successful career together on the stage
Mr. Florence's best known parts are those
of Bardwell Slote in the mighty Dollar"
and Captain Cutie in "Bombey and Son. 4"
Mr. Florence's name originally was Con-
lin, but as he had adopted the stage name
of Florence he legalized his right TO the
latter.
He Was Always "nilly Florence"
On the play bills only was he William j.
Florence. From one end of the country to
the other people will hear the news of his
death with a sense Of personal loss.
With him dies a score Of people whom
he made-people whom others fashioned
into human shape, but whom Billy Flor
ence lighted with that divine spark which
made them live and be.
lie was an incorrigible joker The friend
of friends, the prince of reconteurs, the
soul Of honor has passed away. The bon
vivant and bibiophile, the scntimentalist
and gourmet, lies in the coffin with one
of the finest gentlemen and best actors the
stage ever had. Perhaps no one in this
broad land was 80 universally loved as
Billy Florence. And those who knew him
best loved him most
They knew that he would travel hun
dreds Of miles to play practical joke and
twice as far to do friend favor. They
knew how hn loved books and fun. They
laughed over the humorous stories he told
so well and smiled over the sentimental
stories he wrote so badly.
They knew his whimsical superstitions,
his naive innocence which seemed too gro
tesque in man so worldly wise. For
forty-two years Billy Florence has been
making people love life as he loved it.

GENIAL BILLY FLORENCE.
Scotch OF His Long and Successful
Professional Career.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Civilian j.
Florence, the actor, died of pneumonia at
the Continental Hotel at $3.50 o'clock last
evening. Death came as n startling sur
prise to those in attendance, as his condi-
tion had been considered as improving
during the afternoon and evening. Mr..
Florence was somewhat fiighty during the
afternoon. Toward evening he slept most
of the time, however, and his death came
peacefully. The first intimation the watch
ers had Of his death was that he had
ceased to breathe.
Mrs. Florence, who is in England, will
leave for New York Saturday. 1t is be-
lieved the dead actor will be inferred in
Brooklyn. The interment will probably
not take place until Mrs. Florence's ar
rival.

appearance as an actor in Richmond In

MISS KELLY'S SUIT.

The girls in the envelope factory have
just finished luncheon when the fore
man comes in and announces that owing
to break in the machinery work will
be suspended for the rest of the day.
Though this will make some difference
in the amount of their bills at the end of
the week, the girls are not sorry for this
half holiday. 1t gives them an oppor-
tunity to do many things. There is Miss
Maggie Kelly, for instance.
This young lady had long been wait
ing for a chance to visit that locality in
definitely described as up town" in
order TO inspect the various styles of
gowns, wraps and hats offered there for
sale. She is about to purchase a new
suit and proposes to have it in the latest
style. She can get n fairly correct idea
Of this by visiting the various establish
ments where costumes are displayed.
After the foreman has made the an
nouncement that the girls will have that
afternoon TO themselves, Miss Kelly hur-
riedly fixes herself up. Then she says to
one of the girls:
Hey, Name! Come up town with me,
will yerT' The young lady addressed
assents, and so they start.
They spend pretty much all the after
noon visiting the big dry goods stores
and inspecting the costumes worn by
the women out shopping. Maggie scans
the latter closely, and is much struck by
the beauty of several "swagger" cos
tunes worn by young ladies about her
size and build, Why could not she have
one?
In the next establishment visited is
fine display Of these pleasing innovations
in womans attire. Miss Kelly inspects
them all with deliberation. The more
she does, the more infatuated does she
become with the swagger costume.
She inquiries the prices, and her heart
sinks as she finds they are beyond the
amount of her capital. With her face
bearing sad. hopeless expression, she
goes home. Miss Maggie does not sleep
well that night. Her dreams are dis
turbed by visions of shirt bosoms, four
finland ties and cute little vests. In the
morning she awakes unrefreshed
Her longing 10 possess n swagger suit
has grown during the night She tries
to overcome this by settling her mind on
other objects. but fails utterly. Only q
swagger suit will appease that wild long
ing. She must-she will have it within
q week, but how?
Presently an idea strikes her. The
cloud clears from her face. Her spirits
rise. During that afternoon Maggie is
80 gay and lighthearted that her COM
psnions in the envelope factory cannot
refrain from remarking her manner.
The following Saturday evening finds
the young woman about to finish her
swagger suit. Ever since that idea first
seized her Maggie has been busy making
gown and jacket. All she lacks is the
shirt bosom and tie. She would have
had these before but for lack Of funds
Having received her weeks pay at the
s."'nrr nn Saturday afternoon Miss Ksl.
