MRS. A. b. COOK, OF FOURTH
ST., TELLS HER EXPERIENCE

"For nearly three months l nave
been lighting fearful disorder In my
eyes, and at times ! have been truly
miserable" said Mrs. A. B. Cook. OF
525 North Fourth Street, in this city.
EARLY in the winter one of my eyes
suddenly became SO seriously afected
that wss in agony almost all the time
suffering with terrible pains through
my head and behind my eyes ANY
light shining in my eyes would nearly
set me crazy. I could not go to my
meals on account of the light on the
white table linen. / could not go out
on the street, and finally l was forced
to remain In darkness all the time.
"Of course, put my case in the
care of specialists. One of them would
do all he could; then / would go 10
another. He would try and try, but
all TO no purpose. They gave me
glasses which 1 could not use. saw
Ave physicians in all. and all the sat
isfaction I got was the opinion en-
pressed by one of them that l might
be able to go out again in five or SIX
months.
II then determined to go to an eye
hospital in Philadelphia, but Mrs. w. H.
Barlow, with whom we are boarding
on Fourth Street, said to me: BEFORE
>
Charles Lincoln Smith. I suffered for
nine years with pains In my head and
eyes and two years ago he gave me
glasses which relieved me entirely
sNow, although l was strongly adj
yised by some not to visit Charles Linz
coin Smith, I went to see him. ! had
seen in the newspapers OF some of the
wonderful things he had done, so re-
solved to give him trial.
II will never forget my first visit.
NV eyesight was In such condition that
a number of patrons waiting In Charles
Lincoln Smiths parlor expressed sin
cere sympathy for me. but told me at
the same time that they believed that
Charles Lincoln Smith would give my
eyes lust the attention they needed
If he said he could,
"Well, finally my turn came. Now
this Is the wonderful part OF my story
Charles Lincoln Smith seemed to I'M
derstand Just what was the matter with
me almost as soon as he saw me, After
the first visit my eyesight began to
Improve He used his method and pre-
scription glasses, and now my light Is
fine. One of my eyes had become so
scription glasses, and now my sight Is
at all. His glasses even revived the
vision in this eye, and now ! can not
only see With 1t, but can recognize
people across the street with the other
eye closed.
"My general health, which had be-
come run down, Is now In fine condl-
ton. l feel like another woman, and
would not part with my glasses for
any amount of money II ] could not see
Charles Lincoln Smith and get another
pair."

throughout the State to-day, the polls
closing at o'clock tonight. Each
party elected delegates to its national
and State conventions and nominated
candidates for Congress and the Leg
islature. In addition, all of the sixty
seven counties and nearly all the mu-

Offices. rf
There was fight in many sections
of the State in the Democratic party
over the question of whether the dele
cation to the Denver convention shall
be instructed for William j. Bryan or
shall go to the convention without in
structions. The returns tonight are
late and scattered and give no indica-
ton of what the State convention
might do.
The hottest fight of the day was for
the nomination of candidates for both
houses of the Legislature. Twenty-Five
Senator'S. half OF the Senate. and full
House-207 members--are to be elected

to be the paramount issue, and there
were spirited contests in every sec

publican national delegates from Phila-
delphia were United States Senator
Penrose, former Insurance Commission

POSTMASTER FROM

Gives Account Of Strange Expert.
ence Which Recently Hap
pened to Him.

While a man might live In city all
his life without knowing or caring who
had charge of the postofiice through
which he received his mall, there is
not citizen of the counties through
out the State who does not know the
postmaster of his neighborhood. For
instance, there is not "A single person
in the Quinton neighborhood, In New
Kent county who does not know X. j.
Bartlett, postmaster for that section.
and moreover there is no one who
knows Mr. Bartlett who does not real
ize that his word Is as safe as a GER
tilted check.
Postmaster Bartlett was in Richmond
some time ago, having his eyes looked
after. For five or six years" he said,
my eyes have been growing weaker
and weaker. AT first i found difficulty
in reading and writing at night; and
finally could not read at all. My
eyes lost their brightness. They looked
like the eyes of Ii dead fish.

other pair that made all straight lines

and gave me such pains, that 1t was
impossible for me to wear them all the
time. When attempting TO read with
those glasses on 1t seemed that my
eyes were being drawn from my head
with iron hooks. 1t was terrible.
II saw several articles in the news
papers telling of what Charles Lincoln
Smith had done for others. so / de-

self under his care.
Charles Lincoln Smith gave me his
method and prescription glasses. In a
