RETROSPECT.

Tonight, within the open gratss
The dying embers fall;
And many tales do they relate.
And joys Of old recall.
A vision of the night we met.
SO wondrous fair she seems;
Her eyes. her face, I'll meier forget.
As radiantly she beams.
The echo OF that only dance,
AS gliding through the hall,
She held me in loves mystic trance
My life to aye enthrall.
Her tresses. soft as silken floss,
Her lips Of carmine hue;
All cried, "Alone for you"
My heart succumbed that fateful night
As softly trilled strain
OF Haydn and within that light
She begged that l remain.
The years have fled, yet mem'ry dear
Revves the dead for me;
II opens up grave no seer
Could read Of mystery.
We parted. though we lived. and
Went forth to wed my art,
And she-well, time will testify,
Found balm to heal the smart.
Tonight. within the open CRATE,
They once again recall
The fortunes of cruel fate,
AS dying embers fall.

stic, yet his sincerity was questioned by
few.

On the casket rested two floral offerings,
one of them from the widow and the other,
inclosed in long pasteboard box from
Mrs Roosevelt. Mrs. Reeds offering was
large wreath OF violets, American beauty
roses, and orchids. sprinkled with lilies Of
the valley. while in the box which came
from the White House were an assortment
Of white and pink roses, with maiden hair

Mrs Reed and her daughter, Mr. Payne,
Mr. Allen, and Mr.. Kinds, who accompanied

Those at the railroad station when the

Portland to attend the funeral and Rep
resentative Burleigh, who Is already there,
also is expected to be present.

W. Symonds and Mr.. John c. Small, the
latter an old neighbor Of Mr.. Reeds.
Died Shortly After Midnight.
Mr.. Reeds death occurred at 1910
o'clock. The immediate cause of death was
uraemia A change for the worse was
noted in his condition early Saturday morn
ing, as was told in The Evening Star. At
0:3U a. nj. he was given a sub-cutaneous sa-
line TRANSMISSION in order to slim ulate his
kidneys, which were failing to perform
their proper functions. At 8 pm. a saline
solution was again administered, about
three quarts of fluid being used. The heart
became weaker and weaker, but the pa

The Fight Won by Reed.
The next day the fight was renewed on
the approval of the journal. The chair
again counted a quorum, the Speaker hold
ing that a quorum had voted and Mr..
Springer appealing from the decision, the
chair declining to entertain the appeal.
Mr.. Breckenridge OF Kentucky passionately
denounced the chairs refusal and declared
1t to be "usurpatory, revolutionary and cor
rupt." Loud applause and cheers on the
democratic side greeted this sally, but the
Speaker was unmoved. The Journal was
approved, and then William Mckinley
discussion at the time Of adjournment the
day before as to whether the judgment of
the chair should stand as the judgment OF
the House. Another day Of debate followed
the question Finally, January 3D. the mo-
ton Of Mr. Mckinley to lay the appeal on
the table was agreed to, not q democrat
voting, and the Speaker counting enough
democrats present to make up the quorum.
The contested election case came up. and
Mr.. Reed had won the initial fight in the
great battle for the right of the majority TO
rule.
The rules of the House which subsequent
ly were adopted made permanent the fea-
this manner The democrats were never
reconcjled however. and when the McKin-
ley tariff bill was passed by the operation OF
those rules a test case was brought in the
United States Supreme Court, in which the
validity of the rule authorizing the count
ing of a quorum was directly In issue. The
United States Supreme Court sustained
the rule. Mr.. Reed lived to see a demo-
cratic House Of Representatives. with Mr..
Crisp as Speaker, adopt substantially the
same rule in order to conduct the public
business.
