THE DEWEY ANCESTRY,

HOW SOLOMON DEWEY RKPILSKD ▲ BRITISH ATTACK.

CfcaraeterUtlca ®f the Family— **The Dewey Plum*”—'The ReHuion of the Hero of Manila.

[Special to The Indianapolis News ] Greencaetle, IikL, June 16.—Dr. E. W. Fiak, of this city, is a second cousin of Admiral George Dewey, and is well acquainted with that great hero’s family history. Dr. Fisk state* that to him anid others who knew the sturdy Vermont stock from which Admiral Dewey sprang, there was never anv doubt as to the thorough manner In which he would accomplish his task when the opportunity

arrived.

Dr. Fisk is pastor of the First Presbyterian church, at Evansville, ind., but holds his residence here, where he has resided for many years. He distinctly remembers the history of the older members of the Dewey family, and states that the names of Charles, Solomon, Josiah and George were common with them. Of Solomon, Dr. Fisk remembers several Interesting incidents. Solomon was a great uncle of the admiral, and was Just as great a land strategist as the admiral has proved to be a master of the arts of

naval warfare.

Mr. Fisk relates the following one: He was, at the age of eleven years, at his father’s home In Vermont (of which State he, as well as Admiral Dewey, was a native), and was assisting John Harten. a carpenter, making fence. Solomon Dewey rode up, and, upon learning his name, Harten rushed up to him and shook hands, telling the by-etanders that Mr. Dewey was one of the men who had helped him fight the British. The two had taken part in the war of 1812, and were old comrade*. Solomon Dewey entered the United States army In early life. Hs received numerous promotions for personal bravery, and at the beginning of the wax was In command of an Important post between Boston and New York. The post was attacked by the British, and they were prevented from landing by the clever tactics of Solomon Dewey. Mr. Fish tells the story of the encounter as he heard it from the old

commander later In life: Fight with British.

"The approach of the British fleet was one of the grandest sights I ever saw. Tl»«y would maneuver in the bay, and v/cre really good sailors, and their evolutions were well-nigh perfect. They approached our post, and would make a ‘flgure-elght 1 maneuver that waa grand and intended to be awe-inspiring, and at tbs distance looked like a flock of giant Mds sailing gracefully over the water. The Brltlb’h vessels could not get within range of the fort, owing to the shallow water. In the bay was a rock that Jutted up out of the water like a sheaf of wheat, ai^d the vessels remained outside this. One of them, bolder than the rest, and of lighter draught, sailed in between the fort and the rock, making the trip in safety, which was considered quite a feat by the feallors. Commander Dewey couldn’t r<e«t under the British Insolence, and sought to prevent Its repet'tlon. The fort had a new gun of Urge caliber, and, alter practicing on elevation and range upon the rock, Commodore Dewey deci<*d he would try a shot at the venturesome ship the next time it passed within the Inner circle. ‘We Khali give her- a plum,' said he, ‘If she ever trie® It again.’ "The neat day the fco!d vessel came selling in. When she had reached the desired point, Dewey banged away with his large cannon, and sent a bull into the ship and clear through her into the water. This shot frightened tha British, who tliought the Americans were wedl-supplled With heavy ordnance, And they withdrew, thoroughly satisfied to stay out of range of Dewey's marksmazHhtp. The incident gave rise to the expression. ‘Dewey’s

tired that the present force Is sufficient for all requirements of the service. There are at present some 2,000 application* cn file at the War Department for appointment. Arrangements have been made rt> , cently,, however, whereby all future emergency appointments which may become necessary will be made from the eligible list of the civil service commission.

Upon the subject of Admiral George Dewey’s religion Dr. Fish says: "Admiral Dewey 1s not a Catholic, as has been erroneously stated by the press. He was reared an orthodox CongregaMonallst. but has long been a member of the Presbyterian church. On being assigned to command In the Pacific he removed his church relations to the neighborhood of San PraiK’ieoo and became a member of the Presbyterian church at Vallejo, the nearest tb the naval station on Mere island.

A hundred or more Sunday-school children from the River-Avenue Baptist church, of West Indianapolis, stood on the bank of White river, at Broad Ripple, yesterday afternoon and helplessly watched Frank E. Caffyn, their superintendent, drown. The annual picnic of the Sunday-school occurred at Broad Ripple Park. After spending the afternoon looking after the comforts and pleasures of the children, Mr. Caffyn and his brother, Edward Caffyn, and Dr. J. E. Morrow, went swimming in the river, opposite the bath-house. The children gathered on the bank and on the boat-landing to watch them, and the little ones cheered and laughed as the three men splashed about in the waiter. When the sport was at Its hlght those on the shore saw Frank Caffyn making an unusual struggle some distance away, and he appeared to be frightened. His brother wae not far from him and asked If his strength were falling. Frank answered that it was. Edward hurried to the drowning man, after Jumping into a boat which happened to be moored near at hand. He caught hold of Frank, but the latter was struggling violently, and a* he was a man of good weight, the reecuer could not lift him to the boat. Edward finally had to loosen his grasp on him and Frank went to the bottom. Edward Caffyn then began to shout loudly for help. It caused almost a panic among the children, who were looking on. Frultle** Efforts to Save. Dr. Morrow took a long dive into the river In his endeavor to reach the drowning man, and came to the surface without him. He went under the water again and as he came up he offered a reward to any one who would get Caffyn to a place of safety. The expert swimmers who are at the park went to the rescue as soon as they heard the alarm. The crowd was so excited that no one was able to direct the experts where to hunt for Caffyn. The swimmers began diving into the water about thirty feet from the landing, but their numerous attempts to find the body were unsuccessful. An attempt or two was made closer to the shore, and the body was found on the bed of the river not three feet from the dock. This was half an hour after Caffyn first made known that he was In need of help. His drowning was peculiar, in that after going down once, he never came back to the surface. It Is supposed that he was seized with cramps. Dr. Morrow and another physician worked for an hour trying to revive Caffyn after he was taken from the river, but there were no signs of life. Caffyn was twenty-three years old, and was employed as bookkeeper by Roberts, Shldeler & Co., in East Maryland street. He made his home with his widowed mother, at 722 Madison avenue. His mother was at the park when he was drowned, but the information was kept from her as long as possible. When she heard of the fate of her boy, she fainted, and was unconscious for some time. Caffyn was well known among the Baptist young people of the city. He was a devout member of the church and an active worker in the Baptist Young People’s Union, the Sunday-school and other church organizations. Dangerdns Cold Current. White river, where It passes Broad Ripple park, is a dangerous bathing place, even for an expert swimmer. Two men have drowned there this week. Arthur Bozell, who Jumped into the river to save a girl, was an expert swimmer, while Caffyn was not. There is a shallow pool at the park which has a wooden floor, and It is a safe place for one to learn to swim, but out in the river, a few feet from the shore the water Is from fifteen to eighteen feet deep. North of the swimming pool, and a little to the west of it, there Is a ‘‘‘streak’’ of water which on the surface, as well as at the bottom of the stream, is much colder than the water about it. This “streak” Is three or four feet wide, and a swimmer can readily feel the change In the temperature as he moves through the water at this point. It is supposed that the peculiarity is due to the cold water rising from springs, either in the bed of the river or from the shore near at hand. The river is wide up and down the banks of the park, and at few points is It shallow enough for one to wade out any distance. There is a springingboard reaching out over the water from the landing, and one can jump from there and with difficulty find the bottom. To a depth of six or seven feet the water on a pleasant day is warm and inviting. Below this depth it gets colder, and near the bottom It has an icy temperature. This condition prevails up and down the river from shore to shore near the park. It. has been suggested that the safety of swimmers could be greatly added to by stretching long ropes across the stream, but the life lines would interfere with the movement of the steamers and the small craft. A favorite pastime for good swimmers has been to make their way to the middle of the river, when a steamer goes by and get into its wake, where the waves bound up and down and carry the swimmer with them as If he

were a cork.

The Coroner's Criticism. The coroner In discussing last night’s drowning said that it appeared to him that not sufficient precautions were taken at the park to prevent such accidents. The water is cold and deep, and while there are life guards at the park, they seem to have been unavailable in recent cases of need. The funeral will be held at the church Sunday at 1:30 o'clock.

SOLDIER SPIRIT AMONG BOYS.

Gets Too Pronounced When Bullets Are Used—Police will Interfere.

The war spirit is running high among the small boys in the north part of the dty. Police Superintendent Quigley says there are enough of the youthful soldiers, who drill hi scattered squads, fully uniformed and armed with air rifles, to make a regiment. He says, however, that the military enthusiasm has reached the point where the patrolmen will interfere. Many of the boys ahoot leaden pellets from their air guns. One man telephoned to the superintendent that while his family was enjoying the cool air of last evening on the front veranda three bullets from air rifles whizzed over their heads and were buried in the side of the house. Other complaints have come In also. The superintendent says the boys are not as much to blame ae are the parent*, who buy Che guns for them. He says he knows of one mother who bought one of the rifles for her mimic soldier and also equipped him with a bag of shot. The police regard the guns as dangerous. At roll-call to-night the superintendent will give the patrolmen instructions to see the parents of every boy they find carrying one of the guns, and ask them to forbid the boys shooting missile® from the rifles. If this doe® not break up the practice, the superintendent says he will have the patrolmen arrest the boys. He says the Juvenile soldiers may march with their rifles on their rtioukjera to their heart’s content, but that they will have to cease firing at Imaginary enemies, as there is too much danger of ’’non-combatant®” getting hurt.
