DEATH OF JOHN SARTAIN
The Noted American Engraver
Passes Away-- History of n Busy


Philadelphia, oct. 2G.-John Sartain,
the celebrated engraver and artist,
died at two o'clock yesterday, hut a
few hours after completing his eighty
ninth year. Sunday having been his
birthday.
Death was said to have been indi-
reCtly due to the effects of wound
at the base of the brain received as he
was about to alight from trolly car
at Thirteenth and Master streets last
August. Mr.. Sartain was assisted to
the School of Design for Women, at
Broad and Master streets. where he
lived with his daughter Miss Emily
Sartain. In a few days ne had SEEM
ingly recovered, but the shock was too
great for a man of his age, and he was
stricken with asthma, an old COM
plant.
The famous engraver, who lived in
this city for over half a century, was
born in London, October "a 1908. His
first employment was as a boy of II
when, with another boy, he was en-
gagged to make smoke in a play at the
old Covant Garden Theatre. They car
ried the lime FOR making the smoke
from quite q distance away, and were
in the habit IF stopping to rest in the
ruins of the old HungerfOrd Palace
where he became acquainted with
Charles Dickens, then q boy employed
pastinE labels on bottles.
At the age of IA he was apprenticed
to writer and engraver named Will
liam j. Ottley, and worked in the Ma
tional Gallery, assisting his MASTER
who was getting up a history of art,
the book to tell the story by engraved
examples Of representations of the
various schools. Early in 1925 he de-
voted himself to the meZzotint as the
more effective method of engraving,
and bis fame and fortune have been
based upon it.
In 1890, by the persuasion of Sully,
the artist he came TO Philadelphia.
In 1919 he became sole proprietor ard
editor of Campbelrs Foreign Semi
monthly Magazine, in which were
printed first "The Song Of the Shirt"
and THE Bridge of Sighs.' Sartain's
Magazine was started in 1Sis, these
publications entailing an enormous
amount of literary labor beside his
work i'm art.
Mr.. Sartain had been a controller of
| the Artists Fund Society since 1885,
| filing every position from president
| down. For twenty-four years he was
| a director of the Academy IF the Fine
! Arts besides Occupying prominent po-
| sitions in other institutions of this city
! and state. He received medals and
I h0nOrs from every quarter of the
! globe, among them being the title of
/ Chevaler from the King of Italy. He
was Chief of the Art Department of the
! Centennial Exposition in 1876, and held
a corresponding position in the Ameri-
can exhibition held in 1887 at London.
Also a prominent Mason, he rose to be
pest master IF his lodge and past high
| priest of his chapter

though fortunately none of the train
hands were injured.
Extra engine ass, with N. r. Dotter,
of this city, as conductor, was run
ming down the mountain to Coxton
with q train of freight cars, when
wheel on one of the cars suddenly
broke. Nine cars were thrown from
the track, and scattered about, COM
pletely blocking both tracks. One of
the cars, a refrigerator was torn from
the trucks and the roof was badly
damaged. A horse car lay upside down
when the crash was over, and several
box cars were badly damaged.
Wrecling crews from Coxton and
Wilkes Barre We're on the scene soon
after the accident occurred, and by
11.30 o'clock they had the road cleared
so that traffic could be resumed, though
considerable additional work Will be
necessary to clear up the damaged
cars. The switch where the cars ran
off was broken, but the tracks were
not seriously damaged. The most seri-
Gus feature was the delay caused to
traffic. the road being overwhelmed
with business just now,-Last nights

DEATH CAUGHT BOY AND HORSE.
Disastrous Effort to Cross the Tracks
Uctorn n Flyer

Chester, oct. 2G,-As his custom has
been. John Springer, aged 13 years, Of
Fourteenth street and Edgemont ave
nuc. started tonight for Larkin's farm,
near Upland, for milk for his fathers
dairy. He asked George Stillwell to ac-
company him.
Leaving the Concord road, the boys
drove down a steep hill, and as they
approached the crossing of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad part way down,
the whistle of a locomotive was heard,
The Royal Blue express, east bound,
due i'm this city at 5.39 o'clock, was
running rapidly, and just as Stillwell
climbed on the shaft ready to leap to
the ground, the engine struck the horse
with awful impact, sending the carcass
up on the pilot, and hurling the boys
out of the wagon. Sprnger's head
and face were smashed in, and death
was almost instantaneous; but Still
well escaped with a badly skinned face
and a bruised right arm.

The Good Mans Invocation.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Down in the rural district it happened,
when the Mean Man invited the preach
er to dinner. The Mean Man had plenty
of money. but he didn't spend it on his
table, which on that occasion showed but
scant fare.
"Parson," said the Mean Man, "times
air hard an groceries high; but, sich as
it is, you're welcome. VIII you AK a

AMERICAN TOOLS ABROAD.
Purchasers Found Tor Them Nowa-
days Throughout the World.


From the Sun.
American tools are sold all over the
world. The New York representative
of an American tool manufacturing es-
tablishment, when asked where Amer
lean tools were sent, ran over the eX-
port orders received that day. They
included orders from Hungary, Aus
tria, Germany, France, England, South
Africa and South America. There were
altogether about twenty orders, and
from some of the countries named
there were two or three orders. The
export orders of the previous day in
cluded orders from Russia, Australia,
and New Zealand; and these were not
unusual orders, but such as are con-
stantly received. In the shipping room
at that moment stood cases marked
for Java, for Ecuador, and for Aus
tralia.
Many of these orders are small. In
some cases there were orders for a
single tool. or for two or three; for
some, orders of half a dozen, or two
or three dozen, to supply orders or to
keep lines filled. These small orders
are mostly from European countries,
with which communication is nova
udSS iulCh anu CoiNShiSh'' EuiOpeali
merchants order these things just
about as merchants in other cities in
this country would. 1t costs no more
to send to London than it does to Chi
cago, and it is as easy to send to Ber-
lin as it is to Paterson.
The characteristics that commend
these American tools to their foreign
purchasers are the same that mark
American machines and implements
generally; lightness, fine finish, and
perfect adaptability to their several
uses. The exports of American tools
to all parts of the world are steadily
increasing.

ed the supposed corpse smiled and ask
ed them the time of day
Yesterday Mr.. Henry, who is a mere

twenty minutes and then rallied. To-
day the attending physician found the
patient much stronger, and says he
may yet recover.

ters of America" Burgess r. r. Da-

cago, national president of the Daugh-
ters of America, and Miss Laura Il.
Staufrer. past president of the True
Americans. The two bodies then dis
cussed the question of consolidation all
day. 1t is expected that this will be

THE SENSE OF SWELLING.

Why should it be considered strange
that an animal depending on its "nose"
as much as dog does should be able
to distinguish one scent from another
when mankind can do the same to
fully as delicate degree: \ friend
Ct mine told me he could lean over a
kettle of boiling glue stock (horrible
smelling stuff aud distinguish any
prefume from another on handker-
chief. Julia Brice deaf blind could
assert the clothing Of her fellow pu-
pills after coming from the wash by
smelling it. Linnie 1Iaguewood
(another deaf blind girl knows ever,
dish on the table OH coming into the
room, James Mitchell deaf blind
man who died about 1870, recognized
his friends by their smell, and even
formed his likes and disliAes of stran-
gers by that means. Then Rev. NJ.
b. Wynne wrote me that his young
brother-in-law could always tell
whether rabbit was in its burrow by
smelling at the opening.
The deaf-blind always display this
extleme delicacy Of seeming powers
Except of course, in such cases as
Laura Bridgeman, Ragnhild kaata,
Willie Cation, &C., where the senses
of taste and smell were destroyed by
the disease which ruined their sight
and hearing,) and it would seem that
they only appreciate distinctions which
those in possession of all their senses
neglect. l know that doctors will say
that the organ of smell is but vesti-
gial in man, while fnlly developed in
dogs; but no trained mantracking
hound ever displayed more delicate
''nose' than Julia Brace did, and a
stubborn fact like that counts strong
regardless Of what anatomy SAYS.
