NUMBER 44 NEWPORT The men of the Presbyterian Church gave another of their popular dinners In the banquet room of the Church building on Friday evening, Dec. 15th from 6 to 6 o'clock P. M.. The menu consisted of the following ar ticles, Walport . salad, clam chowder, hot biscuits with hon ey, roast beef with gravy, roast pork with apple sauce, mashed potatoes with . cream, baked beans, carrot pudding and hot! coffee with cream and sugar. ! One hundred and thirty plate3 were set. The following experts were in charge of the cooking: Mr. Reslnger made the biscuits, 256, which were fine and all eat en. James Ral made the chow der and It was good enough for a queen. S. G. Irvin roasted .the meat and it was delicious. T. H. Hallcck mashed the potatoes with cream and it was rich en ough to please the most fastid eous epicurean and it was good enough for our grandmothers who mashed potatoes in the same way. Mr. Sheffield made . the coffee and for flavor and mild cxhilerating effect could not be excelled. Rev. Pratt made the salad, sauce and pud ding and it was so fine that some of the ladies seemed to be jeal ous of his success. Mr. Hickox Was dish washer and the dish cloths and dishes seemed to be as neat and clean as a pin. The ladies gave no suggestions or Information in regard to the cooking at all. The men were , left entirely to their own know ledge of the art without any help whatever from the ladies. Each woman, girl or boy paid for their own dinners. Each of he cooks had clean hands and - spotless white aprons and no flour on their nose3. The waiters were - also neat and clean and consist ed of the following young men: Lyal and Harold Colver, Donald Armatige, Harold Wygant and Harold Snider. Elmer Patrick was master of ceremonies. The social and financial part of the entertainment was a great suc cess. Every body enjoyed the unique features of the feast and were well pleased and said they hoped to be on hand at the next feast a year from now. At that time we hope it will be a chicken dinner and that two hundred plates will be set in stead of 130. News was received Monday evening by Mr. Gustison of tLe Life Saving Serrice that Cap tain Charles D. Stuart died Sun day morning at 7.30 in the Mar ine Hospital, San Francisco. The Captain had been operated on, Saturday previous and died from the effects of the operation. He went to San Francisco about two months ago. Friday he wrote a letter to Mr. Gustison, Baying he was feeling fine but was going on the table Satur day for an operation. The sur geons told him he might get along six or eight months al right but the trouble would re turn again. It was stomach and liver disease. lie also wrote let ters to other members of the crew bearing the Bame cheerful news, that he was feeling bet ter. Ills wife and little son Earnest' were present when he passed i away. . Captain Stuart came to Newport in 1911 and took the place of Captain Well ander who was pro moted to the Superentendency of this district with head quar ters at San Francisco. Captain Stuart had been in the Marine Service about thirty years and Vas'near the time when he would have been retired on a pension. It is said Captain Stuart saved more lives of fish ermen while on the . Columbia Itiver thart any other surfman. He often spoke of the good Unto he would have when released from the service. The Captain Was about GO years old. He had many friends in Newport wto were shocked to hear of his suiU ri?n death. He had attained a high place In the Marine Service. Captain Stuart waB noted for his cool, deliberate Judgement , and undoubted courage. No ea was too rough or night too dark for Captain Stuart to re fuse to go to the assistance of thos 3 who were perishing at sea. He was a man of few words, but thoroughly competent to do his duty under the most trying cir cumstances. He served as surf man for twenty years on ,the Columbia River and knew the dangers of that place, and had saved the lives of numerous fish ermen on the rough seas of Pea cock Spit The crew liked Captain Stuart and would cheer fully go Where he ordered them but he never ordered them to go where he would not go him self. But his life's chapter is now closed and he has passed over the "Great Divide" to solve the mysteries of the un seen world. Who knows but that he may be with Joseph Briggs and other friends who have passed on before and have anchored their life boat on the other shore, where storms cease to come and the ring of the, alarm bell is never heard. Capti Stuart is survived by his wife, his son Earnest and a sister, Mrs. Taylor who lives in the state of Washington. The in terment, I understand, will take' place at the cemetery at Nah; cotta, Washington, where his first wife and a brother are buried.
