Read the story.

New York, March s.-Two rare speci-
mems of the stowaway family were ex-
hibited recently to the immigration in
spectors of the port of New York by the
commander of one of the large ocean lin
ers, which arrived several days late after
a battle with wind and wave. He called

the little wonder men of the sea" and
II their story proved true they would
have been beyond all doubt.
According to the report made to the in
spectors, on the third day out, the vessel
was plunging in the hurricane. A mighty
sea broke over the bow Of the ship. The
avalanche Of water tore one of the life
boats from its davits and droped 1t crash
ing to the deck.
When they were taken before the COM
mander to account for their presence one
said, My mate and I were sailors on a
sailing ship bound for New Orleans. We
ran into a gale and our ship was
wrecked. My mate and I jumped over
board and after swimming several hours
managed to grasp an empty barrel. We
hung on and were still hanging when a
big wave swept us on board this vessel"
The commander admitted that it was a
wonderful tale. An investigation showed
that all the food and water which is al
ways stored in the life boats was gone
from the one that had been wrecked. The
stowaways broke down and admitted that
they had been in the lifeboat since the
ship left port.

niece of Mr.. Martin, came to London
this afternoon to make arrangements for
the funeral. 1t is learned that the body

Mr. Martin was as popular in London
society as in New York and had troops
OF friends OH both sides of the water.
His recently published book of rem

attack of pneumonia, contracted through
the strain of nursing his brother Howard,
through a serious illness. This prevented
his making his usual trip to New York

GAS EXPLOSIONS HURT SCORE

New York. March s--Twenty persons
were injured this afternoon when a
Twenty-third street car was tossed
several feet into the air by the explosion
Of a gas main at Fifth avenue.
The explosion. and q series Of other
blasts which followed in quick success
sion. rocked the neighborhood, broke
glass in office buildings for a block In
all directions. and caused sheet OF
fame to shoot high into the air for
hours.
Fire Chief Kenton and two Of his men.
speeding 10 the fire, were caught by the
explosion and the front of their automo-
showered with asphalt, lumber, and paw
ing blocks
There, had been flood in Twenty
third street caused by the breaking of
two big water mains early in the day.
This had washed away the supporting
soil between the gas main and the roof
of a. connecting branch OF the new
Seventh avenue subway excavation. The
strain brought a leak in the mains, and
spark caused by the starting OF the
street car. which had halted at Fifth
avenue brought about the explosion
The first jar of the explosion and the
roar of the flames was punctuated by
the crash oil glass falling from the win
dows of the fifteen-story Fifth Avenue
Building on the northwest corner, and
from the six-story building opposite. The
policeman barely cleared the street of
its burden of injured, when there came
a more powerful explosion. The plate
glass windows OF the Garfield National
Bank. in the Fifth Avenue Building, were
blown out, and the sidewalks in Fifth
avenue and Broadway were Uttered with
shattered glass from the Flatiron Build
ing The fire alarm was sent in and the
police reserves OF the West Seventeenth
street Station were called out.
The policemen had scarcely arrived and
oegun driving the great throng back to
safety when there was a series of sharp
explosions, which tore up the street.
in some places raising it two and three
feet above its normal level. Flames
shot high in the air and wavered about,
haring first to one side of the street and
then TO the other. For nearly half an
hour there were only few scattered
explosions. and then there came a mighty
roar which set windows rattling for
couple of dozen blocks.
Thirty feet of the gutter west of Fifth
avenue rose three feet in the air and fell
back with the pavement torn and gashed
with flames swirling out Of the inter-
stices. There was another gush of
flames a second later as a succeeding
explosion wrenched loose the pavement
for an equal distance-clear out to the car
tracks.
At the time of tie explosion both Board
way and Fifth avenue were thronged and
there was another crowd passing along
Twenty-third street. Many had narrow
escapes from being struck by flying stones
and debris. Ten thousands persons
watched from the distance lines es-
tablished by the police.

For a long time August moped in his
kennel, refusing to notice other dogs and
declining to get acquainted with any OF
his English-speaking keepers. Never a
word of English could be understand, and
English syllables made him COVER and

never have done without them. And
one also p~erceives to his astonish-

the wars which have been gigantic
blunders and crimes have all been
wars for the attainment of practical
ends, like territory, or markets, or
wealth, while the wars which the
world could not have done without
have all been for abstract prih-
ctples, for beliefs. for religions, for
mad dreams and seemingly impossible
hopes. The world could well spare the
conquests Of Napoleon, because the
wars were merely for Napoleon; but
the world could not spare the martial
conflicts surrounding and realizing the
French revolution. because 1t was Q
