IN MEMORY OF Mr.. REID
Pilgrims Regret Loss of Promi
nent Member.

The executive committee o, the Pill
grims of the United States adopted the
Following minute in memory OF White
law Reid at its last meeting:
The Pilgrims Of the United States have
heard with the most profound regret and
sorrow OF the death at his post OF duty
In London of our justly celebrated Am
bassador, the Hon. Whitelaw Reid, who
In his exalted station had done so much
TO strengthen the bonds OF friendship
between Great Britain and the United
States.
Prominently identified with our society
on both sides of the water from its
foundation and warmly devoted TO its
high aims and objects. his selection 10 fiji
the office of Ambassador from one people
10 the other was a natural and happy one
and his qualifications for the perform
ance of its important duties were the
results OF lifelong training in journalism
In literature and in public service
His life from beginning to end, wherein
at every step he developed in ever in
creasing measure adequate powers, high
ambition and never failing tenacity OF
purpose, was a typically American one
which could hardly have been achieved in
any other country.
From the struggles Of his early man
hood through every step upward in repu-
tatlon and success he proved equal 10
the duties imposed upon him and to the
important offices ne was called TO fill, in
each Of which he displayed an unfailing
fidelity and self-devotion rarely sur
passed.
His life was crowned with happiness
and honors. and his death called forth
universal tributes of praise and apprecia-
ton The splendid obsequies which fol
lowed II in Westminster Abbey and the
Cathedral OF st. John the Divine in New
York manifested the admiration and
gratitude OF two great nations for faithful
service rendered 10 both.
We extend to Mrs. Reid and 10 his
bereaved family our sincerest sympathy
and join with our brother Pilgrims across
the water in doing honor to his memory
and his character
The minute is signed by the members
of the committee as follows: Joseph II
Choate, Nicholas Murray Butler, Sam
uel w Fairchild. r. a. G. Smith. Law
renee l.. Gillespie. George William Bur
