SUICIDE OF A BROKER
w. q. Reade Of New York Shoots
Himself IN the Templo.
no REASON ASSIGNED FOR THE DEED
Had Been In Good Spirits Up TO within
Few Minutes of the Act Which
Seemed to Have Been
Sudden Impulse.

New York, Aug 1O.-Winiam G..
Reade Jr., member Of the New York
Stock Exchange and one of the firm Of
Reade, Parsons q Co, stock brokers in
the Edison building. Broad and New
streets, committed suicide by shooting
himself in the left temple while in a
toilet room on the second floor Of the
big Office structure.
Mr.. Reades residence was on West
Fifty-irst street. but during the sum-
mer months he has been stopping at
his fathers summer house at Mamaro-
neck, on the sound. with his wife and
three children.
When he arrived at his Office. the
broker was apparently in good spirits
Early in the day he was on the floor
of the Exchange. Later he was visited
by young woman at his office. who is
believed TO have been his sister He
laughed and chatted with her and aft
onward i0ked with the clerks.
At a little before noon he retired TO
the toilet room where he killed him
self A stream Of blood which flowed
out under the door of the toilet room
attracted the attention Of Ebert r
Clarke Of the Stock Exchange clearing
house. who gave the alarm. Then the
door was forced, and Readc was found
dead, with the revolver In his hand
The shot had not been heard by the
clerks in any Of the offices on the sec
ond floor No letters or papers ex-
planning the suicide were found on the
body.
Had Been an Invalid.
George B. Parsons at first Insisted
that Mr. Reade had shot himself acci-
dentally, but he'finally admitted to Cor
oner Hoeber that II was undoubtedly a
suicide. He said that his late partner
had no business nor family troubles
that he knew Of. but Mr. Reade had
been practically an invalid OF late and
must have been affected mentally
though nothing of the sort had been
noticed. Mr.. Reade. he added. had "a
severe attack of typhoid fever a year
ago this spring. from which he never
completely recovered. After gaining
strength enough to leave his home Mr..
Reade took a trip to Europe, return
ing somewhat stronger. but not well,
He has been complaining Of malaria
and general illness since.
The stockbroking firm of Reade, Par
sons & Co. consisted OF William c.
Reade. Jr.. and George 3. Parsons. w.
c. Reade. Sr. and +. II. Wales had
desks in the Office.
w c. Reade. Sr., became a member
of the Stock Exchange I'm 1869. and his
son. w C. Reade. Jr.. had been on the
street since he was a boy. He was
known by nearly every person doing
business on the Exchanges here. He
became a member Of the Stock Ex-
change Nov. 30. 1877. His partner
! George b. Parsons became a member
Dec. 2. 1856.
The elder Reade is said to be one OF
the wealthiest brokers on Change. and
he has a fine residence at Mamaroneck
There was a rumor that the suicide had
been squeezed in dealings in Manhat-
tan Elevated stocks, but this could not
be verified.

The Balder twins have been getting
into trouble again. This time it was
with new boarding-house keeper who
had bought out the Widow Clancys
business and didn't know there was a
twin in it. The widow had always been
generous to n fault--her own and every
body's else-but the new dispenser Of
proyender had a talent for measuring
and slipping and keeping tally on every
biscuit that was served. She saw Har-
old, the thinnest twin, eating his sup
per, and the dimensions Of his appetite
fairly appalled, her. She asked who he
was, and was told that he was regular
lboarder and belonged to the Balder
family, but not a word of his being a
twin.

the whole lot to the auction house
to be sold as is. This season
