DEATH OF MRS. E. A. McALISTE

DEATH OF MRS. E. A. McALISTER.
Rev. Frank Blackford, our Portland
pastor. sends the following tribute to the
memory of the wife an Oregon Univer-
salist pioneer, who recently departed
this life at Eugene in that State.
After brief but painful illness SAM
ANTHA CORNELL McALIsTER, wife of Rev.
E. A. McAlister, died at her home in
Eugene. Oregon, July IS, 1896, at the age
of 56 years and 8 months. The deceased
was native of Ohio, having been born
in Licking county in 1889. She removed
with her parents to Oregon when about
fifteen years Of age and settled near
Portland. She attended Portland Acad.
envy and Female Seminary-from which
she graduated in 1857, having the dis
tinction of being the only member of the
first graduating class. She taught in
and about Portland for some years, after
ward in the Willamette University at
Salem, being stationed at the latter place
at the time of her marriage with Rev.
Mr.. McAlister.
The lives of these two most loyal
champions of our faith is of romantic
interest, and cannot help but inspire all
who knew them and understand the
hardships. the trials undergone that
they might bear witness of the truth as
it was enunciated by our church. He.
often accompanied by his faithful wife,
has gone up and down through the val
legs and over the mountains-through
rain and snow to proclaim the Gospel.
His churches we're often Gods first
temples" and many times thousands
would assemble when il was know that
he was to preach. Their labors exterded

quarters in Washington county, Oregon,
four years; Douglas county, five years;
where he established several strong
churches; Shasta county, California for
two years; Lime county, four years; Polk
county, two years; Dayton, Wash, two
years; Lewistown. Idaho, five years;
coming to Eugene in 1888 They built
up fourishing congregations at Albany,
Medford, Dayton, WASH, Lewiston,
Idaho, and furnishing circuits in almost
every county in which they labored.
There was none to follow them. Indeed
the seed was we'll sown but Apollos
was not there to water. He was as the
man of Macedonia who prayed "Come
over and help u.s." Bnt his prayers were
unheeded.
Our friends have lived to see the cher,
ished work of their lives dissipated.-
their labors come to naught. but lived
to see family grow up around them
which bear testimony of their work and
ministry. Eight children have been
born to them. Two have passed on be-
fore-while the remaining six were pres
emit to cheer and comfort their mother in
her last sickness, e. H., Professor in
the University of Oregon, Seth H.. also
Professor in same institution; Frank,
Mary and Ella are students in the Uni
versity, and Arthur the youngest.
The deceased was in every respect e
faithful helpmeet to her husband and
bore courageously priyations and often
times want that our cause might not
lack. She was prominent in every good
work, valued worker in the Eugene
VIC. T. U. and also an honored and USE
full member of several committees which
have charge of our missionary endeavors
in the Pacific northwest. To all who
have known her and labored with her
she will be sadly missed, and her family
are assured of the heart felt sympathy
of numerous friends. F. B.

for all churches to move "up town" after

VACATION CORRESPONDENCE.
FROM EMILY LEE SHERWOOD.
jefferson Barracks


NTHILE in st. Louis our good
w friends did not fail to take us
to Jefferson Barracks. about nine miles
from the city, on the west bank of the
Mississippi. This is place full of his
torical interest. having had such Illus
trious commanders as Grant, Sherman,
Kearney, Hancock, Thomas, Hardee and
others whose names are associated with
the place, with history. song and story.
They also treated us to ride on this
muddiest of rivers, and on another &C.
casion an excursion to Clifton Terrace"
(up the river) for a day. all of which
were most charming, and happy tran
sition from the heat and glare of the
city.
But to us there were two places within
the city environment, peculiar to city
conditions, which interested us more,
for they dealt practically with a phase
of life over which we had often pom
dered. New York, Boston, Chicago and
possibly other cities have similar insti-
buttons. All the same, in our opinion
too much cannot be said for this kind of
enterprises, or about them to awaken
public in crest in phase of education
that may be within a church, or it
may act alone outside of all sectarian in
huences.
The Unitarian Mission.
One of these places was-"The Uni
tartan Mission" on Ninth and Washing
ton streets, right in the heart of st.
Louis's slum district. This mission is es-
tablished on stable foundations. with
men and women of wealth and influence
behind it and popular church to see
that it lacks for nothing. 1t grew from
a little "acorn," as other things grand
and good have in this world, and the
church built fine mission house, with
an airy and commodious audience

Drowned I'm she Natcheez.

Curtis Greene arrived in the city this
afternoon from the Upper Natcheez,
bringing information of the death by
drowning of Mr.. Williams, the aged
father OF Frank Williams, of the Match
eez. The old gentleman was operating
small cable ferry across the river, a
short distance below the point where
Leroy Stark was recently drowned. The
boat is only large enough to hold two OF
three people, and when Capt. Simmons,
Mud" Powell, Curtis Greene and Jack
Sinsel reached that locality on their way
to the mines they could not all be taken
over together. The boat had already
made one trip over and back, and was
again in the center of the swollen and
turbulent stream when the rope parted
and the boat started down the river.
Powell and Williams were the passen-
gers, and the latter jumped overheard as
soon as the accident occurred, but being
unable to swim the waters quickly closed
over his head. Powell stuck to the boat
until it overturned by striking against a
rock, then he started for the shore. He
is powerful swimmer, but the current
was very swift and he only made land.
ing after strong exertion and being
thoroughly exhausted.
Mr.. Williams was about 70 years OF
age, and leaves three grown children two
of them being daughters residing OH the
Sound. One Of them is married to
James Chappell, Of Puyallup, a brother
OF Sam Chappell.
The miners will be obliged to return to
Yakima as most of their supplies were
lost by the overturning of the boat.
Among the property dumped in the river
were two guns, saddle, two pack sad
dies, valise, ammunition, 100 feet OF
rope and keg of nails.
