One of the most expert penmen of
the country is Mr.. James w. Swank, of
this borough, who has been in the
Treasury Department at Washington
for years. Mr.. Swank has just finished
for the Carbon County Law Library
handsome set of resolutions on the
death of the late General Charles
Albright, which include a portrait of
the Ex-Congressman-at-large. He is
also engaged on one of the most elabor-
ate pieces of work of his life, the re-
solutions of the employees of the
Treasury on the death of Secretary
Window. Mr.. Swank has executed
pen-portraits of many leading states
men, and he drew the famous S15,000,-
900 United States bond at the time of
the settlement of the Alabama claims.
His chief claim to distinction is his
wonderful accurancy in drawing the
human eountenance with a pen. His
work is as fine as q steel engraving, and
as accurate as a photograph. Mr..
Swank is one of the oldest Treasury
officials in point of service.
