SIGHT OF LITTLE
 GIRL IS RESTORED
Bishop Allen Confirms a Large Class at the Catholic Church
 in Gadsden

Gadsden, June 19-(Special. .)-Eunie Burgess, the little nine-year-old girl who was taken in charge by the county some weeks ago, because the father was on the chain gang, and the mother unable to support the child, and who had been blind from early childhood, has had her sight partially restored through series of operations performed by Dr. J. M. Brown, a specialist of this city. The little girl was taken to the poor farm and subscriptions were started to se- cure the funds necessary for the opera tion and her necessary hospital expenses and when this was done the operationsi were begun. It was found that the sight of one eye was beyond repair and all attention was centered on the other. She is now able to walk about alone and will soon be enjoying at least average sight with the one good eye. She made a visit to the city yesterday and was much amazed by whet she saw, as it was her first sight of many things that to those who can see seem common enough, but made wonderful impress sion on the child of nine suddenly given her vision
 Bishop Allen of the diocese of Mobile, was in the city yesterday and confirmed class of nineteen at the St. James Catholic church in this city. The cere- mony was a very impressive one, and was witnessed by a congregation that taxed the capacity of the church, In fact many turned away because of the crowd ed condition of the room. This is the first visit of the bishop here, and is, in fact, the first time that a bishop has visited the city and naturally much was made of the occasion by members of the church in the three cities.
