CARoLINA,s WONDERFUL BOY.
His Sight L. Restored in Accordance witt
the Lords Promise

the Lords Promise.
Raleigh IN. CO. Special.
The sensation created by the alleged divine
call of the Wake county youth, John B. Sturde-
want, to preach the gospel, increases, and there
are hundreds of believers in the call. Thursday
night two prominent men of Raleigh, one the
principal of a Sunday-school, and the other
for years a teacher in the State Institution for
the Deaf, Dumb and Blind, went to Auburn to
see Sturdevant and hear him preach. AS many
persons as could get in the house were present.
Lying on the bed, with eyes wide open, was the
boy. He spoke for an hour and a quarter, using
vigorous and graceful language. He stated he
was addressing an audience of s, 900 people. His
voice could be heard a great distance. He was
stricken with blindness on Wednesday. as he al
legged God had told him he would be. At 5 o'clock
yesterday, just at the time he named, his sight
was restored. The teacher from the Deaf, Dumb
and Blind Institution and physicians of the
neighborhood say the boy was certainly totally
blind during the period from Wednesday at 10
o'clock A. NJ. to yesterday afternoon at 5, and in
their presence and that of about $50 people sight
was restored. ALI day yesterday the boy was
led about the house. just before 5 o'clock he
took q position in front of the fire in a large
room. Punetually at 5 the boy raised his head.
lowered 1t, raised it again, and cried aloud, II
can see." The people were greatly excited. He
walked through the house, shaking hands with
nearly all those present. The boy is sixteen
years of age. weighs lao pounds, and is very
strong. Three years ago he had an affection
caused by spinal disease. His father states that
one night. while the boy was in a violent fit, four
strong men were unable to hold him. He broke
away from them, and went to the organ, and
played three hymns in excellent style, though be-
fore he was unable to do so. AS he played the
last hymn he made a profession Of religion, and
then calmly lay down. Since that time he has
never had another attack, and has been in excel
lent health. The boy says that if the divine
origin of his blindness and recovery of sight is
not believed by the people, other and even more
convincing signs will be afforded.

Chances of Getting a Good President Under
the Hoar Bill.

Atlanta Constitution.
The history of the government shows that, as
q rule, stronger men are selected for the leading
Cabinet positions than the people select for the
highest Office in the land. Let US look over the
list of Secretaries of State. for example. No one
doubts Dir. Bayard's competency. In point of
political experience he far outranks the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Blaine was Garield's premier. His
capacity for public duty is not questioned in his
party. Hamilton Fish would have been a better
man for the duties of civil administration than
his chief, General Grant, was, and Mr.. Evarts
overmatched Mr.. Hayes in every respect.
Great as Lincoln was, Mr.. Seward was
almost his equal. Back of Seward were
Cass and Black, with Buchanan, Marcy with
Pierce, Webster with Harrison and Fillmore,
Clay with Adams, Buchanan with Polk; and in
the early history of the country nearly every
President had previously served as Secretary Of
State. Six at least had so served-Jefferson.
Madison, Monroe, Adams, Van Buren, and
Buchanan. The list of Treasury chiefs.is almost
as strong; and when the names are brought to.

Death of Captain John Kirk, One of Madi-
sons Most Respected Citizens.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MADISON, Ind. Jan. 1I-Captain John Kirk
died at Madison on Monday, at midnight. of
Briaht's disease, at the age of seventy-iye years.
He entered the City Council Of Madison in the
spring of 1913. and has served as councilman
ever since that time, with the exception of three
years. In 1871 ne was elected director of the
southern prison, and served four years. He
also, while councilman, served three years as
county commissioner. He was born in Hamil-
ton county, Ohio, March %, 1872, and in 1917 his
father removed. with his family, to Madison.
Tue Captain. when a boy, learned the hatter's
trade, and. in 1883. began that business for him
self. He afterwards went into hrick-making,
his last venture at which was a contract to fur
nish about {, 1000. 900 brick for the Insane Asy-
lum at indianapolis, which did not turn
out very proitably for him on account
of the bad quality of clay furnished him, having
1000. 900 bricks to crumble and break, which, of
course, was his loss.
Of late years he has been engaged in works
which are intended to improve the navigation Of
the Kentucky and Ohio rivers, contracting to
furnish stone for dams in the Kentucky and for
the dixie at Rising Sun. The present system of
water-works at Madison was secured by the ex-
ertions of Captain Kirk, who has always been
the leader In all things calculated to improve his
city and benefit her people.
At the breaking out of the rebellion Captain
Kirk e~spoused the cause Of the Union and did
much for the relief of the families of the soldiers
who were at the front. Being too far adyg4nced
in years to stand the hardships of a common
soldier. he accepted the captaincy of a company
of reserves. and cid good service during the
Morgan and Kirby Smith raids, and at other
times when the exieencies of the service de-
manded.

was found about ID miles southwest
from Chadron, from which place it j.
supposed he had wandered off in a fit
Of delirium tremens. and being caught
in a storm persisted from exposure. Ii
is said, when found he had taken off his
hat, coat and boots, which looks as if he
meant to commit suicide by freezing and
desired to hasten the matter as much as
possible.
1t is p~resumable that n. b. Ford, or
as he was commonly called, Badly Ford,
had no funeral sermon preached at his
grave. but if his life and death could be
truly written, it wonld he a very ON
vincing sermon to those of his associates
who are left behind that it is about time

the transgresser is hard.
