 tified by Relative.

Philadelphia, Nov. 26.-The actress who committed suicide in a hotel here Monday night was today identified as Elizabeth Poritz of 4404 Thirteenth avenue. Brooklyn. N. Y. The identi- fcation was made by Oscar Friedman, a relative. who said the girl has been on the stage since she was 13 years old. The last time her relative had seen her, Friedman said, she had in her possession about $S,000 worth of jeWe1ry. She wore about $2,000 worth of jewelry when she ended her life
 The young woman, who was about 22 years old, registered at a hotel un- der the name of Betty Daley. She was also known as Maida Dupree. Before ending her life with poison she left a note for George Le Maire, an actor now appearing in this city. Le Maire in a statement to the coroner said the girl had been a failure as an actress. He denied she had been infatuated with him After identifying the girl, Fried man, who is her brother in Jaw. said she ran away from home when she was 13 years old to go on the stage. Some years ago she married a rich furnf- ture manufacturer of Chicago. he add ed, but the footIghts called her and she returned to the stage. This caused her husband to obtain a divorce Fried man said.

things I know you have and these are basis for the thankful spirit. First. You have fine muscular strength and vigorous physical health, otherwise you could not do the heavy work which this foundry involves. Many a time 1 have been impressed with your fine muscular development, so much so that I feel that 1 must be careful about what I say. Of course, I do not mean to say that physical strength is your only stock In trade, but what would you be worth without it as a workman in this trade? Would you exchange places with the man of large fortune who never sees a well day? If 8 man ought to be thankful for having a bank account, he ought to be more thankful for good strong digestion.
 Common Needs Supplied.
 Again, you have the means of sus- tenance. You have enough to eat and drink; you have raimentSand shelter to meet bodily requirements. You have also the opportunity for meeting these common needs. Of course, it is easy to see that work in this foundry is slack, fewer men are at work than at this season last year. To carry out my metaphor, there has been a mild shaking up, yet more than gleaning grapes are left on the topTnost branch es. 1t may be that your surplus is not large. Perhaps the way is not clear for Tefurnishinge the parlor. buying a new kitchen range, or piano, or painting the house. All this is desira- ble, but secondary in importance; they are things that can be put off, for a while. at least but food, clothing, shel- ter are imperative The simple life is not extravagant in it's demands, but just beyond it's boundary luxury en- terS which is always expensive when measured by the toll it exacts. The steam yacht and six cylinder Packard are always paid for in more ways than one.
 Blessing of Education.
 Once again, you have had the op- portunity of doing for your family It may be that the family pocketbook has had such a shaking up that with the gleanlng grapes you have not been able to send your families to Europe, but what is vastly more important you have been able-those of you who have families-to send the children to school. I believe that here is com mon blessing we fail to appreciate at its true value. Science tells us that we may be so rear to an object as not to see it. Now the crowning feature of our free institutions is their insist ence on giving the child the rudiments of an education. We have been so ac- customed to this great blessing all our lives that we fail to give it it's real inn portance. Do not all these blessings give us the basis of the thankful spirit? I trust that you will fully enjoy the good old New England festival on the morrow, and that you will thank the bounteous Giyer

In the after noon the president may take turn on the golf links. if the weather is favorable.
