kIe" Lays Down to Eternal Sleep
Afte- Eventful Stage Career.

Joseph Jefferson, popular, beloved
and aged actor, died at his home,
"The Reefs" at Palm Beach, Fla,
at 6:15 o'clock Sunday evening. The
end came after a day Of unconscious
ness and after a heroic struggle OF
days which had exhausted his vitality.
At his deathbed were his wife, his
sons, Charles B. and Frank Jefferson;
his nurse, Miss Mabel Bingham; DR..
r. B. Potter and his faithful old
servant, Carl Kettler.
The illness Of Mr.. Jefferson, which
ended in his death, was contracted, 1t
is believed, while on a recent visit to
his son, Charles B. Jefferson, at Hobe
Sound, few miles above Palm Beach,
where he went to meet his friend,
former President. Cleveland. 1t is be-
lleved that from a slight indiscretion
in his eating, he suffered an attack
Of Indigestion.
The body of Mr.. Jefferson will be
taken to Buzzard's Bay on a special
train.
A special from Buzzard's Bay, Mass,
says: The progress of Joseph Jetfer-
sons last illness was followed anx:
ioxsly IN this, his Cape Cod home,
and the announcement Of his death
was received With genuine sorrow
by the townspeople, to whom he had
become a familiar figure during fif.
teen years Of summer residence here.
So popular was Mr.. Jefferson on
Cape Cod that he had served for many
years as the president of the Old Col
ony Club, the summer driving club OF
the cape, whose annual repasts have
been attended by many distinguished
men.
With former President Cleveland he
enjoyed many fishing excursions down
Buzzards Bay and along the brooks
of Bourne and Sandwich. '...-'~.
Joseph Jefferson was born in Phil
adelphia February 20, 1929, and was
looked upon as the dean OF the dra'
matte profession in this country. He
first appeared on the stage as child
and during his career has played in a
number of foreign countries. HIS
great reputation was made in rip
Van Winkle," which he played in
almost every city in the United States.
OF late years he had played but few
weeks of each season, and in almost
every one OF these short seasons con-
fined himself to the one character OF
Rip Van Wrinkle.
Joseph was also the name Of Mr..
Jefferson's father and grandfather
and all were actors. .~
&, In 1850 Mr.. Jefferson visited Cali
fornia, ,but abandoned that field TO-
Australia, where he spent a profitable
four years. London was visited
AGAINST his own inclination in 1865 and
at the Alephi theater he played RIP
Van Winkle" for a 150-nights' run. Al
ter appearing in some OF the larger
cities In England he returned to Ne"
York In 1866. Since 1867, he con
fined himself to q few favorite parts
Of which Rip Van Wrinkle was the
principle, one. Several months ago
Mr.. Jefferson retired from the stage.
and has since divided his time be-
tween Florida and Cape Cod. -:
