IDA LEWIS AT HOME,
How the Famous Heroine Lives in
Newport Harbor.

Running from the mainland into the
west side of Newport harbor is long.
stanchly built wharf. Were you to find
your way to the end, you would ere long
see from the lighthouse beyond woman
appear and glance in your direction
Presently, with agile step, she runs down
the narrow ladder fastened to the stone
wall, jumps nimbly into boat, unties it
from its moorings, takes the heavy oars
and with beauty of stroke all her own
pulls with long and a strong pull that
sends her flying toward the steps of the
pier on which you wait. Her back is
as erect as that of young girl, her
powerful strength manifest in the great
strides the rowboat makes, and vet, when
she deftly turns it round and you get
good look at her face, it can be seen that
IL belongs to woman in middle life, but
upon whom time has left few tell-tae
marks. She puts out welcoming hand
with beautiful white wrist, adding a
CHEEKY smile and word of greeting as
she makes ready to take you over to Lime
Rock as her guest. You have cause for
self-congratulation in being thus favored
by the heroine, Ida Lewis.
Life on lighthouse, situated as is
Lime Rock light, is not the gruesome
thing generally imagined. With a six
roomed house there are cares that fill the
day, and like any other "gude wife, " Miss
Lewis has her pots, kettles, and pans to
attend to, rooms to sweep, beds to make,
papers and magazines to read, letters to
write, and all the various ct ceteras to
manage which fill the time of busy
woman. A devoted church woman, she
spends Sunday on shore whenever
her brother is at home.
As the only woman lighthouse keeper
in our country, and the last one that will
be given light-for such is the verdict
OF the powers that be-Miss Lewis has
other duties that are unique. Exactly at
sundown she must light her lamp, and
precisely at midnight another must be
substituted. All through the night it
must be watched, and Miss Lewis likens
this constant care to that demanded by
an infant The wick might flare or burn
low, the chimney smoke or crack, or any
OF the hundred and one accidents happen
that are ever taking place with the use
of kerosene OIL She can but catch cat
maps; hence the nearness of her sleeping
room to the light. At sunrise the law
requires her lamp, like the foolish vir-
gins, to have gone out, and from this
she is an early riser. The responsibility
is no small one, for the slightest neglect
of duty or accident to her light or lenses
would bring report from the first sea-
man who suffered by it. Lives hang on
her vigilance, but to her credit no light
on all the coast is as regularly or per-
fectly attended to, nor does any other
gain from the Government Inspector so
high report. Miss Lewis keeps a daily
expense book, noting just the amount of
wick and oil burnt, and the time to a
second of the lighting and putting, out
of the lamp. In addition, record of
the weather must be entered daily. AS
Lime Rock light is first-class light, no
rations are allowed, the yearly salary be-
ing $3.50 and two tons of COAL Ladies'

Our Children's Inheritance.

Unless we are now able to preserve our
mental and bodily forces intact, our
grandchildren will be victims to our
faults. They would even have the right
to certain extent to call us to account
for our careless conduct. "What did
you do with that vigorous body and
healthy and sturdy mind that were given
you by your parcnts2 for it is by your
fault that we are miserable and sickly. "
The importance of the question is thus
well established Since the future de-

BARGAINS EVERY DAY AT

The farce of letting ort the publish
ing of the board Of supervisors pro-
ceedingS was re-enaCted yesterday,
when, as usual, Turner, Of Earlville,
got the job without advertisements. -
He publishes the matter in his little
paper at Earl where it may fall into
the hands Of POO or 300 people; and
furnishes. $500 pamphlets for the sup
ervisors to distribute to their consti-
tuents. The last time he published
the proceedings he furnished papers
instead OF pamphlets and the kick
was that no one had seen the proceed
ings. Wonder how much better it
will be when pamphlets take the
place of papers and the distribution
of them falls upon the supervisors in
stead of the publisher, who was eX-
pected to mail copies to names furn-
ished. This business of publishing
the proceedings has lately, as the
Dcm.-PteSS says, 'dcgenerated a re-
dculous farce"-a burlesque.

The Business Mems Association of
Joliet has 'sct down its foot" so to
speak, on the Chicago sewage question,
deciding once for all, peremptorilyand
emphatically, that no more Chicago
sewage shall come this way under any
preteXt and therefore the pumps at
Bridgeport must he stopped. As, how
ever, that will require the employment
OF lawyers, and that will cost money,
and the b. NJ. a. happens to be little
short, the matter Of making the legal
fight and paying the cost is turned
over to the Joliet city council. Mean
time the late drainage convention at
Joliet appointed committee and in
structed it to employ lawyers and take
all needful legal steps TO compel Chi
cago to keep up the pumps at Bridge
port, to the full requirement al the
Mum resolution. Won't it be little
to Chicago, to say nothing
of the courts, when these two sets of
lawyers begin their suits, the one to in
crease and the other to stop the pump
ing at Bridgeport?

come in from players throughout the
country, and there seems to be ma

The behavior of Rockford, the or
ganiZatlon of whose team is necessary
to complete the eight towns of the
league, is phenomenal. In spite of all
the noise their papers make of the inn
mense enterprise of that city, the
forming Of an association there drags
along most tantalizingly slow. The
town ought to get move on-stop
laying off wildcat additions to the
town long enough to do something
and get into the league. Unless some
thing is done pretty soon another town
to complete the circuit of eight towns
will have to be selected.

ly denies everything, and no threats or
persuasion can got her To reveal her
name or where she lives.

Lumpy Jaw.

Mr.. EDITOR:-I read in your paper
an article on "Lumpy Jaw" in which
Mr.. Griffith says that it is durable if
taken in time, and that it may posi-
bly, be cured if allowed to attain its
full size. AS far as my experience
goes, l have cause to believe that fully
One-half of the cases of ''Lumpy Jaw"
are caused by blood poisoning from a
scratch by barbed wire or rusty nail.
| also believe that if treated as case
of blood poisoning from the start the
animal will soon recover; and, further
company makes it an object to the sur
geOns to condemn these cattle. l do
not mean to say that these surgeons
are right in cOndemning these cattle:
for do most emphatically say that
there are hundreds of cattle condemn
ed yearly that are perfectly healthy.
Mr.. Griffith says that if the lump is
allowed to attain full size and then
cut off it leaves CHASTITY scar. The
steer, then, in splendid condition, may
be shipped to the stock yards and still
be rejected on the plea that the virus
of poison still remains in the flesh. He
also says that they may insinuate that
the carcass is only fit to be given to
the dogs. But if you will sell them
