The Death of Mrs. Garrett Fort.

Although the physicians had pre-
pared the friends to expect the news,
yet the message Saturday morning
that death had claimed one whom so
many had learned to love, came with
shock. Mrs. Fort died a peaceful
death, which was shown in her face
when prepared for burial. Those who
saw her face remarked how like it was
to her before her last sickness.
The following is brief account of
her life:
Mrs. Emma NJ Fort was born in
Cayuga Co., N. Y, Sept. 1, 1888, so
that at the time of her death she was
three months and one day past her 73rd
birthday. Her maiden name was
Phelps. On December 16, 1862, at the
age OF "a, she was married to Mr.. Gar
rett Fort, with whom she has lived a
happy married life for almost half a
century.
The first "a years OF their married
life were spent in the state of New
York. In 1886, however, they moved
to Dickey Co., N. D., where they lived
for 18 years, coming to Newberg, Ore
gor, only seven years ago.
Mr.. John A. Fort, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fort, and his family including
two little grandchildren, Emma, aged
9, a namesake of Mrs. Fort, and Edith,
aged S, together with the bereaved
husband and whole host of friends
mourn her loss.
Mrs. Fort united with the Presby-
terian church when a girl about IL
years of age and those who have known
her do not need to be told that she was
a true and faithful follower of her Lord
and Savior. Her presence and help
and sympathy in the church will be
most sorely missed, yet we rejoice ir
the fragrant memory we can have OF
her, and in the thought that she affords
US another link binding US to the
heavenly land.
Final leave was taken of the body al
the home where prayer was offered
Brief funeral services were conducted
at the Presbyterian church by Rev.
John F. Lyons. The regular choir Of
the church was assisted by Miss Vera
Seeley, who sang very sweetly, "Wher
l Shall See Him Face to Face" Inter.
ment was made in the Friends cemetery
The sympathy of the whole commun.
ity goes out to the heartbroken hus.
band and sorrowing friends. .-Newberg

CONY VS.. GARDINER.
Outlook for Hardest Football Game OF
Season at Gardiner.

What promises to be one of Cony S
hardest football games of the season
will be played Wednesday afternoon,
at Gardiner between the home team
and the fast Gardiner High team. The
Cory boys held their last real hard
scrimmage practice before the game
Monday afternoon, and the boys show
ed up We'll.
Tuesdays practice Will consist most
" of signal work. so that the players
will take no chances in getting in
ilired before this game, which is very
impol can't for the team to win. for, i
they do so, they will be the winners
of the Parley cup. Cony has one VIC
tory ito Ter credit and one tic game,
so that if by any chance she should
lose this game it would be necessary
to play one more game to decide,
which team wins the cup.
While not over confident. the Cony
players and Coach Cole alike think
that the team will win the laurels from
their old rivals. The last game which
these two teams played was a score
less game. and indications are that
the next game will be very close. The
Cony boys will certainly try their
hardest to win the Perley cup. this
year, so that they can place II on a
shelf in the school alongside of the one
which they won from Gardiner last
season

Five Million Dollars
Paid Every Year.

The growth of the great lyceum
movement has been so quiet that few
realize its magnitude. According to
the September World of Today" five
millions of dollars are spent each year
to supply speakers and entertainers
for the Chautauqua and Lyceum
Courses of this country.
In addition to the best and most
prominent speakers in the land, such
as William j Bryan. Champ Clark,
Thomas Brooks Fletcher Gov. Folk
and Gov. Hoch, who give only part
of their time to the work, over two
thousand high salaried professional en-
tertainers are employed.
The Lyceum Movement has posi-
bilities of tremendous good, and is
rapidly suprlanting the vulgar and
vicious entertainments of other days
Augusta will lead the State, if not
New England, this season, with the
big course which is to be given in city
hall. IT is said that the expense of
the opening attraction alone Cthe Ben
Greet PlayersD will be more than the
total cost of almost any other lyeeum
course booked for Maine this year.
Four ether attractions of unusual
merit lave also been engaged to COM
