THOMAS B. REED DEAD.
Close of Public Career of Twenty-Five Years
in Congress Party Leadership Of IL Years,
with Three Terms as Speaker,

Hon. Thomas Brackett Reed, ex
speaker of the House of Representa-,
! tives. died at the Arlington hotel,
Washington, Sunday morning, after Il
week illness of acute Bright's disease,
For almost generation he was fig
ure of national Importance. He was
born in Portland, Me-, Oct. Is, 1889,
and worked his way through Bowdoin
college from which he graduated in
1860. He taught, studied law, was ad
Mitted to the bar, was acting assistant
paymaster in the United States navy
from 1864 to 1863. He served in both
houses of the Maine legislature and
was the youngest man ever elected to
attorney generalship. In 1876, he was
elected to the 10th Congress, and was
brought into prominence by his first
long speech, one of the few he ever
made in Congress. He was reelected
ship of the Republican party, which
became pronounced in the 18th Con-
gress, was permanently secured in the
10th and 50th, more particularly in the
conflicts on the tariff subject. On the
assembling of the DIST Congress, Dec.
:, 1889, he was chosen speaker on the
first ballot, over the Democratic nomi
nee. Hon. John G.. Carlisle 1t is an
odd coincidence that Mr.. Reeds cleo.
ton to the speakership in this Con
gress allowed Mr.. Mckinley to become
the Republican floor leader. chairman
of Ways and Means and name giver to
the tariff act of 1890, which made him
six years later, the successful Republi
can candidate for president against
Reed himself. His reformation of
the rules of the house during his
speakership and his practice of
counting quorum, together with
his complete domination of the house,
gave him the soubriquet of Gear"
Reed AS speaker, he served coptem-
poraneously with three presidents
Harrison, Cleveland and Mckinley,
and with neither was he on the most
cordial terms; but he performed his
public duties in broad minded, I'M
prejudiced way. Speaker Reed resigned
to take effect Sept, 4, 1899. after serv-
ing in II Congresses, and it is said he
retired as poor as when he entered
Congress. His salary of $4,000 as rep
resentative and $4,000 as speaker had
been latterly eked out by $1,000 as ar
bitrater for certain insurance compan.
les and by many contributions to va
rious periodicals for which he re-
ceived high prices; but the $50,
600 year which he received as
head of the law firm of Simpson,
Thatcher, Barnum & Bartlett in New
York was undoubtedly an inducement
to him for retirement from public life
He leaves widow, the daughter of Rev.
S. II. Merrill of Maine, and daugh-
ter, Miss Catherine His body was
taken to Portland by special train Mon
day and the funeral was held Tuesday
from the Unitarian church in that city.
In accordance with Mrs. Reeds ex-
press desire, no funeral services were
held in Washington. The House of
Representatives at Washington adj
journed soon after assembling Tuesday

Although we are all born with the
principles of dissolution in our frame

to keep ourselves free from disease and
suffering. While death must come to
every human being, pain may be avoid
ed, and our days made happy and long,
if we keep the blood and physical struc-
ture in proper condition.
At this time, while we warn the
thousands of rheumatic sufferers of the
folly and danger of allowing rheuma-
tsm to run unchecked at this season
of the year, we can comfort them
with the happy assurance that Paine's
Celery Compound permanently cures
the terrible disease. This Won

its virtues are lauded by tens of
thousands rescued from agony and
