New York, June 16.—Mrs. Mary Sedley Smith, America’s oldest act- ress, died yesterday in her sleep at her home, 99 Claremont avenue. Al- though 87. years old, she appeared in April last year as the nurse In “Romeo and Juliet” at a perform- ance given by the Pro!mlonll ‘Wom- an's league. rs. Smith’s father was Willlam H. B-dloy. manager of the Boston Mu- seum. Her mother was the famous Sarah Riddle, who reached the height of her success in the middle of the last century. At thirteen Marie Sedley appeared as Juliet at an amateur performance. Charlotte Cushman begged to take the little actress abroad to study, but at that time she was not inclined to- ward the stage. It was not until after her first mar- riage that she made her professional debut in 1862 as Margery in “The Rough Diamond.” Later she appeared in New York as a member of the celebrated -stock company of the old Winter Garden. Her success still later on the Pa- eific Coast prompted BEdwin Booth to call her east’to join his company. She had played Nurse to many fa- mous Juliets. Her first husband was Willlam Henry Brown. Her second :was the late 801 Smith, a well known actor. She leaves four children, Sedley, Ed- ward and Alice Brown and Mrs. El- | mer Smith Redding: Ap- WILSON PARDONS 5,000, Grants Amnesty to Those Under Suse pended Sentences, ‘Washington, June 16. — Nearly 5,000 persons at liberty under sus- pended dentences imposed by federal courts have received ‘“full amnesty and pardon from President Wilson in a proclamation carrying out the re- cently announced policy of extending clemency in:suth cases. Without the exercise of such clemency the persons affected would have' b compelled; under a supreme court mandaie to peturn to custody tomorrow. The proclamation, signed yester- day and made public today, points out that many of those under sus- pended sentences have been at liberty for long periods and have established. themselves as valuable factors in their communities to that their re- turn to custody ‘would serve no good purpose. The supreme court decision affecting them was delivered last December, the court holding unanimously that no federal Jjudge has authority to suspend a sentence, but staying its mandate until June 18.

Although clouds obscured the sun most of the day the ‘sunshine .of happipess” was seen in every face and it is quite certain that every oné agreed with one little old lady who quietly said, “I wish you would come every year.” The ladies of the Masonic Home were not the only ‘happy ones, for is it not true that ‘“those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cahnot keep it from themselves ?” GIRL SHOOTS MAYOR. “Don’t Punish Her,” Is His Dying Plea. Bluefleld, W. Va., June 16.—E. C. Carter, 49, a prominent politician, capitalist; president of the Union Bank and Trust company, coal opers ator, philanthropist and mayor of this city, is dead as a result of a .pis- tol shot fired by Miss Bessie Youns, 17, a High school girl, who now is in Jaill here with her mother, Mrs. Mil- dred Young. Miss Young declared that Mayor Carter was in their home, abusing and beating her mother, and had threatened to kill them both when she shot ‘him. Before dying the mayor regained consciousness, called two prominent citisens to his bed- side and told them the details of his clandestine attentions to the mother of the girl, covering a period of al- most ten years. He admitted that the girl’s statement was. correct, and added: alone am to blame; do mot punish the girl.” Mayor Carter leaves a wife and three grown children and was one of the most prominent citizens in this section. Mrs Young said: “I would rather have been shot myself than Mr. Carter.” 2 He had served three terms as mayor of this city and was deputy sheriff of Mercer county for two years. LADY TURNER OFFICERS.

Lack of News Leads to Rumors of London, Saturday, June 16.—The Daily Chronicle says there has been no direct news of events in Spain of a later date tham Tuesday, and, in view of the unceftain political situa- tion, vague rumors have gained cur- rency as to the spread ‘of the revolu- tionary movement in the country, British business firms with interests in Spain regard the situation as grave. The censorship 18 of the strictest character, and all busineas and trade communications are held up. Demands for reforms by military communities led to much trouble and directly produced the cabinet crisis which, apparently ended Monday last, when Senator Dato took office as pre- mier. The issue is one between the army and civil administration of the country, and the signs of laté have been that the effective power. was slipping from the hands of the latter.
