Thoms 3. Reeds Career.


Born at Portland, Me-, October
IS, 1880; died at Washington, D. c.,
December 6, 1902.
To be recognized as possible pres
idential timber early in his career is
the worst thing that can befall the
public man who has dreams Of the dis
tinction of occupying the White
House.
Such was the state of Thomas
Bracket Reed of Maine. He had not
served the first session of his first
term in congress before he was rec.
ognized as presidential timber.
Physically, Mr. Reed was a large
man, big in frame, tall of stature,
and heavy in avoirdupois. His head
was large and round with a towering
forehead, rising to a conspicuous
dome where the phrenologist locates
the moral organs. His face was in
utter contradiction to the rest OF
his makeup and a contradiction in it.
self. His nose was significant, deny
ing from the phrenologist's stand.
point that purpose which was unques
tionably a leading characteristic OF
the man. But the eyes above it in
their blue lights flashed with power
and control. The first impression
was that the face was infantile but
it quickly passed with study when un
der the folds of flesh, the square jaw
was observed. Altogether his was
an impressive personality. In carri
age there was dignity without AFRO
gance and an affability which, how
ever, did not invite undue familiarity
Portland, Me.-The news of the
death of Thomas B. Reed was received
here with universal sorrow. Mr.
Reed was born in Portland, was edu
Gated in the schools of this city, and
here was always his home, as he re
tanned his residence in Portland after

.EX-SPEAKER REED IS DEAD
HIS SOUL PASSED TO THE GREAT
BEYOND AT WASHINGTON.
The Immediate Cause of Death Was
Uraema-His Wife and Daughter
Present at the Death Bed--Mr.
Reed was Cheerful During the Last
Day-Suffered from 6rights Disc asc.

Washington, D. C.-Thomas Brack
EFT Reed, former speaker of the house
OF representatives, and for many years
prominent in public life, died here In
his apartments in the Arlington ho-
tel. The immediate cause Of death
was uraemia.
At $3.50 in the morning he was given
a simultaneous saline TRANSMISSION in
order to stimulate his kidneys, which
were failing to perform their proper
functions. At o'clock in the after
noon a saline solution was again ad-
ministered, about three quarts OF fluid
being used. The heart became weak
er and weaker, but the patient re-
tanned consciousness until IL o'clock
at night, when complete coma come
on.
At the bedside when he died were
Mrs. Reed and Miss Katherine Reed,
Doctors Gardner, Mcdonald, Bishop
and Goodnow and the nurses. DR..
Goodnow, who had been in consulta-
ton with the local physicians, was
again summoned from Philadelphia.
Mr.. Reeds mind was in such a state
during the day that he did not real
ize the seriousness Of his condition.
He was cheerful and conversed with
those about his bedside. When it
became apparent that he would not
survive his illness. the wife and
daughter were notified and they re-
NAMED constantly at the bedside un-
til the distinguished patient breathed
his last. With only a faint hope of
saving his life oxygen was administer
ed throughout the day.
1t was stated that Mr.. Reed had
been suffering from Bright's disease
for some time, which reached the
acute stage today, and this furnished
an additional cause for alarm. Mr..
Reed passed away peacefully and
without pain.
No arrangements have been made
for the funeral.

POOR LIGHT As WELL
AS HIGH GOAL PRICES
Gas Inspector Reports Sharp
Decline in Candle Power.

The people of Washington are con-
fronted with the prospect Of poor light,
as well as expensive heat. during the
fall and winter. Such Is the conclusion
arrived at by Mr. BERNARD Waters, Act
ing Inspector Of Gas and Meters
In his last weekly report to the Dis
trict Commissioners. Mr. Waters states
that the quality of the gas furnished by
the Washington GasIight Company last
week was 2271 stasdard candles. as
against a pressure Of 27.34 candIePower
IN the corresponding week Of 1901. Mr.
Waters states that the pressure last
year was somewhat higher than required
by law. but that the records show & de
crease Of 4.63 candIepower since last
year. while the reduction by law from
% to % candles was only three points.
Hr. Waters informs the Commission
ers that the reduction in pressure since
last year will be very noticeable by gas
consumers. and for that reason he ex-
poets many complaints during the fall
and winter months
The tests OF TIE gas furnished by the
Georgetown Gas Company last week
showed pressure Of 24.3O candlepower,
as against 27.S3 Of the corresponding
week last year
Mr. Waters sent to the Commissioners
today letter received from the officials
of the Washington Gas!tght Company,
to She effect that all individual com
plants Of poor light sent t. their Office
would receive prompt after ton.
