SxVTURDAY, MAY 21, 1904.
The Trenton ‘True American” sums
up President Roosevelt’s career in the
following terms:—
If what he has done had been done
for the success of his party, and the con
tinuance of its principles, tiiere might be
some excuse for his course. But from
■the first he has asserted himself as
above and beyond the party which made
him President; from the first he has
trampled upon those leaders of the party
whose ideas differed from his ambition;
from the first he has been for Roosevelt
first, for Roosevelt last and for Roose
velt ali the time; from the first he has
traded and dickered with party leaders,
'whom he could not bully; he has forced
a race issue within touch of a race war;
he has violated the Constitution to force
his satellites into office; he has assailed
the House; has condemned the Senate;
has violated the most sacred doctrine of
international law established for the pro
tection of the weak—and all, that Theo
dore Roosevelt may receive another term
as President!
That the American people as a whole
are morally degenerating is the opinion
of Dr. Charles Cutbbert Hall, president
of Union Theological Seminary, New
York, who made a brief address before
members and friends of the Religious
Educational Association at the Art In
stitute Chicago yesterday.
“We all rejoice in the remarkable
growth and tiie excellent features of
American civilization,” he said, “and we
are pleased at the relatively good state
of the common morality of the people,
but a deeper examination of the social
side of our American iife reveals a sit
uation that causes anything but satisfac
tion. It is a matter of consternation and
deep concern to us that the moral stand
ard of American life is deteriorating. In
the hustle and bustle of every day activ
ity we have astonished the world, but,
morally we are rapidly going astern—
»o rapidly that one is dumfounded at the
Contrast after a visit to some of the
countries of the old world.
“I am an optimist through and
through, but I am not a stone-blind op
timist. I feel and I know from observa
tion that religion has little, if any. part
in our American civilization today. This
is a lamentable state of affairs and it be
hooves each and all of us to do all we
can to help to stem this tide of indiffer
ence. Our home life is not what it
should be. and it is not to be pondered
at when we realize the general apathy of
the people as regards their spiritual wel
fare.”

It’s a aiga that the blood la deficient

MajMilo Theatre.
At the Majestic Theatre “The Man
From China” has won popular favor
and it is now nightly packing the house.
Some of the alterations in the cast and
action of the piece have made it more
compact without in any way spelling
the fun producing effects. Miss Marie
Tyler has been given the finale song in
the last act and the management has
discovered that she possessed a beauti
ful voice. Miss Tyler has had a small
part as one of the “Matrons,” and only
recently it was made known to Melville
E. ’Raymond, the owner of the produc
tion, that she had singing parts in Eon
don. Being a man who fosters talent,
be decided to let her have a trial in the
finale song. She was an immediate hit.
Many remarked on the wonderful power
of her voice. It could be heard above
tbe full chorus of men and women and
the blare of the orchestra just before the
final curtain.
Miss Stella Alayliew lias added a new
verse to her song, "Fifty-seven Ways to
Win a Alan." It concerns a little Irish
Indy, who. In order to gain the affections
of one Brady, sings to him wonderful
comaul.ves. Aiiss Alayhew’s expressive
countenance and resonant voice have
made the new verse one of the choicest
hits. ,
In the piece last night Air. Bigelow
burst forth in the full glory of a new
yachting cap. It was as big as a four
leaf eloTer and perched on the top of
his remarkable head and caused the
audience to break into paroxysms of
laughter. Mr. Bigelow is improving his
funny business at each performance and
throughout the action of the piece gains
a thousand laughs. “The Man From
China” can very easily stay at the Ma
jestic all summer.
NEW PUBLICATIONS.
Maeterlinck'* Study of the Dog.
A delightful holiday book is announc
ed by Dodd, Alead and Company for pub
lication in the fall, viz.: an illustrated
edition of Alaurice Maeterlinck’s “Our
Friend, the Dog." This is to be issued in
a most sumptuous form, with sympathet
ic illustrations by Paul J. Aleylan, and
decorations by Charles B. Falls. This
exquisite little sketch marks, in the opin
ion of many, the highest level of Maeter
linck’s literary achievement. It is char
acterized by a keenness and accuracy of
observation and fulness of sympathy
with its subject which will cause it to
appeal to all friends of the dog. It is
safe to say that very little that has ever
been written about the dog portrays his
nature so faithfully.
A Maw Writer.
Dodd, Mead and Company will bring
| out, early in the fall, a novel by a new
| writer, Emily Post, who is a daughter of
the late Bruce Price, the well-known
Xew York” architect. The story is en
titled “The Flight of a Moth.”
It is a charming and altogether de
lightful tale, dealing with the old theme
of an American woman who has a great
social success abroad, and who is im
mensely admired because of her versa
tility. beauty and tact. The theme how
ever, is treated in an entirely novel man
ner, and is consistently fresh from cover
to cover. '
The book mirrors remarkably well the
social life of European capitals; the
humor is crisp and the author is abso
lutely at home in writing of the social as
pects of London and Paris, and the
amusing existence in a French country
house.

LIGHTHOUSE TO SAFEGUARD TRAFFIC
Captain Eels Has Plans for
\i
the Construction of Build*
lags and Work Will
Begin at Once.
Writing recently in the Boston “Trans
cript,’’ Winthrop Packard tells of an en
gineering feat, which if accomplished,
would be one of the marvels of modern
craft, “Surely there is one man in Bos
ton who has the full courage of his con
victions,” he -writes. ‘That man is Cap
tain Albert F. Eells. To risk half a mil
lion of money and his reputation as an
Inventor and contractor in attempting to
do what very able engineers, backed by
tiie resources of the United States Gov
ernment have again and again essayed
and ignominiousl.v failed to accomplish,
in other words, to erect the maintain a
lighthouse on the tip of Diamond Shoal.
Cape Hatteirts: this is the task that the
Captain had set himself. The govern
ment experts expects do not believe that
lie can dot it; the atitnde of Congfreess
toward the mater shows this. Thus the
the affair is so araruged that if he fails
the failure is complete and the loss en
tirely his own. To suceed he must not
only bulid the lighthouse, which is to
be one ofthe lragest inthe world, but
must maintain it it a year at his own
expense. Then it must stand unmoved
and satisfactory in every particular four
years more under government manage
ment. If at the end ofthat time the
careful inspection of . the Lighthouse
Board proves the result .satisfactory,
then,, nnd uot until then he receives a
handsome sum, $590,000, probably en
ough to give theaudicious contractor a
good profit on his investment. The gov
ernment experts evidently beJive the case
a hopeless one. They will authorize the
success. But Captain Eell's offer and
expendiute of no more money in trials;
they are wiling to pay only for proved
the methods by which he hopes to suc
ceed are so novel and so generously
plucky that has not only Congress con
sented to his terms, but the eyes of en
gneers of the world over will be on the
struggle till it succed* or the attempt has
ben abandoned. What win be the result
it is going to take at least six years to
tel. Perhaps more if the doughty Cap- j
tain fails in his first essays and has the
tenacity to keep on trying.
‘The meu who go down to the sea in
ships know Halt eras well, and the stout
est hearted of them approach its dread*
ful shoals with anxiety and fear. It has
been the bugbear of the Atlantic marin
ers since the first discovery of the coun
try. A lighthouse stands on the tip of
the mainland already, but for ten miles
to seward of its stretch shifting sandbars
having only nine or ten feet of water on
them, and white surf even on the mild
est days. This stretch of ten miles ends
in Diamond Shoal and is known as the
great graveyard of the Atlantic. Be
neath its turbulent sands lies hundreds
and hundreds of the staunchiest ships
that ever sailed the sea. As an example
I of what the storm does to a ship the mo
1 ment her keel touches these sands, the
case of the wreck of the schooner Wes
ley M. Oler may be cited. This ship was
of over a hundred tons, the pride of the
bath ship yard that launched' her and a
splendid specimen of her class. She
came north under tow of a powerful tug
and (net a gale off_ the dreaded cape,
i Here the cable parted and the tug lust
her. She was seen ill the rift of the
storm by the watching surftaen who
couid do nothing to aid her even had
there been time. But there was no time
So short was the time between the mo
ment when she struck and when she dis
appeared from view that not only Were
all her crew' lost, but the watch heiow
decks were found later washed ashore
in their night clothes, drowned immedi
ately in their bunks before they had
time to realize the danger.
“In the years between 1875 and 1902
the record shows that ninety-seven
wrecks occurred here, with a loss of
sijty-two lives and $3,000,000 worth of
property. The Government has done
what it could. The hardy and fearless
men of the Life Saving Service are sta
tioned on the sandy coast facing the
shoal, but in the boil of the shallow
sea they are well nigh powerless to save
lives or property. The shore light is
one of the best, showing a great white
flash at intervals of ten seconds, a flash
that is visible twenty miles at sea in
clear weather. Fifteen miles at sea is
the Diamond Shoal lightship, whose
electric lights show for ten miles on a
bright night. But Hatteras is the abode
of fog and gales. The moisture laden
air of the Gulf Stream here meets the
cool winds of the northwest, and turmoil
and thick weather result. The lightship
is of the largest class, held by mushroom
anchors weighing 5,000 pounds, but nb
lightship can hold the position at times,
no matter what the pattern or weight of
her anchors, and again and again the
present one has been swept away, leav
ing the storm-tossed mariner no mark to
warn him of the terrible shoal when
most- he needs it. So fiercely does the
surf beat here that mariners say that
were Diamond Shoal 200 feet high in
stead of below the sea leTel its top
would yet be white with foam in a Hat
ter .is gale. \
“Tes such is the location of Cape Hat
teras that all vessels coming north from
the Florida Straits, from all ports with
in the Gulf, must take it in order to
shape their course aright to havens far
ther north. They need to sight Hatteras
to get their bearings and to pass far to
seaward of it is to make vexations de
lays and take a much longer course, be
sides beiug uncertain of their position in
weather when the sun does not appear
for a “sight," and that is most of the
time off Hatteras. Hence the crying
need of a lighthouse on the top of Dia
mond Shoal.
“In 1SS9 the Government appropriated
$200,000 for this purpose, it being speci
fied that in any event the total sum
spent should not exceed $500,000. The
first essay was made With a huge cais
son, built at Norfolk, Va. When this
was finished, on a day when the weather
seemed most favorable, it was success
fully towed to the famous shoal and
seemingly placed in a secure position on
the sands. The plan was to work from
the interior of this caisson, lifting sand
until it should sink to a sufficient depth
to form a secure foundation for the pro
jected tower. But there Was one seri
ous defect in the form of this structure.
Its sides were perpendipular and the cur
rents, striking these, dived and immedi
ately began to undermine it, scouring
the sand from beneath. Hardly was it
in position before the jealous gales rush
ed to reinforce the attack of the under
mining currents and in a few hours the
great waves were washing over it with
unexampled fury. The currents dug and
burrowed beneath it, twisting it from the
foundations themselves; then the waves
hammered and lifted and crushed it in
pieces, scattering the fragments far and
wide in a single night. By no human
power could men remain on the scene
and make effort to stay the destruction,
After all, the thing I

a
and when morning dawned the structure
had Tanished nor was a single fragment
ever found.
“In 1894 the Lighthouse Board renew
ed the attempt. Pile driving machinery
on a floating structure of pontoons was
towed to the spot and it was determined
to sink tubular piles of steel by means of
a water jet whieh should bore into the
sand and let the piles down until they
were firmly imbedded. But again wave
and current and wind wrought havoc.
It was impossible to strike a period of
on in; sufficient to get the worn even
fairly established. The wives hammer
ed the lashings of the pontoons till they
went adrift, the currents carried them
was impossible to recover them, and
they were lost as the caisson had been.
The piles which were already in place
were bent and twisted and torn out by
the sea. and after many vigorous but
futile efforts which covered a period of a
year the shoal was triumphant and re
mained unmarked by even a buoy to
show the scene of the titanic struggle.
Later an elaborate scheme was deyjsed
to form a circular breakwater by sinking
willow fascines in bundles, which were
expected to accumulate silt and remain
imbedded, raising a permanent barrier
of sand within which the work might
go on safe frem the sea. This is the
method of forming embankments in Hol
land, and was successfully used by Cap
tain Eads in making the jetties at the
mouth of the Mississippi River.
“I find no record that this scheme ever
got beyond the paper stage. If it did
come to actual trial it failed, like all
others, and until the present day Dia
mond Shoal remains untenanted save by
the wrecks which still occur on it at the
rate of from one to three a year. There
have been at least twelve since 1894,
only one year failing of a record, 1895,
and as if to make up this leniency there
were three in 1S96.
“After that the lightship was estab
lished and was certainly been a great
help to mariners, for in ordinary weath
er it gives them a mark fifteen miles
farther at sea, several miles outside the
limit of danger. But the lightship is in
adequate, having neither sufficient height
nor certain permanency. In the worst
gales, when it is most desperately need
ed, it stands a fair chance of being
adrift its absence at such times greatly
increasing the danger. Hardly a Winter
goes by but it is blown off. The only
way to secure a permanent marker is to
build a solid and permanent tower on
this shoal itself, hence the task which
Captain Ellis has set himself.
“But the terrible storms and the thick
weather are not the only difficulties in
the way of the completion of this task.
Human ingenuity in lighthouse building
has surmounted these in many places.
To them must be added the varying and
treacherous currents. The Gulf Stream
Sweeps northward here at a rapid but
uncertain rate, sometimes fou knots an
hour.
In the turmoil of the shoals it races
and twists in a hundred unexpected ways
no tawo days alike. It carries the sand
banks form one palce to another, and
where today is an island topped with
foaming surf, to morrow the bewildered
naviga* finds five fathoms of water,
while beneath it ail are the shifting
quicksands, with no rock foundation at
any depth.
“For the overcoming of these difficul
ties Captin Eells proposes to embark on
a plan that is as novel as it is audacious
Where no rock is to he found he plans
to build one, so solid and so immovably
fixew that like Gibraltar itself it will
defy the sear It shall be placed so low
in the shifting sands that the sea can
not get beneath to undermine it and its
shape will be such that the currents in
stead will deposit more sand about it,
thus fighting for instead of against him.
Its proposed shape will do this. It has
been shown that the perpendicular sides
of the caisson placed on the shoal years
ago helped the currents to dive beneath
and scour away the sand. Th -proposed
rock is to have sdlanting sides like those
of a bell, so that the currents striking
it will be deflected upward instead of
downward. Engineers declare that
thus the sand will be dropped at the base
instead of washed away.
“In fact the beginning of the new light
house Will be a great steel structure
muc-h like a diving bell. This will hove
hollow sides, so that it will float. It will
be built at a shipyard and towed to
the spot when the weather is favorable.
Within the hollow sides will be placed
enough stone and concrete to sink the
structure to the desired depth, twenty
eight feet, but still allow it to float with
a considerable portion above water.
Once this is grounded on the shoal and
secured temporarily in place the hollow
sides will be filled witjj more gravel and
concrete till it is firmly grounded by its
own weight and tending to sink deeper
This is perhaps the most risky part of
the whole operation, for a storm at this
period may easily wreck the whole plan
and necessitate beginning all over again.
Luck and good judgment In choosing the
right weather will play an important
part of the whole operation, for a storm
at this period may easily wreck the
whole plan and necessitate beginning all
over again. Luck and good judgment in
choosing the right weather will play an
important part in the scheme. Once in
position and firmly weighted on the
sands, and other parts of the work may
be continued more at leisure, though this
is only the beginning of the foundation
laying. As the work progresses water
Will be pumped from within this diving
will dig the sand from beneath till the
whole structure, now a huge caisson, is
sunk to the desired depth at the bottom
