THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN, MONDAY, JANDAKI ZO, lOS. CAPTAIN THOMAS RUN DY MOKE Picturesque and Well-Krrown Waterfront Character Dies at Advanced Age. MANY YEARS A SAILOR Established First Large Bath-House and Did Much to Make Swimming a Popular Summer Sport on the Willamette River. Captain Thomas Bundy. an, old-time resident of Portland and one of the most picturesque characters on the local wa terfront, died at his home, 561 Grand ave nuu. at 7 o'clock last nigln of cancer, complicated with diseases of old age. He was S7 years of age and 'this city had bnen his home for 15 years. He was the proprietor of the Neptune Bath-House at the foot ofast Sherman street, which tie established soon after he came here. Captain Bundy was born in Kngland, but went to sea when a youth and spent nearly half his life in sailing the Great Lakes. His only blood relatives in this country so far as known, are two nieces, lfiiiRhters of an only brother, who reside In Chicaso, and a nephew living in Okla homa. He was cared for- durin his de clining years by his adopted son, Joseph Valentine, who survives him. Captain Bundy was born in Brighton, Kngland. May 12, 1S20, and in the year 1844 he sailed as an apprentice seaman out of the port of London, landing at Quebec, Canada. Afterward he made his ma linc headquarters at Buffalo, N. Y and sailed the Great Lakes for 40 years. Lived In San Francisco. About 16 years ago Captain Bundy was smitten with the Western fever and landed at San Francisco, where he assumed a contract to build sail and rowboats, but the venture did not turn out a money success, and he left for "Vancouver, Wash., where he did odd Jobs in carpenter work. Next, he moved to Orejron City, where he built one float for a bathhouse, and at this period he first became acquainted with his adopted son, Joseph Valentine, who has been his faithful companion ever since. The Oregon City specula tion was too slow for the energetic spirit of the old sea captain, and he moved to this city about 15 years ago, locating at tiie old stamping ground at the foot of Ellsworth street. Here he built a small float, where he hoped to teach Portland people to swim, but he was not known and didn't advertise, and patronage was slim. To make financial ends meet, Joe Valortlne or Bundy, as many people call him worked In a neighboring lumber mill and helped to support Captain Bundy. who was beginning to get infirm with the weight of his years. "I'll make a bathhouse pay here yet," confidently announced Captain Bundy In those early days to one or two inti mate friends. But the matter hung fire. Just at this period a well-known member of the Multnomah Athletic Club happened to think that the bath house was in such a quiet spot that It was conveniently suited for young women swimmers who shunned the publicity of the club swimfning pool. The result was that society people be en n to be interested, among them be ing Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett, Mrs. Holt C. Wilson, the daughters of Mrs. J. B. Montgomery and others, who soon became proficient swimmers. Resort Became Popular. "Have a swim at Bundy's" soon be came a Summer salutation among Port land's society folks, and old Captain Bundy and his adopted son, "Joe," prospered accordingly in this world's goods, and they gradually added to their bathhouse plant. Others than Roclety people began to patronize Bundy's, and at times the place was so crowded that the captain was forced ' to reserve certain hours for particular patrons. Houseboats began to dot the river banks hero and there, and the foot of Ellsworth street became a live lier place. His whtte silvery hair, pleasant smile, sociable ways and kindly wel come for 'all who came to see him made Captain Bundy a social favorite. He did not Interest himself in boat rowing or yachts, and frequently said that he was "too old for such things." Neither is It recorded that he ever In a sensational manner rescued any one from a watery grave. "I Just keep a bathhouse; that is my business," he often said, with a simple digplty that was all ills own. It is recalled that Captain Bundy rarely went into the swimming pool to give lessons, and that those were generally given by an assistant. Five years ago a reporter of The Oregonlan tried to make Captain Bundy talk about his past life, but the veteran suddenly turned shy. With great diffi culty he was induced to give his birth place, age, etc., and then stopped. "Ever married, captain?" was asked. Story of Marital Devotion. "My wife died at AiaVerley, N. T., about 40 years ago,", was all that he could be luduced to say. But the cap tain didn't tell of his loving devotion to that wife, wnen they lived at Buffalo, N. Y., Mrs. Bundy's baby .died suddenly and she began to be afflict ed with mind trouble. She became a confirmed invalid and for 20 years her husband was her devoted nurse. She was unable to recognize him until about the last, when shortly before her death she opened her eyes, smiled In affec tion, and said: "Tom, you've been i good husband to me. I've been sick a long tlmo, haven t IT Captain Bundy's Intimate friends say that he once admitted having been married three times and that all his wives are dead. It Is understood that one of his marriages was unhappy. Three years ago he suddenly started to tell the story about "that woman," but stopped. He also admitted serving in the British navy and helping to cap ture African slave dealers, but could not be Inauced to tell -his experiences. His declining years have been made pleasant by the devotion and loving v care of his adopted son, "Joe," and In speaking or this the old captain re cently said: "Joe has been on the boat with uie all these years, and he could not have been fonder of me If he had been my own son. He never once spoke a cross word to me, and he's kinder than a woman." joe possesses considerable Inventive ability and Is clever at mechanics. The captain has had many boy proteges whom he ma terially helped along in the battle of life. Leaves Valuable Proberty. He managed to earn and save money which, with good Judgment, he In invested In Portland real estate when values were a good deal lower than they are now. Captain Bundy's only surviving brother, who then lived in Chicago, visited the old boathous. at the foot of Ellsworth street two years ago, but he has died since then. Old salts are generally Inveterate story tellers about the ways of the i ti " -I 1. rantfttn Rnnnv ! wasn't one of them. His life was a Sim- ; pie and religious one and he couldn't be induced to talk about himself. ' The funeral will be held from the fam- ily residence tomorrow afternoon, but the hour has not been set.

MILITARY HONORS Portland Man Who Died In Philip pines Once Prominent In Mult nomah Club Served Tn Orient With the Second Oregon. . The funeral of the late Frank B. Coyne, Spanish War veteran, athlete and United States customs officer in the Philippines, who died about six weeks ago at Manila, will be held from St. Lawrence's Church, Third and Sherman streets, at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Mr. Coyne was one of the most popular members of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, and won distinction In many field and track events while wear- 9K Jt'St THOMAS BUNDY. ing the colors of that Institution. When the Spanish-American War broke out, Mr. Coyne, with several other well known amateur athletes, enlisted in Com pany H, Second Oregon Volunteers, of which Colonel Charles E. McDonell, now In command of the Third Infantry, Ore gon National Guard, was captain. In tribute to his dead comrade, .with whom he saw service while the Second Oregon was in the islands, Colonel Mc Donell last night said: "Frank B. Coyne was a faithful soldier. His services as a member of Company H, Second Oregon Volunteers, were hon est and helpful in every respect, and I doubt if anything better could be said In his honor. During the campaign in the Philippines I appointed him one of the relief committee to visit the sick an6TJ wounaea memoers oi company n wnu were confined in the different hospitals. His noble efforts in ministering to his unfortunate comrades cannot be too high ly commended, and hie cheerful disposi tion undoubtedly brought 'sunshine to many an 'Unfortunate, beridden through sickness or wounds. "His services in this way undoubtedly saved the lives of many who, stricken with malignant fever, and In some in stances wounded as well, would have given up the battle had not Comrade Coyne labored so faithfully In adminis tering to their wants and reviving their drooping spirits. By his death the world has lost a faithful soldier and a good citizen. May he rest in peace."

Clackamas County Circuit Court Has 160 Divorce Cases Pending Geo. C. Brownell Is Very 111. OREGON CITY. Jan. 19. (Special.) With 12 criminal cases on the docket and more than 160 divorce suits pending, the special term of the Clackamas County Circuit Court will be convoked here to morrow' by Judge McBride. The extra ordinary amount of accumulated business haa been the cause of a special session, in order to relieve the congestion for the regular term in April. Seven men have been in Jail more than two months, charged with the murder of Bingwan Singh, a Hindu, at Jarl & Pang Brothers' lumber mill near Boring on the night of October 31 last. Four Canby saloonmen will be tried on a charge of selling liquor to minors, resulting in the death of Charles Klnzel at Canby, who was given whisky obtained by some boys, and died from the strangulation following a night of debauchery. Leroy Carden, charged with assault, has been an inmate of the County Jail two months, "and will probably be tried at this term. It is the Intention of District Attorney Hedges to get .the criminal cases out ot the way for the April term, but the ill ness of George C. Brownell, who is de- fending all of the men charged with crimes, may have some bearing on the trials. Mr. Brownell is suffering from severe attack of the grippe, and has been confined to his bed for a week. His condition is not improved today and ha may not be able to appear In court to conduct his cases. In this event, they may have to be postponed, as he has had no opportunity to map out his defense. The prosecution, however, is ready for trial, and many witnesses for the state have been summoned to appear. There is nothing to affect the hearing of a majority of the divorce cases, how ever, and probably two score of them have been referred to C. E. Runyon, the court stenographer, and in cases where no defense is entered decrees will be handed down. Judge Cleland's court in Portland holds the record for 24 decrees of divorce granted in one day, but it seems likely that this record will be eclipsed here tomorrow. Never before have there been so many cases on the equity docket pending in Clackamas County, but this situation is due to the bank holidays that prevented Judge Mc Bride from holding court at the regular November term last year.

Congregational Pastor Declares Ob ject Should Not Be Reward or Punishment, but to Do Right for Right's Sake. Rev. Luther R. Dyott, pastor of the First CDngrenat tonal Church, was th speaker at the Y. M. C. A. men's meeting yesterday afternoon. He took for his subject, "TVhen One Is Ready' and said In part: Th old Baying- thai the world owe every mai a living Is true, but every man aim owes the world a life. The man who is el- fl&h In the name of religion. Is not a religious man at all. Many men are parading under the garb of religion mho are no more than miserable hypocrites. On the other hand, many people are essentially Christians, who. If asked the question, would say. "No, I am not a Christian." It Is very essential that we be ready for whatever life has in store for us. The ma jority of men who go Into business make a failure of It at some time In life. And yet. in- spite of the loss of money, these men may he worth a great deal. They start in again, and In many casrs succeed in finding build ing material In the niat.-s r vnk. I would, rather my daughter would be mar ried by a man who Is worth a million but who hasn't a cent, than a man who has a million but who Isn't worth a cent. Many men pass over the line of demarkation between owning their money and letting their money own them. Bvery man should make a life, not merely a living. Tou may call It Socialism, Judaism, Christianity, or whatever you like, but any thing that helps a man to rise higher, to give his life In Its fullnees, Is religion. You haven't found It all. though, until you find the thing which appeals to the whole man. Christ does that. And that la Just why I am in sympathy with the work of the Y. M. C. A. I admire the fine physique of the men who have been in training in the Y. M. C. A. But what a pity to see such men, with broad shoulders, and strong muscles, but -with a gimlet brain. It im not for us to worry about the world to come. We want God now, to help us to live better. Every man should live the Christ life because It Is right, not because of the reward o4 the punishment he will receive. It is' for each man to say, I will do my level best In order that I may reach the level of my best." Preceding the address. John Baeckly, a native of Switzerland, rendered a num ber of selections on the zither, which were much appreciated by the men present. The Centenary Male Quartet also gave several numbers. The meeting opened with a stereopticon lecture by M. A. Keee, in which a number of the curio sities of the Oregon woods were shown. SHOTJIl AID THE TOEMPLOYED Socialist Discusses Economic Prob lems at the White Temple. "The Church and the' Unemployed" was the subject discussed by Walter Thomas Mills, Socialist lecturer and editor of the Seattle Saturday Evening Tribune, at the White Temple last night. All the seats in the church were filled, and there were many standing. ,At the close of the address the audience broke Into ap plause, ended only when the 'assistant pastor, Krank E. A. Smith, called on the congregation to arise and be dis missed. Mr. Mills urged all men present to be sober, to refrain from the use of liquor, tobacco and from high living. ""Orink goes to your head," he said. "Yours may be a very poor head for the work you have to do, but. my " friends. It's tile only head you've got, so it will pay you to take care of It. "The employment of the unemployed is of more consequence than the building of the Panama Canal, or the Government ownership of railroads, or the prosecution of grafters, or the punishment of cor poration heads. , All honor to the Mayor of your beautiful city, who has issued a call to the Mayors of all the chief cities of the Coast, to meet and formulate a plan whereby another way may be pro- viaea lor aeanng witn tne helpless toilet out of work than that of taking him to the city limits and ordering him to move on. "When the great crash came a few weeks ago. the first corporation to dis charge men was the United States Steel Corporation. Just in proportion as these great corporations win the mastery of Dusiness, just in tnat proportion are they unable to employ labor continuously, for the market cannot consume all the pro duct. When tbe great monopolies dis charge men, these unemployed workers must either beg or starve. When such a state of things exists It is for the public to nna work lor tne unemployed. "In Portland there is a wood combine. There are 45,000 families in this city On an average they burn 12 cords of wood a year. They pay about 13.60 a cord. Two dollars of this amount is for the benefit of the private corporation, which gives noth ing in return. The thing to do is to open up - yuoiiu wutmyaro. .rurcnase tne stump age direct from the individual land-owner and let the city thus provide employment for the idle men, and at the same time Men, Isn't This Best? When ynu must have the services of a doctor, isn't It best to bo to one who will tell you all about your trouble and not charge you for It? Then when you know positively what ails you. Isn't Is best to know just what It will coat you to set well? Certainly It !s. If you were going to pay nut money for something else you wouldn't do it unless you. knew how much you had to pay, and what you were going to get for it. This Is the way I run my business on a -strictly business basis. You're every bit as wise as I am when you commence treat ment with me. I examine you and tell you all about your trouble, and it doesn't cost you a cent. Then I tell you how I'll cure you, how long it will take and Just what it will cost. If this meets the eye of a man who, while yet In his prime, through some weakness Is going backward instead of forward. I want him to come and'-let me show him bow I am t akin it broken-down wrecks of hu manity every day of my life and fixing them up as good as any man of their years. I don't care what has caused the trouble, nor what has failed to cure them. I can cure them and make them better and stronger than they ever hoped to be. Just because some other specialist has failed to cure you is no good reason why I should fall.

But when private corporations, and the con tracts you have nade with them are rob bing your children and mine of food and shelter and clothing and proper educa tion, when they are being robbed of all the sweetness of life, then I say with Christ to the men who are making this possible, 'Whosoever shall offend one of these little ones.

Morrison Preaches Ser mon Especially to Athletes. The morning services of the Trinity Episcopal Church yesterday were at tended by the members of the Multno mah Amateur Athletic Club In a body, as a mark of honor to the pastor, Dr. A. A. Morrison, who Is a member of the club. The sermon was addressed par ticularly, to the members of the club, the text chosen being the words of John In tbe second chapter of his first epistle, in which he says: "I have written unto you young men because you are strong."
