Death of Roland Reed.

Roland Reed, the actor, whose impersonations have given delight to hundreds of thousands of Americans during his thirty years of stage life, is dead. The famous player passed away in New York City, Saturday, after a long and painful illness. For weeks it had been apparent to his friends that death could not long be fought off. Mr. Reed died at the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Rush. At his bedside were his daughter, Miss Florence Reed and Mrs. Rush. His wife-was known on the stage as Isadore Rush, was in Philadelphia, but on receipt of a telegraphic message she started at once for this city. For twenty-four hours before his death the actor was in a state of coma. Death was peaceful.
