they were then in mourning for their cid
est son, James Buchanan Johnston. The
other son was convalescing from the same
disease that had carried off his brother, and
the parents hurried with him to Europe in
the hope of saving his life. They had
scarcely reached Paris before he, too, was
dead The parents never recovered from
this terrible blow. They closed their
splendid home in Park avenue Baltimore,
and the wealth that had been largely ex-
pended in hospitality was devoted to chart
table purposes. In memory of their chill
drcn. they founded and amply endowed the
Harriet Lane Johnston Hospital for Girls
and training school for nurses. Mrs.
Johnston withdrew from the society in
which she had been most prominent, and
rarely left the house except on missions of
religion and mercy. Mr.. Johnston failed
rapidly in health and retired from the con.
troll of the great clearinghouse. His death
now leaves his distinguished widow lonely

lads, full of mental and physical yigor, and
