MRS. LESLIE IS DEAD.
Noted Publisher and Author . Victim
of Heart Disease.

New York, Sept. 19.-Mrs. Frank Les
lie (the Baroness de Bazus) died last
night in apartments in an uptown hotel
here. She was the widow Of Frank
Leslie, the publisher, who died In 1880.
and has herself since been romtnent
in the publishing world.
An acute attack of heart trouble was
the cause of Mrs. Leslie's death. She
had been an invalid from a slight
stroke of paralysis some time ago.
Mrs. Leslie, whose maiden name was
Myriam Florence Folline, was born at
New Orleans in 1851. Of an old French
Huguenot family. She was educated at
wide knowledge Of French, Spanish.
italian. German and Latin literature.
At the age of Is she began writing for
publication.
Subsequently she marred Frank Les
lie. the publisher. After the death Of
her husband in 1880. she succeeded to
his business. Strengthened out the at
fairs Of the Leslie publications and
made them financial successes.
In 1902 she sold her publishing inter-
ests and resumed the family name Of
the Baroness de Bazus. q French title
which was created in the time Of Louis
TX. and which had belonged to her an
cestors for many generations. OF late
years she had confined herself exclu-
sively to writing books and contribut-
ing TO european magazines.
In 1881, on the death Of her husband
who published Leslie's Weekly, Mrs.
Leslie took charge Of the project. She
had assumed to pay of an indebted
ness of his Of 100000. That she was
able to accomplish this with the aid
Of the illustrated magazine establishes
her as one Of the leading business wom-
en- Of America.
No woman in America outside the
White House was more talked about in
the early '90s. Part Of 1t was her busi-
ness prominence, on account Of her
husband, Willful Willie Wilde, who
wouldn't work.
Mrs. Leslie's first husband was
SQuier, the Peruvian Archaeological.
Their marriage was unhappy, and end
ed in divorce.
Then came Leslie, who died. After a
long period Of genuine mourning and
plucky hard work for his wife, a. padded
and painter curio, De Leuville appeared
On the right road to win the wealthy
widow, until Wilde came and married
her. He was twenty years the younger.
A curious combination of qualities
was Mrs. Leslie. Her passion was to
appear young, to startle the dowagers
by wearing huge jewels and decollete
dresses OF extreme frankness. She was
a big hearted creature who had the
misfortune to be born beautiful and
had her whole life warped by the la
mentable accident.

OUR EARLY PATHEINpERs.
Pioneer Work of La Verendrye and
His Gallant Band.

His Gallant Band.
The hrst white man to reach the
western sea" by crossing the North
American continent was Sieur Pierre
Gaultier de Varennes de la Verendrye,
whose expedition left Montreal June =.
1871. With half a hundred compan-
ions. including his three young sons.
the daring Frenchman set out from
the fort at Montreal and plunged into
the wilderness. intent upon discovering
that narrow sea which was supposed
to separate America and China.
During the months and years that
followed La Verendrye and his gallant
boys triumphed over multitude of
obstacles. Some Of his men were
massacred by hostile Indians, others
fell victims to disease, exposure and
accident, and mutinies were frequent.
After many hardships Lake Winnipeg
was reached, but La Verendrye was
disappointed in finding it large body
of fresh water, instead of the tabled
western sea.
AFTER thirteen years of effort the
expedition was turned back by the
impenetrable mountain Businesses.
But, although the main mission failed.
La Verendrye was the first white man
to reach the banks of the upper Mis-
souri, and Saskatchewan rivers and to
traverse what are now the prosperous
provinces Of Manitoba and Saskatche-
wan.
1t was not until 1893 that Alexander
Mackenzie. a Scotchman, penetrated
