it skaters the whole being of the sight
less singer. She loves children dearly,
and they say it matters not how IN
roarious young ones around her become
so long as it is in mirth. But let them
begin to squabble and fuss-ah, that is
different. She is greatly distressed.
Fanny Crosby was born in Southeast,
Putnam county, N. Y. She was educat-
ed at a school for the blind and in Is47
began to teach at the Institution For
the Blind in New York city. She had
used her school days WELL and among
the branches in which she was in
structor were Greek, rhetoric and an
Gent and modern history. Eleven
years she was a teacher.
But all the years since her childhood
the rhythm of songs unwritten had
been beating in her brain, breaking al
ways against the thoughts which were
sent out to other things. When she
was only eight years old she had writ
ten:
Oh what a happy soul I am,
Although I cannot seet
I am resolved that in this world
Contented I viii be
How many blessings Z enjoy
That other people don'ti
To weep and sigh because I'm blind
I cannot, and I WON'T
At AAAO age VI El64L LIl1S remarkable
girl had learned that philosophy which
many people drag through threescore
years and ten Of bruise and fret and
torture without acquiring.
While she was a teacher Miss Crosby
continued to write poems. Many Of her
early ones were set to music and be-
came popular songs on both sides of the
water. For eight years she studied
English construction and metrical com
position that no false versifcat ton might
escape her pen. In the Institution For
the Blind she wrote her girlish poems.
Hazel Dell" Resale, the Prairie
Flower" There's Music In the Air
and others. Many were set to music
by George F. Root, the popular song
composer. Mothers of grown sons and
daughters yet hum those old airs. and
still the children in school sing There's
Music In the Air"
Miss Crosby wrote her first hymn
when she was forty-1ve years old.
That first hymn began:
We are going, we are going.
To a home beyond the skies.
It was written for William B. Brad
bury, the composer. For some of Fan
ny Crosby's hymns she herself has
composed the music. It may be inter
esting to note that the blind versifer
was the first woman who ever spoke in
the senate chamber at Washington
she presented a petition in behalf Of
the blind and recited some of her own
poems. This was in 1914.
She has written the extraordinary
number of 5000 hymns, besides can
tatas any many other poems and songs.
Among the best known Of the hymns
are Pass Me Not, o Gentle Saviour; -
Rescue the Perishing," Safe In the

ing when a young man rose and told
the audience how that hymn had led
him from an evil. reckless life into the
white path At the lowest stage of his
career he passed a place where some
people were singing, and the words they
sang were those of Miss Crosby's ia
vorite hymn He went softly in and
joined the worshipers, and from that
hour the true man in him began to
manifest himself

members of her church in Canada and

and Like the Sound of Many Waters"
Miss Crosby herself tells an interesting
and rather strange story of how safe
In the Arms of Jesus" was written. One
day in 1868 W. H Doane, who had
composed the music for several of her
hymns, came to her and told her he
wanted some words for a new sacred
melody and wanted them quick He
had forty minutes to wait for a train he
was to take for Cincinnati and must
have the hymn ready in that time. He
went to the piano and played the music.
While he did this Fanny Crosby sat
thinking deeply" as she says. As he
ceased playing she rose and said, 81

In less than twenty minutes she was

thrilling revival hymn "Safe In the

are sung today. OF all the hymns Miss
Crosby has written this one is her ia

Through bad medical treatment of her
eyes Frances Jane Crosby became blind
at the age of six But fate has kindly
made up in every possible way for the
awful deprivation of sight. Intellectual
gifts of a high order were the little
blind girls, an intuitive sense of
rhythm and a musical ear so keen and
correct that a discord of sound is mis-

tends also to the moral nature of the
sweet souled blind woman. Quarrel

TOGO OF POLICE COURT.
That Is How City Attorney Dreaming
Is Now DESIGNATED.


Is Now Designated.
In the district court this morning
City Attorney Dreaming, the Togo to
the police court offenders, secured the
surrender of nine cuIprits. Eight dis
missed their appeals and fell back upon
the mercy Of the police court conviction
and one, William Spendlove, pleaded
guilty TO the charge Of stealing d
watch.
Minnie Johnson, charged with street
walking; Blanche Woodau and Bertha
Woodall, charged with disorderIy con-
duct; George Baker, charged with be
ing drunk; Ruth Bailey. Bessie Morton
and J. H. Mcbride. charged with being
found in disorderly house, and George
Youngman, charged with vagrancy,
dismissed their appeals taken from pO-
lice court where they were convicted.
The case against Bob Haggard charg
ed with being drunk, was continued.
What the effect Of these dismissals
will be in compelling the offenders to
serve out their sentence in the city Jail
is doubtful as In none of the cases
have the bonds been forfeited and the
bondsmen are not liable and many Of
the defendants are out Of town.
