SMITH.—A very sad and untimely death
was that of Mrs Will H. Smith, which oc-
curred at the Hayes sanitorinm about one
o'clock yesterday afterncon. Just before
Christmas Mrs. Smith with ber two chil-
== { dren eame here from Johnstown to spend
the holidays with ber mother, Mrs. Otto.
At that time she was in good health buta
couple days after Christmas she was taken
suddenly ill and her ailment was of such a
pature thas is was deemed best to take her
to the Hayes sanitorinm for treatment.
From the very start she grew steadily
worse with only brief intervals of apparent
improvement. Last week her condition
wassuch that her family physician, Dr.
Wakefield, of Johnstown, was sent for and
came here in consultation with the loveal
physicians. Yesterday morning her condi-
tion was so grave that the only hope of
prolonging her life was an immediate opera
tion which was performed at 10 o'clock,
Dr. Wakefield again being present. Her
system, however, was so run down that
she never iecovered from the avaesthetics
admioistered, dying. at the time above
stated.
Deceased was a davgbter of the late
Hamilton and Mrs. Martha A. Otto aud
was twenty-five years of age. In October,
1900, she was united in marriage to Will
H. Smith who survives her with two small
children. For three years past the Smiths
bave made their home in Johnstown. She
was a member of the Methodist charch and
a highly esteemed young woman. In ad-
dition to her busband and two children
she leaves ber mother, two brothers, Mor-
ris H. and Harry D., and two sisters, Ma-
bel and Helen. At this writing no arrange-
ments have been made for the funeral.

A ScExic MARVEL.—Among the scenic
surprises offered by Lincoln J. Carter in
bis popular successful melodrama, ‘‘The
Two Little Waifs,” is a magrificent hone
overlooking thie Fludesn river, the almost
imperceptible change from daylight to sun-
set, and from sunset to moonlight, showing
the rising moon, the old river, and the
twinkling lights of the Jersey shore. The
Wellington club house, Mother Bowser's
cellar dive, the illuminated toy store and
the little charch around the corner.
‘Tempest’ and ‘‘Sunshine’’ are still with
the attraction aud are as popular with the

and 1 o'clock Sunday morning. The origin
of the fire i= not known but it is generally
believed to have heen incendiary. When
discovered the flames bad already gained
such headway that, although firemea from
Philipsburg quickly 1esponded to the call
for help, nothing cozid be done but save a
very few of the contents. The loss is esti-
mated ut trom $25,000 to $30,000,0n which

to expire within the past few days. A

BUILDING ADDITIONAL KILNS, —The
lime aud limestone business in this locali-
ty is hoomiog and promises to at no very
distant time be the one big industry in
Centre county. Following close upon the
opening of the Whiterock goarries at Pleas-
ant Gap the American Lime and Stone
company are now at work building six
vew kilus at their Armor Gap quarries.
Thix addition to their plant at that place
has been rendered necessary because of the
fact that they have been unable, for some
time past, to fill orders promptly or even
supply the demand for lime. The building
of these additional kilns will also rende
necessary the employment of quite a num-
her more men.

RESIGNED. —The resignation of Rev. Geo.
Isiael Browne, alter seven years service as
rector of St. John's protestant Episcopal
chareh iu this place, is not so much of a
surprise as it is a disappointment. To
most of his friends it was patent that Rev.
Browne's stay in Bellefonte was limited,
but none of them was quite prepared to
face the thought of bis leaving so soon.
He announced his decision after the morn-
ing wervices on Sunday and then it was
learned sbat he bad accepted a call 10 St.
Paul’s church, Harrisburg, and will leave
here at the end of the month.
While it is generally believed that there is
always some one who ean fill another man’s
place there will be much trouble in finding
that some one who will cary Rev.Browue's
character and ability into the pulpit of St.
Jobin's, as well as fill she position of use-
ful, progressive, sympathetic citizenship
he has held here. It is not a reflection
upon the membership of bis parish here to
congratulate him upon the change; for
while his field is necessarily limited in
Bellefonte in Hairisbarg he will have a
much giester opportunity for a display of
the talent he undoubtedly possesses,
While in Bellefonte Rev. Browne has
made bimsell felt in many spheres. He
has ever heen awake to local conditions
and tronbles, he bas heen an earnest advo-
cate of manly sports, he bas dabbled in
local polities when reform movements
were carrying, and bas been 20 closely in
toach with the everyday life of the com-
manity as to know its every phase and all
without losing any of the dignity or influ-
ence for good that should characterize one
of His ministers.
Rev. Browne came to Bellefonte from
Bramford, Conn., and assumed the rector-
ship of St. John's parish Joly 1st, 1808.
He bas proven one of the most ahle pastors
to preside over that church in years. He
was always active and progressive in
church work, being instrumental in the or-
ganization of the Chapter of the Daughters
of the King, the Brotherhood of St. An-
drew (now delnnot), the Knights of King
Arthur and one or two other organizations.
St. Paul's church, Harrisburg, to which
- | he goes, while not the largest church in
Harrisbarg, is one of considerable promi-
nence and with an attendasce more than
