four thrilling rescues, and in the win ter of 1881 she made a supreme and successful effort to save two intoxi- cated soldiers. who had broken through the harbor ice, which was unsafe and treacherous. The woman sped to the aid of the men and skillfully pulled them out Of the water with a rope.
 Many celebrated persons came to see Miss Lewis. She received all with modesty and grace. She was very religious woman and attended services at the Methodist church whenever it was possible for her to leave her post. When she was 35 years old she mar ried a man named Wilson, but slater they separated and she resumed her maiden name.
 Miss Lewis lived alone in a lonely spot for many years, but she often stated that she did not mind it be- cause she loved her work and was fond of books. She also had three dogs at different times. The light keeper received salary of $7.5O per week. which is good pay for the po- SitiOn.

IDA LEWIS KEPT LIME ROCK LIGHT FOR 54 YEARS; SAVED 15
 FROM DROWNING
"Grace Darling of America" Made First Rescues in 1854 and Last Fifty Years Later Dying, She Left Her Medals to Museum

1 Newport. Oct. 26.-All the medals
 and trophies given to Ida Lewis (Mrs. Ida Lewis Wilson,, for her many res- cues from the Lime Rock Light, to- | gether with her boat, Rescue, present. ed by the citizens of Newport forty | two years ago, will be turned over to 1 the Newport Historical Society," as she 1 requested before her death. | The Grace Darling of America" as she was often called, died of apoplexy Tuesday night. She was 72 years old 1 and had kept the light since she was IS years old. In 1907 she celebrated her golden anniversary as keeper. Even before she became. keeper, she had performed all the duties for her father, the former keeper, who was crippled with rheumatism. When 15 years old she saw four young men capsize in a high sea, rowed out from the lighthouse and saved them. In her lifetime she rescued eighteen per- sons.
 Seven years ago, when she was 65 years old, she saw a woman friend, who was coming to visit her, topple out of rowboat. The old woman put out in her small boat, as she had done fifty years before, and pulled her friend from the waves.
 She was showered with gifts for her rescues. Andrew Carnegie gave her pension of $30 a month. Congress gave her a gold medal and in 1875 made her keeper of the light by special act. Preparations are being made for great crowd at her funeral, which will probably be held in the Thomas St. Methodist Church
 Her father, Hosea, was the first keeper of the Lime Rock light, which post he held for twenty-five years. For seventeen of those years however, he was a paralytic and the duties and responsibilities of tending the light fell upon Ida. She performed these duties 80 faithfully and competently that up- on the death of her father she was al- lowed to continue in the care of the light
 In February, 1867. a soldier from Fort Adams capsized in a small boat while trying to cross the harbor in bad weather. When Miss Lewis reached him he was unconscious, and, being unable to lift him into the boat, she lowed him inshore, where he was brought to life.
 In 1869 two soldiers and a boy were swamped in a rowboat and the boy drowned. Miss Lewis discovered the men just in time, and, with. the help of her brother, brought them back to shore.
 In the fall of 1877 Miss Lewis made

Eddie Leonard Is
 Originator Of New : New Singing Style
Healthier at Polls This Week Made Syncopated Song Famous From Coast to Coast

It was approaching the hour for the evening meal and Eddie Leonard, the minstrel man at Polrs this week. was seated at table in the grill room of the Hotel Atlas. On the other side of the table was Mabel Russell. the attractive wife of MT. Leonard. Just as they were about to surround a planked steak, the minstrel man was asked how he came to originate the "wah-wah-wah' style of singing which has made him famous from coast to coast
 It's funny thing about that style of singing, says Leonard, q was the first one to use it but I really can't tell how came to adopt that method. Like Topsy in Uncle Toms Cabin, it just grew. that's all. The first time went into minstrelsy I sang that way.
 'I remember George Primrose of Primrose & West didn't like that style at all. l went out to sing a song and when returned Primrose wanted to know why I didn't sing the words the way they were written instead of putting in all the fancy twists. I can't help it. told Primro ose. T just have to sing it that way
 Primrose. told me to sing the num- Der straight because he didn't think the audience would like my method. They gave me such an enthusiastic re- ception, though, that I was allowed to continue in my own way And that was the origin of the '.wah- wah- wah'' song. I've been singing in that man. ner ever since and. the people have been. very cordial to me an over the country.
 You may have noticed that many vaudeville performers have initiated H. they announce it as an imitation but it seems unfair when performers go on the stage as they sometimes do. and sing my stuff without giving cred 1t to me. Generally, though, the per- former becomes ashamed before the week is over and gives the proper credit''
 ing stage career A native of Man chester, Va, just across the river from Richmond, he went upon the stage, when very young. His first en- gagement was with Haverly's Min strels. Later he was with Thatcher, Primrose & West, Primrose 6 West. Primrose & Dockstader, Dockstader's 8 and then at the head of his own Min strel troupe He has made frequent excursions into vaudeville with great success.
 The audience at Poli's this week have received MT. and Mrs. Leonard with great favor It is the first week he has played this season and he finds himself a trifle stiff in doing dance steps. "I find that the muscles in my legs are sore after doing my dances. but the soreness will disappear after have been going a few weeks" de- clares Leonard.
 Next week MT. and Mrs. Leonard ap- pear at Hammerstein's in New York.

POLI'S.

"You've got to hand 1t to Eddie Leonard. he Is one big hit," is the verdict of the crowds of delighted the. atregoers who leave Polrs after the daily performances. And equally is their satisfaction expressed with thu other big features of the weeks bill, which is lacking In none of the att tractions which so to make an all around well balanced bill of topnotch vaudeville
 are credited with being as clever a singing and piano playing act as any on the boards, and perhaps the pret- tiest of all The girls are all stunning and the gowns they wear are dreams. Incidentally the act unloosens some mighty catchy ragtime songs. For that matter the whole bill is. replete with new ragtime songs and anyone with fancy for this music (and who hasn'tD will be delighted.
 That the Great Howard is the clev- crest ventriloquist who ever played here is. the universal verdict of the theatregoers. His act is so witty and his mannikins 50 naturally operated that it requires little imagination to believe them real. He also performs tho exceedingly difficult feat of mak- ing them talk while he himself an- swers a telephone call. Another test which few ventriioQuists can stand is uHuor8One Uy AVWdTu WAAcA ne DkAnSS one of his dummies into the audience and lets 1t talk there.
 Belle Blanche is not to be denied on this weeks bill and is sure to score a great success at every performance. Last night the audience would not let her leave until she had run the conn h1ete limit of her repertoire and then She was obliged to take several cur- tain calls.
 People who go this week will quick ly learn why it is called the best bill of the season. Some 0 f the other good things on it include Williams and Warner, French music eccentrics: Knapp Brothers, two Bridgeport boys with a catchy and unusual line of comedy; the Electrograph with a number of remarkable and interesting scenes from the Zoo at the Bronx park. New York, and Polls orchestra with excellent music.
