SIR John TENN|EL,
NOTED CARTOON|ST,
DIES IN ENGLAND
Was Dean of Worlds Great
est Political CartOOnists.
Principles Adopted
World Over

London, February 26.-Sir John Ten
mel, for many decades the leading Brit
ish cartoonist, died today "a years old.
Sir John Tenniel was the famous
English cartoonist who so mercilessly
caricatured Abraham Lincoln during the
civil war. He was the dean of the
worlds great political cartoonists.
Tenniel held the record for contnu-
Gus service Fifty years were spent
with scarcely a holiday, as cartoonist
for London Punch His pencil pleased
millions. He set the principle of the
political cartoon so firmly that it has
been adopted the world over. His keen
political foresight was worked out in
more than 1000 sketches, touching upon
and perhaps deciding the great world
events during the last half of the nine
teenth century.
Queen Victoria received the famous
cartoonist and in 1898 knighted him tor
his services to his country.
First Great Achievement
His first great achievement as an
illustrator was in his youth when nc
hguratvely stepped into the hearts
of children of all nations as illustra-
tor of "Aesop's Fables" and won even
more fame as the original illustrator
of Lewis Carols alice in Wonder
land"
do they suppose there is anything
funny about me?r was his answer TO
the offer to join Punch in 1851. He
had just submitted his design for fres-
in, no g.f ,fff,fr ,fax. Z
was with reluctance that he gave up
his ambition to be a great painter and
accepted the offer Ruskin once said
that the cartoonist might have won
renown painter and added: Ton
MEL has much of the symbolic mystery
of Imagination which belonged to the
great leaders of classic art.
Tenniel was a wizard in forecasting
political events. He and his associates
would gather on Wednesdays and dis
cUss the subject of the cartoon for the
next weeks issue. Thus they had to
decide week in advance what was to
be the outcome of current political
troubles In all his half century of
service Tenniel, it is said. made but
one false prophecy.
Americans will remember the furore
created by Tenniel during the Mason
and Slidell affair in 1861 when the
United States was forced in the inter
ests of peace to give way to England
Mason and Slidell. appointed by the
Confederate government to represent it
in England and France, We're seized
on hoard an English mail steamer by
Captain Wilkes of the United States
sloop San Jacinto and Great Britain
Forthwith demanded their release.
Punch gloated over the episode and
Tenniel pictured Lincoln in a cartoon
as coon up tree. Beneath stood John
Bull with a gun. The legend ran:
Coon: Air you in earnest colone1?''
John Bull: 81 am
Bitterness Disappears

If all the musical attractions with
which the public is regaled were as fortu-
nate in winning the praise of the critics
as the Flonzaley Quartet, which will
appear at the Jefferson theatre on next
Monday evening. March . under the
