Cleeve, an Englishman who was (he first white settler at Portland Me., having set tled there as fnr back as 1032. This remote ancestor of his wan a wealthy man, but suc ceeding fenerations had lost all the good things of tho world old Cleeve gathered round him and Mr. Reed parents were poor working folk In Portland. Still they managed to give him an education such as eldom falls to the lot of the humble, send ing him successively through the grammar chool, the Portland High school and Dow doln college, whence he graduated In i860. These, the early days of his life,, are full of Incidents which the old folk of "Portland still delight to tell concerning the man who was afterward in the running for the presidential nomination. On leaving college he went to California, then In the heydey of Its youth where he taught . school a while and was admitted to the bar. Of this ceremony an amusing story Is remembered. It was In the mldd'e of the civil war and the constitutionality of the legal tender act was seriously ques tloued. Some of the greatest lawyers dis agreed and when Reed offered himself for examination Judge Wallace, in a aomewhat quizzical manner, asked him if he had ever studied' law. Reed said he had, In Maine. Then Judge Wallace asked him: "Do you think the legal .tender act is constitutional?" ., ( ; k "I do." said Reed. ' . ,.' 'Then you shall be admitted," said Judge Wallace, 'for any man who can answer that question offhand ought to be allowed to practice law In California." A. year later, however, family considera tions called him back east and he entered the federal navy ' for the latter part of the great struggle which was then convuls ing the country. ' After receiving-his discharge he re-en' gaged In law, this time In his native state, and quickly acquired a reputation as a keen cross-examiner whose questions were at once direct and Incisive. He was deemed the star lawyer to corner an obstinate wit ness or lead an evader Into a needed ad mission. ' ' (,J''- He was not left long,' however, in pri vate life, for only two years had elapsed after his return from the war before his townsfolk selected him at their represent ative In the state legislature. Start In Polities. He was a young man then, untried and Inexperienced, and had to meet much oppo sition on this score. Still the experiment proved such., a success that he was con- j tlnued In various offices until advancing 1 years, in 1899, took him cut of the po- I lltlcal arena again and relegated him to , the gallery of honored onea whose fighting days were over, but whoBe services were gratefully remembered In more countries than one. In 1870 he became member of the state senate and attorney general for Maine, and la 1877 first entered the national bouse. Hoi fains, ItPhinpc, scabby gkn f)ensea CANCERS. BWKLLINCia PIMPLKB.

Of First Importance purchasing a black silk drees absolutely sure that you're where he remained until 1899, serving for seven years of that time as speaker of the house. Maine has. always had Influential men In confess, and has ulwiays followed the southern custom of kevplng good men when It got them there, and Reed was no excep tion to the old rule. His reputation .as a lawyer was greatly eclipsed by his greater reputation as a debater. He never made more than half a dozen prepared addresses during all his long service,, but his short, pithy, compact, direct, oftentimes scathing speechea, in quaint Yankee phraseology, pointed, bristling and .original, were Innum erable. He was at his best in them. All listened. Democrats and republicans .alike laughed at them, especially when he was skinning alive some obstreperous or unpop ular or hypocritical fellow. But notwithstanding the hard knocks he gave, ' he made lota of friends and kept them. He had many warm friendships among the democrats. Samuel J. Randall and he were the best of friends. Wit Wan Spontaneous. If his epigrams and scattered witticisms thrown off in the rough-and-tumble debatea In the house or at dinners or in chats at the club could be collected they would make a valuable collection. He coined many phrases which will live in political nomen clature. Here are two of the best known of them: "A statesman Is a politician who Ik dead." "The senate is a place that good repre sentatives go to when ,they die." One of Reed's replies to Springer of III- nois. who received many a sharp cut from him. Is also celebrated. Springer had re toned to Reed on one occasion that' he "would ra.ttor ,be right than be president." ' ".You need not be alarmed,": responded Reed. coolly, "you will never be either." Slowly but surely he worked his way up to the proud position of leader of the re publicans. No one can point to .the exact time or the exact session when be donned the mantle, but in the Forty-ninth con gress he was the candidate of his party for speaker, and that, perhaps, may bu taken as the formal acknowledgment that he was the leading man of bis party in the lower branch of congress, ,. This indorse ment was given him, again in the Fiftieth congress, which, like its predecessor, was controlled by the democrats. This brings Reed up to the great culminating point in his career. The next house was republican by a smalt majority and he was elected to the chair after, a spirited contest with Mc- Klnley And Cannon. McKlnley, who after ward became president, and Cannon, who is now slated tor .the place he unBuccess fully sought in 1889. Always SeU-Coatroilea. During bis occupancy of the chair be kept his self-control. But It is said that In the seclusion of the speaker'a private room he used to relieve his mind freely, emphat ically and fully with regard to the tactics which the democrats were pursuing In tile house. He never manifested the slightest tear, and, when asked bow he felt about the turbulent actions of the democratic minority, said be felt exactly as he would if a big creature were jumping at him, and be knew the exact length and strength of his chain, and were sure of the weapon he bad In hlB hand.

KNOCKS OUT INDIAN AGENTS Home Committee Adopts Commissioner Jones' Ro"nT'endtion. MATHEWSON AM0.it, THOSE DROPPED Foil Agencies In goatfe Dakota, Oae la Nebraska and One In Iowa to Be Placed In Charae of School naerlateneleat. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON.- Dec. (Special Tele gram.) Along the line of Commissioner Jones' report to the "secretary of the Inte rior the house committee on Indian affairs today decided to report the bill to tho bouse containing fourteen omissions In number of Indian agents as compared with the appropriation bill that passed last ses sion. It is Commissioner Jones' Intention wherever possible to knock out Indian agents and place the agencies In charge ot bonded school superintendents. The com missioner contends in his report that the advance made by certain tribes of Indians warrants their being placed under school supervision rather than under political su pervision. He recommends that farmers and matrons are more advantageous than political agents and wherever tribes of In dians have shown a. disposition to better their condition be believes in giving them all the aid possible. In consequence of this report the homo committee today decided to strike out four teen agents at Indian agencies, tho most Important ot which Is the Omaha and Winnebago agency. The following agents are eliminated from South Dakota: Sis seton, Crow Creek, Lower Brule and Yank ton, while the Sac and Fox agent In Iowa is also discontinued. Senator Gamble W ill Oppose. Senator Gamble, speaking today of the action of the house committee on Indian affairs, aald that the abandonment ot agents at Indian agencies would work evil Instead of good to the tribes of Indians in terested. "For one I am opposed to the proposition and will fight It in the senate. I cannot conceive of a superintendent ot schools trained along educational lines and Interested in education primarily being fitted to conduct the plain .practical busi ness of an agent. It Is well known that an educator lacks business qualifications and while a man may make a good superintend ent of schools, he may fall as an agent. The movement to reduce the number ot Indian agents has been uppermost for some time and many attempts have been made along similar lines. When the house com mittee' last year struck out the agents at the Sac and Fox agency In Iowa Senator Allison had the agent restored. Other agents were discontinued by the bouse committee and as promptly restored by the senate. I want to say now that the South Dakota agents discontinued In the house bill which will be reported on Monday will be put back If the senatorial delegation from South Dakota can bring It about." Just what action Senator Millard will take on the determination of the house Indian affairs committee to discontinue the agent at the Omaha and Winnebago agency Is not known. It will be Interest ing, however, to watch developments, as the senator Is known to be friendly to the present agent, C. P. MathewsAn. Annuities for Santees. Senator Gamble was at the Indian office today for the purpose of urging a prompt report on -the bill for the ' restoration of annuities for the Bantee Indians. ' The sen ator asked for a corrected report on Iht) amount of money due these Indians that was declared forfeited by the prior report In which It was stated that these Indians had been overpaid, apart from the amount of annuities due them. The senator stated that he looked for a revised computation In a very short time, which he expected would show a large amount due to the Santees of Nebraska, South Dakota and Minnesota. He also called at the Interior department to urge that an adjustment be made and proper credit given the Sioux Indians In his state for the amount due. them for land sold under the treaty of 1889, Senator Dietrich today recommended John F. Allen tor postmaster at Halgler, Dundy county, Neb. Creates New National Park. Representative Martin of the South Da kota delegation, under call of committees, today succeeded in passing Senator Gam ble's bill setting apart about 10,000 acrea of land In the state of South Dakota as a pub lie park to be known as Wind Cave National park, being lands surrounding that well known natural formation. The bill provides that the park thus created shall bs under the exclusive control ot the secretary of the Interior until the requirements ot the bill are carried out. Captain Beth Bullock ot the Black Hills forest reserve will have direct supervision over the new park. The commissioner general ot the land office today received a petition algned by a number of citizens of Wind River valley, Wyoming, protesting against the Incorpora tlon of certain lands In' their sevdon In the Teton forest reserve. The lands which they desire to have left out of the reservation limits are said to be grazing and not tlm ber land. Commissioner Hermann will send a special agent to look the situation over, Gives Power Federal Caarts. A bill Introduced by Representative Mar tin, conferring Jurisdiction on the federal courts tor offenses committed on Indian reservations In South Dakota, passed the house today. It appears that under the ex lstlng law federal courts cannot take cognl xance 6f misdeeds committed on Iddtan res ervations In South Dakms by other than full-blosded Indians. 'The federal courts now have no means of punishing halfbreeds and 'whites who have committed crimes In the Indian reservations,' and offenders of this class manage to escape punishment, The measure now goes o the senate, where CAti, WRITE TMfen.

Senators Klttredge and Gamble will press It to passage. Representative Martin a bill authorizing the Federal Railroad company to construct a bridge across the Missouri river st or near Oacoma, B. D., passed the house to day. Beaefta Oil Praapeetors. A bill of great interest to the west, and especially to the oil sections, was passed today by Representative Suthervand. The bill provides that where oil claims are lo cated under placer mining laws as placer claims the annual assessment work may be done upon any one group of five clalma ly ing contiguous and owned by the same corporation, providing such" work will tend to develop or determine the oll-bearlng character of the contiguous claims. Mr. Sutherland, In explaining the bill, said that under the present law there roust be per formed $100 worth of development work on each claim. The courts have, however, held that the annual labor required may be done pon any one group of claims, providing be work tends to benefit the entire group. The bill seeks to benefit oil prospectors and to save them unnecessary expense by per mitting an expenditure of $500 on one group of claims rather than compelling them to distribute It over all the claims. The bill has had the backing of Nebraska and Utah people who are Interested In the develop ment of the oil lands ot Wyoming. Thurston Makes a Correction. Ex-Senator Thurston said today that the statement made by The Bee in Its editorial columns that he had gone to Hawaii to rep resent ex-Queen Ulluokalant was entirely erroneous; that, on the contrary, he had neither direct nor indirect association with the queen In her effort to secure crown lands and that be desired this statement to be mads In Justice to himself.

LOUIS, '"Dec. In his report on the death of Mrs. Kate Smith, one ot several of the same family' whose deaths occurred dur ing the last year, apparently from the same cause. Deputy Coroner Boogher today ren tiered a. verdict, finding .that she died Of gasfTO-e-nlrirtrf, rbta' contributory causa of which he was unable to determine. Dr. Boogher's decision - followed the re celpt of a report from Dr. Gradwohl, the bacteriologist, who stated that he had com pleted a chemical analysis of Mrs. Smith's heart, liver, stomach and kidneys, and also of the embalming fluid which was Injected into Mrs. Smith's stomach by the under taker after her death. "Inasmuch as the embalming fluid con- alned a considerable amount of arsenous acid." said Dr. Gradwohl In his report, "ot course the various organs also contained arsenous acid. It is therefore Impossible for me to determine whether the arsenic was administered before or after Mrs, SmitVs death." The report will be turned over to Circuit Attorney Folk.
