MRS PEAK.-The services Yesterday a
the United Presbyterian ohnrch war
conducted by Mrs Chas Peak OF Sar
EIaIclsco; Notice has been given o.
the special services which are to be CON
Quoted by her. The large audiences
which listened to her were yerv hivhly
pleased and helped by the plain presen.
tation OF the gospel. Mrs Peak is a
woman OF far more than ordinary ability
peing gifted in presence, voice, manner,
mind and soul. She is not sensational,
her power is in her earnestness, which
comes from a rich experimental kncwl-
age OF the love OF Jesus Christ in her
own heart. After she finished her ser-
mon last night she sang a solo, which
made lifting close to her theme, "The
Opllited Christ" As one Of our eminent
divlnes has said: "She is Moody and
Sanky in one." We consider il A
special privilege to have Mrs Peak con-
duct NEE tings in Albany, and are sure
that the christian people will receive
great inspiration from her work. and
Others can listen to their profit and en-
tightenment. She will preach every
evening at 1880 O'Clock. A pleasing fea-
ture OF the meetings will be the closing
OF the sermon-by solo from Mrs Peak.

feak ON Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
ana friday afternoons, at 3 p m. All are
cordially invited to these meetings.

ASLEEP IN Barn TuB.-The Portland
Welcome tells the following. The man
referred to may be an Albany man; but
the DEMOCRAT has been unable to locate
him: A man giving the name OF Henry
Waterhouse, hailing from Albany, went
into First street barber shop Friday
afternoon and asked for a bath. Ii VAS
noticed that he was slightly intoxicated ,
at the time, but no particular attention
was paid to him, and he was shown in
to bath room. He was heard to splash
around for awhile and then everything
In the room became quiet. So Quiet
that the jsnitor became curious and
looked over the door. The man lay in {
the water apparently dead. The door
was broken open and it was ascertained 7
that Waterhouse was almost drowned. L
A physician who was summoned, how
ever, succeeded in resucitating him and (
be came out all right. Too much boose s
caused him to fall asleep and he had
narrow escape.
