Benjamin Wistar Morris, bis hop of Oregon, and one of the best known members of the Episcopal clergy in the United States, passed away at mdnight Saturday at the family home. Nineteenth and Everett streets, Portland. The end came quiety and peacefully. For several months Bisnop Morris had been gradually failing and his family had entertained grave fears' concerning his condition. Not until last Friday night however, did he give evidence of total collapse. ; HIS LONG SERVICE Bishop Morris was the oldest bishop of the Episcopal faith in America. With the exception of Bishop Tuttle, he had served more years in his present position than any other bishop. ,. He was 86 year old and had been in the ministry 60 year, and a a bishop 58 year. No arrangements as to the time or de tails of the funeral service have yet been made. ' BIOGRAPHY OF THE BISHOP Benjamin Wistar Morris was born in Willsborough, Pa, May 50, 1819, the son of Samuel Morris, Captain of the Firs City TrooD at PhiladelDhia In the lutionary War. He graduated from the General Theological Semimary in 1 1846 He was married in 1 855 to Hannah Rodney, of Lewes. Del. He was ordain ed as priest in 1847, and was pastor of St Matthew' Church Sunburv. Pa. rector of St David's Manayunk, rector of St Luke s. Uermantown, and was consecrat ed December 5, 1868, missionary bishop 1 of Oregon and Washington. ' HIS WORK INCRI30N The first work . of the Episcopalian Church in the Oregon Country was supenntendei by Eshop T. F. Scott, un til 1869, when Bishop Morris took charge On coming to the Coast fol.owing his selection for this field, which included whit is now the states of Oregon and Washington. Bishop Morris at once took charge officially and personally, and was amor.g the most able ministers air1 zealous Christian workers in the North west His tirelessness of purpose, com bined with the wisdom of his administra tion, marked him as no ordinary man, and gave him great influence in every part of the Oregon Country. UUUgli UM lUglMW Ofcllt.. U. church in the Northwest, he found his way a true pioneer, into the remotest settlement, rivaling the typical itinerant preacher of other denominations, in hi zeal, self-deninl and fulfillment of his mission. , Under his administration hi church grew in strength and it intellectual and educational interests were fostered as well as the moral worth of its communi cants preserved. Bishop Morris was also much of a publicist His views on social and eco nomic problems have often appeared in print So widespread was' the field of his labors that he was regarded as not only one of the leading clergymen of Ore gon, but as a representative man of the state.

Captain Segrest said this moming that he was well pleased with the outlook, and prophicied that in three or four weeks he would have a team that wjuld make them all go. Of the new material that reported for practice, Frank Betzel ehowed up reasonably well from the pitcher' box. His instructions were to not over work himself, but for all this the Srubs got only a very few hits off him. Collins is another new man who was tried behind tie bat. He goes right after the low ones, is big enough to reach the high ones, and has an exceptional good wing. With coaching he would make splendid addition to the team.
