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.

FOR THE BUSY WOMAN
Complexion Treatment That Requires
Only a Tew Minutes.
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. Here is an opportunity to make
your money work overtime to make one dollar do the work of two.

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."
