A great number in Shanghai will learn with regret of the death, which occurred at the Victoria Nurising Home on Sunday, of Miss Elizabeth Swinton. The deceased, who was one of the ablest among the nursing profession in Shanghai, had been at work up to the middle of last week, but was then taken seriously ill. Her condition became daily more serious and death supervened yesterday forenoon.
Miss Swinton, who was a native of Australia, had her first experlence of the Far East in Hongkong, where she was stationed for about a year. About nine years ago she came to Shanghai, being appointed housekeeper of the Victoria Nursing Home. Subsequently she went to the Isolation Hospital, and for the past two years had been employed on the private nursing staff.
A very handsome present has just been made to the United Services Association. It will be remembered that some time ago the Association put forward a request for the gift of pictures or prints for their rooms in the Glen Line building. A very fine _photogravure of HiR.H. the Prince of Wales, in a handsome mount, has now been donated to the Association by Capt. Wi. McIntosh of the str. Fengtien and Mrs. McIntosh.
