Walker said: 'sIn reviewing the life of
IngersolI it seems to me his influence
was three International or political,
religious and domestic.
His political influence must first be
considered, for it was politics which
first brought him national fame. On
the day wher. in the Republican con-
vention of 1875. he rose to urge the
nomination of James G.. Blaine for the
presidency of the United States, his
reputation ceased to be a merely local
one and in a short half hour he be-
came distinctly national, and so for
more than twenty years his name has
been known to all his countrymen-
THE whole country had eagerly ac-
claimed him in his political capacity
before it had a chance to see and hear
him in his role of theological icono-
ciast, and those who had listened to his
eloquence as a political advocate could
not refuse to hear him on other topics.
Thus il came about that 1ngerSol de-
livered his attacks on Christianity be-
fore audiences made up, in part at
least, of Intelligent serious minded, in
fiuential men. and women
'.'rhe doctrine of love which Inger-
soil taught is really Christianity of the
highest type. Love was the great cor
ner-stone of his life. He was also a
passionate and appreciative lover of art
and music. But above all ne was a De-
lever in the holiness and sanctity of
marriage and detested with all his heart
any doctrine that should tend to de-
stroy the home and family.
Notwithstanding his lack of faith
in the Christian religion he believed he
was doing all in his power to make the
government of this world better. and to
create more thought and less supersti-
ton, less prayer and more help, and
above all ana over all more liberty and

ARDrs SON POSSESSES.
Conspicuous Gallantry Displayed By
the Young Ensign In Saving the
Lines During Storm at Porto Rico

Washington, Nov. 1S.-The navy de-
partment has given out an account of
the conspicuous gallantry of Ensign w.
r. Gherardi in the recent terrific hur-
ricane which swept across Porto Rico.
1t was forwarded by Captain Snow,
commanding the United States naval
station in San Juan, who inclosed let
tiers of Lieutenant Colonel Carr of the
Fifth cavalry and others concerning
the daring exploit.
The statement forwarded to the de-
partment shows that when the storm
was at its height. Ensign Gherardi and
H. J. Jimines, a civil engineer, ran
along the beach to the. point where the
shipping was dragging anchors through
the terrific force of the wind. The
schooner Conception, loaded with $50
emigrants from San Domingo. and the
steamer Visasco were in great distress.
Some of the passengers were jumping
overheard. The statement goes on as
follows:
"Gherardi at once plunged into the
water with his clothes on and began
dragging the unfortunateS from the
waves and bringing them to the shore.
He ordered those on board to throw a
life line to the shore, so as to make it
fast but they were so terrorized that
they were unable to do anything but
jump into the water. where they were
taken out by Gherardi and Jimines and
brought to the shore. There were from
four to six people, women and children.
who did not dare to jump into the wa
ter. They were told to do so, but re-
manned where they were and were I'M
doubtedly lost. as the schooner went to
pieces.
1.-The rescued numbered nearly $50
souls. The steamer Visasco was then
battling with the waves a few hundred
yards off. Gherardi called for a life
line and, forming party of rescuers
in a line, joining hands, extending out
into the water, himself at the head, he
soon had hold of the line and. bring
ing it to the shore. fastened the end
securely to neighboring tree. The
crew climbed down and along the line
and were safely landed
Ensign Gherardi is a son of Rear Ad-
miral Gherardi, retired.
