Just as he was feeling that his vision

WINGED that he would soon sec normally

IRA D. SANKEY, SINGER,
IS NOW TOTALLY BLIND
One Operation on Famous
Evangelist Unsuccessful.

NEW CASTLE, Pa, March 6.-Ac-
cording TO a letter received in this city,
Ira D. Sankey, the famous evangelist
and former partner OF Dwight Moody
has become totally blind at his home
in Brooklyn. The information to this
effect was received by Charles c. Sank
ey. cousin OF the evangelist and IA
nous song writer.
The letter said that some time ago
Mr. Sankey contracted severe cold
which settled in his eyes. His sight
began to fail rapidly and eminent
specialists were called in. but could
give no relief and in a short time
Mr.. Sankey was totally blind. An oper-
alton was performed without Iavora BILE
results. j. is still hoped that a cure
may be effected.
About "a year ago Mr.. Sankey left the
Methodist Church and embraced the
Presbyterian faith. At that time he
said:
Since the death Of Mr.. Moody I have
been at home more than In former
years. and wished 10 worship with my
family in what has been their religious
home for many years
Il have had no quarrel CT difference
Of viewpoint with the Methodist Church.
and am as heartily in sympathy with
that denomination as on the day Join
cd It's ranks ! believe that a man can
De as good in one OF these folds as
In the other. and with me the change
Is largely matter Of convenience and
personal friendship"

SAYS HE CAN GIVE
SIGHT TO THE BLIND
Invention of Paris Savant Transmits Visual Rays to
Brain as Telephone Acts Upon Ear

PARIS. March 6.-Prof Peter Stems
alleges that he has discovered the secret
OF restoring sight to the blind. The
announcement is published in the Re
vue des Revues" by DIT. Gaze. who ex-
plains how Prof. Stems tested on him
a wonderful apparatus OF Prof Stein s
invention. by which the professor is
not only able TO restore lost sight, but
TO give vision to those who have never
known IL.
Prof. Stems took DR.. Gaze into a dark
room and bandaged his eyes so he could
rot see. He heard the professor walk
10 and fro, strike match. and light a
lamp. Then he felt an apparatus fixed
around his temples, whereupon he in
stantly saw a dim light, which enabled
him TO distinguish surrounding objects.
Presently the light became stronger
and DR.. Gaze was able to count the pro-
fcssor's fingers when they were held
up before him and to enumcTatc other
things in the room.
