FAMOUS EVANGELIST DEAD
IRA q. sANkEY PASSES ...vp,Y
At BROOKLYN.
Suffered from Diseases Brought On
by 0verwork---Wrote Many Books
Of Gospel Hymns.

New York.--Ira d. Sankey, known
as an evangelist throughout the Chris
tian world, died Thursday night at his
home in Brooklyn, but the news of his
passing did not become generally
known until Friday. Mr.. Sankey was
6S years old.
For the last Ave years he had been
blind and had suffered from compli-
cations of diseases brought on by
overwork. But almost to the very, last
he worked at hymn writing. His tours
throughout this country and Europe
with Dwight L. Moody, the evangelist.
brought him into wide prominence.
Sankey. 1t might be said, wrote the
gospel hymns Of the world. In China.
Egypt. India, Japan, in almost every
language known to man, Sankey's
hymns are sung. He received large
income from his publications and
leaves a considerable estate. Among
Mr.. Sankey's most familiar compost
lions are 1.-THE Ninety and Nine" and
when the Mists Have Rolled Away"
His songs are said to have had a cir
culation of more than $4,000. 600
copies.
He was rapid composer and wrote
book after book of gospel hymns.
During the last five or six years of his
life he was interested in preparing and
publishing the story OF the gospel
hymns. At the same time he saved
his wonderful voice for posterity by
singing into monographs. The rec.
ords were sent all over the world.
Sankey first met Moody at q Y. M.
G. A. convention in Indianapolis.
Moody was so charmed with the young
mans voice that he urged him to &C.
company him on his evangelistic
tours. Sankey explained that he was
married and could not give up his posi-
ton. you must come" said Moody;
Il can't get along without YOU" San.
key consulted his wife and they cast
in their lot with Mr.. Moody. They
visited Great Britain from 1873 to
1875, and again in 1883. and made
many tours throughout the United
States.
