WHERE JOHN HAY WAS BORN.
The Author of "Jim Bludso" First
Saw Light at Salem, md.

The Author of "Jim Bludso' First
Saw Light at Salem, md.
When John Hay was appointed Amer
lean minister to England he was cred
tied as belonging to the District of CO.
lumbia As II matter of fact he is a ma
tive of Indiana, having been born in
Salem, thirty-tivc miles north of Jeffer-
sonville, in 1888 The little one-story
brick house in which he first saw the
light looks as fresh and inviting rs it
did nearly sixty years ago. Few
changes have been made about the
place. 4 little whitCwaSh now and
then has frightened up the exterior and
the yard and garden is n mass of rose
bushes and Towering vines. 1t Is an
Misunderstanding house now, but it was
probably one of the best houses In Sa-
lem at the time of it's construction.
DR.. Charles Hay, father of John Hay,
came to Indiana from Lexington, Ky,
about the year 1925. He visited Cory
don. in Harrison County, the old State
capital, and there married n Miss Leon
ard, daughter of one Of the pioneer citi-
Zens Of the State. About 1880 DR. Hay
moved to Salem, Washington County.
where he practlced his profession and
rendered valuable service to the people
of his adopted State during the cholera
epidemic of 1880. Though a stalwart
Wing, he had no political aspirations
From 1884 to 1910 he in company with
Rozal h. Child, issued the Salem Moni-
tor, a Wing paper. At the latter date
he resumed the practice of medicine.

Dwight l.. Moody. in his initial paper
in "AIr. Moody's Bible Glass" in the
Ladies' Home Journal. And this in
Christian America 1t is said that in
six months thirty graduates of two
large European universities were found
by one rescue mission ID New York
City. Nor are the American colleges
without representatives in the great
city slums. Our daily papers are but

which sin has upon us as a nation: 4

the Cakes for nine years. Three years
ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis
which affected his enunciation. SO that

tain'S wife, of sturdy New England
stock, with the blood OF revolu-
tionary soldiers in her veins, has been
going to sea with her husband for four
teen years.
When the ship sailed from Hong
Kong the crew were in good health, ex-
cept the captain, who, under his wife's
tender care, was making Roadway to-
ward complete recovery. .
Dearborn & Co., the agents or the
Cakes, had instructed Captain Reed to
come by way of Cape Horn, bnt when
he left the Chinese port he decided on
n quicker voyage by turning the Cape
of Good Hope, trade winds faVorlng
him especially at that time, and COM
ing up the South Atlantic.
Six days out in the China Sea. the
Cakes encountered one Of the terrific
typhoons peculiar to those waters.
Fore and main topmasts of the boat
were sprung, and had to be braced by
the crew. Emerging out of one gale,
the ship wallowed III another for more
than three weeks. When it ended the
Cakes was we'll out in the North Pa
cific. far from the course its captain
had set for her, and he determined after
all to go around Cape Horn.
The damage done to the boat by the
gales was quickly repaired by the
sailors, and fine weather succeeded the
terrific hurricanes. Early in November

True Story OF the Sea.

Buffeted about by the fierce winds of
the Pacific and Atlantic, chased thou
sands of miles out of her course by the
typoons of the Chinese seas: drifting
helplessly where the idle breezes might
send her, while her crew was slowly
dying of the horrible scourge. scuryy,
the American clipper r. f. Cakes was
towed into port at New York after 26O
days of ceaseless struggle with the ad-
verse winds, the horrors of a floating
charnel-house and under the control of
a mad-Or seemingly mad-commander.
Two hundred and seventy days from
Shanghai for New York is the remark
able record made by the unfortunate
vessel. Ten months nearly elapsed
from the time she spread her sails and
started on her voyage before her sick
and dying crew found relief. Twice
during all of this time she was within
sight of some other vessel, but once
only did she get within hail.
With her sails whipped to ribbons by
the North Atlantic gale of two weeks

WHlTEFlSH POINT LIGHT.
Established in 1877, 1t Marks a Most
Dangerous Locality.

There are many good lighthouses on
the chain of lakes. but none of more
Importance to mariners than the one
at Whitefish Point, which is a beacon
of safety to the thousands of craft
which annually ply to and from Lake
Superior. There, too, is located a
steam whistle, which sends out its
notes of warning at regular intervals
during heavy weather when the light
is indiscernable, this making it impos-
sble for the hardy mariners to lose
their bearings or run their boats ashore,
If ordinary judgment is used, says the
500 News. This signal plant belongs
to the Government, which. of course,
also maintains it. Three men are re-
quired to operate it, Capt. Chas. KIM

ball, the principal keeper, has been in
the service tWenty-fOur years. The
other keepers are Charles Schulz and
d. e. Harrison, first and second assist
ants respectively.
The light station at Whtefish Point
was first established in 1917 The old
dwelling is standing yet. n queer old
fashioned stone building, with large
fireplace at each end of the main part,
and one at the end of the small kitchen,
which extends back from the side and
is flush with the end of the main por-
ton. The small stone tower which
stood in front Of this small building
was torn down when the present tower
and dwelling was built in 1852. Dur
ing the season of 1895 the present
dwelling was rebuilt and made into a
double house. The cut herewith shows
the building and tower. as they now
look. In February, 1896, an entirely
new outfit was placed in the tower,
which. though rated as Il third order
light, is one Of the strongest on the
lakes, and the first on the lakes which
curry. The burner is a second order,
and with the new lens, is about 10000
candle power. The lens is shaped like
butter bowl, is five feet in diameter
and stands on edge. The prisms are
arranged in circular form with Il large
bulls-eye in the center, which concen-
trates the rays and throws out bright
light similar to search light. The
table upon which the lens sits weighs
with lens, lamp. etc, over ton, and
instead of resting ana revolving on
wheels, rests on a bed of mercury. 1t
makes a revolution every five seconds,
showing a bright white fash at each
revolution. The mercury pot is made
double. and is two and One-half feet in
diameter by one foot deep. The upper
half is bolted to the table. the lower
half holding about 100 pounds of mer-
curry. A shaft extends down from the
table through the pot to the clock
work to steady and drive the table. The
clock work is run by a weight of 200
pounds. The first steam whistle at TINS
station was placed about twenty-five
years ago.

Lights that Guide In the Night" Lieut.
Ellicott says: One seldom thinks, when
he watches the brightly cheering and
safely guiding light of a lighthouse,
what ceaseless watching and patient
heroism it takes to keep the light burn
ing year in and year out through all
WeatherS. Generally there for each
light only keeper with two assistants.
and often the keeper is assisted only by
his wife, sons, or daughters. Even the
most comfortably situated lighthouses
are generally on lonely headlands, with
no human dwelling near Others are
on outlying rocks. or islands swept by
the sea. and wholly cut off from the
land except in fair weather There
are even few which, built upon sunk
en- reefs. seem to rise from the very bed
of the ocean. and against which storm
driven seas break with shocks which
shake them to their foundations. Such
are the EddyStOne Lighthouse, off the
coast Of England at the entrance to
the English Channel. and our own
Minots Ledge Light, near the entrance
to Boston Harbor These two are the
most isolated and exposed lighthouses
in the world. They were built at the
utmost peril to human life. Each was
swept away by storms after compile
ton and had to be rebuilt.

ago, drifting rapidly away from the
steamer which was bearing down on
her with the purpose of reSculng the
survivors, the Cakes was a toatlng
charnel, a specter on the high seas
where death ruled. Only four persons
aboard that doomed ship-the captain,
Edward B. Reed; his wife and the two
ranking OfficerS-Were able to leave
their hunks when the Kasbec made the
heroic and successful effort to rescue
them from certain death. They were
sick upto death, their limbs swollen
out of all semblanee to humanity, their
parched and scaling skins blue ana
black with the ravages Of the leproSy
of the seas. Hope had long since de-
parted, and but for the indomltaDle
will and exceptional strength OF Mrs.
Reed the story of the wreck and rescue
would never have been known.
IT Is another story of the sea from
which painter and poet may draw in
spiration. 1t is a story of hurricane,
intense suffering and death. Its cen
trail figure is heroic woman, one of the
kind that a century produces once
twice, perhaps, but not oftener
The ship should have made the time
In 1870 days When more than the al
lotted time elapsed, and no tidings
came from her, she was given up by her
owners. AS is customary she was re-
insured in course of time, but on March
13 she became unreasonable. week
later the gallant vessel with its heroic
woman pilot was towed into New York
harbor by the British tank steamer
Kasbeck. herself cripple, disabled in
her effort to help the helpless Cakes.
When the Cakes sailed from China
on the glorious day of the anniversary
of American independence, she had on
board twenty-four souls-twenty-three
men and one woman. Six of them
died and were buried at sea; twelve
were sent to the United States Marine
Hospital at Clifton, with scuryy in an
aggravated form, and six have recoV-
cred from the sufferings they endured
on an almost endless voyage.

Cakes made no effort to heave TO, and
II was some time before Second Mate
Abrams could signal to the rescuer
that they were too short-hahHed to
either lower a boat or handle the chip
properly. Help had to be erected
through transferring line 100 fathoms
long and two and one-half inches thick.
After a great deal of hard work to
avoid danger of collision. the haSoek
was rendered almost as helpless as the
vessel she attempted to succor. The
transferring line had wound itself
around the tail-shaft of Captain Muir's
boat and would not uncoil. Nothing
could be done until the nuts were
loosened and turned back enough to
allow the tail-shalt to be pushed out
ward an inch and half. The space
thus made was filed with oakboard
and the nuts screwed back in place.
1t took eight hours to do this. Mean
while the Cakes had drifted away
from her rescuers. In the afternoon Of
Tuesday the Kasbek again started to
look for her, and at that night she
was sighted. Captain Muir slgnaled
her that he would stand by. When the
storm abated fresh provisions were
sent to the Cakes. Another attempt
was made to send a hawser aboard the
Cakes, this time with success. The two
vessels reached Sandy Hook without
further mishap.
