The Baltimore Sun. in noticing the
death Of Mr.. Wade, says:
"ln June OF last year he became connect
ed with the Sun. Within the brief period
of his employment here his conscientious
efforts to please, his constancy to duty, his
amiable and unpretending disposition,
gained for him the good opinion and kind
ly regard Of his employers and associates.
Mr.. Wade's health had for some time pre-
yious to his removal to Baltimore been inn
paired by an affection OF the liver. from
which he vainly sought relief. The disease
fastened upon him, causing rapid loss OF
vitality and increasing depression. Some
two weeks ago his wife was called to Rich
mOnd TO attend the bedside OF her dying
mother. During her absence his depres-
sion became more intense, and on Monday
last she was called back to Baltimore by a
dispatch announcing his isparalysis. During
his illness the labors Of his devoted wife
were lightened by the careful and constant
attentions of Mr.. and Mrs. Burton, assisted
by several OF their guests and members OF
the staff OF the Sun. The remains will be
taken to Richmond for interment to-mor-
row Sunday morning"

the principal part OF his busy and useful
life was passed. His goings forth and

a credit TO him that can only now exist as
memory i'm the recollection OF his surviving
friends that no stain rests on his
escutchcOn. Either as employe or en-
ployer, he was always the same kind, con-
Siderate, courteous, allable gentleman,
loving right for rights sake, and unwilling
to do any man an intentional injury. His
career as printer, publisher, editor, or re-
porter was alike creditable to his under
standing and judgment. He passed
through life and went 10 his reward with
few, if any, enemies. He surrendered his

wraps the drapery Of his couch around
him and lies down to pleasant dreams"

ever we remit HIM with our hope and aspi-

and that the secretary OF the Club be in
structed hereby to enter these proceedings
on his minutes.
