The Late Edward Koss Charmiiti.
The funeral of K. Itoai Chariimn,
which occurred Wednesday morning at
10 a. m., was largely attended by the
residents of Oregon City and surround
ing country, and Portland and neighbor-
ling towns were well represented. Mr.
Cbarman had been confined to his house
for several months with consumption,
w ith w hich he had Ih'cii alllicted for the
past two years. His death wnanot un
expected, which occurred at his ri'ni
denre in this city Monday morning,
July '.'.ml, 18!o. He was 53 years,
three months and six days old ut the
time of his demise. Mr. Channan was
born in Surrey, England, April llilh,
1 1S42, and was the youngest of a family
of eight children. When ho was nine
vears old he came to America with his
parents, who took up their residence in
Indiana. E. K. Charmaii started out
for himself at an early age, and soon
made his mark in the world and became
prominent in business and social cir
cles in the city of Anderson in that state.
Reports from his brothers, Major
Thomas Charman and t'no late Freder
ick Channan, induced the deceased to
come to Oregon City in 1SS2, and for
several years was connected with Char
man & Son's general merchandise store.
In 1SSS he bought an interest in the
drug house of Charman & Co., which lie
held at the time of his death. In 18oVS
he married Mis Matilda Elliott, who
survives him, but they had no children.

and his genial disposition made him
many friends. He became a Free Ma
son in l$t7, and was a prominent mem
ber of Multnomah Lodge No. 1, A. F.

council and filled other positions of
trust.
The funeral was held under the aus
pices of the Masons, and was conducted at
theresidence by Rev. A. J. Montgomery,
of the Presbyterian church, and Dr. J. W.
Cowan, of the Congregational church.
Judge Thomas A. McBride delivered an
eulogy on the life cf the deceased, that
was eloquent and grand. He spoke of
the upright life of the deceased as being
worthy of emulation, and that here lies
the remains of man, who in life w as hon
ored and respected. The Masonic fra
ternity were well represented at the ser
vices, and hundreds of friends were un
able to gain admittance to the dwelling
to hear the services, but a large proces
sion followed the remains to the grave.
The services throughout were especially
impressive, and Rev. M. L. Rugg, of the
Baptist church, as a Mason, assisted
in the beautiful and solemn burial ser
vice. The metallic casket was covered
with broadcloth, appropriately draped,
and covered with handsome floral deco
rations. The display of flowers was!
grand and the grave was fairly covered
with garlands. The pall-bearers were
Judge T. A. McBride, C . II and E. G.
Cautield, George A. Harding, County
Clerk George F. Horton, and O. O. Hod
son, of McMinnville. Appropriate se
lections were rendered by the chorus,
led by A. S. Dresser.

ceased's property, and besides the ele

said to be insurance policies on his 1 if a
amounting to f 6,5 00.

Mrs. C. A. Hermann, the occasion being

TIIK CH il'TAVqi'A.
Some (UiNcnatliins and Notes ou
(ireut tlatlicl'lng.
Our
All praise and honor is duo the Rcgiua
Ladies' Hand of Corvallis, whoso faith
fully filled their place on the program
and made up lor the deficiencies caused
by the failure of tho other bands to ap
pear. The young Indie are entitled to a
substantial recognition for their services
and another year they should have, more
than their traveling expenses paid. As
aiuat ure musicians they displayed con
siderable skill and their plaving was
well received.
Tho management propose to confer ut
once with the otllcers of the Puget Sound,
Southern Oregon and Calilomia assem
blies in regard to jointly seeming lead
ing talent for next year's assembly.
Tho plan being to get several of the
most noted men and women of the East
to speak ai our assembly in addition to
the local talent. By having the various
Coast assemblies on different dates, or
at least only lap over each others dates
for a few days, the same speakers and
instructors can be at each assembly and
the best talent in the United States ran
be secured at a price that will not fall
heavily on the individual assemblies.
One of the (actors that tended to cut
down the attendance was the fireworks,
bicycle races and ether big gatherings in
Portland and the camp meetings etc. at
other near-by places. Yet while each
of these meetiugs hurt the assembly
they were injured enough by the Chau
tauqua to cause the managements an
other year to so manage their dates as
not to conflict with the gn at Gladstone
gathering. The fact of the case is that
the Chautauqua will be so big another
year as to completely overshadow any
other gathering held in this part of the
state while it is in session.
In order to avoid clashing with other
gatherings next year, it would be well
for the directors to decide at the earliest
possible moment the date for holding the
assembly next summer. Bv a little fore
thought and timely work there need not
lie a single gathering of any consequence
in this part of the stale dui lug the Ch u
tauqua assembly.
Some complaint was made by speakers
and invited guests on the platform dur
ing the assembly, tnat on some of the
cool evenings there was such a heavy
draught across the platlorm that many
of them took cold. This trouble could
be obviated hereafter by having canvas
curtains to hang back of the platform be
tween the pillars of the auditorium,
which would effectively keep out all cold
winds. On hot days or evenings they
could be quickly taken down to allow
a free circulation of air. The ?ost of
these curtains would be but a trifle.
The rough, dusty road between the
Chautauqua grounds and the Southern
Pacific depot was one of the principal
factors that prevented that road from se
curing its snare ol me inautaiiqua
travel. By building a good, broad side
walk the company can another year se
cure a good part of the Portland and Ore
gon City travel to the park, for its cars are
far more comfortable than any electric car
and in speed they are far ahead, making
the trips between the park and Oregon
City and Portland in two-thirds the time
of the electric cars.
While the service, on the whole, of the
East Side Railway was very good, yet
their rule of only allowing reduced fare
to the Chautauqua grounds to those who
purchased their tickets at the main of
fices, caused a great deal of dissatisfac
tion. Notwithbtatiding that the com
pany advertised that these half-fare tick
ets could only be had at their offices, yet
the majority of the people being used to
getting on the electric cars at the most
convenient point and paying their fare to
the conductor, paid littte attention to the
announcement, expecting that the re
duced rates were good to all who were
going to the Chautauqua mec ings re
gardless ef where they paid their fares.
Another yaar tho company should make
some arrangement whereby all passen
gers for the park could have the bene
fit of the reduced rates, for persons who
are forced to pay full rates when others
get half rates are not apt to be in the
best of humor and frequently do not
make the second trip, to the loss of the
electric road and the Chautauqua As
sembly. As to what people from a distance
thought of our assembly, the compliment
that President Jordan, of Leland Stan
ford University paid us may not be out
of place, he having spoken at all the
Coast assemblies and many in the East.
In speaking of our assembly to Mr. W.
C. Johnson, whoso guest he was while
in this city.he stated of the assemblies in
California, none at their second session,
practically being in their infancy, showed
more vigor, or posessed more elements
of success than did the Willamette Val
ley assembly. He was pleased at the
attendance and the beauty of the grounds
and surprised to find so large and well
arranged auditorium. Dr, Gunsaulus,
who has spoken at all the great Eastern
assemblies, was equally pleased at the
flattering prospects of our assembly
He was agreeably surprised at the size
and enthusiasm of the audience that he
found to greet him in this far-off country
The other visitors from a distance were
also astonished at the success of the as
sembly and the flattering prospects there
was for its future success.
The array of talent gathered at the
assembly was such that all Chautau
quails u:ay ho proud of. It embraced
many of tho brightest and best known
men ami women of Oregon, as well as
men who rank among the greatest minds
of the United States. Many ol the lec
tures given were alone worth tho price
of a season ticket.
The success of tho classes has been
such that another year they will become
a leading feature of the assembly. Just
at the close of the assembly, people
began to find out their work and benefit,
and next year no difficulty will be ex
H'rienccd in filling up the classes ut the
first. At the next assembly it is proba
ble that the whole forenoon of each Jay
will be given over to the classes, so that
those taking up the various branches of
study may have more time to devote to
them.
