IRA D. SANKEY, NOTED
HYMN WRITER, IS DEAD

NEW YORK, Aug 15.-Ira d. San
key known as am evangelist through
out the Christian world, died Thursday
night at his home in Brooklyn, but the
news of his passing did not become
generally known untQ yesterday. Mr..
Sankey was 6S years old and had been
IN of complication of diseases. His
tours throughout this country and Eu-
rope with Dwight l.. Moody, the evan
gellst. brought him into wide promi-
nence
sanlSey, It might be said. wrote the
gospel hymns of the world. Among
his most familiar compositions are The
Ninety and Nine" and when the
Mists Have Rolled Away" His songs
are said TO have had a circulation of
more than 5O.OOO,O0O copies, and to have
brought him riches.
Sankey first met Moody at a Y. M.
C, A. convention in Indianapolis Moody
was so charmed with the young mans
voice that he urged him to accompany
him on his evangelistic tours. They
visited Great Britain from 1873 to 1875
and again in 1888. and made many
tours throughout the United States.
When Moody died Mr. Sankey felt
keenly the loss of his friend. From
that time he tried TO conduct the work
alone which they had hitherto shared
between them. but the task was too
great. In 1902 his physical condition
compelled him to give up his evangel-
ical engagements. Then came failing
eyesight. which speedily developed into
total blindness five years ago.
Mr. Sankey lived In Brooklyn for
twenty-seven years He was born in
Iedenburgh. Pa. August 2S. 1S40. At
the beginning OF his active life Mr.
Sankey was a Methodist but for the
last seven years he had been a Pres
byterian. He is survived by a widow.
Fannie V. Sankey. his two sons, I. Allen
Sankey and Edward Sankey. and two
grandchildren.

chase an axe, says an exchange. Being

DAYS COMING.

The following verses by Miss katherine
Brownell Collier, niece OF c. w. Brown
ell of this city and now a senior in Vas
Alumna, a publication issued from Pack
err Institute in Brooklyn, where Miss
Brownelrs mother is a teacher:
The tired stars fickered and died away,
The trees stood out from the shadows
gray,
The blue sky throbbed in an angry way,
AS the dawn peeped over the hill.
The young sun kissed cloudlet white
That bushed rose red with shy delight,
Then trembed and melted in radiant
light.
AS the morn peeped over the hill.
The rudy gold Of the bare boughs
CLEANED,
No sound was heard the hushed air
seemed
To wait. while the earth in slumber
dreamed.
AS the sun peeped over the hill
The light, like an army. advanced on the
plain,
A breeze woke to meet IT and share its
domain.
With tasseed pine banners afoat in It's
train.
And the day had come over the hill.

A TRAGEDY OF COMMERCE..

Throughout the whole establishment the
rumor quickly spread
That Long, the gay cashier. was short
and secretly had fled;
Miss Stout, our slim stenographer, was
overcome with grief.
While Mr. Young, the oldest clerk, said
it was past belief;
The missing mans assistant, Wright,
still put his faith in Long,
Eut when the books were brought to light
we found that Wright was wrong.
When Porter, the proud president, ar
rived upon the scene
He said to King, the porter; what
may all this trouble mean"
Old Black, the head bookceper. who
was looking very white,
Produced the ledger and explained why
Long had taken flight.
While Mr.. White, the colored man who
swept and scrubbed the place
stood listening without a touch of pallor
on his face.
Young Smith, the secretary, looked at
old man Kidd and sighed.
While Carpenter, the manager, seemed
robbed of all his pride;
Meek Lord. the elevator man, appeared
bereft of joy,
And Loud the silent partner, wept with
Olds the office boy.
AS Bishop the head salesman, clenched
his fists and stamped his feet
And uttered some profane remarks that
shall not repeat.

THE HEART OF MAISIE.

THE HEART OF MAISIE.
When Maisie was scarce twelve years
old
l we'll recall the summer
She found what passion hards have
told
And madly loved the plumber.
But ere year had passed. I ween,
That fancy did forsake her,
And long before she reached fifteen
She much adored the baker
That worship passed, too. much the
same,
Her next yearn was the mailman.
But when her eighteenth birthday
came
She loved the nearest Yaleman.
When she was twenty and came out.
line of hearts loves rocked her;
The black eyed priest came first, M
doubt
And next the stern young doctor.
And SO she's kept on ever since.
AS gossip. hap. has told yer;
It's now the lawyer. now the prince,
And now the handsome soldier.
oh. Maisie's heart was never small
The more men there, the brighter;
She's found room in IL for them all,
Except-ah, re,--the writer

Lately I have Inspected many new
houses and apartments to see what eff
fccts are most popular in wall finishes.
In dining rooms there is a tendency TO
rich green's; for instance, when the cell
ing is papcred with white MORE paper
there is a drop at the sides of 20 inches
paperod with the same. and picture
holding separates this from the darker
paper Fellow. All pattern upon the lower
paper is in panels or perpendicular lines;
little dark rcd may be introduced in
this way without the unpleasant effects
of an entire red wall which is much more
satisfactory in room partially lined
with book shelves.

In all good houses and apartments the
bathrooms are now finished for abou.
four and a half feet with white tiles and
above this with a row OF ornamental
tiles. The space above is sometimes
papered In tile pattern washable paper.
MY own experience proves that the light
blue or pale green or even bun painted
wall looks as we'll as the paper and
wears much better, While inspecting
some expensive houses l found that
painted walls We're the choice above the
tiles. Tile paper is sham at its best
end the steam OF hot water used in the
tub tends to loosen and DISTURB it. II
is true that a spot can be washed with
care from this sort of paper, but it's

For reception rooms and what are still
called parlors. there is a tendency to use
self-toned satin and plain striped papers.
A buff or pale green paper of this sort
forms an especially good background for
etchings oil or water colors. This paper
is not expensive, is never obtrusive to
the eye and fits we'll with any sort Of
furnishings. a point which builders of
apart mcnt houses recognize, as they can
not foresee what will be put into the
rooms In large houses or houses with
far-sizcd halls burlap is yet favored for
four feet of the lower wall and above a
plain or foliage paper separated by L
narrow molding.
When one comes to the bedrooms,
bright and CHEEKY colors are shown al
though borders and friezes are not in
favor If the room is low the paper
runs to the ceiling and is finished with
a picture moldns. The latest bedroom
papers are made in strips or panels. One
kind may be rose tree which climbs
from the Dashboard and finishes at the
top in n luxuriance Of pink or red bloom
Ike a rambler rose, Another style is a
nearly plain paper. possibly a satin
stripe or diamond lattice. all in the
same pale tint, but at the top Of the
paper is a basket of flowers with pendant

fastened to the picture molding with

cUMMINS FOR ADJOURNMENT
Urges His Friends to Yield to the De-
mands of the stand
Datters.


DEs MONIES. Ia, Sept. 1O.-(special
republican caucus Governor Cummins today
asked his friends to accept the propogaI Of
the stand patters to take recess until
after election. He had net supposed, he
said, that any republicans would actually
refuse to abide by their caucus, but they
have done so and made the election Of a
senator impossible at this time.
'"rhe deadlock has become a matter of
grave party concern" he said. II have
hitherto yielded unhestatlngly to the ma
jority in order that the party welfare might
be promoted. am willing to yield to the
minority TO secure party peace and har-
mony. Far above my own ambitions, l
put republican success. and republican sue
cess is now seriously menaced. l want
our party to win in the campaign now in
progress and no matter how unjust the
action of the minority seems to be 1 can
not allow my own views and my own in
terests to stand in the way of complete
party harmony"
In the interest of party harmony he there
fore urged acceptance of the program If a
recess until after election. The final ad-
journment was about 6 o'clock. A bill was
passed providing for payment of the mem
bers for the present session, but pro-
viding that when they return in November
they shall get no pay whatever. The No
vember session will be held November a.
for the sole purpose of electing a senator.
A second ballot on senator resulted ma
terially the same as Wednesday. Repre-
sentative Kendall was not present and
Governor Cummns received one less vote.
The standpatters scattered their votes.
