Death was due primarily to embol- ism in the right leg, following a long - uaL ui jiver ana stomach trouble. ' Bishop Potter suffered a severe relapse . day before yesterday, and though oxy . gen was given, his decline was gradual No arrangements for the funeral have as yet Deen made, but it Is probable that services will be held here and that the body will be removed to New York where a public funeral will be held at Grace church. Biographical. Bishop Potter was first and foremost : a churchman In the sense that the Episcopal church uses that word. He came almost naturally by his standing .' In the church, for both his father mid his uncle were blphops. Hnry Cod . ,'jnan Potter was born in Schenectady, N. T., May 26, 1836, the son of Bishop Alonzo Potter, of the diocese of Pennsyl- Vanla. He was educated In the Epls- " copal academy, . Philadelphia, but like i'hllllpe Brooks he - took his divinity t course In the famous old Alexandria 1 neoiogloal seminary in Virginia, grad ' Hating therefrom In 1S57. Strangely i enough, he did not have a collegiate -i-t education. After his ordination in lflSS. his first charge was In Oreens- .,. fcurg, Pa., for one year. He then went . to St. John's, Trov. where he was rec 9 tor from 1859 to 1866. He resigned ' this position to accept the post of as .v4 Blatant rector of Trinity church. Bos- i; ton, where he continued until he be t came rector of Grace church. New York. In 3 883' he resigned this post tn become coadjutor bishop of New York, to his V uncje, irioraiio rtiiier. ine miter qimi In 1887, and his nephew then became J bishop. , Friend of the Downtrodden. Bishop Potter had not long been in J, his new office when he began to ex hiblt th energy and vigor which later mane nira me leaner or nis cnurcn " One summer. Instead of going n ' J Europe, he decided to remain down In - li the city proper and to look after lh poor of that section. He came to know this life Intimately, and it was about "( this time that he gave forth his fa- ' mom utterance "that the Episcopal w cnurcn, in spite or us magniricent tra ditionp would be a monstrous lmner I tinence" In case it did not exert itself , toward the solution of social problems and the uplifting of the masses of the people. Zilberal Temperance Views. The bishop's liberal views on tem - perance subjected him to considerable criticism. The most striking manifes tation of his theory In this regard was the dedication of the famous "subway tavern" In New York, with prayer and an address by the bishop. This subway tavern was a surt rtf saloon where the workingman, it was planned, could go ana get his drink quietly without be ing subjected to vicious influences. It became the center of sensational at tention for several months in mercurial New York, but at length It li st Ms nov elty, failed to attract the poorer classea, ana within a year or so was abandoned - as a reform saloon and became very like any other grocery. Ah a financial experiment alt" It was a failure. The bishop took many jo;rneys to Europe, where he was received, of course, with marked attention. That this did not disturb his poise in any way was shown by his utterance In London, and his repetition of the same thing when he returned to New York, that "You may depend upon It there Is no love lost between the two countries. I think there is a good deal of gusn about the British protestations of love for America." He was verv liberal with his minis ters and was especially hearty toward Dr. Ralnsfords, at whose views and wavs rnanv New York churchmen at first looked askance. But one day. when a gathering of ministers was at his house. Dr. Ralnsford arrived late, hav lng Just come In from a fishing trio and wearing his angling togs. This was too much for the bishop and he said abruptly. "Oh, Katnsford, please go and put on something canonical, ana Ralnsford did. His Cathedral Monument. The greatest monument to Bishop Potter's memory will undoubtedly be the famous Cathedral of St. John the Divine, which is being builded uu Uni versity heights. New York. The bishop threw his whole soul Into this great work, raised millions of dollars for It, but he did not live to see more than a small part of the magnificent structure completed. He himself never expected to see the completion of the work and did not even expect the next generation to see it, but with characteristic great ness of mind he planned far ahead and reioicert in tne idea that some future generation would enjoy the magnificent sight of the completed cathedral. In 1889-1900 the bishop made a iour- ney around the world, visiting the Phil ippines and highly aDnrovlng the work "men uenerai JiiB0 ana me -ijnitea States army were doing In that region. In the winter of 1904-05 Bishop Pot ter took another trip around the world, Inspecting the various missionary sta tions and getting from the Jourirey rich . material for addresses, lectures and! sermons, and bringing before the eyes I of the church what he regarded as the real value of missionary work in for ign lands. In 1903, upon his request' for a coadjutor. Rev. Dr. David H. I Greer, rector of St. Bartholomews church, was appointed. Bishop I'otter was twice married first in 1 858. to Eliza Rogers .Incoh i daughter of one of his parishioners In I areensburg, Pa.

Writers of articles on the care of the complexion seldom lake into considera tion that the average woman has some thing to occupy her time in addition to exercising, massaging and going to beauty specialists. Some sUKKestlons are perfectly ridiculous, as, for instance, one in an eastern magazine which re cently advised every woman to spend two or three hours dallv on horseback On the other hand, here is a simple re cipe that can be prepared at home and whose application requires only two or three minutes dally. Obtain at vour drug store 2 ounc.'s of Rose Water, 1 ounce of Cologne Spirits and 4 ounces of Kppotone (skin food). Take these home and put the Eppotone In a pint of hot water (not boiling) and after dis solved strain and let cool, then add the Rose Water and Cologne Spirits. The dally use of this simple and harmless face wash tones up the skin and re stores the bright, losy complexion of youth. The Eppotone prevents or re moves freckles, tan and sunburn. Thia fine toilet prenaratlon is to ha nre- ferred to powders, rouges and cosmetics. Eastern Sale Methods of Lewis Bros. & Co. Prove Popular This morning at 9 o'clock the doors of THE BOSTON STORE were thrown open to the.public, and all day the place was thronged with bargain-seekers. Ladies' Rcady-to-Wear Goods, Shoes, Furnishings, etc., were carried away in wholesale quantities. Enough Men's Clothing, Shoes and Hats were sold, you would think, to clothe a regiment, while the way the crowds pushed and clamored for bargains was almost enough to turn the heads of the salespeople. Although Mr. Lewis had made such prices as were never before thought of in Portland, he was not pre- pared for the grand rush that followed the opening of the doors. He wishes to apologize to those who were unable to get waited on and has added several clerks to his already large selling force. THE BOSTON STORE is now fully prepared to handle the mammoth business expected for the coming few days. New and even greater bargains will be displayed tomorrow. Lewis Bros. & Co. have been appointed to raise $30,000 on the stock, and mean to let cost or loss cut no figure.

Or I I St. David's Episcopal church, pays the! following tribute to the late Bishop ; Potter: I "In the death of Bishop Potter our, church In America has lost Its great- est and most conspicuous figure. He! was a man of striking Individuality. : with sufficient courneo to vr,r, inmost conviction. Despite environment he was thoroughly democratic, sym pathizing with the masses ami hrlr.ino- to ameliorate their condition. Often he made himself unpopular with mnnv mnn of wealth and influence whose favor It is human to court. I presume few ec clesiastics possess the moral enrage of Bishop Potter. He was eminently successful and useful In his ministry because he was vitally Interested In the welfare of mankind." Rev. A. A. Morrison. D. D., of Trinity Episcopal church said: "The Episcopal church tn America nas lost its most distinguish-.! num. His name will always be associated with the building of the great cathe dral In New York, one of the largest Jn the world. An appreciation of Hishop Potter will be wiltten by t!noe who knew him best, end there i8 m tt lre t'.at I can sav that would add to his fame."
