Her Sight Suddenly Restored.

A Middletown, N. Y, special to the New York
Sun says: Middetown has faith cure mission.
Among the many regular attendants every Sun
day is Mrs. BOyce, who, fourteen years ago,
was attacked by disease of the eyes, She had
consulted an eminent New York oculist, whose
skill afforded her temporary relief. OF late,
however, she could only distinguish light from
darkness with one eye and with the other read
the coarsest print with the aid of the strongest
glass. Mrs. Boyce was present at the services
of the mission week ago yesterday, when Ell
der Hancox, the pastor of the faith cure church
in Jersey City, officiated. and told of the cures
effected by faith and in answer to prayers. She
was deeply impressed, went forward, told her
trouble. and asked prayers for the restoration
of her sight. After she had been anointed with
oil prayers were offered by Elders Hancox and
Conkling. The latter has charge here. The
next day she had occasion to rejoice for her
sight was suddenly restored. Yesterday, at the
services, she was subjected to severe tests, and,
without glass, read agate type readily.

Millionaires' Incomes,

FROM the wall street News.
Cleveland, Ohio, correspondent writes that
Mr.. H. M. Flagler said short time ago that
Mr.. John D. ROckefeller's income had reached
$4,000, 600 year. This startling statement from
man as well informed as Mr.. Flagler regarding
the affairs Of the Standard oil company was the
basis of Il careful inquiry among brokers and
well-lnformed financiers as to the wealth of
Clevelanders generally, and it can be safely
said that there are no less than sixty-three mil
lionaires within the limits of the Forest City,
to say nothing of immense estates owned
jointly by heirs.
Mr.. Flagler's statement regarding Mr.. Rookie
feller's income would make the head of the
great Standard oil trust worth $3.50 600 900 on
6 per cent basis. He said his own income
was "a, 0O0, 900 year, and estimated Col. Oliver
Payne's wealth at about So, OO0, 0OO
But the Standard oil people are not the only
wealthy residents Of Cleveland whose holdings
are represented in seven and eight figures. SeIah
Chamberlain is worth.$ 16, 600 O0O most of which
is invested in the best of railway securities and
the s. V. Hardness estate, divided but a short
time ago between Mrs. Anna M. Hardness and
three sons, is said to have footed up S28 OOO 600
The combined wealth of Jepaha H. Wade and
his grandson, Homer Wade, who has already
inherited an immense fortune is certainly not
less than S7,0OO,0OO.

A Much-N eeded Postal Reform.

FROM the Philadelph1a Record.
''While the Postmaster General is in REFORM
ing mood, wish he would give a moments at
tention to the illegible postmarks on nine
tenths of the letters that go flying through the
country" said a big wholesale dry goods firm
yesterday. 1t is an impossibility to decipher
o great amount Of our correspondence L sup
pose that we Philadelphians, who are accus-
toned to spell out most complex anagrams
and drop-letter puzzles on our street lamps
should be able by this time to fathom the
meaning OF these postal enigmas, but it is q
tough tussle to guess at q nine-lettered wor I'd
when only three letters appear. Don't we have
the post Office address inside the envelope?
ooh, yes, generally; but its essential part il
often omitted. That is, our correspondents are
rarely careful to tell us what state thew hail
from. IL man writes from Cincinnati he In
pretty sure to affix to his address a big round
o., or If from Chicago, he adds a superfiuous
ILL., But il the letter comes from Crisis Cross
Corners, or Smithville, the penman assumes
that the fame OF his native heath is worldwide.
and that 1t would be waste Of ink to mention
whether 1t Is located in Texas, Arizona, or New
Jersey.
'We appeal to the postmark for ruidano
but its black blur is generally meaningless. A
gazetteer will not set US straight for Smith
vile or the Corners will probably be found to
be as numerously situated as Homer's birth
place. In time We accumulate quite heap Of
letters with undecipherable postmarks, which
have never been answered, nor ever can be- be-
cause of the writer's stupidity and the postmas-
ters carelessness. Either fairly distinct
marks should decorate each envelope. or thew
should be omitted entirely"

First Experience In q Sleeping Car.
From the Chicago Herald
II see some queer things while knocking
around the country" said a travelling man yes
terday, "and one of the funniest circumstances
that can recall happened last Friday night I
was running up the Milwaukee road few hum
dred miles, and when left Sioux City my only
fellow passengers were an old man and his wife,
who occupied the lower section across from me.
They had their berth made up early and soon
retired. guess it was the first time they had
ever travelled in sleeper, by thu way they
acted, for they were pretty awkward about un-
dressing, and heard the old lady lecture her
husband for not getting larger room. After
much mutual grumbling all was quiet, and then
came deep snore, accompanied by one a trif1e
more subdued. 1t was evident the old people
were asleep. At Manila Junction a large party
came In and taxed the sleeper to its full
capacity. The porter had to remove the bag
gage OF the couple, which was slowed above
them, and assigned the berth to a little, inof-
fensive citizen weighing about 100 pounds. He
removed his shoes and was climbing into the
bunk when the old lady woke up and began
screaming. This aroused her husband and he
yelled for the porter, who came runni ing down
the aisle. Say, there's man Just come into
our room,' the old gentleman gasped out. The
porter tried to explain that he would not annoy
them and had right to be there. But neither
would believe this and the old man declared
that the porter had let him in to rob them.
He was also indignant to think any one should
be allowed to sleep in the same compartment
as his wife, and finally he and the old lady got
up and dressed and insisted on the porter re-
moving the bedding from their berth, SO they
could use the seats. 1 peeped through the
curtains and saw them both sitting there nod
ding, but every few minutes they would sud-
denly remember and sit bolt upright. pitied
the poor, deluded couple, and really the situa-
ton was not lacking in pathos, for they were
thoroughly in earnest. When I got off the
train early next morning they were still sitting
there, but both were sound asleep, the old
gentleman with his arms around his wife's
waist and her head pillowed on his shoulder"

Profit In Catch-Penny Devices.

From the New York Mail and Express
The thousand and one "drop-a-nickel-in-the-
slot" and 'drop-a-penny-in-the- devices
now to be found in every public place are verit-
able gold mines for their owners or lessees
The weighing machines, the lung testers, the
biceps testers, the music boxes, the miniature
engines, the cologne sprinklers andso on ad in
tinitum, ad nauseam, are all profitable, but none
of the precious lot drives such fourishing
business after all as the machine which peddles
out chewing gum or small cakes of chocolate
under the sednctive-and productive-infiu-
ence of cent dropped in the slot. Four young
women out of every five who cast their eyes on
one OF these alluring pieces of mechanism are
sure to invest at least a cent, and many Of the
victims lay in as much as cents worth of gum
at a single session with the machine. Then,
besides, elder women and men are by no means
proof against the facination Of dealing with the
mechanism. / saw one of the purveyors to
these machines in the Staten Island ferry house
load one with gum the other night and within
twenty-four hours the box was empty. As each
box holds about four hundred pieces Of gum
that machine had done q "a business in twenty
four hours, and probably this particular day
was not exceptional. As the gum costs but pre-.
cious little at wholesale the machine thus net
ted something over IS in one day, or as much
as many skilled workmen earn.
