HONORED IN LIFE AND DEATH
Stomach Malady the Cause Pilot Asso

Obsequies, Which Will Occur Thursday
Next Interment at Ocean View,
At 2 o'clock yesterday morning the
soul of the veteran pilot. Kric Johnson,
passed over the invisible lar that lies
between the life human and tho life
Eternal.
For seveial years past Captain dohn
son hjis struggled agiutiust the eii
croachinent of a stomach maladv that
battled the Wst skill of the medical
world and at last siilxlucd the brave
piiit of the sturdy sufferer. His dis
tress for the past rive months has been
extraordinary, but the fortitude that,
for three score years, aetuated him in
facing, and overcoming, a thousand per
ils, sustained him to thclat. and he
lied in peace, bravely, and without mur
muring, at the age of til years and 2i
lavs.
He was the dean of the Columbia Uiv
r liar I'ilot n(H-iation. his seniority
in the serviee giving him this distinc-
honor, and his funeral will V conducted
under the aupices of the association.
Captain Johnson was bom near Cot-
tenberg, Sweden, on August 12, 1S44.
and through youth and manhood he wa"
of the His loytood days were
assed in the coastwise shipping of hi
native count rv and at IS vears he took
his first trans-Atlantic flight, landing
in New York eity. Karly in ISoJ he
volunteered in the I'nited States naval
service and rendered faithful duty for
two years, serving on the famous frigate
Tennessee and in the Cutg Squadron,
under Karragiit. He was honorably
discharged in 1 !." and continued his
sea career by shipping round the Cae
of Cootl Hoe hound fur Australia. After
a short stay in tin colonies, lie Hhipicd i
to San Franeiseo in the barque Fva, and
for a while followed stcamhoating on
the Sacramento river Soon tiring of
this, he came north to Astoria, arriving
here on Septemlier 2!, lWW. For some
little time he did common sailor work
on the Columbia bar boats, and, subse
quently shiped as second officer of the
steamship California in the Portland
Victoria serviee. In 1872 he became a
licensed pilot on the Columbia river bar,
and for 33 long years he has been a
notable and honored figure in this com
munity, contributing in all ways to the
best and most enduring elements of As
toria's hitory, both as citizen and man
of business.
He has followed his perilous calling
with steadfast faith and probity, to his
own lasting honor and to the credit of
his profession. Not a single accident,
not a single sacrifice of life, marks the
record he has left, and tens of thousands
of jteople have been entrusted to his sail
orly hand for guidance and protection
through the hazards of the deep.
Soon after settling in Astoria he
married Miss Mary Parker, daughter
of Hon. H. B. Parker, of this city, and
to this happy union three children were
born and still survive. Ircna ('., M. Alma,
and Charles H. Johnson, the latter, at
present, second olli-er of the steamship
St. Paul of the Port land -San Franeiseo
line. Most unhappily for the family,
the mother died in 1hk!i. Since her de
mise the late: captain and his children
have lived quietly and with assured
tranquility at the family home, 420
Franklin avenue, in this city.
In the political world, Captain John
son was an ardent, but unassuming re
publican; a member of the Lutheran
church, an active and popular Elk in As
toria lodge, Xo. 1HO, R p. O. K., and as
said before, the dean, and an honored
fellow, of the Columbia PJver liar Pilot
association.
The funeral obsequies will take place

LABOR QUESTION REVIEWED
Many Strangers Intermixed With the
Regular Congregation at the Various
City Churches Last Evening Young
People's Societies Well Attended.
At the Kirst Congregational church
Rev. Luther I). Mahoue favored his con
grcgntion with a imt interesting di
course on "l-aUr )ayj Its Significance
and Origin." He simke as follow:
The holidays of the year come and
go and we give but little thought to the
events that called them into existence.
We enjoy these days because others
have suffered and Isirne" the burden in
the heat of the dav. We are about to
celebrate one of the most important of
all the holidays of the year, ljlsr
I toy."
Then the significance of other holiday
was discussed by the speaker.
"The frenied riots," be said, "and in
ternci inn war lately in progress lie
tucen capital ami labor furni-h sig
nificant illustrations of the danger, h
and ruin resulting from general strike.
While there are no cannon Used in this
war, nevertheless .the destruction is just
as great ami the suffering as character
istic as in a military campaign.
"What i the lalor question? In the
words of one of the leader it is 'that
the workmen in every field of industry,
no matter what that mav h, the work
man whose toil produces the vast an
nual increase in the nation's wealth en
joy mi little of it. while those who toil
les enjoy the the fruits of others' in-
dust rv.'
The condition of labor is very much
improved, but there is chance for much
more improvement. The laboring man
ha a right to complain that ts much
of the burden of taxation falls uixm
him; that the hours of lalsir in many
place are to long: that hi children
are compelled to go into the factories
and the workshop and be deprived of
the free school and the education that
they ought to have; that the lives of
the men are more sacred than the ma
chinery, ami that every safeguard for
the protection of life should In advanced.
I would he glad to ce the day when old
age will draw a ienion, a in (iermaiiy,
where a man has given his life to the
factory.
Advocates the Union.
''Ijilsiring men should Is-ware of sur-
Ircndcring the power that they have.
Kach man should ls a member of his
union, and have wise, discreet men to
manage the same. There has la-en a
great deal of criticism hea-d uon the
unions of the country for the acts of
violence committed in times of strikes.
Such acts comes from the individual
niciiiliers and not from the union. The
second remedy that I could advance
would In? that of education. Many of
the troubles that evi-t la-twccti capital
and labor are mutual misunderstand
ings, and there is no wav for ovcn-oiu-
jing this i-M-cpt by education.
"Die thud rciucily is tfiat ol the Iml-
lot. When we go to tiie poll we should
put into practice with our vol the
maxims that we learn on l.alsir dav.
Our vote should count toward the poli
cies which Lincoln demanded; sinll
maintain labor on its highest footing in
the structure of tiie government. Cut
into pi in till- tin- words of Jefferson mti
fearlessly establish a government in
city, country and state, 'which shall re
strain men from injuring one another,'
even though it does at times violate the
lim-rty of M-rsniiul conduct."
At the First Ihiptist church Itev.
I.ymnn J. .Trumbull soke to his usual

of "The Detective Who Is Never Out

sage to lie found in Ifook of Xiimla-rs
of the old llible, in which is said, "H
Sure Your Sins Shall Find You Out."
In the course of a very interesting
sermon he carried his hearers back to
the time When the Jewish people were
a Hwer in the land, giving a short his
tory of their rise and their final fall,
which resulted from their disolicdience
of fiod's laws, as were defined to them
by their leader ami prophet, Mosea.
From tliis, he dedicated the following
truths:
First Every sinner will be found out
by bis sin, and must face it in the end.
