1t appears that Mrs. Hickman left

PurpIn, pastor OF the Calvary Baptist
church Of this city, died yesterday
morning about eleven o'clock at the
City Hospital His death followed an
illness extending over several weeks
time, during the greater portion OF
which he was In the hospital. There
had been flashes Of Improvement
shown at times, but from the first the
physicians attending had held out very
little hope. Back Of the immediate III
ness there was an organic trouble
which undermined the constitution and
caused the patient to grow weaker
from day to day, until final yesterday
morning he passed into the last sleep
and crossed over the great river from
which there Is no return.
The news Of the death OF Dr., Tnrpin
was none the less great shock to
the public at large as there had been
no alarming developments reported in
his condition lately and there seemed
to be \ general impression that he
was on the road to recovery. On the
contrary he had been failing day by
day and hour by hour from the time
he was first removed to the hospital.
When the end came the members OF
his immediate family and some friends
were at his bedside. N,,5ss ~
