Gospel Singer L. E. Smith, who was
heard here with mucn pleasure during
the Gale meetings at the Baptist
church, last winter. is just completing
his; years work as hospital visitor and
though his report to the Evangelistic
Association Of New England under
whose auspices he has been working
will show the number of visitations he
has made to the twenty hospitals IN
the city and suburbs, as well as other
statistics. it cannot give a very ade-
quate idea of all he has done. to help
the sick in various ways. Mr.. Smith
succeeded Rev. Seth X. Mitchell. In
speaking of him the Boston Herald
says
He ADDS to the spiritual aid, he
takes TO the sufferers sweet music and
me helps the patients in many ways,
not only while they are III but when
they are discharged from the hospitals
MANY homeless, friendless man or
woman has been started on the right
way through his efforts and with the
hedp of S. U. Sayford. general secretary
OF the association.
Sometimes Mr.. Smith finds the rela-

brighter with his singing. and his auto
harp. He sings the good old hymns
everybody loves. and sometimes the
sweet Scotch ballads and other songs
of thai kind. He prays with those who
need prayer: he writes to the clergy
man OF a patients faith in order that
such mayv him. Often. when q man
or woman is SO troubled in spirit that
the nurses and doctors cannot help him.
Mr.. Smith is able to sOothe and calm
him. and to help him realize. that he
has friends. even in a strange land. AMI
IL he is starting on the long journey
he comforts him by telling him there is,
some one who. will never forsake him.
Mr.. Smiths work has the indorse-
ment OF doctors and nurses. for It is a
help to them in many ways. During the
past year he has made about 500 visits
to the different hospitals, coming IN
contact with 5000 sick people Of il
different nationalftfes. Many could not

DARK AT CHICAGO
Passengers Plunged From Daylight Into Darkness
 A Queer Phenomenon.

Chicago, Jan 12.-Hundreds of pas sengers on incoming trains here to- day were startled by 3 sudden plunge into midnight darkness. The transi- ton from broad daylight seemed i'm mediate and complete as if the rush was into tunnel under 8 mountain. The blackness extended in circle from the center of the city, the radius being a distance of several miles. The duration was over an hour. Unusual atmospheric conditions aggravated by smoke were generally accepted as the cause.
 The phenomenon was accompanied by fall of snow, while a pail of inn penetrable appearing sable cloud en- veloped all thoroughfares and build- ings. Street car and wagon traffic .was considerably hampered. Even greater difficulty was encountered by the throngs of pedestrians who struggled as best they could along the slippery walks, in the absence of street. lamps.
