still gives as close attention to his bust
ness interests as he has done for a quar-.

millions and he has used it freely for
good. The great Bethel, established in
q district that no church movement
reached, q popular church and school of
religious instruction that numbers its
~worshipers and pupils by thousands, is
almost exclusively his charity and has
cost him nearly a quarter of Il million,
He has given thousands to the Art school,
and his last open gift was 500, 900 to the
Young Mems Christian association. He
IS one of those rare men who combine
the most successful Of business qualif-
cations with the most refined of literary

A. L. Goshorn is the youngest of this
group of bencfactors, yet approaches his
sixtieth year. For II year his duties ia
the presidency of the National Lead
trust have kept him much of his time in
New York, but he makes regular visits
west in the interest Of the Art museum.
He made himself first conspicuous for
his management of the early Cincinnati
expositions, which were such marvels Of
industrial exhibitions. These successes
won him the director generalship of the
Centennial, which in turn brought al

oncea At u Cost Of So, 900.
There has for some time past been con
siderable talk regarding the building Of
a Sisters hospital ~ this city. TEiG-
uYr reporter Moniay afternoon sought
Bishop Hrondcl Of Helena, who has been
in the city for the past three days, with
a view Of asccrtaining whether the pro-
\ posed structure had been fully and
4 finally decided upon.
4 70 the inquiries made the bishop said
that the excavation for the new hospital
\ is to begin at oncc or, at the larthcst. by
the first Of April. The ground upon
1 which the same is To be erected was pur-
chased last November for $1,000 and
consists Of three lots on the southwest
corner Of Sixteenth street and Third
avenue north.
The new hospital Is to hc similar in
design and arrangement to the one
located at Mlssoula, and when completed
will cost upwards Of $4,000. 1t is to be
an imposing structure Of brick with
stone trimmings and will ttcc west. Its
construction will likely bc in charge OF
Sister Superior Joseph and Sister Viii
fred Of the Missoula hospital. These
two worthy matrons of the sick and
distressed had chargeof the construction
Of the hospital at Wallace, Idaho. which
has just been completed.
The bishop was asked as to his opinion
Of the future of Great Falls, to which he
replied that, in his estimation. the city
had "A bright future, il WAS beautifully
situated and, with its resources n un-
limited water power. would undoubtedly
become a large city, it had all the means
Of making it this.
The bishop left for Fort @licnton yes
terday afternoon. where be will remain
several days, after which he goes to
Aissoula to consult the Sisters OF
Providence at that place regarding the
now hospital to be built here.
