Se SIGHT RESTORED ASIF BY Mac “Annie Jamieson Became Blind ‘, While Walking on the Street, and for Eighteen Days She ’ Was in Darkness, ‘| After suffering total blindness for @ighteen days, Annie Jamieson, an ac- tress, at the Manhattan Hye and Ear Hospttal is recovering her sight in as peculiar and mysterious a manner as !t was taken from her, The surgeons and specialists who Bave been attending her are unable to Secount for her sudden loss of sight And are almost as puazied over her becullar recovery. Miss Jamieson was out during the season just closed with a Western stock company playing “Nell Gwynne.” ‘With her husband, James Burchard, ahe lives at No, 116 East Sixty-third atreet. She was walling with her pet dow, Laddle, when her sight was taken from her. “Everything became dark," she said, “and I seemed to seo nothing but a big arc light. I had Laddfe on a leash, and lhe seomed to realize that something had happened to mo,@or be tugged his Jeazh amd whined for me to follow him. He led me home, and as I went I could Just distinguish the outlines of persons passing me on the street. “Laddie helped me to find my way ‘wp-stairs, and I groped my way to my room. I struck a match, and knew it Mghted, but I could not see the flame. Everything was dark, I lit the cas, and could tell it was burning, beoause I could feel the heat, but I could not see it, When my husband came in he asked why I had the gas lit, and satd tt was nly 3 o'clock and broad daylight. I told him I had become blind, and he assed his hand over my face, I could not seo it. Then he ran for a doctor.” + Mrs. Burchard was taken to the hos- pital and an examination there puszied the surgeons and specialists, as they could find no defect. She was put on @ milk diet and her eyes were bathed frequently. After remaining in dark- mess eighteen days jer sight returned as @uddenly as {had disappeared. ‘While the nurse wa moving about her woom Mrs. Burchard suddenly ex- claimed: “Oh, I can see your” ‘The surgeons were summoned, and in veyly to their questions she described ‘them. Later she was able to distinguish ectors. It ts now believed she will fully wevover her sight. KISSED DEAD PLAYMATE, MAY DIE Forty Girls Bade Farewell to} Little One, a Victim of Diph- theria, When No One Was Present to Stop Them. Forty litte girls are threatened with diphtheria in West New York, N. J. they having kissed their Httle friend, who lay dead in her coffin, and who was a victim of the dread disease. For weeks past diphtheria and scarlet fever have been prevalent in West New York, So bad has scarlet fever become 4hat one echool has been otosed and a number of families whose Ittle ones have been sufferers are stilt quaran- tuned. No family with children acemed to be safe from the disease, Although every precaution was taken by the Board of Health, it only seemed to epreny. ‘Then diphtheria manifested ttself in the homes where there were childran, Among the firat to be attacked with this last disease were the two children of Mr, and Mrs, Antonio Sambrio, ‘The @lder of these children was a ohtid of five, the pet of the neighborhood. This child died five days ago, and when the news was told her little friends decided to attend her funeral in a body. The ‘house was fumigated by agents from the Health Board and the funeral was held the next day. While the funeral services were be- ing held over tho girl her brother lay tn another part of the house ill with the disease, At the funoral were scores of children who had bec playmates of the girl. Many of them had brought flowers and they laid them about the coffin in which Iay the body of the child, dressed all in white and looking Ufelike. Az the children looked upon the face of thelr little friend they did not real- {ze that she was dead. One of them stepped forward and kisacd the dead child upon the lps. Others followed her example. There happened to be no older person present to stop this dis- play of affection. The little Sambrio child waa buried, and then {t was learned that the forty girls at her funeral had laid them- selves liable to the dread diphtheria. Measures were taken at once to pre- vent the contagion from spreading. Four days have now passed since the dead child was kissed by her com- panions, and as the time limit has not expired, there {s uneasiness not only among the parents of the girls who kissed the dead child, butamong the parents of children who have been associating with the forty children who risked disease anf death in bidding a last farewell to their little friend, THE WORL! ~ETHE UEE James J. Hagan’s May Walk Finds So Many Little Aspir- | ants for Chosen Place that ‘His Position Is Embarrassing. | James J. Hagan, former Warden of ‘Tombs, aud the present Tammany leader of the Nineteenth Assembly | District, is getting no sleep these days, | for there are about 5,000 little girls in the district with an aspiration, to be queen of his “May Walk" tn Central Park. Ho has appointed a committee of his precinct captains to select one, but they are nearly at loggerheads, Each captain thinks that his precinct should produce the queen, as does each tene- ment and block throughout dis- trict, Hagan made himeelf chairman of the queen committee, but he ts sorry that he ever had epything to do with it. ‘The “May Walk’ In to take place on Saturday. When Hagan applied for permission from the Park Commission- ers he sald that he would have 10,000 children in line. Every color and rece is In the Nineteenth, and he at first thought he would escape the responsi- Ditty of selecting “only one queen.” He suggested to the children that he would have an Ite@n, a Greek, an Ethiopian and whatever other kind was necessary, But the children and ir parents will not countenance this ‘angement. He will have to pick out one queen a tand by her, eG y or there ee LEATHER DEALER WINS SUIT. |Selemon Feldatein Proven Perfect His Title to Replevined Goodn, Solomon Feldstein, @ dealer in leather and shoe findings at No, 66 Canal atreet, in September, 190, failed for about $76,000, and his creditors put him into bankruptey. Among his creditors were Cover, Drayton & Loonard, B, Frank & Sona and Chapman & Burt, who, In the Month of July, 1%, sold him about $10,000 worth of leather, of which he sold about $5,000 worth to George Wolf, a dealer in leather in East Elghtieth street. These three firns caused ithe Sheriff to replevy and take the leather from Wolf upon the ground that Feldstein never acquired title to the goods, The leather was seized and put in the store- house to await the result of the trials, The trials came up in the Supreme Court on Monday last before Justice Gildorsieeve, and Wolf, throw his counsel, Messrs. Aifred and ‘les Steokler, claimed that he being a pur- chaser in good fafth and for jue that his title to the leather was perfect. The jury to-day found e verdict tn Mr. Wolf's favor.
