SINGERS VOICE
GROWS STILL
The Death of Sankey the
Hymn Writer
Whose Songs Are Sung
In Every Language On
the Globe.

New York. Aug. 14.-Ira d. Sankey,
Christian world, died last night at his
home in Brooklyn but the news of his
passing. away did not become generally
known until today. Mr.. Sankey was
6S years of age. For the last five
years he has been blind and has suf-
fered from a complication 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. Mr.. Sankey. it might be
said. wrote gospel hymns for the world.
In China, Egypt. India, Japan, in al
most every language known to man.
Sankey's hymns are sung. He secured
a large income from his publications
and leaves a considerable estate
Among Sankey's most familiar COM
positions are, Ninety and Nine" and
When the Mists Have Rolled Away"
His songs are said to have had a cir
culation of more than fifty million
copies. He was a 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 this story of
his gospel hymns. At the same time
he saved a wonderful voice for pos
terity by singing into monographs
The records have been sent all over
the world.
Of \
c. A. convention at Indianapolis
Moody was so charmed With the young
mans voice that he urged him to ac-
company him on his evangelistic tours.
Sankey explained that he was married
and could not give up his position.
You must come" said Moody, Il
cannot get along without you"
Sankey consulted his wife and they
cast their lot with Moody. They Wis
tied Great Britain from 1870 to 1875
and again in 1889 made tours through
the United States.
When Moody died, Sankey felt keen
ly the loss of his friend. From that
time ne tried to conduct work alone
which they hitherto had shared be-
tween them. but the task was too
great In 1902 his physical condition
compelled him to give up most Of his
evangelical engagements. After his
retirement from public life the i'm
preston became general throughout
the country that he was dead.
Sankey lived in Brooklyn for twen-
ty-five years and there most of his
songs were written. He was a singer
from boyhood and his voice attracted
attention in the hamlet of Edinburgh,
Pa. where he was born August 2S,
1910. At the beginning of his active
life he was a Methodist but for the
last several years he had been a Pres
byterian He is survived by a widow,
Annie V. Sankey. his two sons, J..
Amen Sankey and Edward Sankey and
two grandchildren.

MANY BLASTS

Conveying a Genial Warmth
to Mr.. Bryan
COngratulatOry Messages
and Promises Pour Into
Lincoln.

Lincoln, Aug. 1.-THE prophesy of
State Chairman w. j. Corners of New
York, that Bryan would carry that
state, the sending out from Chicago
of speakers to various parts of the
country by the democratic national
committee, and the receipt of a num-
Der of kilograms and letters of con-
graduation in his speech. all served to
put the democratic nominee tor the
presidency in a happy frame of mind
today on account of the threaten
ing weather there was only a handful
of visitors and this afforded Bryan an
opportunity to continue his work on
the speeches to be delivered at Indian
.apolis and elsewhere.
Bryan is awaiting replies to letters
sent to different parts of the country
in response to invitations to speak be-
fore announcing the several dates and
places which will be included in his
forthcoming tour. 1t is practically
settled however, that much attention
will be given TO Ohio, the native state
of Taft. Speeches which Bryan will
make will be the centers where it is
deemed they will do the most good.
This part of the program is in the
hands of Chairman Mack, of the ma
tiOnal committee.

The Ships Sped On Their Journey by the
Cheers of the New ZeaIanderS
An Exchange of FelictOus Expressions In Which 1t is
Stated That the White Control of the Pacific Has
Been Strengthened

Auckland. n. T., Saturday. Aug. ID
The American Atlantic fleet departed
for Sydney this morning at Sis. The
weather was fine with large crowds
ashore and aflOat to bid farewell to
the Americans. Excursion craft load
ed to guards dotted the harbOr.
As the anchors were hOisted and the
flagship pointed its nose toward the
mouth of the harbor, pandemonium
reigned. The shore batteries belched
forth parting salutes which were an
sWered by American ships and whis-
ties and sirens on the excursion fleet
resOunded across the harbOr and were
reechoed by a distant hill. The Amer
lean ships were kept busy dipping
their flags in answer to the salutati0ns
of the New Zealanders. The fleet
steamed with precision of alignment
out of the harbOr and many Of the
excursion craft followed it far out to
sea.
Cordial farewell messages were eX-
changed between Rear Admiral Sperry,
commander of the American battleship
fleet, and the New Zealand author
tiles. Sir Joseph Ward, premier, voic-
ing the sentiments of the people Of
the Dominion said: Your all too

unite a closer bonds in the two white
races whose interests in the PaCifis
