wealthy Baltimorean, died the other
night, leaving an estate of $4,000, 900.
The kind old man had been for many
years president of an association for
helping the poor, and in this position
had seen so much suffering among little
children that he determined to provide
comfortable sanitarium for them. He
has accordingly left an endowment of
$500, 900 for the "Thomas Wilson Sam
itarium for the Children of the Sick
Poor" and the institution will shortly
be established by the trustees. Mr..
Wilson also left 100000 to be used as
a fuel-saving fund. his purpose being

Of immense quantities of coal when it
is cheapest, this coal to be sold to poor
families at cost. It was in dealing in
coal that Mr. Wilson made most of his
fortune.

A FEW weeks ago, says the Lowell
(Mass.) Mail, we published para
graph concerning woman, in some
PARKWAY land, who had been twenty
years in bed. We have been told of a
case more remarkable than that, in a
town in New Hampshire, within half a
days ride of Lowell. More than forty
years ago, handsome, intelligent
daughter of thrifty farmer of that
town became attached to a young man
in her neighborhood, toward whom her
parents were not favorably disposed.
They would not consent to her mar
rage, and she, although competent to
reason with herself and them on the
subject, gave up school which she
was teaching, went to her bed, and
never again arose from it to work or
go into society. At the time she was
not more than seventeen or eighteen
years old--healthy, sprightly, intel
ligent and good-looking. The world
to her, it would seem, had as many
charms as for any one else; but with.
out the man of her choice-though
that choice may have been regarded as
poor one by her friends-her bed was
her world; and for more than forty
years she chung to it, never once leav-
ing it to help herself to anything out
of her room. The members Of the
family were her servants.
