Dhnop hopkins, the veteran minister,
Dies at His Sewickley Home.
At 4:SO Tuesday afternoon the Rev. Robert
Hopkins, ID. D.. died at his home in Sewickley,

ministers In the Methodist Church. He was
born near Kane Ridge, KY, on April 4, 1898.
In 1873 he entered the ministry, and as a circuit
rider he afterward became famous as one of
the earlier orators OF the Methodist Church.
For the first three years of his work he only re-
ceIyrd sy3. In 1850 he was placed In charge OF
the Methodist bookstore In Pirtsburg and re-
mained there until 1850, when he retired from
active work.
A vacancy in the bishopric in 1874 brought
Mr.. Hopkins name before the Conference,
and although it was without his consent, he
was only defeated by one vote. Even since
that however, he has been honored with the
title of bishop" One son and one daughter
survive him. They are Mrs Rudolph Lipp, OF
Sewickley and the Rev. Robert Hopkins, Of
Michigan. The time of the funeral has not

NEARLY TWO WEEKS OF HUNGER.
Elmer Collins, the Faster, Passes the Thir
teenth Day of His Ordeal.


teenth Day of His Ordeal. q.
The thirteenth day of the fast witnessed no
material change In the condition Of Elmer
Collins. The faster spent peaceful night, and
rose at IL A. M. He was visited at noon by
Drs. Frank Mcdonald and ]. w. Heustis. who
issued the following bulletin: Weight l29%
pounds; respiration, 20; pulse. so; temperature,
So. This showed a loss in weight of only one-half
pound to uniform losses of one pound on each
of the three preceding days. At P. M. Col
Inns condition was reported: Pulse 72; respira-
tion, Is; temperature, 98. During the entire
day he drank 22x ounces of water and one
cough lozenge.
In consequence of rumors to the effect that
the tablets or cough lozenges occasionally ad-
ministered to Collins contain q certain degree
of nutritious food, it may be well to state their
composition. They consist of muriate of am
monia and Browns Mixture. The latter is
made up of sulphur. sugar. glycyrhiza, wine of
antimony paregoric and water. None Of these
are at all nourishing, the paregoric and wine of
antimony being positive depressives.

AN ENORMOUS DEATH RATE,
Crosby Gray Gives Some of the Reasons for
This Increase.

Chief Clerk Crosby Gray. of the Department
of Public Safety. is making up a report of the
city's health. The report will show that dur
ing the past year there were 1879 deaths in the
citv, which makes the death rate 2o.74 to the
l,OOC.
In speaking of the matter yesterday Mr.. Gray
said: "Of course, this is a very large death
rate. but tits not nearly SO great as that Of
many other cities. 1t could be reduced if the
people would take more precautions. The
bureau of Health does all il can under the
law. All cases of infectious and contagious
diseases should be isolated. Where there are
any cases of this kind think q sign should be
placed on the door Stating the disease that is
prevalent. Funerals should also be regulated
aud only limited number of people allowed
to attend. There should also be wholesale
use of disInfectants."

but no conductor, and the honest man got
very much put out about not being able to
put up his little nickel Right here is where
the prize mean man got in his work. When
he caught sight of that nickel he held out his

dropped the nimbe nick in his paw and got
off. The mean man rode on till he heard the

on an open space Immediately outside OF

were invited to send in designs. One OF
the latter represented the emperor seated
on his favorite charger, the horse being
SO placed that its feet should rest on
either side of the entrance bridge. This
is said to have been much admired by
the officials of the imperial household,
but when it was submitted to the en-
peror it was immediately vetoed, on the
ground that it was not in accordance
with the principles of hospitality and
politeness that foreign princes and per-
sonages of distinction who came to visit
him should have to pass under the feet
of a horse bestridden by him.-Ex.
