IDA LEWIS'S
LIGHT GOES OUT
Famous Keeper cf'Lime Rock
Dies of Apoplexy.
SAVED MANY FROM THE SEA
For More Than Fifty Years She Had
Kept the Beacon Bright at Danger
Spot in Newport Harbor and Had
Rescued a Score of Persons.

Newport, R. Mrs. Ida Lewis VIII
son. better known as Ida Lewis, keep
err of the Lime Rock Lighthouse tor
ffty-one years and the only woman
in America who had full charge OIL a
lighthouse, is dead.
Her death was caused by apoplexy,
with which she was stricken when she
was preparing to light her itchen ire.
She was found by her brother, Ru-
dolph Lewis, who for he last twenty
five years has made his home with ms
sister at the light. Though every at
tenfion was given she never regained
consciousness.
Ida Lewis received several honors
for her alertness and her bravery
when attending to her duties as light
house keeper. In the fall Oh lS0i she
received from the AmericanaRed Cross
Honor Society its cross of honor and
membership in the order for saving
many lives. A pension also was
awarded her from the Carnegie Hero
Fund for saving eighteen persons from
death.
She was born in Newport on Feb
ruary rs, 1912. Her father was Cap
tain Hosea Lewis and her mother was
the daughter of DR.. Aaron G. Wiley OF
Block Island. She was educated in
this place and when only IS years old
her father was appointed keeper OF
the Lime Rock Lighthouse. In a few
months he was stricken with paraly-
sis. Straightway the daughter as
sumed his duties and nursed her
father until he died. She showed her
ability to attend to the lighthouse n
proved her skill in handling a boat.
She was strong and sturdy, brave and
self-reliant. She then was appointed
keeper.
She rescued four young men in 1858,
when their craft was upset in a storm
more than a mile from the lighthouse.
The daring woman went out alone In
a boat to save them. In one OF the
coolest days of the winter of 1856 she
saw a man freezing in a skiff in the
harbor. She took him to the Qight
house and nursed him. in the autumn
of 1867 she saved the lives of two men
who were hurled from a boat in a
storm. Mrs. Wilson, in 1869, saw W
soldiers being driven helplessly about
in a boat. There was a terrible storm
at the time, but she rowed out to the
imperilled men and, finding both I'M
conscious, put them in her boat and
rowed to the lighthouse in the face
of a heavy wind and tide. The sol
diers were revived by the woman and
recovered. Her heroic rescues attract
ed the attention of the entire country.
The comrades of the two soldiers sent
her a check for 500, and she soon be-
came known as the Grace Darling of
America.

Especial Trenton Correspondence.
Trenton.-Miss Esther Elfreth, of
Haddonfield, the popular president,
and the other officers of the New Jer-
sey w. c. T. u, were unanimously
reelected at the annual convention at
Woodstown. Beside Miss Elfreth the
officers are: Corresponding secretary,
Mrs. l. H. Demarest, Gloucester; re-
cording secretary, DR.. Eva M. Lake,
Arlington; treasurer, Miss Ida Lillian
Page, Hoboken. Twenty-eight dele
gates were elected for the National
Association convention to be held in
Milwaukee, the city made Infamous
by beer" as a delegate put it. The
white ribbons had the most interest
ing convention in years, all the re-
ports showing marked growth and en-
couragement for their work, despite
the suggestion of the Rev. E. A. Was
son, at the Liquor Dealers League
convention at Atlantic City that in
twenty years America will be a ma
ton of drinkers. The women con-
nected with the w. c. T. U. have no
such idea of existing conditions. They
are able to see marked advances in
the cause of temperance, and they
propose to forge ahead with all old
time enthusiasm that made for sue
cess in other years. At the diamond
medal contest the Opera House held
the largest audience i'll its history, and
many persons were turned away I'M
able to gain admittance. Miss E. H.
Goodwin presided, and the contest
ants were Miss Ada F. Harris, New
field; Miss Rebecca c. Barrett, AL
monesson; Miss Leola Moore, Ocean
Grove, and Edwood L.. Haines,
Swedesboro. Miss Barrett was de-
clared the winner. One of the fea-
lures of the convention was the adj
dress of Mrs. Edith Smith Davis, ma
tional superintendent of scientific tenn
