Pastor Is Some Farmer.

Sandusky, O.-Not satisfied with
the good work he is doing in saving
souls, Rev. c. H. Schoepfe, of Birm-
ingham, has set out to show the far
mers of this neighborhood that his
duties are not so arduous but that
they give him time to work a few
wonders in agriculture
Considerable rivalry has been. ex-
cited among the farmers Of this
neighborhood in ability to grow
prodigies in the various agricultural
products. 1t was started early this
fall when Frank Kuhl produced some
enormous ears of corn. Others sprang
up from time to time to claim recog-
milton, but Rev. Mr. Schoepfe bided
his time. The secret of his plans
came to light when he drove to town

congress and on the first resolution day of the
first session of the thirtieth congress-on Jan
uary 3, 1S4S, to be exact-he introduced in the
national legislature the measure which laid the
foundation of our Lfe-saving Service.
The national government now maintains up
ward of three hundred lfe-saving stations dis
trlbuted on the coasts of the Atlantic, the Pa
cltic, the Gulf of Mexico and the Great Lakes.
Each of these stations is named by crew Of
from six to eight surfmep-hardy and fearless
fellows Who are splendid specimens of physical
manhood and who skilled in handling boats in
angry seas and in manipulating the various me-
chan1cal appliances which Uncle Sam provides
as aids to the Drawn and the quick wits of our
coast patrolmen in the dangerous task of cheat
ing the deep Of its prey. For devotion to duty
that necessitates eternal vigilance and the most
fatguing service the lfe-savers receive the mod
est wage OF $50 per month Moreover they re-
ceive that pay for any nine months year. the
crews being laid off during June, July and Au-
gust at which season severe storms and wrecks
are almost unknown. Should life-saver be in
jured during his summer 'lay-off" he not only
cannot get back into the service but he cannot
under existing conditions draw any pension or
retirement pay, matter how many years he
has faithfully served the nation.
The vast majority of rescues effected by the
Hfe-saving crews accomplished by means of
hfeboats or surfboats. These stanch craft which
as now manufactured, are almost unsuitable are
the ideal vehicles for taking considerable mum
bers of persons from imperiled vessels in lin
tied space of time. If the patrolman who in his
vlglls on the beach discovers vessel ashore and
hastens to the lfe-saving station for assistance,
reports that the of boat is practicable eth
ed the large lifeboat is launched from its ways
in the station and proceeds to the wreck by wa
ter, or the lighter surfboat is hauled overland to
point opposite the wreck and launched as cir
cumstances may dictate. Formerly all of these
boats were propelled by oars and many of them
yet are. but latterly there have been introduced
big motor lifeboats, which are vast improve

NOTED CAREER ENDS
John BigeIoW, a Famous DipIo.
lnatist and Author.
Fame Won as Editor and Representa-,
tive Of America in France Dur.
Ing Civil War-His Lies
Span 81 Years.

New York.-John Bigelow, ST., Dip
iomatist and author, died at his home
In this city, aged ninety-four years.
Mr.. Bigelow, sometimes termed the
first gentleman of New York." was
almost the last connecting link be-
tween, the great men of the first half
OF the nineteenth century and the
present day. Born at Maiden, Ulster
county, N. Y, in 1877, of a well-known
family, he was prominently associated
with the great men and the determin-
Ing movements of the country during
his entire life. T.
In 1S49, at the invitation of William
Cullen Bryant, Mr.. Bigelow became
an editor of the New York Evening
Post, in which position he continued
until 1860. Under his editorship the
paper came to great influence
Sainte Beuve's critical letters were
published under his supervision. Walt
Whitman was reporter and later a
war correspondent under Mr.. Bigelow
Artemus Ward worked for the paper
at the time; and it was at this period
that 'Bret Harte was remarkably
regular at the office on pay days."
Mr.. Bigelow's series Of articles on
the effects of slavery in the West In
dies worked up some of the feeling
which made Lincoln't election pos
sible in 1860, and at the emancipator's
urging the editor went as minister to
France during the trubulous times of
the civil war
In France Mr.. Bigelow succeeded to
much sthe same power and position
that Benjamin Franklin and Thomas
Jefferson had held more than SO years
previously.
It was at this time that Mr.. Bige-
low discovered Franklin's "Autobiog-
raphy,' Of which he edited the author
itative edition. Later life of Ben
jamin Franklin" was written and
edited.
Mr.. Bigelow was appointed an ex-
ecutor of the estate of Samuel J. TIL
den, and in addition to his ordinary

duties as an executor he undertook
those of the literary administrator.
Tilden's writings" were published
and later life of Samuel J. Tilden"
was written.
During all this time constant
stream of magazine article, pamphlets
and books were coming from the am
bassador-editor. His literary activi-
ties were frequently interrupted by
other political appointments and hon
orary positions given him, but since
1857 his main thought was given to
his writings.
His Life of William Cullen Bry-
ant" with whom he was associated so
many years, was published in 1893,
and in 1908, at the age Ct ninety-one
years, his greatest work. *'Retrospec-
lions of an Active Life" was publish
ed in three volumes. Btgelow's
"retrospections' covered more than
half of the life of the nation.
To the very last Mr.. Bigelow kept
a clear head and an active mind for
all the problems of the nation, writ
ing with the ease and the elegance Of
the older school and with an accuracy
all his own on every subject that in
terests him.
Two sons Of the aged author, Major
John Bigelow, Jr., of the United
States army, and Poultney Bigelow,
the writer, have attained distinction
in their respective fields. Mr.. Bige-
low was trustee Of the New York
public library, of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art and member of many
learned and honorary societies in this
country and abroad.

cumstances recourse Is had to the wreck gun
and beach apparatus with a view to carrying on
rescue work through the fundamentally of the
breeches buoy or the life car. First of all a
shot with line attached Is fired across the
stranded vessel by means of powerful little
mortar snubnosed cannon which will hurl a
line over wreck 400 yards distant, even in the
teeth OF a gale. With this preliminary line in
their possession the crew of shipwrecked craft
can quickly haul out larger line and finally a
three-inch hawser. Attached to the hawser is a
board which bears in English on one side and in
French on the other instructions as to how to
make the hawser fast to mast or the best place
that be found.
When the shpwrecked mariners signal that
they nave obeyed instructions to fastening the
haWser the lfe-savers on shore haul the haWser
taut and perhaps elevate the shore end by means
of a tripod in order to lift it we'll clear of the
water after which there is sent off to the ship
breaches buoy, suspended from traveller block
or a life depending from rings running on
the hawser Only one person at a time can be
landed by the breaches buoy but from four to six
people can be carried ashore at each trip of tho
life car. Whichever be the vehicle EMPLOYED the
trips continue until all the impered persons are
safely ashore, after which an ingenious mechan-
ical device known the hawser cutter is drawn
out to the wreck along the galloway and upon
arriving at the terminus of the hawser auto
matlcally cuts the rope, allowing the life-savers
to haul it ashore and thus preserve intact val
liable part of their apparatus
Ambitious inventors are constantly devsing
new forms of apparatus for the use of the United
States Hfe-saving crews. Indeed these inven-
tons are so numerous that the federal govern
ment has felt obliged to create board of experts
whose special duty it is to test novelties and who
hold such trials several times a year However,
not many of the ideas that are advanced
prove practicable, for the exacting conditions OF
the rough and ready service involved and the
above mentioned classes of apparatus continue to
be the standbys which our life-savers place
the greatest dependence. However, there has
latterly been an advance in facilities for signal
Ing and there is now in use a form Of beach light
SO powerful as an illuminant that 1t enables one
to read the face OF q watch at distance Of more
than nine hundred feet

Athenian prisoners were confined and
left to die of hunger and thirst. This
happened in 413 B. c., when the Athe-
mans under Nicias and Demosthenes
were defeated by the Syracusans, who
were aided by the Spartans. History
records that the ships of the Athe-
mans were destroyed and about 3d.
600 men killed, while 5000 were made
prisoners. The quarries where the
prisoners were placed to perish so
miserably cover many acres in extent,
having been hewn from the solid
rock by a multitude Of slaves. Tradi-
ton does not say whether they are
haunted, but it would be no matter
for surprise if the spirits of those
old Athenian soldiers yet hung around
the scene Of their greatest misery
watching for chance to get even
with some one.

HAS HISTORIC PAST
Harper's Ferry One of the Cour
try's Interesting Towns.
Quaint, Picturesque and Almost
Foreign Village in the Shenan-
doah Valley Has Promi-
nent Place in History.

Harper's Ferry, Va.-Among the
many interesting towns in the Unit
ed States, none is more quaint, pic
turesque and almost foreign than
Harper's Ferry. Everywhere the new
screams at the old, while the old
retaliates with silence, conscious that
its appeal to the imagination is pre-
ponderant. Through the business por-
ton of the little town, runs Susque-
hanna street, extending from the sta
ton to the river from which it takes
it's name and uniting with the road
which extends for many miles down
the valley. The first impression
gained of the town, is from this
street, and if one is looking for the
modern "City Beautiful" disappoint-
ment will surely result for this an
Gent street has tales to tell, and me-
mOries to cherish.
1t is history which claims atten-
ton, even before the station is out of
sight. Hardly ten steps distant is
the monument erected on the spot
where John Brown took refuge in the
old engine house. There, too are the
tablets which tell all about it, though
the Fort" itself, after visiting the
Worlds fair at Chicago, and rusticat-
ing for a few years at Kate Fields
summer home on the Susquahanna,
has now found a permanent abid-
ing place on the grounds of Storer
college.
A stones throw from the station
a structure whose horizontal slabs,
wrinkled with age, spill over the
sidewalk and women, babies, dogs
and dirt, fighting for supremacy on
the stone doorsteps, tell with the
eloquence of action of the decadence
wrought by the passing years. 1t

fury that it's hospitable doors first
opened to the tired wayfarer, it's

and partly of rough-hewn boards, the
small house once served as a village
inn, before it's older looking competi-
tor had dreamed of entering the
field. It was here that Washington
and some Of his officers were several
times entertained. It is now the
home of ''Uncle Joe.'
It was earlier still that the town
received it's name. When Robert

came to the place in 1747, there was

'"The Hole" in Shenandoah street.
Harper, in love with the beauty of
the location, bought out Stevens, set
tied in his house and established the
ferry from which the town takes it's
name. In Its, or whereabouts, he
erected the old brick house on High
street, in which he lived till his
death in 1882, and which, half-buried
in ivy, still stands, a fitting monu-
ment to the good judgment Of the
old pioneer.
Ten years later, when the govern.
ment needed a site for an arsenal,
Washington chose Harper's Ferry.
In those days water power was even
more important than it is at pres
ent, and in this particular the loca-
ton was unrivaled. The place could

the rocky bed Of the Potomac and
its swift current precluded naviga-

by the Chesapeake and Ohio COM
pany in transporting coal from Cum,

SOME OF WARS HORRORS
Cruel Death of the Prisoners in the
Stone Quarries of Ancient
SYRACUSE.

0yIoSOSCs
London.-All the horrors of war
have not been eliminated in these
modern days by any means, although
fighting between nations is becoming
less frequent and less ferocious than
of old. Today no nation would be
permitted to deliberately starve to
death it's prisoners, for instance, as
was done in ancient Syracuse. We
have passed the rude, barbaric age, it
seems, but there is room for further
improvement, for all that.
The picture shown herewith has
the appearance of quiet, peaceful
days, yet it is a wonder that the
rocks are not covered with red
streaks, for it was in these old quar-
ries near Syracuse that some 5000
