tian world. died Thursday night at his
home In Brooklyn.
Mr.. Sankey was sixty-eight years old.
For the last five years he had been
blind and had suffered from a compli-
cation of diseases brought on by over
work. 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, it might be said, wrote gospel
hymns of the world. In China. Egypt,
India. Japan, in almost every language
known to men, Sankey's hymns are

from mis- publications., and leaves con-
siderable of an estate.

culaticn of more than 5O,O0O,OoO copies
He was a rapid composer and wrote
look after book of gospel hymns. Dur
ing the last five or six years of his life
he was Interested in preparing and pub
fishing the story of the gospel hymns.
At the same time he saved his wonder
full voice for posterity by singing into
monographs. The records were sent
all over the world. Sankey first met
Moody at Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION convention in 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, 81
cannot get along without You"
Sankey consulted his wife and they
cast their lot with Mr. Moody. They
visited Great Britain from 1873 to 1875
and again in 1888 and made tours
throughout the United States. When
Mr.. Moody died Mr.. Sankey felt keen
ly the loss of friend. From that time
he tried to conduct the work alone,
which they had hitherto shared be
tween them. but the task was too great.
In 1902, his physical condition com
PEELED him to give up most OF his evan
gelical engagements. After his retire
mcnt from public life the impression
became general throughout the country
that he was dead.
Mr.. Sankey lived In Brooklyn for
twenty-seven years and 1t was there
that 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
Aug. 2S, 1910. At the beginning of his
active life he was Methodist, but for
the last seven years he had been a
Presbyterian. He is survived by n
widow, Fannie V. Sankey. his two sons,
l. Allen Sankey and Edward Sankey,
and two grandchildren.

to rinse the net in water to which

in beginning this famous man and
woman hunt. Seton, mounted on his
best horse, covered the ground at a
great pace. Naturally he made much
better time than Strathgate had, for
all his furious driving of the bays.
1t was half EAST nine when at bend
in the road he came upon the over
turned carriage. Here was tangible
evidence that he was on the right
track. He brought his horse to a full
stop and dismounted to examine into
the situation.
The cause of the accident was obvi-
GUS to the simplest mind. He was not
content with determining that, how
ever. So he inspected the carriage
with the minutest care. He was not
long in discovering the hole made by
Ellen's pistol ball through the seat,
and he instantly OWNED that some
one in the carriage had tried to kill
the driver.

the customary method of conducting

did this at recent party: There was

fish was written underneath. Each
guest was given small hook and line.
and each one was given the name of
fish. There was Miss Cod" Mr..

and each person could retain only the
fish bearing his or her name; all 9TH
