Who was Blind Tom?

A musical prodigy, a blind and al
most idiotic negro born in 1856 of
slave parents near Columbus, Ca,
and called Thomas Bethune after his
master. His musical genius attracted
wide attention, and from 1861 he was
frequently exhibited in New York. He
was able, after single hearing, to
render even complicated music on the
plano. After playing, he generally
sprang up and applauded himself
vociferously. He reappeared on the
stage in New York in 190405, but he
was difficult to manage, and his grow
ing mental infir1nity caused his final
withdrawal, and he died in Hoboken,
N. j.. in 1908.

NEW YORK. Feb. 5.-An e,
 empnncation or American ingenuity and desire to give service was the recent catching of steamer by Miss Ruth Williamson. Miss Williamson was desirous of getting to London because of the illness Of her mother, and had booked passage on the s. s. America, of the United States Lines.
 When Miss Williamson arrived at
 the pier with her baggage, she found
 to her dismay, that the vessel was well on it's way to the open sea.
 Miss Williamson had been visiting
 in Chicago when she received cable
 calling her to her mothers bedside.
 She immediately telegraphed for ac-
 commentators aboard the America.
 and boarded train for New York. The train arrived late, and the young woman with her luggage rushed to
 the pier in a taxicab. Upon her ar
 rival she found that the America had
 passed the Statue of Liberty. and
 was headed for the broad Atlantic. Realizing the strained predicament 'of the young woman, officials of the United States Lines called into sery- lice speedy tug-boat. The young woman was quickly escorted aboard |the tug. and the rush after the liner began. The shrill whistling of the tug boat attracted the attention of the officers aboard the fast-travelling ? America, and the word was taken to Captain William Rind, Commander |Qboard the bridge of the ship, who (dmmediately ordered the engine room To slacken speed, and in few min- lufes the tug-boat had arrived along- !Dide the great ocean hner.
The Alaska daily empire., 1923-02-05
Congratulated by Captain.

A rope ladder was lowered from
 one of the lower decks of the Amer ica, and the plucky Miss Williamson,
 without further aid, proceeded to chamber upward to the deck, where she was greeted by the purser. Her
 baggage was raised up on the end of
 rope. During the operation, large
 crowd of passengers on the America climbed the rails, and cheered the
 brave girls act. Captain Rind was so impressed with the young ladys cour-
 age that he sent for her from the bridge, and personally paid his con-
 pliments.
 Big steamships depart on schedule time, and with all the promptness of Ia railroad train. It is disconcerting to the officials when travellers arrive late, but through various circum- stances, this sometimes happens. The passengers only hope then, is to be
 taken aboard a tug in pursuit of the
 steamer. The majority of women hesitate about undertaking such a venture, but Miss Williamson gave ample testimony that she, as mem Der of the so-callcd weaker sex, was capable of the bravery of the strong CT.
 During Miss Williamson's boarding of the vessel, and after she was re- ceived by Captain Rind on the bridge of the vessel, scores of amateur photographers took snapshots of the young lady. Among the photographs sent pack to shore aboard the tug was one showing the young lady being congratulated by the commander of the biz liner.
