LIST OF THOSE WHO ARE BEING
CARED FOR.
Some of the Most severe Cases
Young woman Who Lost Her
Entire Family.

The hospital work at the Auditorium
still goes on under the direction OF Drs
Boyd and Bats. with Mrs. Bates in charge
OF the building and the work being done
there is of a most commendable character.
,, Nearly all OF the patients in Houston, who
were injured at various places along the
coast. nave been sent to the Auditorium.
and there are now seventy-three paints
in the building. These are cared for in the
best manner possible, having the besS-s-
food and good care and medical attention.
majority OF the patients at the Audi
forum are only suffering from temporary
injuries or sickness. and at present there
is only one really severe case-that OF
little Maxwell Cheatham, aged years.
The chlld'5 mother, having lost most 81
her near relatives, including her husband,
has been watching over the cot OF her lit
tie boy for many DAYS and nights. hoping
that he might be spared TO bring some
brightness into the sad HE that awaits
her. but L seems that even this comfort Is
to be denied her, for the little fellow IS
slowly drifting away from her. He was
so long without food after the storm that
he ate too much when food was at last
given him, and 1t deranged his stomach.
Mr.. Wigzel, the gentleman who had hls
neck severely injured, is still improving
and will recover
OF the other patients none are seriously
III, unless 1t is Mrs. Florence Forrest OF
Galveston. and hers is more a sickness OF
the heart than OF the body. She lost
husband father. mother. brothers and sis
ters-lost all but life, and even that is a
burden to her now. Her agony of mind Is
terrible. but she is only one out OF many
all through the land.
Mrs. Bates. the kind lady who has charge
Il OF the building. is doing a noble work.
Q She has grown to love the unfortunate
' people unto whom she Is ministering and
under the bond OF sympathy which now
exists their troubles are hers-from the
old gray boards down to the tiniest tot iu
T. the building. Mrs. Bates Is ably assisted
in her labor for humanity BY ladies OF the
city and by three trained nurses.
There are. with the help, about ninet.
y mouths to feed at the Auditorium, and
Q with all the work OF nursing and watching
that must be done the task OF Mrs Bate!
and her assistants is not light one. bu
y they are doing IL with willing hands aut
10 tender hearts, and much credit is du,
n them. However, they are not looking fo
: credit. Mrs Bates told The Post reporte,
cn two or threa occasions not to mentor
. any names In connection with the work a
