IRA D. SANKEY is BLIND
SLIGHT HOPE OF SIGHT FOB THE
EVANGELIST.
Associate OF Late Dwight L. Moody,
Returned to Brooklyn Home
Broken in Health.

The New York Times Of today saws: Ira
d. Sankey. the associate Of the late Dwight
L. Moody, the famous singing evangelist,
who recently lost the sight Of his left eye.
has now become wholly blind. A statement
to this effect was made last night by L
Allan Sankey. a son Of the evangelist, at
the Sankey home. las South Oxford street,
Brooklyn. Mr.. Sankey is at his home and,
besides the members Of his family Is be.
ing cared for by two trained nurses.
Although they were not unprepared for ft,
the news last night Of Mr.. Sankey's total
blindness proved a great shock to his friends
in Brooklyn. Dr.. Richard Kalish, the ocu.
HIST who is attending the evangelist, holds
out some slight hope that sight in a moder-
ate degree Will be restored to Mr.. Sankey's
right eye: but the belief obtains generally
among the friends Of the evangelist that
his days Of active evangelistic work are
over. Mr.. Sankey's general health, which
had become impaired, is said to be slowly
improving; but it is believed that the condi-
Stunning his tours.
Mr. Sankey's loss of sight is due to con.
gestlve glaucoma. In the opinion OF DR..
kalish. this condition was brought about
by physical exhaustion from overwork. The
disease is due to an increase in the tension
OF the eyeball. which II not reduced causes
wasting OF the optic nerve and abolition Of
sight. About nine months ago Mr., Sankey
came home from a tour broken in health.
He had worked hard and overtaxed his
strength. He had been ailing before that
time. but felt that 1t was his duty to keep
up his work as long as possible and could
not be persuaded to suspend 1t until the
collapse came.
When Mr. Sankey realized that his eve
sight was failing he called in Dr. Kalish,
who found 1t necessary to perform an
operation. The pain was relieved, but when
his lost sight failed to come back to him
the family and friends Of the famous part
ner OF Mr.. Moody began to fear that If he
did not become wholly blind he would be
found that the left eye did not respond to
treatment. but he was hopeful that the
sight Of the right eye would not be wholly
lost.
It was admitted, however, by the family
last night that the sight Of the right eye
had also failed two weeks ago, and that
since that time Mr.. sankey had been en-.
tirely blind.
A fact which adds to the pathos Of the
case Of the famous evangelist and hymn
writer is that Mr.. Sanlkey himself does not
fully realize the seriousness Of his condi-
ton. and believes his aff1iction to be only
temporary. With characteristic tenderness
and concern he has been most anxious that
his friends and the public generally should
not know of his affliction. and he is said to
believe that his true condition Is not known
to them.
Mr.. Sankey Is now sixty-four years old.
He has been engaged in evangelistic work
since 1874. In that year he met Dwight &.
Moody at the convention of the Young
Mems Christian Association in Indianapolis,
and several months later became associated
with him. "-''"''r
