Pinkney that on this Sunday he would
tell Of the death and funeral OF the

Turning to the file of The Star, the
Rambler found in the issue Of Thurs
day July S. 's3. a long story of the
! death Of the bishop. and without more
it follows:
THE ,Rt Rev. William Pinkney.

fatigued by his journey. He ate sup

the little shower which fell in the
midst of the exercises a young lady
observed that the bishop was unpro-
tected from the rain. She made an
attempt to squeeze through the crowd
toward the guests stand, but found
that impossible. Then, extending her
umbrella in that direction, she said
aloud and in the most appealing
voice to everybody: oh. Do please,
somebody take my umbrella and hold
it over the dear old bishop She gave
no thought to the feathers and flow-
ers on her hat, which might be ruined
by the rain, but was willing to sacri-
fee all and get wet in the bargain
for the dear old bishop" OF course
it seems to readers now that there
might, in that crowd, have been more
than one person to offer an umbrella
to the bishop. or to put a raincoat
around him. but it may be that the

sistant bishop of the diocese. and
upon the death of Bishop Whiting

in that office. His administration of
the Office of bishop was marked with
great energy He greatly devel-
oped the home missions, and during
his administration more than thirty
new churches and chapels have been
erected in the diocese and the mis-
sion offerings Of the churches have
been doubled. The bishops wife died
in July, 1880. and was buried in Ad-
olson Chapel cemetery, about three
miles from Bladensburg. They had
no children"
Out of this long story in the old
Star the Rambler takes the follow
ing paragraph because it may
awaken some memory in an old
washingtonian:

felt for Bishop Pinkney occurred at
the Payne obsequies. (This ceremony,

THEN follows a long biography of
the bishop, and much of this part
of the story of Bishop Pinkn=y has
already been covered by the Rambler
in those narratives treating of his
coming to this part of the country in
the early decades of the nineteenth
century to take charge of the two
little churches. Addison Chapel, still
standing at Seat Pleasant, and FAINT
Branch Chapel, which then stood
about two miles west of Beltsville.
In this old story in The Star it is
written that about 1856 the bishop,

a vestryman at that time, attended

family of the bishop. &c..
The Rambler visited Addison
Chapel last Sunday, but some of the
matter gathered on that trip will be
saved for use next Sunday. The
Rambler intended TO review the old
controversy between Bishop Whit
tingham and DR.. Pinkney, then rec
tor of Ascension, but that plan is
abandoned. The Rambler has re-
ceived from his friend of long stand
ing, Miss Rosa Mordecai of Louise
Home, little note in which she says:
please do not stir up old strife
that should never have invaded the
pulpit, but let the past bury its dead,
and do not enlarge upon the con-
troversy between Bishop Whiting
ham and Bishop Pinkney."
Miss Rosa's wish is complied with.

THE RAMBLER WRITES OF LAST DAYS AND
DEATH OF BISHOP PINKNEY OF MARYLAND

The bishop was also buried in the
churchyard of that chapel, which with
Paint Branch Chapel constituted his
first ministry in the vicinity OF
Washington. The fact that Bishop
Pinkney was buried at Addison
Chapel was brought to the Rambler's
attention by this paragraph in The
Star. in connection with the ad-
vance story of the funeral arrange

The peak Of the mid-western and

as a result the supposed shortage
has reached a surplus of last years

New arrivals on the market yester-
day were outdoor cucumbers and

These products will come in increas-
ingly from now on.

Smallpox Takes
 Fourth Victim

Smallpox claimed it's fourth victim yesterday afternoon when William Simmons, colored, age 45, of 509 Lind1ey street, died from the hem morragic type of the disease at Engle- wood Isolation hospital where he had been removed earlier in the day. He is survived by wife and three chil- dren.
 Last Saturday Simmons was taken i'll and went to bed with a high fever. Wednesday morning the eruption ap- peared and Thursday morning the Health department was notified. When physicians arrived they found Simmons in a serious condition suf- fering from the hemmorragic type of smallpox which is accompanied by profuse bleeding and hemmorages. He was immediately removed to the Isolation hospital where he sank rapidly. He was buried this morning In Park cemetery in a sealed metallic casket.
 Simmons was never vaccinated, ac- cording to Health department rec ords. The rest of the family were vaccinated today. This is the second adult patient to die of the disease, the other two victims being children.
