manning was endeavoring to
catch the other. Both pirates jumped
overboard. White nearly caught his
man before he got into the water, but
then, as he was not an expert swim—
mer, he jumped into the pirates’ row—
boat at the rear of the store barge and
rowed after the man, but lost him in
the water. The other one escaped by
swimming under a wharf.
