The Stillwagens.

There is nothing like being Still
wagon. The Livingstons, the Cuttings,
Van Rensselaers and Winthrops may
pride themselves on their fine old fami-
lies, but their glory pales its Intellectual
fires before the prestige of the Stillwagen
name. 1t is the open sesame to prefer
ment in politics and victory in war.
Walter Stillwagen recently desired to
be postmaster of Broadford, Pa. He
brought recommendations to the depart
ment signed, as usual, by influential
members of the party in Broadford.
They We're all good men and true, loyal
Democrats and faithful workers. There
were So of them. and the name of every
one of these blessed Democrats was Still
wagon. How many were sons, cousins,
nephews or grandfathers of the original
Walter is not mentioned, but they We're
all relatives, and they all wanted him for
postmaster. He could muster around
him at need as many kinsmen as the old
fighting Scottish clans in border war
fare.
Happy Walter! There are enough of
his kindred to lay out whole township
and draw public money sufficient to
build schoolhouse and run the public
schools, and one Of the Stillwagens could
be teacher, and the younger generation
of the name could be pupils. When it
comes to keeping things in the family,
the Vanderbilts and Astors are not in it
with the Stillwagens. Well, good luck
to the Stillwagens! May 1904 find twice
as many of them as there are today, and
may they still hang together sufficiently
to all vote for one of the family as post
master!

THOUSANDS OF MILES.

The Bennington,s Great Race Against
 TIme-Ordered from the Mediterra.
 mean 10 San Francisco to Arrive at
 the Latter Place by May 1-she Does
 1t in Eishty.Three DaYs-Has a Day
 to Spare.
 WASHINGTON, May 1.-The cruiser Ben nington on her arrival at San Francisco yesterday won 13, ,000 mile race against time with one day to spare, making @ record which is interesting as showing the possibilities of dispatching naval vessels to various parts of the world in emergencies.
 Early in the present year, when 1t was decided to thoroughly police Behring sea 1t was considered necessary to utilize the Bennington for that duty. She was then cruising in the Mediterranean and cable gram was sent January 23, detachipg her from the European squadron and ordering her commander to proceed to the Pacific station by way of the straits of Magellan and to report at San Francisco by May l, If possible. These orders reached the yes gel when she arrived at Genoa.
 Five days were spent in getting stores and otherwise preparing for the long cruise, and February 7 the little vessel got under way. The run of s60 miles to Gib rsltar took three days at 8 10-knot speed. After two days there for re-coaling the Bennington the ocean voyage began, and bad weather caused the ,570 miles to St. Vincent to consume thirteen dayr. After days stop for fresh provisions the ship had fair weather for the 1,64O miles te Pernambuco, which was reached in eight days, and here 1t took three days to fill up | the nearly exhausted coal bunkers and re port to the department upon the state of ! the Brazilian rebellion. Ia the next ter l days the 1,090 miles to Montevideo were trsversed, and here 6 couple of days wer, spent preparing for the long stretch, 2, 75( miles to Valparaiso. This took just the sam, amount of time as ths trip from Gibraltar tt St. Vincent and again two days were los in rscosling. From Valparaiso to Callos
 where stop of one day was made, tn
 ], ,309 miles were left behind betweel
 Thursday, April 5, and the folio wing Tues
 day, and the seventy fifth day out iron
 Genoa, Acapulco was reached, ten day
 having sufiosd to dispose of the last 2, 20
 miles. Two days for coal and provision
 were all that. could be spsred in the Mex
 can port, and eight to go the last leisurel
 run of 1850 miles to San Francisco com
 menced. Thirteen days were divide
 among seven ports, and seventy days wer
 consumed in making the 1s,27e miles C
 the journey, the average speed being 1s
 miles per day.
 It Is interesting to note that, had th Nicsrsgusn canal bsen in operation, th
 Bennington would have reached San Frsr |, cieco at the game speed in less than fort
 days, and would have saved the co burned in 6. .000 miles of extra steamini
 The Bennington will only stop at Ss , | Francisco a few days, as she has bee ordered to join the seal patrol fleet { |. | soon as possibls.

NO ONE WAS INJURED.

Two Men Had Narrow Escape from
 Death by an Explosion at the Torpe-
 do Station atNewport.
 NEWPORT, R. l., May 1.-There was an explosion ct the torpedo station this after noon, but no one was hurt. The loss was small. Two men were at work in the gun cotton drying house, light structure, which stands close to the site of the old gun-cotton factory. In some unknown manner 8 small blszs started in one corner and the men ran out. Just as they left the suspended particles of gun cotton ignited and caused an explosion powerful enough to bs heard in the city and start the roof off, but not sufficient to demolish the light bnilding.
 The station fire department turned out and extipguished the fire in e very brief period. There were in the drying room less than fifty pounds of cotton, and not all of this was burned. That portion of the building which was not blown to pieces was torn down in fighting the flames.
