Made Blind BY Coal Fumes.

One OF the most remarkable cases of loss of
sight ever known is that of Miss Maggie Hoey,
twenty years old, an employe of the Water
bury, Conn, manufacturing company and an
active member Of the Catholic church of the
Sacred Heart.
The family-Mrs. Bridget Hoey and her four
dauShters-werc partially overcome by gas
Friday night, the lids having been removed
from the stove at bed time because the heat
was oppressive. Saturday morning none of the
five were seriously ill except Maggie She
complained most of the loss of sight in her
right eye. 1t grew weaker gradually and at 8
o'clock the sight was entirely gone.
Then the left eye began to grow weak in
sympathy. Physicians were summoned but
they were powerless to check the departing
power of the eyes or give the suffering girl re-
lief in any way. 1t is feared that the young
woman's sight is lost forever

Discussing the Claims of Agnosticism.
The Rev. Frank Sewall continued last even
ing his lectures ON The new philosophy"
treating especially of the question, lis God
knowableY' Having treated In the first lecture
of the doctrine of being and shown that in
every existing thing there is implied the three
degrees of being" namely end. Cause and eff
feet. the lecturer applied the same reasoning
10 the existing world as we know it and argued
that the very existence of a world of phenom-
ena implies the necessary being OF a cause and
an end, cause III a spiritual world, since a
material world cannot cause or create itself
and an end or purpose in an intelligent
Creator. 1t was shown that pure being must
exist or stand forth in movable qualities, and
that God is this standing forth OF pure, infinite
and eternal beng IN the movable qualities OF
love and wisdom. Love Is the first substance
and first mover, because the only sClf-mover of
creation, and wisdom is the universal law and
the form in which the infinite love of the
Creator makes itself known. God is therefore
movable IN the love, the wisdom, the uni
yersal order and INV which alone ram accoupt
for the existing world Gods omnipresence is
His presence everywhere in the order of the
creation which is pe-petually going on.
These lectures are entirely philosophical in
method, appealing wholly to the thinking
faculty, regardless of theological tenets.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
1 wish to correct a statement published in

that the dinner was attended by ladies' The

those bombs contain no one is disposed to say.
Some important action will probably be taken
IN regard to the pending law suits. and it is
quite likely that a decision will be reached to
institute suit against Mailman in Phila-

DO some skirmishing with his ultimate
end of forcing Indianapolis and
Washington out of the ranks in view. but the
general estimation is that he will meet with
very determined opposition from some of the
other strong clubs, who would do good deal

THAT there Is no neglect or unnecessary delay
