DEATH OF SECRETARY OF STATE SMITHtRS

The news Of the >.,.-.n =. D~<-
wares Secretary of State, Hon
w. T. Smithers, came as shock |
to the entire State, early last Fri
day morning.
Although Mr.. Snithers had been
been in poor health for the past
two weeks and was under the care
of DR.. E. F. O'Day, no one con-
sidered his condition serious. He
attended to his duties as usual
and on Thursday selt that he was
improving. Accompanied by Mrs
Smlthers he attended an enter
tainment in Dover Op~,@ House,
halted at the State House on his
return, read in his own home until
about midnight, when he retired.
Finding that he was restless and
breathed with difficulty, he arose
and sat in chair for greater COM
fort.
His condition was not yet coA-
sidered alarming, but Doctors
To-Day and E. S. Anderson were
summoned. All their efforts to
bring relief proved of no avail
The patient grew steadily worse
and died about one a. n., being
conscious until the last.
Mr.. Smithers was a member oI
the State Highway Commission
and a short time ago toured
through Sussex over several pro-
posed routes. 1t is believed he
contracted a cold at that time
which proved fatal.
| William Townsend Smither
was born at Frederick, August 2o
1868. He was the son of JOSEPH
and Mary (Townsend Smithers
and was educated by private tu
tors and at the Academy of Pro
lessor William Reynolds, at vii
mlngton. He entered upon hi
| legal duties in 1877, with Hor
Nathaniel B. Smithers, of Dover
a relative, and was admitted t,
the bar in Kent county on Octo
Der 2I, 1882.
: Mr.. Smithers was Republica
] and always took an active intere:
III political and State affair
/ though he was never offensivel
i partisan, hence the esteem
e which he was held by men of othe
: political parties. His first ohici
party connection was in 1873
: when he became secretary of tt

cumulated greater individual fortunes

greatest amount of money to accom-.
plish the greatest good. The philan.
| thropies of other rich men look almost
insignificant beside the regal gifts OF
these two, though In proportion to the
wealth upon which they had to draw
other men may really have surpassed
them in generosity.
Today the live question In philan.
thropic circles is what will Mr.. Rookie.
Teller do next3 Other things being
equal, the man with the bigger bank
account should win the race. And
Mr.. Rockefeller Is the richer of the
two.
