GroDn to Vast Amount

Stephen Girard was a rich banker
of Philadelphia. When he died 92
years ago he provided that his entire
fortune, $5,20O0O0, should be used to
care for and to educate orphan or
half-orphan boys.
He limited the number of boys to
1900 And he forbade the use of any
part of the income from his bequest
for any other purpose than bringing
up those boys.
The trustees of the estate have put
up splendid buildings for the boys. They
have a faculty so large that there is
one teacher to every three and one-half
students. Yet the surplus has been
reinvested until now the original So
100000 is said to have grown to 500,
600, 600 or more.

SCENES OF HORROR
IN CITY OF TOKYO
Thousands in Supposed
Safety Burned to Death.

AS normal conditions are slowly re-
stored in Tokyo, dramatic stories are
being told of incidents during the fire
which destroyed the city Immediately
following the earthquake Of September
l last. Among these are many stories
of the actions of japanese Christians
which are received by the Episcopal
church in connection with the fund
which is being raised to rebuild Chris
tian churches which were destroyed
in the disaster. One tells Of Chris
tian convert, G. Higuchi, by name.
Higuchi, incidentally, means literally
mouth of fire" He was a member
CT the Church of True Light in the
Stun section of Tokyo, and among the
$4,000 who took refuge in the military
stores enclosure, 80 ,0G0 of whom were
burned to death.
The refugees sought safety in the
military stores on the advice of a
japanese police official, who, after
viewing the scene of horror there on
the following day, killed himself
through remorse over having recon-
mended the place as refuge from
the flames. At the time there was no
thought that the fire would spread to
this great open space of % acres, so
the people. carrying with them their
household goods and fleeing from the
destroyed section took possession of
the Enclosure, which within. an hour
was jammed with solid mass of peo-
pie. Rev. Y Sugiura. Christian min
lister living in the neighborhood, tells
this story Says he:
For a long time it was very calm
and comfortable and was no sign of
any such calamity as was impending.
All the people there had the idea that
the danger would pass away when the
houses in the immediate neighborhood
were burned down. Then suddenly
without warning there was a terrific
noise. and the air was filed with OBJ
iects whirled up by the fearful force
of blast of wind. Instantly every
thing combuStible in the whole mass
seemed to be swept into the air in
to the ground upon the poor victims
below.
Zone hoy luckier than the rest, was
carried two miles and dropped un-
harmed into the water of the canal
The place was now veritable hell
where the people We're being burned
| alive in the very place to which they
! had fed for refuge, and the goods
| they had carried there for safety We're
converted into fuel to make their
death more terrible. Cries for moth
ers. cries for husbands-a universal
shrek arose from the mass and con
tinued for about ten minutes, and then
silence fell and there was no sound
but the cracking of the flames.
"Then occurred a wonderful thing
A native Christian stood up and
preached a sermon to those who We're
facing death. Those who heard the
sermon say it was short, but above
the roaring of the flames they heard
distinctly the closing words:
"Iord Jesus. | Gomez he cried and
fell into the flames"
Mr.. Higuchi's mother. who was lying
at his feet. was rescued, though pitiful-
ly burned, and told the story to Mr.
Sugiura.
