W. W. Brown died at the residence of his brother-in-law, Cap- tain Joshua Mitchell, in Milesburg, last Friday night. God give us grace to be charitable to those for whom he fought and in whom his glazing eyes saw not even a resem- blance of gratitude. In 1868 Col. Brown, with A. B. Hutchinson Esq., established the Bellefonte Republican. He fought the fights of his party here and in Kansas and died with- out a reward. On the 25th of March he came into this office physically exhausted, mentally distres He had just returned from the Garfield inaurgural. Eking at his heart was realization of the fact that he was a spent man and like an old shoe, was useless in the eyes of those from whom he had hoped might come some recognition for the long and brilliant service he had rendered his party and yet he was only fifty- nine, Politically he was our most vituperative enemy. Personal- ly he was a noble man. We put him on in the e. When the train for Milesburg was ready we helped him to the station, bade him good-bye and never saw Col. Biwwi afin until we looked at him in the repose of death. — About 500 trout were caught about here on the opening day of the season.

The passing | Mrs. Louise Hoy Reynolds, wife Col. W. Fred Reynolds, at her home on east Linn street, at nine o'clock on Sunday morning, was not unex- pected but, nevertheless, a cause for the ' sicians and speciali such a brave fight for life, figs E § Bellefonte Academy. 1893, she married Col. W, Fred Rey- nolds and ever since had the Reynolds home, on Linn street. During her girlhood life she was a member of the Presbyterian church and always took a prominent part in all church activities. After her marriage she transferred her mem- bership to the Episcopal church and was just as active a worker in that congregation. She was a member of the Daughters cof the American Revolution, the Woman's Civic club and the Bellefonte branch of the American Red Cross. During the World war she was unusually active in the work of the Red Cross, her work and interest intensified be- cause of the fact that both her sons were in the army overseas. And on that happy day, November 11th, 1918, when word was broadcast that an armistice had been declared, not a woman in Bellefonte manifested a more spontaneous outburst of joy and happiness than Mrs, Reynolds. She was among the first appointees to the board of the Mother's Assis- tance Fund in Centre county after the law was enacted and to this work she gave unstintingly her best endeavors. Ill health compelled her to resign from the board two years ago, but that her good work was remembered has been proven by the number of letters she received during her illness from mothers whom she aided in securing much-needed assistance. In her home life, her church, her various club and public activities she always manifested a sweet simplicity and gracious charm that won for her lasting friendships. In her passing she leaves to sur- (vive her hi and two sons, Capt. W. Frederick Reynolds, of Toronto, Canada, and Philip, of New | York city; also two sisters and two ‘brothers, Misses Anna H. and Mary Hoy, of Bellefonte; J. Harris, of Chicago, and Randolph H.. of Craf- ton. Funeral services were held in St. John's Episcopal church at 2.30 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, by the ‘rector, Rev. Stuart F, Gast, after which interment was made in the Reynolds lot in the Union cemetery. Wo i YEARICK.—Mrs. Nancy Jane Yearick, wife of John 8.

FLEMING Heralding the echo from a dis- ‘tant past when the streets of Belle- fonte rumbled with wagons loaded with the household goods of familes migrating from the east to take part in the great iron boom, the same streets last Friday rumbled with auto trucks bearing away from the oid Macmanus homestead, on the corner of Allegheny and Howard streets, that antique furniture that had made the journey across the mountains from Carlise over a cen- tury before. Like leaves scattered before an autumn wind the furniture was dis- persed to the four corners of the State. Antique buyers from all over the east had flocked to have a hand in the purchasing of the valuable pieces that the old homestead had held for so long, Mrs. Richard Quigley, wife of Senator Quigley, of Lock Haven, was principal among the purchasers. Her total purchases amounted to nearly sixteen-hundred dollars and the proceeds from the en- tire sale of household equipment, twenty-five hundred. The pair of Chippendale mahogany tables went to Mrs. Quigley for $305 each. She also purchased the small sewing cabinet, the silver candle sticks, the jig-saw mirror and numerous small- er articles. The appraised value of the furnishings had been set at only five-hundred dollars. The house which has been a land- mark in Bellefonte was sold to For- rest Tanner, director of the National Air Transport field a short distance from Bellefonte, for $5905, ninety five less than the value by the apprais- ers. Mr, Tanner will occupy his newly purchased home as soon as the interior is redecorated. It will be necessary for him to either use the house as it now stands or erect another house since the clause in Miss Macmanus’ will prevents the use of the prominent cornar for commercial occupation for a period of twenty-one years after her death which occurred a little over a year ago. With the sale of the house and furnishings of the late Margdret Macmanus another chapter has been closed in Bellefonte's book of the living and another entry made on the roll of the families dead. Miss Macmanus was the last of a clan that had journeyed from Carlise early in the ninteenth century to make their home in the then virgin territory of Centre county. The house in which she died and which has been so recently sold into the hands of another was erected in 1803 by James Harris, co-founder of Bellefonte. From his hands it passed to Thomas Moore who in turn sold it to General Philip Ben- ner,iron king of the Central Penn- sylvania district ‘and veteran of the Revolutionary-war. Two yearsafter General Benner's death, in 1833, the heirs of his estate sold the property to James Macmanus, a young lawyer of Scottish ancestry, It was here that Miss Margaret was born, in 1839. Salvaged from the wiles of the collectors was the picture of the stormy Macmanus which will hang in the Centre county court house. It was within those four walls that Mr. Macmanus gained his greatest fame. He was reputed to be one of the ablest lawyers the county has ever known. He was a fiery Democrat, noted for his ability in making po- litical speeches. Miss Macmanus was the picture of contentment. She fitted the sur- roundings in the old house like a picture in a book. Tragedy had played a great part in her life, but she never ceased . to smile. . While skating in her youth she had injured her spine to such an extent that for a period of years she had been a hopeless cripple and never fully recovered. In later life she could be seen sittng in her window smil- ing on the world that had been so harsh and cruel to her. For the past eight years Miss Macmanus had been attended by Miss Engle, a sweet, elderly lady who attended every want and whim of the aged Bellefonte resident. In her will Miss Macmanus bequeathed the sum of $1000 to her nurse and requested that this sum be paid be- fore any other. Bellefonte has lost another family. The goods have been removed and the house has passed to other hands. The pleasant smiles of Miss Mac- manus will be seen no more and the old residenters mourn the passing They do not mourn the old lady who has passed to a fairer field where the torture of an injured back will ‘be forgotten in the pleasant com- pany of the ones she loved in life, but they mourn the passing of another dynasty and the removal from the roll of families of the first and best known in the town. The sunken brick wall protrudes from the old house like a spear pro- 'tecting it against the encroachments of commercial interests. The old house stands guarding its corner as it has so faithfully for one-hundred ‘and twenty seven years. Its life is on trial and like a condemned man lit stoically looks drearily out on the world awaiting the verdict of the | buyer. ——Today being Good Friday the public schools will be closed and the | pupils will have an extra day's va- cation.
