Noble of the Mystic Shrine in good and
regular standing. His widow will receive
$1,000 from the Northwestern Masonic
Mutual Aid Association and 5000 from
the knights Templar's Insurance Associa-

This statement Is made on the authority
OF DIR. Walter NJ. Fleming Of 2lo Fifth
avenue, who was associated with Mr..
Florence in the founding of the Noble
Order in America, and was a member with
INN III the organization iii this city.
"Of course, said DIR. Fleming To Times
reporter FLORENCE was member Of the
order at the time of his death. No secret
was made Of it at the time. issued the
proclamation of his death. which was pub
llshed in the Times and other newspapers.
The story that he renowned the order on
his dcathbed is false. lie was not account
able for anything he may have said to the
Philadelphia priest. Besides we have no
positive assurance that he did saw any
thing like u remuneration"
DR.. Fleming showed the reporter card
of admission to Scottish Rite Hall for
Thursday evening, December Sd, when a
Lodge Of sorrow was held under the d.
rection of the Lodge of Perfection, Ancient
Accepted Scottish Rite, in memory of the
late actor and Others. The Mobiles also
issued tickets of admission to the actors
funeral in ST. Agnes Roman Catholic
Church. These tickets were exactly SINH
lar TO the regular tickets issued by author
ity Of the church functionaries, with the
word Special printed in deep black
across one end.
The Significance of these tickets was not
detected by the outsiders. A number of
Masonic symbols were also woven into the
floral designs about the casket. The priests
did. not suspect il.
Commodore Joseph II. Tooker told the
reporter that Mrs. Florence would accept
her husbands insurance money. She had
been notified that the money would be
paid TO her Mr.. Tooker said that Mrs.
Florence did not consider the insurance
evidence OF her husbands connection with

all she had to tell. To put IL shortly
her story ran as follows: Her husband
had gone TO his club-Tom is Buffalo
she was suddenly awakened by noise
IN the room; she saw gigantic figure
standing at the foot OF the bed; it wore
peaiacket, a red comforter, and a fur
cap; the face was concealed by hideous
mask. "The mans eyes sparkled like
burning Goals" she said; din his hand
was pistol, which might have gone of
at any moment. | tainted away at once.
When | came to myself Tom was hold
ing the smelling bottle to my nose; and
oh, Mr. Pushard, | shall never believe
IN you and the Anti-Burglar Security
Association any more.n Then she went
OF into fits of llysterical laughter, and
went back to the office to draw uD my
report.
They never caught Mr.. Smoucher, the
eminent cracksman.
II was about a year after the burglary
at Arabella Villa that Tom Shiftless
came into his uncle's money. Within a
week he had another stroke of luck; he
discovered the whole Of the property
which had been stolen from Arabella
villa; he carne TO theofiice one morning
and informed me of the fact; in his
hand was Il check for Els lis. 4d.
"Mr. Pushard," he said (the fellow,
now that he had come into his money,
actually had the impertinence to be dis.
tant to me. | was his dear Dolly once.

Your conduct does you immense

my enthusiasm.
But the upstart thrust his hands into
his pockets, and he wouldn't even sit
down.
One can't afford to quarrel with

"l4et me offer you u glass Of sherry.
Tom Hospitality cried, 'just to show
there is no ill-feeling." Then handed
him the receipt
Il don't want your sherry, Mr.. Push
