A I'rofastar TVcll Known In The Dallas
rasaa Away,
There are a few old Academy pupils
still living here and in this vicinity to
whom the intelligence that It. H. Willis
hits gone from earth will awaken a tide
of memories. Not strange will it be If
some of these memories aroof the nature
of unimproved privileges, Prof. Willis
was a most rare student, indefatigably
energetic in his own work, bis assiduity
in requiring the same from those under
his charge was nnwearing. His own
education had been achieved willi
limited means. Ho was graduated at
the university of Virginia where he took
high rank from the first and won un
stinted praise from his professors. His
vacations after beginning his chosen
work of fetching were usually spent in
attending courses of lectures at the best
universities, both in this country and
Europe, with uiiflaging ardor taking new
courses and advancing his work on tho
old lines.
During the lime of his stay in The
Dalles, his 6tudy was in the ancient
Sanscrit. While he was in Baltimore 1 1
John Hopkins university, his work was
in tiie old Gothic, a language wholly of
the past, and of which the only remains
are fifteen pages of one of the gospels
translated by Bishop Ulphllas, A. D.
377. From tills fragment the entire
language has been reconstructed thus
giving of great use in understanding iv
key to the information of our own
language in the fourth century.
Dr. Willis hold many posts of profes
sional honor, but the main part of his
work was in the university of Arkansas,
though for some time before his death
be was in charge of the Episcopal school
for girls in Chatham, Va. The samo
paper which gives notice uf his death
Bays that list term the rooni9 wero en
tirely lull, and that by January 1st the
new building would bo r?ady for use.
On the morning of that day his spirit
had ttkt-n ite way to realms where his
insatiable dotire for learning will meet
fu!kst satisfaction.
Dr. Willis left a wife a native of
Syracise, Y. and two children, to
whom the sympathy of their friends in
The Dalles will be extended.
Hfv. I'ollng'K Lecture.
Mr. P.ding's address on Saturday
evening was listened to bv a well-uiled
house, unusually eo for this town which
lias not earned the reputation of being
very lecture hungry. Tie theme was
unusual. It was the story of one of the
most awful catastrophes recorded in
history and told by ono who was eu
active participant in the work of rescue.
This work, though accompanied by
scones of horror that sent many a brain
distracted, was also attended witii the
most wonderful exhibitions of sympathy
and generosity that the world has ever
seen. It was owing to this that tho
city has been rebuilt, and that the cheer
ful sound of the stream whistles from
car shops, barbe'd wire mills, the im
mense Cambria iron works whose great
pay roll had built the beautiful city, are
again resounding from hill to hill in the
Johnstown valley.
Mr. Poling spoke of the intense feeling
of the bereaved town against the capital
ists who owned the South Fork fishing
waters. This is natural. But If in ad
dition to sending an engineer to inspect
tbo stability of the Couemaugh dam,
which precaution proved whol'y frutile,
the city had stretched an independent
wlro from the dam to the city there
need have been but little loss of life,
though there wou'd have been much of
property. Tho railroad bridge was a
great cause- of destruction, making as it
did a new dam which was indeed im
movable. There will never be another Cone
maugh lake. A railroad now lies in its
bed and tlio o'.d streams that were its
feeders ripple musically down the
mountain side, unmindful of the awful
tragedy in which they ouce had part.
