OBITUARY.
SAMUEL ROCKWELL REED.

Samuel Rockwell Reed the veteran newspaper man
OF Cincinnati who died on the steamer Lain on
October while bound for Europe, was born at
Sharon, Conn.,, sixty years ago. He came of an
old New England family. His father, Henry Reed.
farmer. The family was a large one there
being twelve chIldren-eight boys and four girls.
samuel Rockwell graduated from the high school
Sharon when twelve years old In the fall of
1888 the family emigrated 10 Ohio, settling at Water.
vile, where large farm was conducted Mr.
Reed, ST., was engaged in the general merchandise
business at the same time. Three years later he
purchased another farm at Damascus eighteen miles
further up the river and put 1t in charge OF three
Of his boys all in their teens, Elias Samuel r. and
Frederick Young as they were, they were practical
farmers for years their farm was one of the
most profitable and best managed thereabout. Tho
farm was then sold and Samuel X. and Frederick
engaged in the general merchandise business IN
Maumee City until that place ceased TO be the
county scat.
Samuel r. had no liking for business and had con-
tributed many articles 10 Ohio newspapers. 30 when
the store was given up he went to Cincinnati and
Joined the staff Of The Gazette Of that city After
that his home was there and he was steadily con-
nected with the journal the staff Of which he first
Joined until falling health compelled him TO lay
aside his pen, as he thought, temporarily. HIS ehest
brother Henry, r., was many years ago connected
with "1he Cincinnati Commercial which was IN
1883 consolidated with The Gazette and afterward
made an attempt to establish a onecent paper IN
Cincinnati. This venture was failure.
Mr.. Reed quiet and unaSsuming
in his demeanOr, but asdduous worker and
volumlnous writer. So unremittngly did he labor
that he finally broke down under the strain lie found
relief at the seashor but was confident that a
trip abroad would restore him TO his usual vigor. 10
was against the advice OF his physician and his daugh
ter that he started for Europe. His daughter, who
accompanied him, did not expect to return with
him alive. The body will probably be buried abroad
lie suffered from no particular disease, and death
due to general debility. .
lie was married twice but both OF his wives died
nom consumption. The daughter who survives hum
IS his only child. OF his seven brothers, four are
alive Henry, the oldest, is In san Francisco :
Frederick is In business In this city, George Is In
Florida, and Alex ader Reed is in business Ia Tacoma

Sir: movement has just been iDaugurated by
some rspec able Buddhist ladies OF Ceyl0n to Intro
duce education among Slnhalese girls and gen.
orally to elevate the social condition Of women,
hitherto, as you are doubtless well aware, almost
entirely neglected. 1t is true that there Christian
missionaries ready to take the education Of our girls
in hand, but with the declared object of converting
them their religion. This Of course precludcs
our acceptance Of the advantage offered. Our Nation
being extremely poor We have determined 10 ask
the broad minded friends Of female education In 0the
countries to help TO create fund for the estab-
shment Of schools, the circulation Of books and other
purposes embraced within the scheme of our society
organization. Naturally. eyes first turned to your
glorious and enlightened people, who have shown the
world that the elevation of women Is indeed the
cornerstone of national power and honor.
Your attention Is respectfully invited and your aid
invoked on behalf of the neglected and ignorant
Aryan women Of CeylOn. Though we may be Of a
different religion from many who win be likely to
help us yet the common tie of sympathy for a high
humanitarian object will mako them feel that the

realize at the other side of the world the object
that has been brought in America TO most glorious

TWO CANDIDATES RE.ENTERING THE RACE
MAJOR PooLE's CHANCES GOOD.
Washington, oct. 10 (speciaD.-Two more candidates
for Pension Commissioner have re-entered the race
They are ex.ConCressman George w. Steele, OF IN
diana and Major Theodore L. Poole, Of New-fork
Mr. steele and Major Poole were both suggested al
the time of Corporal Tanners retirement but neither
was thought likely TO be the successful candidate
because of the general impression at the time that
the office would go TO Major Warner, If he would &C
cent the place However either one would make
GOOD Commissioner, and the appointment OF either
would probably be acceptable TO the soldier element
NJ the Marty. The selection of exCongressman Steele
IS not deemed probable, since he is from indiana
and It IS generally believed that that state has already
fair share Of official patronage. Notwths'anui"s
,bis Mr. steeles friends 10 be confident OF ms
