DEATH OF IRA D. SANKEY
“Singing Evangelist,” Who Supplied
Hymns for Ail Christendom.
New York.—Ira D. Sankey, known
as an evangelist throughout the Chris-
tian world, died August 13, at his |
home in Brookiyn.
Mr. Sankey was 68 years old. For
the last five years he had been blind
and had suffered from a complication
of diseases brought on by overwork.
But almost to the very last he con-
tinued 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 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 a large income from
his publications and leaves considera-
ble of an estate.
Among Mr. Sankey’s most familiar
compositions are “The = Ninety and
Nine” and ‘When the Mists Have
Rolled Away. His songs are said
to have a circulation of more han
50,000,000 copies.
Mr. Sankey lived in Brooklyn for
27 years, and it was there that most
of his songs were written. °*He was
a singer from boyhood, and his voice
attracted attention in the hamlet of
Edenburg, Pa., where he was born
August ‘28, 1840. At the beginning
of his ‘active life Mr. Sankey was a
Methodist, ,but for the. last seven
years he had .been a Pr esbyterian, He
is survived by his widow, Fannie V.
Sankey, his two sons, I. Allen Sankey
and “Edward Sankey, and two grand-
children.
It.was in 18 70, at a _Natjonal Y. M.
C. A. convention held in Indianapolis,
| that young Sankey, then a deputy col-
whose automobile the prisoners had |
Been taken away. and wrecked the |
place. The mob broke into Eish-|
man’s pawnshop and secured a quan- |
lector in the internal revenue service,
met another young man named Moody,
who used to be a shoe clerk and was
then the unlicensed pastor of a
church in Chicago. While both were
evangelist of an order, neither cne
had become especially well known,
but here they struck up a parnership
in religious work.
VICTIMS WERE BADLY MANGLED
Boiler Lets Go in Rolling Mill, Bring-
ing Death to Workmen.
York, Pa.—Nine men met instant
death and 20 more were bad in-

Benjamin Bremer, Harry Seachrist,
Paoli Puci, Alfred Struck, John Sloss-
man, Harry Feger, all of Columbia,
Pa.; Edward Fitler, Marietta, Pa., and

ter of the mill. The mill had been
closed down for about a week and 30
men were engaged in making repairs
to an engine. -* They were’ working
close* to the boiler and when the ex-
plosion occurred not one of them was
able to escape. The shock demol-
ished a large portion of the mill.
While the injured were being look-
ed after, the bodies of the dead were
being carried from the ‘ruins of the
building. © A majority of those killed
had their.heads and limbs torn from
their bodies and were so badly man-
gled that identification was almost an
impossibiinty.
BIG CAR SHOPS PROJECTED
C. M. Schwab Effets Merger Between-
Bethlehem Stee] Co. and Har-

Wilmington, Del.—It was announced
at the offices of the Harlan & Hollings”
worth Company in this city that the
local concern and the Bethlehem Steel
Company has been consolidated for
the purpese of establishing in Wilm-
ington a plant for the manufacture of
all kinds of steel freight cars. The
name of the new company has not
been determined, neither was the
amount at which it is to be capital
ized stated.
The announcement followed a visit
of Charles M. Schwab, president of
the Bethlehem Steel Company, and
the directors of that concern. They
conferred with the directors of the
local company and the merger was
then determined.
The Harlan plant here will be re-
built and enlarged and the largest car
shops in the country erected. It is
estimated that from 12,000 to 15,000
men will be employed. Work on the
plant will begin at once. The Beth-
lehem Steel Company will make the
stee] and the cars will be erected in
the local plane :

Americans in Manila Argue It Proves
Unfitness for Franchise.
Returns from the municipal elec-
tions show Simon Villa carried the
southern district of the city, being
elected Alderman by a large plurality,
while Ramon Dickno was triumphant
for the similar office in the nothern
district.
Villa is a former officer of the in-
surgent army, and cnly escaped trial
for the murder of a Spanish officer by
the general amnesty proclamation. He
is the man who declared in his speech-
es that in the event of another revo-
luticn he would advocate the slaugh-
ter of all Spaniards on the island.
Dickno is a lawyer and leader of the
Labor party. American residents
and others of the foreign populaticn
are opposed to the rapid extension of
the ballot to’ the Filipinos, declaring
the election of Villa and Dickno
clearly demonstrates the incapacity
of the natives at present for self-gov-
ernment. s

CATHOLIC SOCIETY -
- FIGHTING DRINK Bil
National Convention Also Appeals
for Sunday Observance.
BOOZE CLUBS ARE DENOUNCED
Hibernian Order Criticised for Serv-
ing Beer at Its Meetings
and Outings.
New Haven, Conn.—Denunciation of
the liquor traffic, an appeal for sancti-
fication of Sunday and the exclusion
from membership ‘in Catholic socie-
ties of- those engaged in the liquor
traffic were the striking features of
the resolutions adopted by the Nation-
al convention of the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union. The committee
which drew up the resolutions had
Rev. Father Lambing of Wilkinspurs,
Pa.; as chairman.
The resolution declares that not in
drunkenness and riotous living can
any man make effective profession of
the Catholic faith. “With indigna-
tion . the Union protests against the
taunts of its crticis. It does not feel
that it should stoop to contest the
claims for unltra-orthodoxy which have
been so blatantly made by those who
have tried to substitute the beer mug
for the standard of the cross. The
day for apology for total abstainers
is over. .
The conveniion also declares its
allegiance to the Catholic Church and
adds: “With all our souls we wel-
come the encyclical of our holy Fath-
er, Pius X., on modernism.” The res-
olutions also say:
‘Catholic periodicals ‘that cannot
live avithout liquor advertisements
should die. Let them not drag down
the Catholic name in their greed. We
earnestly suggest that Catholic organ-
izations which exclude salconkeepers
from membership and which forbid
the use of liquors at their meetings
should not tclerate the formation of
clubs within their membership which
despise the letter and spirit of those
laws that have been made by their
organization for the honor of the
Catholic name”
The following cable message was
received from Cardinal Merry del Val
in answer to a message sent by the
convention: “Hody Father thanks
convention for their congratulations,
and willingly blesses all members.”
The invitation of Rev. P. J. O’Cal-
laghan, C. S. P., to hold the next con-
vention in Chicago was accepted.
The work of the convention closed
with the election of the officers.
Father White of Germantown, Pa.
asked Father Conaty what the Spring-
field diocese could” show as results
achieved. Father White said he was
afraid the tota] abstainers are too apt
to want to exhibit themselves, refer-
ring in this connection to Father
Conaty description of the diocesan
field day, when there was a parade of
1,500 total abstainers, and also a par-
ade of children on the Catholic Tem-
perance Sunday. Father White said
that the total abstainers should work
more. One thing they should do is
to try and stop the practice of the
Hibernian order serving beer at their
meetings and outings.

far, Wilbur Wright, the Dayton, O.,
aeroplanist, badly damaged and al-
most wrecked his aeroplane in the act
of trying nothing more involved than
a new method of descent. Several
days will be required for repairs.
Wright is' by no means disheartened
and passes up the mishap as one of
the things to be expected in the pres-
ent experimental stage of aeronautics.
The accident happened on the sec-
ond flight, which lasted two minutes
and was a novel one.” The aereplan-
ist soared and descended at will, exe-
cuting bewildering turns: Suddenly,
as viewed from the grand ‘stand, the
machine lost its speed and began
curving slowly toward the earth.
All appeared to be going well until
the airship was tilted to leeward and

FORMALLY NOTIFIED
Committee Presents Official No-

GREAT OVATION ACCORDED
Non-Partisan Gathering With Repub-

at the Ceremonies.
Lihicoln, Neb.—For the first time
in the political history of the Nation,
a candidate for President has been
officially notified of his nomination in
a city located west of the Mississippi
river.
Before a crowd of from 15,000 to
20,000 cheering Democrats and a large
number of Republicans, William Jen-
nings Bryan was apprised, for the
third time, of his selection as the
candidate of the Democracy.
This was the first time he chose
Lincoln. Once he journeyed to New
York and once to Indiadapolis.”
In" all save the speech-making it
was a -non-partisan affair. Citizens,
regardless of their politics, decorated
their homes. and places of business
and pasted and nailed Bryan pictures
in“ every available place. Republican
county:and city officials acted as mem-
bérs of the reception committee, along
with an equal number of Democrats.
A Republican Governor and other Re-
publican State officers occupied seafs
on the platform.

Thousands of visitors came into
the city, most of them from Nebraska,
despite the fact that the railroads had
refused to make any reduction in
fare.

ernor, Mr. Sheldon, drove at the head

E. Mack of the National Democratic
committee introduced Congressman
H. D. Clayton of Alabama, and before
the treat of the afternoon was an-
nounced, Jochn W. Kern of Indiana,
the Vice Presidential nominee, made
a short speech.
“Shall the People Rule?”
Mr. Bryan spoke exactly an hour
and was frequently interrupted by
cheering. °
his speech the phrase “Shall the Peo-
ple Rule?” Promising a longer writ-
ten reply to the notification and de-
tailed discussion in speeches he will
make during the campaign, the candi-
date declared his present speech
would be confined to a.general hand-
ling of the questions of the campaign.
Mr. Bryan utilizes the Republican
record, the speeches of Republican
congressmen and others, and the mes-
sages of the last Republican President
to prove that this’ party has -been
recreant to its trust and cannot be ex-
pected to do any better in the future
than it did, for example, in the last
session of Congress. Why no tariff
reform? Why no anti-trust laws?
Why no railroad legislation? Why
no protection to the people against
stock jobbers and inflation? Why no
publicity of campaign funds? And,
finally, why wait until after the elec-
tion to make the publicity which Taft
personally, not his party, promises?
These are questions which the Re-
publicans must meet and answer.
* Mr. Bryan, if elected, promises to
start Congress at once in extraordin-
ary session to work on the abuses he
assails.
of privilege is to be attacked, and
their election by popular vote put up
to the country.
Congress is to be relieved of the
despotism which privilege has arrogat-
ed to the speaker, and other related
reforms are to be pushed with a zeal
and fidelity to the principle of re-
storing popular rights and popular rule
that are enough to make the present
obstructive school of statesmen gasp
and temble.

SIX KILLED BY EXPLOSION
Accident Occurred on French Gun-

Toulon.—Six persons were killed
and 18 injured in a gun explosion
aboard the gunnery school ship Cou-

The accident occurred while a num-
ber of recruits were receiving in-
structions in handling a 164 millimetre
gun, the breech of which blew out.
Three of those wounded are in a des-
perate condition.
Experts say the accident was due
to the decomposition of “B” powder,
to which the disaster to the battle-
ship Iena in 1907 was attributed and
in which more than 100 lives were
lost. The men in the turret at the -
time of the accident assert, however,
that the gun became overheated, ow-

being fired.
