Death of 4. B. Hankcy.


Many of our readers will hear with
extreme regret of the death of Mr.. A.
b. Hankey, which occurred lately at his
home at Aida, Neb.
The deceased resided in this vicinity
for a number of years and was held in
the highest esteem by all the old-timers.
The following funeral notice is taken
from the Grand Island Independent,
but it gives no details as to the date or
cause of Mr.. Hankey's untimely taking
off
The funeral of Mr.. Author Barnard
Hankey, brief mention of whose death
and burial has already been made i'll
these columns, took place Yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock. In spite of the
intense cold. large number of friends
and neighbors gathered at his residence
near Aida to manifest the sincere re-
gard in which they held his memory.
Rev. Mr.. Morgan OF St. Stephens
Episcopal church, after an appropriate
and touching address, read the services
for the burial of the dead, and a num-
ber of the members of the choir of St.
Stephens church, led by Mrs. G. &.
Ryan, sang hymns of faith and hope.
His friends then accompanied his re-
mains to Grand Island cemetery, where
they were reverently committed to
mother earth.
1.-The bearers were A. G. Denman and
Joseph Roach of Aida, John Reimers,
John Conway and Geo. Sands of Grand
Island and w. F. Dendy of Hutchinson,
Kas.
MIR. Hankey was born in Hereford
shire, England. In 1883 he came to
America and engaged in the cattle
business on White river in Colorado. A
little latter, in company with W. +.
Dendy, now of Hutchinson. kas., and
W. II. Cook, now of Mold, England. he
organized the White River Land and
Cattle Company, of which corporation
he was the vice president. Not long
after this the White River Land and
Cattle Company acquired the property
two miles south of Aida, which is now,
owing largely to Mr.. Hankey's energy
and industry. one Of the finest stock
ranches in this vicinity. A few years

An Underground boat.

Submarine electric boats are just now
receiving n good deal of attention from
inventors, but it is probable that the
only underground electric boat in the
world is in Worcester, Mass. It isn't a
very pretty craft. It's mere platform
22 feet long, built on catamaran and
operated by paddle wheel in the mid
die. This is turned by a chain and
sproclSet arrangement Ike that of BIZ
cycle, turned by electric power derived
from an overhead wire. This boat runs
in big sewer and tows lot of barges
which carry bricks and cement for a
big sewer repair job in progress. There
are plenty of boats in the big Partisan
sewers, some of which are fitted up
with board scrapers shaped like the bot
toms of the sewers they run in, to clean
the bottoms of the sewers, but these are
all run by hand, not by either steam or
electricity. The Yankees still lead the
world in ingenuity.-N. Y. World.

Originator of the Skirt Dance.
New York SUM-

! Somebody has been discussing the ori-
gin of the skirt dance. which has just
! begun to lose its Old popularity not only
I on the English stage. but in the drawing
rooms as well. The management Of the
multlLudlnOuS skirts could be so discreet
that young women danced in them in the
drawing ROOM and this diversion came
TO be regarded as wholly proper. But the
skirt dance has of late years lost much
of its popularity. Even on the stage its
most Skillful performers have veried their
methods. and the simple gracefulness OF
Sylvia Gray Lefty. Lind and Phyllis
BrouShtcn is a thing of the past. The
woman who invented the dance seems to
have been more famous than anybody
supposed 1t was no less a person than
Emma Hart, Lord Nelson's Lady Hamil-
ton That is the person Francisque Sar-
cey has selected as the real originator Of
the dance, which in its somewhat degen-
crate and present estate is largely mat
ter of calcium lights and dress goods. \
letter which NJ. Sarcey quoted was writ
ten by Goethe. and describes what the
French critic takes TO be the origin OF
the dance. The famous German wrote in
March. 1851:
Sir William Hamilton, who is still the
British ambassador here after having
studied the works of nature for so long a
time. has found beautiful young woman
the most delightful thing in art or nature.
She is an English woman, very beautiful
in face and figure. She gives an enter
tainment dressed in a Greek costume.
Her hair hangs loose. she takes two
shawls in her hands. and she so varies
her attitudes, gestures and the play OF
