COOPERSTOWN, N. T.. July 21.
Bishop Henry Codman Potter, of the
Episcopal Diocese of New York, died
her tonight. Death . followed an ill
ness of several weeks, which beg-an
with stomach trouble and developed
complications. For the past week the
Bishop had appeared to gain, but he
Buffered a relapse yesterday, and last
night all hope of recovery was aban5
doned. TWENTY YEARS AT THE TOP
MJlshop Potter Foremwt Figure of
His Church In America.
For more than 20 years Bishop Potter,
as the head of the metropolitan see of New
York, had been the foremort Protectant
Episcopal clergyman In the United States.
He was conspicuous also for his Ideas and
the courage with which he attempted to
carry them otit. notwithstanding that some
times he met with emphatic evidences of
popular disapproval.
Coming from a race of scholars and
churchmen. Bishop Potter was an Intellec
tual aristocrat. But in sympathies and
Tlews he waa singularly democratic, em
phasizing In hla sermons, writings and con
duct the grand truth that all men are equal
in the sight and the service of God. His
apprehension of the dangers that beset
democracy was keen, and his utterances
teemed with his hopes Tor the remedying
of social Injustice.
Bishop Potter was born in Schenectady.
X. T May 25. 1S34. nts father waa Rt.
Rev. Alonso Potter, bishop of Pennsylvania,
and his grandfather was Dr. Nott. presi
dent of the I'nion Coli-ge, and hia uncle.
Rt. Rev. Horatio Potter, was bishop of
New York. With these relations It waa
natural that he should be trained .for the
church. In 1W7 he was graduated from the
Theological Seminary of Virginia, and a
year later was ordained in Trinity Church.
Pittsburg.
The young rector's first charge was in
Oreensburg. Pa., where he served a year
Then he went to Troy. N. Y.. where he was
for seven year at the head of St. John's
Church. In 1S66 ha became assistant rector
of Trinity Church. Boston, and two years
later waa elected rector of Grace Church,
Jv'ew York City.
Rector at Grace Church.
For 15 years Bishop Potter filled he
rectorship of Grace Church, with Its many
and great responsibilities. In 18T5 hi u
elected bishop of Iowa, but declined ihe
honor. We was secretary for 20 years of
the House of Bishops. In which capacity he
became welt acquainted with ecclela U
cal procedure and traditions.
It was natural that when the age of
Bishop Horatio Potter caused him to thii
of an assistant bishop. Henry Codman Pot
ter should be favored for the place. The
abilities of the younger Potter dispelled the
thought of undue favoritism through rela
tionship, and he was elected almost unani
mously. la 1SST Bishop Horatio Potter died, and

JOHN F. CRYDEN,
PAUER, Superintendent, Rothchild Building
his nephew succeeded to the full power and
dignity of bishop of New York. A review
of Bishop Henry C. Potter's 20 years of
service in this capacity brings out clearly
the fact that the one great work of his ad
ministration, for which If for nothing; else
future generations will remember him well,
has been the building of he Cathedral of
St. John the Divine.
Cathedral Not Finished.
The cathedral will not be finished for
many years, but it's construction is pro
gressing and it will form the most splendid
monument to a prelate that could be reared.
Bishop Potter was full of the cathedral
idea of rearing a great temple In which
there should be no renting of pews and in
which the millionaire and the day laborer
should find equality as worshipers. ' At a
gathering of ecclesiastics beside the death
bed of Bishop Horatio potter the general
plan for the cathedral was outlined, and
Bishop Henry Codman Potter devoted much
of his time and energies to carrying out the
plan. The stately structure on Morning
side Heights win not be a one-man cathe
dral, but its foundation walls were laid on
a scale that would perhaps have been un
dreamed of but for the brain and the im
agination of one man.
As the head of a treat see Bishop Potter
w-as not content to know the lives of the
people through hearsay or the reports of
fellow priests, however worthy. He went
for himself Into the sweatshops and the ten
ements of the swarming East Side as rector
of Grace Church, and he did the same as
bishop. One Summer he gave up his vaca
tion entirely to this work. Sympathetically
working with the poor, he came to know
their material as well as spiritual needs,
and this utternaces on coslal subjects were
fearless.
Work for His "Tavern."
His sincere efforts to mitigate the drink
evil caused much misunderstanding of
Bishop Potter. Under his sanction 'Th
Subway Tavern" was opened as a saloon,
where all kinds of intoxicating liquors could
be purchased under Influences that were
meant to be better than those in the ordi
nary saloon. No one was allowed to drink
to intoxication In the place, the saloon was
closed on Sunday, the liquors were pure and
sold at a low price, disorder of any kind
was not permitted and popular literature
was provided. But the saloon did not pay.
it developed Into a show place merely, and
drew upon the bishop the fire of Prohlblton
workers all over the country. After a few
months of experiment the Subway Tavern
was sold to a saloon-keeper, who at once
transformed it into the ordinary type. The
saloon waa aanctloned by Bishop Potter
chiefly because of his expressed belief that
the social features of such a place were of
value to men. and the evils of liquor drink
ing lay in excess.
Bishop Potter was twice married. His
first wife was Elizabeth R. Jacob, of Phila
delphia, who became hla bride In 1S57.
Five children were born to the marriage, all
of whom live in New York. In June, 1901,
Mrs. Potter died, and a year later the
bishop married Mrs. Alfred Corning Clark,
a widow possessed of a fortune estimated at
$13,000,000.
Bishop Potter wrote a number of books on
religious subjects and was given honorary
degrees by many Institutions of learning.
Including Harvard. Yale, Oxford and Cam
bridge universities.
A cablegram dated Queenstown. and
signed by Captain Dixon, of the British
ship Arctic Stream, announced the arrival
at that place of the vessel after a pas
sage of 112 days from the Columbia River.
The Arctic Stream sailed March 29.

BREAKS UP GAME
Cow Blocks Base Line, Forc
ing Players to Go Around.
UMPIRE CALLS THEM OUT
Result Is That Five Men Are Put
Out in Last Inning and Game
Is Easily Won by Five
Pointers.
f
CHICAGO. July 20. (Special.) Many
are the cases of animals or various kinds
interfering with the games In the annals
of baseball, although there are but few
recorded in the games played in the big
league. When two teams of farmer boys
get together in the old cow pasture the
bovine portions of the audience may take
it into their heads to become more than
passive spectators.
McCarthy, who was tried and found
wanting this Spring by the Pittsburg
team, says that he pitched in a game
which was broken up by a bull which
took strenuous exceptions to the red uni
forms of the "Bel Township Stars," and
Cy Swaim relates a story of how he lost
the championship because a mooley cow
ate the ball.
But a substantial story is that of how
the "Five Point Rattlers" beat the
"Blues" for the championship of their
Congressional district in Iowa with the
assistance of a friendly cow.
The game was a close one between these
old rivals, and in the last half of the
ninth there was the traditional condition
of the bases full, two men out and the
best batter of the Blues at bat. The
Five Pointers were two runs to the good,
when Gaffney, who later tried to break
Into the big league, came to bat!
Was Rural Whirlwind.
Although Gaffney was not fast enough
for the big league, he was a whirlwind
when put up against such pitchers as
these farmer teams turned out. The sec
ond ball up looked good to him. and he
drove out a long hit to deep center that
looked good for a three-bagger at least,
and with the possibility always to be fig
ured on In these farmer games that some
one would make an error before the ball

was relayed home, he was counting on a
home run.
i Just then one of the bovine members of
the audience which had been quietly
chewing her cud in another part of the
pasture spied a nice little bunch of grass
on the line between third and home and
proceeded to go after the dessert. She
camped on the line and the runner going
from third on the hit ran full tilt into
her. That didn't bother her cowship,
however, and she still placidly cHewed
away at the bunch of grass. The rutiner
kicked her and shouted at her to try to
drive her out of the line, all to no pur
pose. Shortly he was Joined by the run
ner from second and then the one from
first, but all three of them were unable to
move the bunker.
Meanwhile the ball was being relayed in
from the field, and finally, seeing that
they would be caught if they stayed there,
the three runners ran out and around the
cow and so reached home, but the umpire
declared all three were out. thus making a
total of five outs for the inning.
When "Handsome Dan,' the Yale mas
cot, died there were many dogs offered
by dog breeders desirous of the advertise
ment as a substitute for that famous bull
dog. Finally a little Boston bull pup
known to all the college men as "Tobey
Peckham" became the acknowledged suc
cessor for "Handsome Dan's" Job.
Tobey had one trick of which he was
exceedingly proud. He would chase a
stick, stone, or baseball when thrown and
bring It back to the man throwing it. All
day when not engaged, in the lesser mat
ters of eating and sleeping Tobey would
trot around the campus with a stick in
his mouth and drop it at the feet of any
one who looked promising, hoping that
said man would throw it for him so that
he could show off his trick.
In a short time "Tobey" had won so
much fame by his trick that his master
was known simply as the owner of "To
bey" and was called "Tobej-" also after
his dog.
When the baseball season was started
it was agreed unanimously that "Tobey"
should take the place vacated by the late
lamented "Dan" and he appeared in the
limelight once and only once, lie was In
stalled on the bench in the first game of
the season and of course on the first
ground ball hit to short Tobey lit out
after it. He gobbled the ball up and.
thinking that the. batter was the kind
man who had given him this fine chanee
to show off his trick In public, insisted
upon giving the ball back to him.
Shortstop Gives Chase.
The Tale shortstop started after Tobey.
trying to coax the ball away from him.
but the dog hustled down to first after
the runner. As the kind man who had
thrown the ball showed a strange disin
clination to wait for him to place the
ball at his feet, Tobey followed him to
second, dodging as he went the whole
Tale , infield. By the time third was
reached the outfield had come to reinforce
their fellow players, but still the agile pup
evaded their outstretched arms.

home-plate Tobey managed to get mixed
up with the runner's feet, and the man
and dog went down in a heap, the ball
falling out of the dog's mouth as he
rolled over. One of the Tale men pounced
on it and tagged the man. but tbe ques
tion put up to the umpire was whether
the ball was dead and should have been
returned to the pitcher's box, or whether
it was a put out, and Tobey should be
given an assist via the whole Tale team.
American Gems in Favor.
NEW YORK, July 21. Most Maiden
Lane lapidaries and dealers who give
their attention to domestic gems are re
joicing over a report by Douglass B. Ster
ret, of the Geological Survey, which in
dicates that the production of American
precious stones more than doubled in
value last year as compared with the
year before, the total values of 1907 being
$471,400, while in the preceding year the
total was $208,000.
As this growth comes at a time when
the trade in foreign precious stones has
declined, the friends of fhe native gems
are Jubilant and say that the people are
now awakening to the real beauty and
value of the native stones, some of which
were long regarded as worthless.

when the lifeboat departed and at that
time the captain had ordered that an
attempt be made to lighten the vessel by
putting overboard a portion of her cargo,
which consisted principally of grain and
was valued at $110,000. The vessel was
valued at about the same amount. The
Anubis. the mates said, was leaking badly
and her fires had been extinguished. She
had no passengers on board.
