JOHN v. GARLAND,
BLIND ORGAN|ST,

UlES MHUNIAL

For forty years John w. Garland.
blind since childhood, when acid was
put in his eyes by mistake, threw all
his soul into the music Of the organ
his sensitive hands travelling over the
keyboards of the Fifth Baptist
Church instrument.
In 1905, feebleness and iIl-health
made the effort too much for him.
Rarer and rarer became the occasions
when Toby" Garland felt his way
to church and took his seat before
the pipes.
Today he lies dead at his living
place, $50 Tenth street northeast,
where his body was removed from
Casualty Hospital yesterday after he
succumbed to a twenty-four-hour at
tack Of heart disease. He was seventy
years old.
Nurses Mt Souls Flight.
No one except nurses and physicians
was by his bedside. He has a sister
living somewhere near Washington,
but she has not seen him in n long
time, 1t is said. His most intimate
friend living, the Rev. John f. Briggs
pastor of the Fifth Baptist. at Six
and a half and E streets southwest
arrived too late to say gOod-by.
The Capitals only blind organist
struggled through long years OF pa
tient training az the Staunton, Va.
Academy for the Blind before being
graduated a first-class musician. He
came here at the age OF thi' ty, ano
had played for the Fifth Baptist
Church ever since. Until a few years
ago he lived with Mother" Goss, al
1241 Four-and-a half street southwest
When she died he took up his resi-
dence at the home OF Mrs. Kate
weschke, herself almost blind.
Mr.. Garland was a great Bible stu
dent, having read both testaments
thirty times. He was a member OF
the Pioneer Council. No. 1, Sons OF
Jonadab, who will hold special serv
ices for him at the church tomorrow

This is the second time Rida's pen

lie has got him tapped on the head F"
According TO his landlady, Mrs. Mary
Reeder, about four months ago Rida
was flashing money in restaurant
at Fourth and C streets, block
from ilfs home. As he left the place
a thug followed him and hit him on
the head with bottle, knocking him
unconscious. A woman saw the in.
cident, raised her window and yelled
forethe police, soaring OF the robber.
''Rida," said Mrs. Reeder, sis IN
dustrious and carried a large roll OF
money around all the time, and Will

ting It in a bank"
Rida was found by the Baltimore

VESSELS MOVEMENTS
KNOWN TO U-BOAT CREW

AN ATLANTIC PORT. Dec. 20
Gov. R. L. Beeckman Of Rhode Island,
who carried a personal message of
the President to the troops in France,
hSs arrived here.
On the same ship was William H
Thompson, head OF the American Red
Cross mission to Russia. He Is re-
turning to the United States to make
a report OF the conditions in that
country
That the crew OF a U-boat taken
after their vessel had been destroyed
knew when an American transport
left the United States and that the
submarine lay in wait to sink her,
was the statement OF several en-
listed men of the American navy who
were passengers on the steamship
According to the German prisoners
who were taken to England, they
lsnew "al about the departure of the
Steamship, but the submarine had
failed to sink her because of the vigi-
lance of her convoy"

ACTOR At GAYETY
STARTED CAREER :
AS PRIH EIGHIER

A friendly tip, handed to him when
he was furiously engaged in a pugi-
Hs,ic encounter in San Francisco one
ni.ht ten years ago proved the turn
ing point in the life OF Harry Cooper,
heading "The Sporting Widows" at
the Gayety Theater this week. Cooper
was almost on the, verge OF being
knocked out in this particular battle
when an Admirer of his opponent
leaned through the ropes and shouted
to the exhausted fighter:
"Why don't you quit fighting and
be an actor?"
That settled the question OF what
should be the future career of the
burlesque star, who had achieved
quite a reputation on the Pacific
coast as a scientific pugilist. He was
outweighed and outclassed when pit
ted against his heavier opponent, and
this defeat caused him to abandon
the ring game forever and take up
seriously the question OF becoming
an actor.
A few months afterward Cooper got
his chance. II was an offer from a
vaudeville manager TO appear in a
local amateur Offering. The comedian
Hndut EOOu. anu Andl dpptdIdu'i was
his first on any stage. since that
time. in the ten years that Cooper
has spent in vaudeville and burlesque,
the comedian has played in practical
ly every city OF consequence in this
country.
Cooper will be remembered by old
time vaudeville patrons as member
Of the team Of Kolb and Dill. When
Dill abandoned the footlights, Cooper
became partner with KoIb in a black
| face comedy sketch. He took part in
several other vaudeville creations be-
fore leaving that field for burlesque.
The Gayety star is confident that
burlesque will be elevated year by
year until its takes its place by the
side Of the Legitimate shows as a
wholesome amusement for the Ameri-
can theatergOing public.

EYEciGHT RESTORED
BY ARTIFICIAL PUPIL
BY International News Service

BY International News Service.
Long Beach. Cal. Nov. 6.-As the
result of marvellous operation, J. E.
Lenhart, of No. 1854 East Fourth
street this city. who has been blind
Tor twenty years, can now see and
make trips about town without the
aid Of his thirteen-year daughter
Doris, whom he saw recently for the
first time.
Lenhart lost the sight OF his left
eye when q young man. film grew
over the other eye and caused total
blindness. Recently II was decided
that there was sight in the right eye
II only the light could be admitted
Physicians successfully installed an
artificial pupil through which Lenhart
sees instead Of through the original
one.
