turesque darky cabins, noted for thrtr
fllmty. happy-go-lucky construction, had
bean converted by the wind Into wholeaalt
deathtrap, it was in tha fall of these
cabins, -,Wt went down almost without
warning, that most of the negro deaths oc
curred. .These always overcrowded cabins
alsa furnlrhed moat of the badly wounded.
The identified white dead early today
numbered forty-two.. In addition tt was
reported that four whiles had been killed
st McCallum, ,Miss., which would bring; th
.white death liat up to forty-alx. Tha nun
Irr of negroes killed was between ISO and

H HattieJitburg,- Wkaa., where nine persons
wer reported killed yesterday, was In com
munication with Ntw Orleans this morning
and reported no damagt or loss of life there,
i Most of thea placesare merely a col
lection of a few storas and' dwellings, so
that tha property loaaea will not reach very
Wig figure. No estimates of property
amage a,v yet been made, with the ex
ception of Amite. La., and Purvis. M)ks..
ths two worst autferars where tha damage.
Which never will b estimated in th ag

through c blt about tu) mllea king.
Tha destruction of Purvis, Miaa.. occurred
St about 10 minutes after I o'clock Friday
afternoon and was all over In a few min

as the oujy available hospital within many
mllea. C. W Cromwell cf Jackson, ldts.,
ia auainptlng to dscriu the atomi said
j I. at nit he could realise was that the air
ui lull tt flying timbers. Thesa th. iters
dealt delk to many persons who sought
safety in the open sir, while the falling
of walls was a still greater peril to thosa
who remained Indoors.
Oner child Is said to have been kneeling In
prayer, her uncle bending over her In an
attempt to shield here, but despite his care,
a timber, which did not touch him, killed
the little girl. Scarcely one brick of tha
school house wss left on tha other.
School had been dismissed only a minute
before the tornado struck. In a field near
the town, a farmer who was plowing saw
tha storm approach and managed to get
the members of his family outdoors and
behind stumps before the wind came. The
house-was blown awsy, but nona of the
farmer family' was Injured. One of the
children killed Is said to have been lifted
high in the air. and while still wall above
the ground to have been struck by a heavy
flying timber which caused Its death.
When tha atorm was over, a special train
bearing twelve physicians and fifteen other
persons went to Pervls. Meanwhile a sec
ond relief train started for Lumberton.
Ona train was stopped by a woman wav
ing a red cloth and when the engineer ran
ahead to, see what aha wanted, th woman
fainted and th engineer found that th
rd color of th cloth was caused by blood.
A search revealed her horn near the rail
road and three members of her family war
found dead and four injuied.
A man who drove into Purvis last night
reported'that he aaw th .bodies of several
dead, whom he took to be negroes, lymg

Bartholin, chairman of the committee on

It was a beautiful and Impressive service
arranged especially for the occasion. A
large number of friends were present. Short
addresses were made by Rev. A. t Shcr
rell and Judge? J. tv. Savage, and the sing
ing was led by Miss Pennell, whom we all
remember as on of the sweetest ot
Trinity's bygone cholrster. The bishop
was happy in the fuUflllraent of another of
his cherished projects. His people and
friends rejoiced with him and altogether It
waa an occasion long to be remembered.

permit tho admission of adults, and the

gave the number of children treated aa

"Upon th completion of th hospital
building th whole property was transferred
to the cathedral chapter of tu diocese,
which assumed Its nominal control. After
Bishop Clarkson's death In March 1884,
Mrs. Clarkson was mads its life manager,
and Its present position and success is
largely due to her absolute devotion to Its
work and Interests. It was then re-named

"In 18S0 th full lot adjoining tha hospital
on the east was purchased, and th small
cottage on it waa renovated and furnished
for th us of th nurses. It waa th lu- '
tentlon at that time to erect a large ad
dition to tha old hospital building, but that
plan was afterward abandoned and the
effort of th board were turned toward
procuring a larger and better alta on which
to build and obtaining th best plans for a
commodious building which should have
all th modern applisnces for th handling
and cr of tha aick and injured. This
spot on which we stand waa selected from
many others which wer considered, and li
June, 1906, it waa purchased for the new
hospital site, and In th fall of 1907 the
foundations were laid.
Bishop Clarkaon'a Own Story. .
"I cannot more appropriately close this
short sketch than by quoting from Bishop
Clarkson's own story of th very beginning
of his hospital, which he told us on the
night of its consecration. It Is more pouch
ing when we remember how barely he was
granted his hesrfs desire. He said:
"In 1868, shortly arter I came to Omaha
to live, Pwas In New York attending the
general convention of the church and Dr.
Muhlenberg, the foimder of St. L.uke's
hospital In that city, asked me to make an
address on its anniversary. I had often
visited the hospital and had been especially
touched by the lovely and well ordered
children's ward In that great institution
and had made tip my mind that If God
spared my life I woulc certainly do what
I could to found a chllds' hospltsl. in
Omaha. Accordingly, In my address to the
large crowd of people that filled the chapel
of the hospital I said that I desired very
much to see such an institution in the city
of my home before my episcopate had
ended, and, that If I jould get a nest eKg
for the fund It waa sure to grow. A dear
little child who was present and heard ma
say this returned to her home and opmicd
her mite chest, where her little savings
had been accumulating, arid gave the con
tents, about $5. to me with tho request
that I would make tills the neat egg for
the chllds' hospital fund, and I did so. That
little child, who has grown to be a woman,
is present at this dedication of the hospital,
which has been erected with the fund that
haa gathered around her little nest egK. I
pray the Lord may fill ua with the spirit
of charity and unselfishness and to make
us all willing to do what we can In this
life for the relief nn happiness of others."
Twenty-Fire Years After.
"Today, twenty-five years later, we hsve
j assembled ourselves together for another
service of thanksgiving to Him who has
i furthered us In all our doings with His
continual help and to Implore His blessing
upon our work of erecting this new and
larger hospital.
"Wo are saddened at this time by th
absence of those faithful members of the
board of trustees who have passed away
before th accomplishment of the object
for which they so steadfastly worked. They
were associated , with us for many years
in the business management of the hoeptlal
and we remember them with gratitude and
affection. It wis the earnest wish of Bishop
Worthlngton to celebrate with us the lay
ing of this corner stone, but Providence
ordered It otherwise. We miss his genial
presence here and his helpful words, but
we cannot but feel that the blessing which
ho so often Invoked upon this work rests
upon it and will remain with It!
y'Thls, above all other occasions brings to
our minds -and hearts the loving remem
brance of Bishop and Mrs. Clarkson. They
wer the true founders of this hospital.
Thvy began the work in faith and con
tinued In ' the spirit of charity and un
scIiIhI, liens to the day of their deaths. The
power of their Influence and their example
has kept It up anil curried tt on tlu-nugh
years of patient waiting, until at last we
can see 'the bright dawn ot auccess light
ing up th way to the fulfillment of all
their hopes and plans, and th Lord being
our helper, we will build here a memorial
hospital worthy of their love aiid benedic
tion, which shall be called by their name."
Addreaa by Bishop William.
A hymn followed, after which Bishop
Williams delivered a brief and Impressive
address In which he characterised this as
an epoch-making day.
"We rropose to finlslPthls work In mem
ory of Its founder." said Bishop Williams.
"Tou may ask why Is It that w propose
to expend here $160,000 in building and fur
nishing this structure? It Is because Jesus
Christ still works, ministering to and heal
ing the sick of body and soul, through the
agency of physicians, nurses ar.d medicine
and for the forglvness of our sins. It I
because he wishes us to bring back to men
health, wholeneas and holiness. Let us
write her the loving history of our deeds.
The good women of this diocese hav
pledged themselves to raise $30,000 additional
to the furnishing of this hospltsl. It may
b pleasing to you to know that Bishop
Worthlngton had endowed a room in this
hospital In loving memory of his slater,
ana that Mrs. Worthlngton has donated a
sum sufficient to build a el, pel in this
hospital thst shall be known as the Bishop
Worthlngton chapel."
