Mrs. Sankey Denies the Reports of $ Blindness, and Hopes for Hus- . band’s Recovery from Eye Trouble Which Came with Illness. Unknown to all save a few Intimate friends and his immediate relatives, Irn D. Sankey, the world-famous writer of evangelical hymns and sungs. has been eeriously {11 for two months at his home, No, 148 South Oxford atreet, Brooklyn. He is suffering from nervous Prostration In an acute form, which has ®0 affected his eyesight that at one time M was feared that he would become permanently blind. Mr. Sankey hac undergone an exhaustive operation whereby it is hoped that with Increaslig health and strengih he will ultimately recover full power of vision. The Sankey family ts exceedingly ret- foent concer Ing Mr. Sunkey's illness, but admit that it has been of a gray ebaracter. Mrs, Ira D. Sankey said to a World reporter last night: “\4r Sankey has been very ill, but we arc hoping for the best. Dr. Richard K: Mi of New York, ta attending my husbanu. and he gives us every hope that ulti mately Mr. Sankey’s eyesight will be fully restored. “It is utterly untrue that Mr. Sankey has become totally bilnd or that he is in immediate danger of so becoming. About two months ago my husband was taken fil and our family physician decided that fhe was suffering {rom an exceptionally attack of nervous prostration. This attack resulted in Mr. Sankey having trouble with his eyes which ne- | Gessitated an operation. His progress is slow, but we belleve surcly in the dl- rection of complete recovery, We can- not imagine where the report emanated \ that Mr. Sankey haa pecome blind.” Dr. Richard Kalish, of No, 35 West Forty-seventh street, the oculist in at- tendance upon Mr. Sankey, declined to gay anything about the case Inst night or to even indicate the nature of the Operation performed upon Mr. Bankey's eyes or to say anything as to his witi- mate chance of recovering his eyesight. Ira D. Sankey ts sixty-three years old, having been born in Edinburgh, Law- rence County, Pa., in 180. His father was o preacher in the Methodist Dpisco- pal Church and early In life attracted Attention by his wonderful rendition of hymns and sacred music. When the ‘call to arms followed the fall of Fort Sumter Mr. Sankey was among the first cal to respond. Even th camp he gather:d @round him @ band of singers, and he was an earnest worker in the camp prayer meetings. It was not unt!) 1871 that Mr. Sankey first met Dwight L. Moody, the evan- formed that woderful coali- ion that made the names of Moody and ey known throughout the world, SPORTSMEN'S SHOW CLOSES T0-NIGHT.
