CALLED FROM EARTH.
BISHOP GILBERT, DIES SUDDENLY
AT ST. PAUL.
Ends a Brilliant and Use
full Life - His Death Severe
Shock to the Episcopal Clergy of
MinnesOta-FrOm the First of His
Illness Bishop Gilbert Expressed
the Opinion That He Would Never
RccOvcr-Health Undermined by
the ENactinG Duties of His Office.

st. Paul, March 4.-Itt. Rev. Mahlon
n. Gilbert, bishop coadjutor of the
Episcopal church of the diocese Of
Minnesota, died at 3:45 o'clock yester-
day morning. Mrs. Gilbert is lying
very i'll at Faribault, and has been 1ln-
able to be with her husband during his
illness.
Pneumonia was the cause of the
bishops death. A week ago Monday
he returned to ST. Paul from long
visit in the East, having stopped over
for two days to visit Mrs. Gilbert in
Faribault. That day he was taken
with a severe chill and was forced to
go to bed. The following day Dr..
Hutchinson was called and eXamina-
ton showed that pneumonia had set
in in the lower lobe of the left lung.
Twice before Bishop Gilbert had had
pneumonia in his right lung, once six
years ago anu the second time two
years ago: Consequently the right
lung was very weak and the disease
soon affected that as well. AT md
night DR.. Hutchinson visited the bish-
op and found him sleeping comfo"tn-
bly,. At o'clock there was a change
for the worse, and the doctor was
again summoned. When he arrived
at the house Bishop Gilbert was still
conscious, but very weak. Shortly
after 3 o'clock he passed away With
out recovering consciousness.
From the first Of his illness Bishop
Gilbert expressed the opinion that he
would never recover. At the last he
did not think Of death but passed out
into the great beyond as peacefully as
O. child.
The hardships which the bishop ha S
had to go through in the past few
years, the enormous amount Of work
which has been thrown upon his hands
by reason of the inability of Bishop
Whpple to attend to it, undermined
his health, and death is directly the
result of the great labors which he has
performed.
Bishop Gilbert was born March %,
1913, at Lourens Morris, Otsego coun-
ty, N. Y. At the age Of twenty-five
he was principal of the second Gentle
school in Utah. In 1880 he was mar
ried to Miss Fannie Carvill in Phlla-
delphia by the Rev. G. A. Pool. The
early part of 1881 saw him rector CT
Christ church, st. Paul. In 1856 he
was elected assistant bishop of Min
nesota. Just eleven years after ms
ordination to the priesthood he was
consecrated bishop in st. James
church, Chicago.

Of the war office to send out, in addi-
ton to the 10000 troops now afloat,
$4,000 fresh soldiers. Lord Roberts
will ultimately have force of a quar-
ter of million. An order has reached
new guns, from three-pounders to
twelvee-inch guns. OF these 140 are
to be naval guns. Already 25,0OO
werkmen are employed at the arsenal
and 5000 more will be engaged. The
decision to send out more troops and
to increase the home armament met
with universal approval.
The Beers seem to have gotten quite
away from around Ladysmith without
losing a gun or their baggage. Van
ReenaE's Pass is only about twenty
miles from Ladysmith. The enemy
had artillery in action Tuesday, and
they probably utilized both railways in
retreating, seending the heavy pieces
to Pretoria and the lighter ones into
the Free State. DR.. Leyds says that
Gen. Joubert is assembling $4,000 men
at Weinberg, seventy miles
Northeast of Blocmfontein.
Col. Albrecht, according to a dispatch
from Paardeberg, afiims that the
Beers have $1,000 men left. Whether
Lord Roberts is at Bloemfontein now
Or not, he doubtless soon will be dating
bis dispatches there and using the
town as his advanced base.
