LONDON, Sept, 9S,-Wilkie Collins, th'
famous novelist, who had been seriousl!
i'll for some time, died to-day,
William Wilkle Collins was born il
London In the year 1924, He was edp
Gated at home and also studied on thu
Continent. After q few years spent il
commerce he was entered as q student al
Lincoln's Inn, but he found literature
more 10 his taste than law, and first ven
tured In that field by preparing a bio
graphy OF bis father, which was pub
lished in lS4S. Two years later he made
his first attempt as a novelist, but
achieved only a moderate success, In
1851 he published q volume Of pic
turesque writing entitled "Rambles be-
yond Railways: q Narrative OF a Walk.
ing Tour in Cornwall"
Having secured some amount OF atten'
tion, Mr.. Collins became connected with
Dickens in Household Words and AH ute
Year Round. He was perhaps the only
prominent associate Of Dickens who did
not sedulously initiate him, In 1850 he
published "Aftcr Dark" in 1856 "The
Dead Secret, In 1859 "The Queen OF
Hearts" In 1850 "The Woman in
White" appeared, being the first pub
lished In AHthe Year Round, This story
gave him high place among authors.
In 1865 "Armadale' appeared, for which
the author received very large remuner'
alton; but he did not repeat his former
success until he published "rhe Moon
stone," In 1903.
1t were hardly too much to say thatin
sheer ingenuity Of construction "The
Moonstone" has no superior, aud per.
haps no equal In fiction. In '73 "The New
Magdalen" appeared, being first publish
cd in Temple Bar. The idea crystallized in
this book was q very old one, liable to
offend all stiCklers for the conventional
in social Determinations, but the no.
bility Of the authors motive was deemed
sufficient to override all minor short
comings. 0fhis many other books those
entitled TO mention are: "The Law and
the Lady" (1S75), "The Frozen Deep"
"My Lady's Money" "Jezebel's Daugh.
ter" "ThG Legacy OF Cain"
In 1884 Mr.. Wilkie Collins visited
America, and read there two Of his short
stories, "Tho Frozen Deep" and "The
Dream Woman" He has had a career
as a dramatiSt, aud has even played in
person. His arst drama, "The Light
house, was privately played at Tayi.
stock House, and afterwards brought
out at tho Olympic Theatre. "The
Frozen Deep was dramatized, and
Dickens played in II, "The Moonstone"
and "The Woman in White were pro.
duced at the Olympic, but did not sue
