Portland, Me, Dec 9.-For a man so
distinguished in the annals of the country
the funeral of the Hon Thomas b. Reed.
in the First Parish Unitarian Church to-
day was remarkably simple, distin-
guishcd assembly completely filled the
church but in an adjoining room which
opened into it sat the bereaved widow
and daughter surrounded by consolng
friends but entirely unobserved by the
greater part of the crowd in the main
cditiCe.
1t was service OF but a few brief min
utes and after the words of the minister
were still, and the organ hushed, there
came in the crisp December air the long
toll of the city bells which note by note
struck off the eventful years of the life
of Portland's greatest son.
The short funeral procession wended its
way to the cemetery where the body was
tenderly laid away in the receiving tomb
to await final burial in the spring
The services in the church were held al
. o. clock but for some hours previous the
body was allowed to lie in the parish
house, where 1t was viewed by many
hundreds of people. The Rev. John Car

RIGGING COATED WITH ICE
Schooner John P. Howard Returns

Schooner John P. Howard Returns to
Port sitter Hard Night.
Captain William Montgomery and the
crew of the schooner John L. Howard
of Isle I.l Motto came into port Tues
day morning after an experience that
they are in no hurry to have repeated
Monday morning the boat started for Isle
La Motto, having on board crew of
four men and a small cargo Of stone and
coal. They had passed the -Four Broth
ers islands late in the forenoon when they
were struck by a terrific s4uall which
tore away part of one of their sails and
in other ways disabled them The air
was so thick that they could see little or
nothing and they cast anchor after they
had been driven nearly to Rock Point.
They lay at anchor all the afternoon
and through the night in considerable
anxiety for If their cables had parted or
the anchor broken under the strain, they
would have been dashed upon the rocks
at the point which is not very desirable
place TO land on a windy night with the
thermometer at 10 below zero. In fact
one of the two anchors did break. as they
later discovered. but the other held. The
crew made themselves as comfortable as
possible with the boat rocking SO that
her bottom showed every time big
wave came along and with the sea wash
ing over them all the time, and waited
Tor morning when they managed to get
into port and tie up in Lymau'S slip, AS
they sailed into the harbor the boat look
ed as If she had just returned from Il
| North Pole expedition with the rigging
all coated with a thick layer of ice. They
will try to reach their winter quarters
| again as soon as they get in shape to
sail and this will be their last trip or the
season.

W.E.LEACH MUST ANSWER
JUDGE STUBS BINDS HIM OVER TO
THE GRAND JURY.
Unusually Heavy Fines Assessed
Against Gambling House Keepers
Other Police Court Cases.

". Z. Leach. former president of the
Cosmopolitan School, on North Pennsyl-
vania street, was bound over to the grand
jury from Police Court yesterday morning
on a charge of grand larceny. The COM
plant was made by John Heustis, who
claimed to have given him a draft for 800
in payment of a $40 tuition fee, and receiv-
ing a promise that the rest would be held
subject TO his order. About a month ago
Leach sold his interest and Heustis had
about $35 yet due him. Inability to collect
the balance caused him to swear out a
warrant for Leach's arrest. Judge Stubbs.
in holding him to the grany jury, said he
had no right to act as a banker and ad-
vised him to make settlement with the COM
plainant before the case got TO the Grim
inaI Court.
Charles Coffman and James Armitage
charged with keeping gambling houses,
were each fined s25 and costs. Seventeen
men arrested in their places and charged
with gaming were each fined s. ard costs.
The fines OF the gambling house keepers
are larger than have been assessed In such
cases for several years. This is said to
have been for the purpose of discourag1ng
gambling, branding the men as professional
gamblers and by some attributed to the
comments of the public relative to the
small fines assessed generally against gam
bers and keepers of gambling houses who
are arrested time and again.
Harry Miller and Kid Taylor, each
charged with grand larceny, were bound
over 10 the grand jury. George Fulton, for
offending persons on the street. was fined
$50 and costs and give an additional thirty
DAYS in the workhouse. Fred Deeter
charged with burglary and petit larceny
was held to the grand jury.

PROF. RALPH M0ORE'S FEAT.
He Gives a Remarkable Public Test
i'm Mind Reading.

A strange and puzzling feat of mind-read-
ing was performed publicly yesterday by
Prof. Ralph Moore. "A spiritualist and mind
reader well known in the East. A number
OF newspaper men were invited TO meet
Prof. Moore at EngIish's Hotel and COM
mittee was appointed consisting Of three
men. a lawyer Mr.. Fitzgerald. and two
newspaper men. One of the reporters re-
mained with Professor Moore to see that
he held communication with while
the other two members of the committee
went out TO get some business or profess
sional man TO write a letter to any friend
in the city. They came back in about half
an hour and remarked that they had the
letter In concealment: that they knew TO
whom il was addressed and where he could
be found. Professor Moore then produced
Notwithstanding crystal. into which he
asked the two men 10 gaze while they
thought intently OF the person 10 whom the
letter was to be delivered.
IL must be remembered that Professor
Moore had never even seen the letter, al
though Il was inclOSed in a blank and
sealed envelope. In few moments the
mind-reader requested the committee TO
blindfold him, which they did, and then,
although IL was raining Professor Moore
grasped hand Of each of the two men and
started out into the street The circle of
Monument place seemed 10 puzzle him, for
he took the committee up the steps and
down again, wavered a bit at the foot of
the monument and then headed straight
down Meridian street. At the first alley
north of Washington street he turned and
walked rapidly TO Pennsylvania street He
crossed the street with absolute fearless
ness. IL there were no such things az
street cars or other vehicles. went into
Court street and proceeded without hesita-
tion TO the courthouse. He almost dra gged
the two members of the committee up the
courthouse steps and proceeded at once to
the upper corridor. Here there were many
doors open. some closed. but the mind-read-
er passed them all without hesitation until
he reached the office of W. s. CARRIER, Off
four or five desks, but all were disregarded
save Mr.. Carriers desk toward which Pro-
fessor Moore walked and stopped. 1t
chanced that Mr.. CARRIER was not in his
office at the time. but Professor Moore said.
''He is not here. The letter should be deliv-
cred here
The letter was produced and opened II
was written by the stenographer i'm the
Office OF the attorney general and was duly
directed 70 W. S. CARRIER. Professor Moore
Explained before the note was opened that

the note TO the person who had written it

from.
