 She Passes Away Alter . Very short
 Illness.
 Mrs. Esse Booth Sloan died yester- dav afternoon about 1 o'clock at the home of her mother, Mrs. Margaret Booth, TIT Sayre Street. Mrs. sloan had been Ill only a few days and tne news of her death was great sur nriae and shock to her many friends.
 Mrs. Sloan was Principal Of the west End School. Going home last FrIday afternoon from her work, she complained of being unwell. A physi- clan saw her Saturday and pronounced her trouble tonsilitis.4o Later a spec iaiist was called into consultation, and an operation was performed. Never theless blood poisoning developed, and though an antitoxin was administered on Monday afternoon. the skill or the physicians was unavailtng.
 Mrs Sloan was born and reared In Montgomery. She was the daughter of the late Henry Booth, whose memory Is treasured by many friends. sne was married some years ago to James T. sloan, who died very soon after the marriage. She was about 30 years old at her death. Since childhood she had been a member of the First Presbyte- rian Church and was active in its work.
 Mrs. Sloan adopted the profession of < LoACnlHBp anu pStteOCcu hCtSCAk ASA work by special courses at Mt. Hoi- yoke Seminary and at Cornell Univer- sity. Tn addition to her fine intellec- sual equipment, she had much of the spirit of the missionary. For some time she conducted a private school in West End, and when that section was incorporated into the municipality Of Montsomery, she was made Principal of the West End School. She had un- usual opportunities for showing her devotion to her work. and did far more than her teaching duty in the class room. She constantly went to the ueighborhood of her school before school hours, hunted up children in the factory district and brought them into the school. frequently providing them with the additional clothing required to make them more presentable. She endeared herself to children and par snts alike with her nobility and unsel- hshness. There were many moist eyes among her pupils yesterday afternoon when her death was announced to them.
 Mrs. Sloan is survived by her mother and sisters, Mrs. Charles Campbell. Mrs. W. F. Fry. MiPses Margaret and Kate Booth and one brother Henry Booth.
 The funeral will take place at S:s0 o'clock this afternoon from her moth CTS residence. IF sayre Street. Rev. H. W. Edmonds of the First Presby- terian Church will oficiate.
