DEATH OF SuLLY THE ARTIST.-At 6 o'clock
this morning the long life Of Thomas Slillv
came to peaceful close. The infirmiticS OF
age. aggravated by accidents and illness, had
for some time led his family and friends to
anticipate this result. 4 fall Inst winter, by
which one OF the bones nf Ills arin was frac-
tured, and another last summer, ny which
his knce-pan was broken. had Il serious effect
upon his aged and dcbiltatcd system. The
heat of the past summer, during which he
was compelled to remain in the city, also
| brought on a malady Of Il serious nature.
For several weeks fatal termination Of his
disease has been anticipated.
ThomaS Sulv was born in Hornr.stle,
Lincolnshire, England, in June, 1888, SO
that he was in the nineticth year of his age.
His parents were actors, and came to this
country in 1892, bringing him with them.
He began 10 study painting in Charleston,
). c., hut afterwards Went TO Richmond,
VA, where hc so"n became Il successful por.
tE1it.painlcr. Subsequently he went to New
York. hut finally settled in Philadelphia
about the year 1909. For the last .ittv-tlrcc
years Mr.. SulIy has Lived here, beloved aud
respected T.: ali who knew him. During
all this time he has been hard worker.
Artists of the past and present generation
hy his counsel. He WAS Il friend of Gilbert
stuart, and h. encouraged Charles Robert
Leslie in his early efforts. He has painted
portraits OF more famous men and
women than probably any other man
of his time. His picture of Cook the
tragcdian rs "hichard ILL.,; that OF!
Mrs. Wood, the singer. a. "Amina" :;
those Of Fanny kenble, Charles kcmbIe,

! Charles Carroll for his descendants in Ralti-

| traits by him in private families. all Of which
are distinguished for beauty OF color ms well
