The Career of Florence.

The Career of Florence.
No actor in this country ever had as
strong hold on the affections of both the
public and profession as w. j. Florence.
He was one of those genial spirits whom
everybody loved and it is doubtful if LIE
had an enemy in the world. He was ad-
mired not only as a comedian but as a
man of character, who honored the theat-
rical profession by being connected with
it. The career of Mr.. Florence was u net
able one His right name was Conlin. He
was born in Albany, N. Y. When mere
lad he manifested a taste for the stage,
and soon got position to play minor
parts in comedies. This was along in the
forties. His ceverness in Irish characters
attracted attention, and it was not long
until his services were in demand.
About 1854 he married. and his wife be-
came a sharer in his subsequent successes.
She was a sister of Mrs Barney Williams,
who was also an actress of great talent.
The first great hit made by Florence was
in "The Irish Emperor" followed closely
by Bob Briefly in "The Ticket of Leave
Man" Every theater-goer is familiar
with his wonderful character of Bardwell
Sloat iii "fhe Mighty Dollar" Billy
Florence was sixty years of age and re-
markably well preserved for his age. He
had a ruddy handsome face, and was al
ways the same genial, courteous, gener-
Gus fellow In the theatrical profession
he was loved by all, from the highest to
the lowest. 1t is hardly probable that
Florence will take rank among the truly
great comedians of this country, but he
was always pleasing and earnest He was
n bright example of the dignity and pur-
ity of the stage. No breath of scandal
ever dammed the luster of his fame He
was model husband, loyal friend and
enemy of no one
The sorrow over his untimely taking off
will be genuine and widespread, for he
never provoked any of those petty jealous
les which are characteristic of 80 many Of
his contemporaries As an actor of the
old school, he kept up with the times, and
was one of the most agreeable of the
coterie of comedians who connect the past
generation 1f the stage with the pres

Florence at one time had an ambition to

The report that Fonseca is Fastening
preparations for the new elections, being
alarmed by the signs of popular dissatis-
faction with adictatorship, and that he
has promised to lay down the powers he
assumed as soon as the next congress
comes into existence, Fonseca has in
creased the pay of the army officers,
who have absolute control over the men,
the latter being hardly capable of in
telligent reasoning and blindly obedieLt
to their superiors. As the soldiers ere
excluded from voting they feel little
interest in the questions of civil govern
ment. Fonseca's strong point is said to
be his popularity with the commanding
officers, with nearly all of whom he is
on terms of comradeship, and who look
on his government as their own crea-

Nothing Less Than tn Downfall and Pun
ishment of Fonseca.
The Times prints a dispatch from it's
correspondent at Santiago, saying that
Baron Lucerna, the president of Marshal
Fonseca's council of ministers, has tele-
graphed to the junta, in the name of
Fonseca, begging for peace and Offering
to restore or to establish any form of To-
cal government that the people of
Rio Grande do Sui desire. The junta is
also asked to state the causes of their
grievances and to name the conditions
upon which they will disband their
forces.
To this appeal, according to The
Times dispatch, the junta promptly re-
piled that it would only disarm its forces
when Marshal Fonseca has resigned the
presidency and the dictatorship, and
when the constitution of the United
States Of Brazil is again respected
throughout the length and breadth of
Brazil
All differences of opinion among the
members of the iunta seem to have
been definitely settled by the withdrawal
of the peace-at-any-price party from
their councils. 1t is reported in this
connection that DR.. Assiz Brazil and
General Barros Cassal have, in conse-
quence of the bitter feeling expressed
towards Fon3eca and his party, resigned
all affiliation with the revolutionary
movement. As DR.. Assiz Brazil was
recently announced to have been select
ed rs minister of war of the junta, this
report is another of those which need
confirmation.
According to one cable message re-
ceived here Fonsecas overthrow seems
to be the main point which the junta
and its supporters now have in view, and
it is said that they will be satisfied with
nothing less than his downfall and his
punishment for violating the constitu-

fed with Nothing Less Than His Down
falIand Punishment.
LONDON, Nov. 21,-The cablegrams
Friday morning from Brazil briefly an
nounced that there had been a sharp
engagement off Rio Grande at the en-
trance to the lake or river leading up to
Port Alegre, the capital of the new
"Republica do Sui" where the vessels
sent en- reconnaissance by Marshal Fon-
SEGA were defeated. They found that
the insurgents had most cleverly forti-
fed the approaches to the bar, Rio
Grande, over which vessels drawing
only thirteen feet can pass. and that a
heavy bombardInent was necessary to
force that passage.
The two gunboats and the torpedo
boat sent to reconnoiter the place appear,
according to the cable message referred
to, to have been hit several times. One
of the gunboats is reported as seriously
damaged and the torpedo boat which
pushed pluckily to the front and tried to
get over the bar, is reported to have been
"riddled by Gatling guns" From this
it is presumed that rapid-fre gun was
brought to bear upon her and succeeded
in finding the bull's-eye.
The Engagement Confirmed.
From another source comes cable
gram saying simply: "Fonsecas war
ship failed to force passage into Rio
Grande." From this it is Judged that
the report as to the attack made by the
dictator's two gunboats and torpedo
boat previo usly referred to, is in the
main correct.
