In the afternoon, when he recovered con-
sciousness, which continued until his
death. The funeral probably will take place
from Grace church, this city, of which Mr..
McAllister is a member.
Samuel Ward McAllister was born GA
years ago in Savannah, Ga. He prided
himself upon his southern birth, the
length of his ancestry and his social sue
cess. His ancestors were great leaders in
the time of Washington For eighteen
years he lived in Savannah With his sew
enteenth century ideas of social exclusive
ness he acquired the knowledge and belief
which eventually controlled the doors of
metropolitan society.
Leaving Savannah he settled at New
port, r. 1. and made the fashionable popu-
larity Of that place. He was leader of
modish folk by nature and training. 1t
was at Newport that he originated picnics
which made him famous. Though rarely
boastful, he used to say that the food
served on those occasions could not be
matched in the world.
To him wines were as plain as the let
ters in a book. He knew their history, the
philosophy of them and their worth to the
fraction of dollar. He knew the rare
vintages, and could tellon the ends of his
fingers the few private houses everywhere
they could be found.
Professionally Mr.. McAllister was "a law
