Rolling Ont Gnn Powder
At a recent fire in Boston, which
filled the neighboring building, a gun
store, with smoke and threatened its
destruction, a man quietly sat upon
the powder chest near the door until
it was removed to a sale ptace in au
adjacent block, says the Youth’s Com
panion. The cool deed recalls an an*
ecdote told in “A Godchild of Waabs
ington” about a fire in New York, in
1783, while the Britiah were getting
ready to evacuate the city.
Col. Morgan Lewie had relumed to
hia house in z the city, and with him as
guests, were Mr. and Mrs. Alexander
Hamilton. Fire broke out in the
arsenal, and all classes were frightened.
Those Americans who bad returned
to their homes feared that the arsenal
bad been set on fire by the British.
The British soldiers kept aloof, lest
they should be suspected and become
the object of popular violence. The
flames continued unchecked.
Col. Lewis and Mr. Hamilton were
forming the citizens in line to pass
leather buckets from band to hand,
when a soldier announced that all was
lost, as the arsenal contained several
barrels of gunpowder, which the fire
had just reach* <l.
“Come, my lads, won't you help ueT”
said Col. Lewis to the British soldiers,
standing idly by.
“Yes, sir, willingly,” they replied.
Hamilton and Lewia led the way
into the burning arsenal, and the sol
diers followed. They rolled out through
the fire the barrels of gunpowder, call
ing them “barrels of pork,’’ and thus
saved the city.

Ensign Bagley’s Last Words.
The Chicago Chronicle says that
a private letter gives a pathetic inci
dent connected with the death of En
sign Bagley on board the torpedo boat
Winslow at the engagement off Car
denas.
Bagley had been fearfully wounded
by a shot, which practically tore
through his body. He sank over the
rail and was grasped by one ot the en
listed men named Reagan, who lifted
him up and placed him on the deck.
The young officer, realizing that he
had only a short time to live, allowed
no murmur of complaint or cry of
pain to escape him, but opened hia
eyes and stared at the sailor, and
simply said:
“Thank you, Reagan.”
These were the last words he spoke.

Could Hear Webster > Mlle.
Marshfield is noted for having Its people
live to a green old age, but Mrs. Sally Ba
ker, who is 98 years old, can claim the dis
tinction of being its oldest inhabitant by
quite a number of years. She resides in a
pretty farmhouse on the Neck road, which
has been her home for 61 years. The
buildings are sprucely painted the sur
roundings are trimly kept, and the barns
indicate a thrifty farm business. Mra
Baker was born in Kingston June 9,1799,
and was the daughter of Oliver and Sally
(Maglathlin) Sampson—good old colony
stock on both sides of the house.
In April, 1819, Sally Sampson was mar
ried to Captain Otis Baker of Duxbury,
Parson Zephaniah Willis of Kingston per
forming the ceremony. Captain Baker
had been a privateersman in the war of
1818, being then less than 81 years old.
fils widow now draws a pension, and is
the only pensioner of that 'vur now living
in this section. In 1836 Captain Baker
and bis wife went from Duxbury to Marsh
field and established a home, where she
has resided ever since. The farm was a
mile long and extended to Green Harbor
river, on the opposite side of whiohlay the
estates of Daniel Webster. Mrs. Baker
used to see a great deal of her distin
guished neighbor, for he was always hail
fellow well met with the townspeople.
Mr. Webster’s voice in particular has im
pressed itself on the lady’s memory.
“You could hoar him a mile off,” she

THE BENNINGTON'S CRACK CREW GOT
A COSTLY SURPRISE.
Tke Story «* • Fourth ot July Bowing
Contort at Honolulu Which Kmpttad th.
Pocket, and I-aoernted th. Feeling, of
Unele Sam’. Jueklea.
“About as di- >1 a Fourth of July
as ever I experienced on board a man
o’-war,” said an ex-sailor of the navy
now living in Washington to a report
er, “was Independence day not many
years ago down in the harbor of Hono
lulu. The Bennington had an all star
racing boat’s crew. The eight had just
happened to be assigned to the Ben
nington in a bunch before she left for
her Pacific cruise, and several of the
oarsmen had been members of the Co
lumbia’s crack boat’s crew that walloped
all of the British navy’s boats’ crews in
English waters a few years before.
The Bennington’s cutter was one of
the best in the navy, and she had been
built for a racer. Before we left the
Mare Island navy yard for south Pacific
waters the ship’s racing crew had easily
beaten all of the other crews of the
ships lying at the yard, including the
tiptop crew of the Olympia and the
Boston’s fine crew. We thought that
we were about as warm as they make
’em after our crew put it on so many
other man-o’-war crews, giving them a
couple of minutes the start of us, too,
on numerous occasions and still beating
them disgracefully.
“The people of Honolulu arranged
an aquatic festival for the Fourth of
July—the Americans down there cele
brated the Fourth just as enthusiastic
ally as we do up here—and the Ben
nington’s crew figured in it largely.
Our ship’s colors were at the fore in the
two races that were run with picked
Kanaka crews, and the third and last
race bf the day was one in which our
crackajack eight was to figure, the other
races having been won by subcrews
practically picked at random from
among tho strongest seamen.
“We thought this race was at our
mercy. It was to be a four sided affair—
one crew of Kanaka sugar field workers,
a crew of Kanaka policemen and the
racing crew of the yacht Eleanor, be
longing to Mr. Slater of Providence,
that had pulled into Honolulu harbor
from Japan a few days before. Our
crew didn’t pay much attention to the
yacht’s racing crew and were only fig
uring on the distance they could beat
the crew of Kanaka policemen, which
seemed the most formidable.
“The race was over the four mile
course carefully blocked out in the har
bor—which was very smooth—by the
Honolulu aquatic sportsmen, and the
start was first rate. There wasn’t a man,
fore or aft, on the Bennington that
didn’t stand to go broke to the extent
of at least a month’s pay on the success
of the Bennington’s crew, and we had
to give 8 to 1, too, for it was generally
conceded that we had the race at our
mercy.
“The start, as I said, was good, and
the Bennington’s crew showed in front
first and started out apparently to make
a runaway race of it. The Kanaka po
licemen’s crew trailed after them, pull
ing steadily, then the Kanaka sugar
workers and, a good ten lengths to the
rear, the Eleanor’s crew. This was the
way it looked for the finish when the
Bennington’s crew rounded the stake
boat and started far the return trip.
“Some of the Honolulu men who had
their money up on tire two Kanaka
, crews actually began to square accounts,
and theory, ‘lt’sall over—Bennington!’
was heard all over the bay. When the
stakeboat was rounded, it was noticed
that the Eleanor’s boat was sort of get
ting a move on itself, and the men
were working like machines at a long,
steady stroke that certainly looked as if
it was cutting down the Bennington’s
lead and the lead of the two Kanaka
boats.
“Two minutes after the stakeboat
was rounded the Eleanor’s gang were
right abreast of the Kanaka cutters and
gaining on them with every stroke, and
the cox’un of the Bennington’s cutter,
hearing the yells of warning from the
Bennington bluejackets ashore, looked
behind him and saw the Eleanor cutter
only two lengths behind him and com
ing like an electric launch. Our crew
was tired, and that’s all there was
about it
“The Eleanor’s crew had held them
selves in for the finish, and they cer
, tainly did make a Garrison finish of it
, The yacht’s cutter shot ahead of our
, cutter a good mile from home, and then,
■ to make the thing more galling, the
crew actually stopped rowing until the
Bennington’s crew was alongside again.
Then they took to the oars again, and
from then on it was a howling farce.
, The Eleanor’s crew just romped their
cutter in ten lengths ahead of our cut
ter and the Kanakas a quarter of a
’ mile in the rear.
1 “You never saw such a disgusted lot
of men in your life as the men and
officers on the Bennington. The Elea
i nor’s ship company had taken all of the
, Bto 1 money they could get on board
our ship, for they knew they had a good
thing up their sleeve. The Eleanor’s
crew on the whole trip around the
world that was wound np at San Fran
cisco had not been beaten once in a cut
ter race, and the yacht’s sailors had
made all kinds of money in betting on
their crew.. It was a minor sort of con
solation for us when we found out that
. five of the Eleanor’s racing crew were
ex-American man-o’-war’s men.”—
Washington Star.
Winning race horses are generally
i bays, chestnuts or browns, and for every
hundred bays among them there are 50
chestnuts and 30 browns. There is no
record of an important race being won
, by a piebald.
While we are considering when to
’ begin it ia often too late to act—Quin
tilian.
