NV Though Blind From Infancy.
pPTDGEPORT, Conn. - Fanny
crosbv we'll known hymn writer
died today at her home in her Goth
year
Fight thousand hymns of Christian
worship sung in Protestant churches
throughout the world are the work of
Fanny Crosby. No one since the days
Of Charles Wesley or Isaac Watts has
made anywhere near as large a con-
.ribution to the gospel song book as
Aid the blind writer whose death oc-
Cured today
Fanny Crosby's name was signed
en- regularly as author of one hymn
after another that the hymn book
makers of quarter of century ago
were forced to give her some 200 diff
ferent pen names to make it appear
that some one besides the famous au-
thor had contributed. Thousands
nprhaps hundreds of thOusands-who
sang her songs, which were translat-
ed into every language, did not know
that it was blind woman's inspira-
ton which they employed to express
their Christian faith and hope in
song.
Saved by Grace" Blessed AS
surance," Rescue the Perishing, "
and Safe in the Arms of Jesus are
typical of Fanny Crosby's most pop
ular religious verses. Of the latter
the writer has related an incident
showing the remarkable rapidity
with which she employed her inspira-
ton and her talents of versification.
Writes Hymn in Is Minutes.
w. H. Doane, who wrote the mu-
sic for many of her verses, had call
ed one morning at Miss Crosby's
home in New York.
81 must take train to Cincinnati
in forty minutes" he said, land l
have some music for which l want
YOU to write hymn
Il think can write it, Mr.. Doane,'
she said.
81 hurried upstairs and sat down to
write. For some time l was entirely
sobliyious of surroundings. When
came back to my full senses the
.hymn was written and was on paper
before me. l learned that l had only
taken fifteen minutes. Triumph
antly carried it down to Mr.. Doane.
THE music he played then and the
words l had hurriedly written are
khe same as used today in singing
Safe in the Arms of Jesus"
1T was my most successful hymn,
bnd l believe it was dictated by the
spirit of the Lord, and that 1T was
born for a mission
But Fanny Crosby did not begin
hymn writing until she was over ~
Years of age. Fifty years ago she

LlNEMAN GIRDED
BY ELECTRIC BELT
EMPLOYE OF CUMBERLAND TEL.
EPHONE co. REMARKABLE
ESCAPE.


LOUISVILLE, KY, May 81. Mil
ton Neser, lineman for the Cumber-
land Telephone & Telegraph Co., had
miraculous escape from death yes
terday afternoon when $4,000 volts of
electricity encircled him from head to
foot. Through some freak of fate
the electricity failed to pass through
his body, although charging the wires
upon which Neser was working three
times in as many minutes.
Neser was working directly beneath
a heavily charged power transmission
line of the Louisville Railway Co.
when without warning, due probably
to atmospheric conditions, the cleo
trical current was diverted from the
cable to the line on which he was at
work. There was a sharp report, ac-
companied by cracking noise, fol-
lowed by a second and third explo-
sion. Fellow workers from nearby
poles ond from the ground saw Neser
fall Imply backward and apparently
lifeless, swing outward from the pole,
suspended only by his safety belt.
They rushed TO hts rescue.

GREAT STUDENT
OF BARD OF AVON
FREDERICK WARDE, SHAKES
PEAREAN INTERPRETER, ON
CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAM.

Frederick Warde, the great TRACE
dian, is one of the few attractions
booked for a return tour this sum-
mer on the Alkahest Chautauqua cir
cult. He appeared on their program
in 1914, scoring one Of the biggest
triumphs Of the season.
Mr. Warde has devoted his life to
the study and rendition of the plays
of Shakespeare. He has stored up a
fund of information about "the bard
of Avon," which, in connection with
his admirable dramatic talent, makes
him without a doubt the best inter
prefer of Shakespeare in the world
today. The purpose of his recital is
to simplify and and encourage the
study of the great poet. To those
who have considered him obscure
and profound, Mr.. Warde presents a
new and delightful version. His re-
citals are understandable, entertain
ing and humorous, and his appear
ance on the Chautauqua Circuit this
summer will be looked forward to by
many as the most interesting part OF
the program.

MINOR N FORM AND
CADETS HAND DEFEAT
TO NASHVILLE BOYS
FAuLTLEss FIELDING ALSO AID
ED IN 4 TO 2 SCORE AGAINST
MONTGOMERY BELL.
NO MISCUES MADE BY LOCALS
But Four Hits Were Madk by Nash.
Vile Boys, While EzelI Was Tapped
for Eleven Safeties During the
Course of the Afternoon.

Minor got another good game out
of his system Wednesday afternoon
when he pitched the cadets to a 4
to victory over the Montgomery Bell
Academy nine, of Nashville.
1t was really the best exhibition of
the art of hurting that any of the
G. NJ A, twirlers has exhibited this
season. A very unusual, in fact the
most remarkable feature of the after
Moons sport was the errorless field
ing of the cadets behind Minor. The
pitchers have done fair work this
spring, but the fielders have thrown
to the winds several games behind
them by Indifferent and sluggish
handling of the ball. They complete
ly upset all precedents Wednesday
afternoon and slung the pill around
through the whole game without the
semblance of miscue.
AS remarked above, Minor had all
the stuff that he had last season.
Four scattered bingles was the sum
total of damage that the M. B. A.
lads did to his offerings. They were
so widely scattered that they did lit
tie harm. The second and ninth in
nings were the only ones in which
they were able to navigate the entire
circuit.
Ezell, who pitched for the visitors,
was somewhat more liberal with his
delivery. He was touched up eleven
times, but he had the knack of being
able to stop a rally when hit meant
a run. In the third and fourth in
nings alone were the cadets able to
puncture his shoots and curves suf-
ficiently TO get around to the home
plate. Leake, Whatley, May and Nc
Adams were the ones best able to
get to him, each of them bingling on
two separate occasions.

ing that the democratic members of
the general assembly carry out the
pledges made in the platform of their
party, even though they may not
meet with the personal approval of
all, Gov. Tom Rye submitted strong
message to the legislature Wednes-

The message in full follows:
ITO the members of the general
assembly: l am informed that a res

Il wish to call your attention to the
fact that several bills now pending,
introduced for the purpose of keep
ing faith with the people and carry.
ing out the pledges made upon the
stump and in the platform, prior to
the election, yet remain to be dispos-
ed of. It is my desire that each and
every one of these bills be enacted

been endorsed by your constituency

bills or make an honest effort to do
so. The people Of the state expect

their expectations.
II trust that | may be pardoned for
calling your attention to these facts,
but believe implicitly in carrying
out the promises made to the people,
by which we received their support
and were placed in power, and this is
my only excuse for again making this
appeal before the final hour of ad-
journment shall arrive. So that when
the final hour of adjournment has
come we can truthfully say to the
people: 1--WE have dealt honestly
with you; we have been true to our
pledges; we have been just and fair
to all and, as representatives, have
not turned a deaf ear to the reasona-
BILE demands of any class or organiza-
ton in order to serve the interests of
others, but we have endeavored to
deal out justice to all alike insofar as
human effort can bring about the re-
suit. This l respectfully ask in the
name of all the people whose SER
wants we are.

LAST SUMMONS FOR
POPULAR REINSMAN
SMITH THOMAS DIED SUDDENLY
THIS MORNING IN DENVER,
COLORADO.

Smith Thomas died this morning at
Denver, Colorado, where he had gone
recently in search of better health.
His death was very sudden, and no
intimaton of the serious nature of
his illness was received here until
the telegram came which announced
bis death.
Mr. Thomas was a son of the late
B S. Thomas, of Glendale. He leaves
one brother, ALI Thomas, and one sis
ter, Mrs. Dalton Oliver. His wife and
one little son, Smith, Jr., also sur
vive him. Hardin Thomas, a brother,
died last year.
Mr. Thomas was about thirty-five
years Of age. All his life he had
been follower of the turf, and was
widely known, not only in this state
but also in others. He campaigned
and raced many noted horses, and
was one Of the most successful train
erS in this section Of the state.
Last fall the health of Mr.. Thomas
began to fail him. During the winter
he had to practically give up his
work upon the track. With the com
ing Of the spring season he grew NO
better and decided that 1t would be
best for him to go west in search OF
better health. 1t was realized that he
was in serious condition, but many
hoped that his illness would not be
fatal The change of climate did not
benefit him, and the end came sud
denly this morning, with only his wife
and little son at his bedside.
Smith Thomas was a popular Ikea
Ole man, a man who easily made
friends, and one who had a wide &C.
9uaintance over the state. That he
should have lost his life just as he
was in the prime of life is to
be deplored.
The funeral arrangements have not
Oeen made Mrs. Thomas will bring
The body back to his old home, where
will be inferred. Further notice OF
the funeral arrangements will be
given as they are announced
