Archbishop VIM. Ell. Elder, who

81. He was So years of age. OF

During the dark days Of the civ

notable relief work, and thous-
ands of families in this State, both
Catholic and Protestant, can testi-
fly to his goodness and charity.
Il was during the memorable yell
low fever epidemic Of 1878, how
ever, when death stalked abroad
throughout the commonwealth,
that Bishop Elder proved himself
a good Samaritan. With tireless

distress and suffering among the
people, contributing all of his
own funds and raising large sums
by subscription to aid IN the bat

was finally stricken with the dis

BANK or BROOKHAVEN,
Splendid Showing Of the Insane Hos.
pitaI.

At a meeting of the board of
trustees Of The Mississippi Insane
Hospital to be held next month
the steward of the institution will
report that he has about SIS, 900 on
hand from the appropriation for
the fiscal year ending on the 30th
of September, 1904, to turn back
into the State treasury.
The per capita appropriation
made by the legislature is $115
per year for each patient, but for
the past several years the board of
trustees have annually turned
back into the treasury a portion
of the appropriation, thus giving
substantial evidence of excellent
management at the institution.
The appropriation for the current
biennial period is based on an
average of about 1,150 inmates,
yet at frequent periods the num-
Der of inmates on hand has ex-
ceeded 200.
The showing for the fiscal year
just closed is especially good in
view of the steadily increasing
number of patients and the large
ly increased prices Of meat, flour
and other articles of food. The
hospital farm is quite an aid to
the Institution in keeping down
expenses, and is proving more SO
each year.
The hospital appropriation is
drawn from the treasury, and the
appropriation for the current BIZ
ennial period is $685. 900 per an
mum.
Mississippi annually spends
over 100000 per year for the
care of her insane, the hospital at
Meridian having an allowance OF
$50, 900 per annum. The super
intendent at Meridian receives a
yearly salary of $4,000, while the
superintendent at jackson re
ceives 50, 500. During the pres
ent year about $4,000 has been
spent on repairs on the institution
at Jackson, consisting chiefly Of
painting and plastering. The leg
islature allowed the East Missis-
sippi Insane Hospital $4,000 for
repairs and improvements. Clar-
