VIM. Hobbs vas called to WAltham.
last week, by telegram announcing the
serious illness Of his d lighter, Mrs.
Alice b. Smith. He left immediately
but before he had time to reach there
another telegram announced her death.
Mrs. Smith was well known and had
hosts of friends here in this. her former
home and her sudden and fatal illness
came as u shock TO them "a well as to
| her immediate relatives. We copy the
| following from the Walthsm Free Press f.:
"I'he news OF The sudden death of Mrs.
Arthur +. Smith came with startling
suddenness To the hosts of friends Of
both herself aud husband. Surprise
gave way 10 wonder. ana wonder 10
keen sympathy for him. Everyone
CURED MS 10 the cause, but 20 ore could
tell 1t seems that Mira. Smith was VS.
iting friends in Newburyport, where she
went on Tuesday, apparently in excel
lent health. On Thursday afternoon,
Mr.. Smith, who WAS at his school, re-
ceiVed n telegram from NeWburyport
announcing her serious illness and indi
eating that he should come at once. He
dropped everything, as it were, and
started for that city, but did rot arrive
there until O'Clock, and then found, 10
his unspeakable sorrow, that his wife
had passed away three hours before.
We understand that she had had dis
turbanee of the heart for some time, tut
apparently not enough 10 cause any seri-
Gus uneasiness. For this reason the
especial shock TO her friends WIS much
greater. Her maiden name was Alice
Belle Hobbs, and she WAS born in MI
ridgrWocb, Ne. in 1859. She came 10
W altham about 1850 and up 10 he time
1t Ter marriage, which occurred Apr ;,
1897. she was employed in the finishing
department of the American Watch fse-
tory. She Was woman Of exceedingly
/ lovable disposition, naturally some" hat
retiring, true TO her friends ard esteem
ed and respected by all with whom she
came In contact The nAuy friends
here extend the bereaved family their
heartfelt sympathy in their siflction.

We hear that Mrs. Murphy has receip-
ed another letter from her son, W. NJ.
Murphy, who is In Alaska and he re
ports feeling fine and growing fat.
W. NJ. Hayden has decided to leave
here with his photograph gallery the
