An unknown person of Williams
burg, Va, who signs himsolf "A
Rebel of 1865, a patriot of 1876,
observing that tho last monthly dobt
statement fixed tho national dobt at
$2,244,42G,981 rs, has written to
Secretary Bristow a letter inclosing
twenty-five cents "to pay tho last
two figures" and Expresses tho hope
that five other persons as patriotic
as himself may bo found during the
Centennial year who will liquidato
the debt by each paying off two OF
the remaining ten figures.
Suppose" said lawyer to a wit
ness he was trying to badger, "snp.
pose I should toll you that I could
bring dozen men Of your town to
this court room who would say they
would not believe you on oath, what
would you say :" And calmly tho
witness made his reply: II would
say you lied A gentle smilo diff
fused itself all over tho courtroom,
Oh tho unrufflcd witness stepped

Michael e.. Kerr,

Michael @. Kerr, Speaker of the House OF
Representatives whose death is announced in
our telegraphic columns. was native OF Penn
sylvania, and was bora near Titusville, March
Is, 1927. His parents were poor and he owed
his education chiefly to his own efforts. In
1851 he graduated from the Louisville Univer.
sity and the next year removed from Ken
lucky, where he had been living, to New Alba
ny, Indiana, and began the practice of the law.
In 1854 he was chosen city attorney and in 1856
prosec uting attorney for the county. In 1856
he was elected to the lower branch of the state
Legislature, and in 1862 reporter of opinions of
the Supreme Court. In 1864 he was elected by
the Democrats a member of the Thirty ninth
Congress, and served on the committees on
private land claims and accounts He was re-
elected to the Fortieth, Forty.frst and Forty
second Congresses, bat in 1873 he was defeated
for congressmau-at-large by Godlove S. Orth.
He was elected to the present Congress by
majority of 1909 and at its meeting ichosen
Speaker. Soon after assuming the duties of
that position his health began to fail and he
was compelled to ask leave of absence, but aft
er brief rest resumed his duties. His disease
again compelled to resign the Speakers chair.
Since then he has been slowly failing.
Mr. Kerr was a thorough Democrat, but
above the narrow partisanship which has been
the most prominent characteristic Of the major
ity Of his party in the present House His po-
litical career has been consistent and honorable
and his election to the Speakers chair was a
deserved tribute to his ability and worth, and
one of the few commendabe acts of the pres
emf House. Had his health remained. doubt
less his counsel would have saved his party
from many of its blunders and his country
from many humiiatirg spectacles in the ma
tional legislature.

Death of speaker Kerr.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ia despatch was re-
ceived to-day by Mrs. Pope, wife Of Speaker
Kerr's physician, announcing the cath Of MIR.
Kerr at Rock bridge Alum Springs this evening
at 30 o'clock.
The announcement of the death of Speaker
Kerr, though anticipated, occasions general
sorrow. Col. Adams, clerk of the House of
Representatives. on receiving the intelligence,
proceeded to an uodertaker's aud ordered a
casket to be sent to Rockbrrdge Alum Springs,
in which 10 place the remains. Tomorrow
several officers of the House and probably two
or three members will &C company the remains
from the Springs to the Speakers late home in
New Albany, Indiana.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-A message from S,
s. Cox, dated Rockbridge Alum Springs, says:
"Mr. Kerrs last hours were painless, as he so
much desired. He was thoroughly content and
prepared for the unseen world. He was con-
scious. intelligent, gentle and brave to the end.
His disease was consumption of the b )wels, but
toward the end bis lungs were involved.
An embalmer was sent to Rock Bridge, Alum
Springs, last night to embalm the body of the
late Speaker Kerr and tonight the casket was
forwarded This is the only case where q
Speaker of the House died while occupying the
position.
