JOSEPH JEFFERSON DIES
Noted Actor Passes Away in His
Florida Home,
Illness Of Some Days Had Presacsd tic
End--His Family at the
Bedside.

West Palm Beach, Fla.-Joseph JEFF
ferson died at 615 O'Clock at night, at
his home, The Reefs, Palm Beach Of
pneumonia. At his bedside with the
medical attendants were his wife; two
of his sons, Charles b. and Frank; his
granddaughter, Marion Jefferson and
Mrs. G. Symons, and his faithful old
servant, Carl Kettler,
He expressed a desire to see the
ocean during his last few moments, and
wanted to be left to die as peacefully
as he had lived while at The Reef. The
parting with his family was calm and
resigned.
The body was taken from Palm
Beach on special train to Buzzard's
Bay, Mass, accompanied by the mem
bers of the family who were here.
Since his last sinking spell, after a
rally on Thursday morning, which was
followed by an apparent Improvement
until Friday, the family had been wait
ing for the end. Mr.. Jefferson's con-
diti0n on Saturday night grew steadily
worse, and the family, who had retired,
were summoned. The patients condi-
ton continued to grow worse all
through the day, and the brief bull
letins from the bedside contained no
words of encoura cement.
The sickness was contracted, it is be-
lieved, while on recent visit to Mr..
Jefferson's son, Charles B. Jefferson,
at Hope Sound, a few miles above
Palm Beach, where the actor went to
meet ex-President Cleveland 1t is
believed that from a slight indiscre-
ton in eating there he suffered an at
tack of indigestion.

Joseph Jefferson was of the fourth
generation of the Jefferson family of
actors. The first of the family whose
name is recorded in the theatrical
annals Of Great Britain was Thomas
Jefferson, who was born in 1928 and
died in 1907. He was an actor of more
than respectable repute in the time of
Garrick.
The second Of the Jeffersons, Joseph,
son of Thomas, born in 1874, crossed
the Atlantic Ocean in 1895, and for
nearly twoscore years thereafter was
one of the best liked actors in this
country. With the famous old Chest
nut Street Theatre, in Philadelphia,
his name is inseparably connected
This Joseph Jefferson was comedian
of versatile powers. He had many
children. Thomas, his eldest son, was
an actor, who died in his young man
hood; John, another son, also an actor,
died young; Euphemia, who became an
actress, married William Anderson,
and was the mother of Mrs. G. G. Ger
mon and Mrs. Judah, and the grand
mother of Fife Germon; Elizabeth was
an actress of distinction. The other
children of the first Joseph Jefferson
did not take to the stage, except JOS
eph, his second son, who was born in
1904. He married Mrs. Thomas Burke.
He was country manager, often in
hard luck, and an actor of respectable
attachments. His son Joseph, born
February 20, 1929, in Philadelphia, was
the Jefferson of our own era, the great

His childhood and Youth.

Young Joseph, besides having a the
atrical ancestry from whom he might
have been expected to inherit the dra-
matte gift, was trained to the footlights
almost from his infancy. The cele-
brated s'Jim Grow" Rice employed him
in his darby song and dance when the
child was only four years old. He was
carried on the stage in a large bag,
from which he emerged in the guise
of little colored person, the very
counterpart of the grown-up Jim Grow,
whose singing and dancing he initiated
to perfection In 1887 he took part in
a broadsword combat, la Master
Crummles, on the stage of the Frank
lin Theatre, in New York, where his
parents were then engaged. During
the next twelve years the family were
strolling actors, travelling in the West
and South. Joseph passed about three
months at school in all his boyhocd.
He suffered many hardships and pri-
vations, but he mastered his art.
Mr.. Jefferson acted Rip Van Wrinkle,
the part he made famous. throughout
the United States. For many years he
needed no other piece. The public could
not seem to get enough of the humor
and pathos of Rip. His two long en-
gagements at Booths Theatre are sill
remembered. In 1869 Jefferson bought
house with ample grounds, beauti-
fully situated in the Saddle River dis
trlct of Bergen County, N. J., near the
hamlet of Hohokus. This place, which
he greatly beautified and improved I'M
til it became a model country residence.
he sold in 1888 In 1869, also, he
bought his Louisiana plantation, of
which so much has been said in print.
His summer house on the shore OF
Buzzard's Bay called Crows Nest, was
built later, and, with the furniture and
art works it contained, cost $4,000
1t was burned April 1, 1898, but ths
builders were soon set to work upon
new house on the same site.
In his leisure hours he found plenty
Of pleasant occupation away from the
theatre. He was a painter of quite
unusual skill for an amateur, and an
expert fisherman, too.
| Mr.. Jefferson had, by his two wives,
| eight children. His eldest son, Charles
Burke Jefferson, has been an actor,
and was for time prosperous the
atrical manager. Other cons are

ident's Power AmpIe-Ffny Panama

Washington, D. G. Attorney Gen.
eral Moody has rendered an opinion
about the effect Of Congress- failure
to legislate for the government of the
Panama Canal zone, under WHICH the
Government will now go ahead just as
II there had been legislation. The fail
ure Of Congress to take action was not
accidental, but deliberate. The House
was determined to clean out the old
Walker Canal Commission. It passed
a bill for that purpose, presented by
Representative Mann, Of the CONNER
ciai Committee, and bearing the
stamp Of that committees approval.
The influence Of some members OF
the commission blocked the bill in the
Senate, where counter bill was in
troduced. Whatever may have been
the reasons of Congress for failing to
re-enact or complete its legislation,
the proper presumption is that it was
of the opinion that the power con-
ferred upon the President was ample
and continued until 1t should other
wise direct, and that it rested content
on the knowledge that until it should
otherwise direct the existing temper
airy government survived and went out
to perform its functions and duties as
already marked out
1.-THE Secretary of War on March 6,
1905, cabled to the Governor of the
canal zone that the administration of
government there would continue as
before. The principle is that where a
territorial government under the au-
thority of the United States, temper
airy and provisional in character, has
its origin in lawful authority. it con-
tinues to enforce the law and serve the
usual purposes of civilized institutions
until it is legally displaced. This prin-
clple arises ex-necessitate and means
that anarchy shall not follow because
there has been legislative omission
or failure to provide new and perma-
nent status.
This principle must be equally APP
plicabIe whether the original fightful
authority was an exercise of the war
power or whether it rested, as here,
upon temporary and provisional laws
of Congress"

Polish cities in state Of Siege.

Although disorders more or less serious
have been anticipated everywhere,
Poland and the Baltic provinces prob
ably are the storm centres. General
Maximoyitch, Governor General of
Warsaw, has just returned to his post
after a conference here, clothed with
almost dictatorial powers. All the Po-
fish cities have been in a state of minor
siege, but the Governor General was
authorized to declare martial law, and
ample troops have been furnished.
There were many disquietlng reports
of disaffection of troops, and the names
of regiments, even in the Imperial
Guards, were given as having been
won over to 'the cause of liberty"
The military authorities, however. said
there was no question of the loyalty
of the troops and that orders would be
obeyed. They admitted, however, that
the revolutionaries have pushed their
propaganda among the soldiers with
great earnestness. Special regulations
have been instituted to keep the army
free from contamination, and these
have been enforced In individual cases,
both of officers and men, who have
been found to be in communication
with revolutionaries. Such cases, the
authorities declared. have been de-
tected. particularly among Jews, and
severely punished, but the authorities
are confident thatNno units have been
affected

COLLEGE BUILDING BURNED.
Vanderbilt University Suffers Loss Of
500. 900 Water Supply Inadequate.

Nashville, Tenn The main building
of Vanderbilt University, the leading
educational institution of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South, was de-
stroyed by fire, the loss being estimated
at 100000
Owing to an inadequate water supply
and a strong wind the structure could
not be saved. Flying sparks ignited
several small residences and stables on
Hayes and Church streets, several
blocks away, and these burned despite
the efforts of the firemen. The origin
of the flames in the university is not
known.
Vanderbilt University was founded In
1875 by Commodore Vanderbilt.
