Florence, following in the footsteps of bis illustrious actor-colleague, Joseph Jefferson, is about publishing his reminiscences; ratber bis memoirs, for what be has undertaken is a more ambitious task than the preparation of a lew magazine arti cles. The work will be a culmination of a long-delayed ambition. Tne genial come dian has dabbled in literature before. His collection of clever sketches entitled "Flor ence's Fables," enjoyed considerable popu larity and some of his magazine articles, notably "Leaves from a Burglar's Diary," exhibited a rare sense ot artistic humor. For years Florence, moved by the solicita tions of bis friends, has been desirous of publishing the memoirs of his life, and at last he has secured a publisher. He has a wonderful collection of scrap books, which contain almost everything which ha. been printed concerning him, and these have proved valuable reminders to a naturally excellent memory. In addition be has a great number of autograph letters from prominent people the world over. The book will be deliciously rich in amnsing stage reminiscenses, a large part ol which bave already been prepared. IN CHARGE OF A GERMAN BAND. Florence first had a speaking part on the Etage 42 years ago. when he was engaged in 2few York by Manager Sefton to go to Richmond as a very minor member of a company. In those days theaters didn't ' have orchestras connected with them, and managers, when they visited towns, had to take chances of picking up musicians who Inew enough to play the nddle"and clarionet. Sefton proposed playing a long engagement W. J. Florence. As the comedian looked 40 years ago. in Itichmond, and determined to try the novel experiment of taking an orchestra with him. He secured a number of recently arrived German immigrants who had some knowledge of music and formed them into a band. As it would have been rather ex pensive to send them to Richmond by rail be secured passage for them on a sailing vessel, the Margaretta, bound from New York to the Virginia capital. They were placed in charge of young Florence, and tnat youth was ordered to accompany them on the voyace. The Margaretta weighed anchor one day In 1648, but had not proceeded far when it was discovered that through someone's blunder there was no cook aboard. The vessel was off Staple ton, Staten Island then, and a boat put ashore in order that some one might be bunted up to manage matters in the galley. The German immi grants became famished and broke open the beads of barrels of apples that formed part of the cargo and made the fruit disappear in a most alarming manner. Florence began to fear lest these voracious musicians might want to teed upon bim, so insatiable ap peared their hunger, when the boat returned with a man who professed to be acquainted with all the mysteries of marine cooking. HIS INTEODDCTION TO DUFF. Then, and even now, the most welcome disb that could be placed upon a cabin table was "duff." This is somewhat similar to what children call "roly-poly." It is a combination of dough and butter put in cylindrical shape; a sort of apple dump ling without the apple. The Captain of the Margaretta was a firm believer in "duff." To his mind all culinary ability centered around a cook's skill in preparing it. A man might be able to cook everything else in a most enticing way, but if he failed in "duff" he could not remain master of the Margaretta's galley. The first meal that the newly-secured cook prepared had "duff" as the piece de resistance. When the dish was placed be fore the Captain he ordered the cook to stand by while judgment was passed upon it. The Captain raised a large knife aloft with an air of deep portent, while the rest of the company looked on with grave aspects. The blade descended slowly, and, with serious gesture, the Captain cut out a quarter section. He eyed the soggy mass lor a moment critically and then, picking it up with one hand and without saying a word he threw it with all his force at the bead of the hapless cook. The soft, warm mass struck him in one eve, and, with a wild yell of alarm, be fled. The Captain wanted to throw bim overboard, but was re strained. There was no more "duff" on that voyage, and the Captain consequently - wore an air of gloom. They got to Eich modd in safety, notwithstanding, and there Florence made his first appearance in a (peaking part. A UTILE LOVE ATFA1E. One incident which Florence will relate in hi. "Memoirs" occurred in New York many years ago when the old Broadwar Theater stood at Broadway and Ann streets. He was then a rosy-cheeked, round-ficed, big-limbed youngster of 18 and was con nected with the Broadway Theater's stock company as "first walkine gentleman." "I was, in fact," he says, "little more than a big, bashful boy and dreadfully afraid of the girls. Connected with the coturjanr was a young woman who was afterward well known to the Thespian world as Sallie but never mind what ner name was. Suffice it to say that at that time her father and brother were actors, and, at the present time, she has two or possibly three daughters upon the stage. She it long since dead and I was one of the pall-bearers at her funeral. Bhe w&s a most estimable girl. "I had several times acted as her escort from the theater to her home; my conversa tion during these journevs being somewhat Abbreviated by the (act that when beside the fair Sallie my tongue positively rerused to do my bidding. Upon oue memorable occa sion, however, being emboldened by the fact that I was the possessor of nearly 52. 1 de termined to invite my companion to snpper lifter the theater. .Never belore had I suffi cient audacity to make such a proposal to a jjirl. Appraring only in the early part of the performance, we left the theater shortly n ter 9 o'clock, and tben with deep blushing nnd much stammering, I succeeded in ask ing Sallie if she would not take supper with me. I need not tell you of these mod c rn days that Sallie promp'tly accepted. ONE OF THE EAELY RESTAURANTS. "At that time the institution that we now call a restaurant was unknown in the city of New York. When that term wjs first brought to tbi. country trom France the wits told the uninitiated that the term was derived from the Latin words res, a thing. And taurut,ti bull, and that it meant 'a bully thing,' But 40 years ago such place. E fooUteps of his illustrious actor-colleague, and-and-and-yes-and a lemonade.' " C-l tvy. I I 1 T C. t I. mTTT,r, ,t.,t j fimTniw Tl X TT X T 1 T nl r, i i I A I I K AT I .1 I did not exist and in their stead were 'eating nouses.' In New York these were all under ground In basements, and in most instance, were the continuations of bar rooms. One of the largest and most brilliant was under the Broadway Theater and wa. kept by a man named Shelley. At one end ot a very long bar room was a Beries of boxes, each provided with a small table and chairs, and in these meal, were provided. Into this basement Sallie and I descended and en sconsed ourselves in one of the small com partments. You all 1s.u?jr what the conver sation was likely to be between a bashful boy and a pretty girl when a meal was about to be ordered. " 'What will you have, Sallie?' I asked. " Oh. I don't know. What are you going to take?' " Ob, I don't know, Sallie. I like any thing vou like. , " 'Well. I think I'll take an oj.ter stew and-and-and-yes-and a lemonade.' " 'Well. Sallie, I'll take an oyster stew and a lemonade too. Here, waiter, two oyster stews and two lemonades.' AN ENTHUSIASTIC ESCORT. "Lemonade and oyster stewl Ye gods and HttU fishes, think of itl A waiter trom the 'ould dart' took the order, and as be wasabout turning away I, in the exuberance born of the success of my little scheme and inspired by the fairness of my companion, leaned across the table and kissed her. It was the v en. oaiiie. 1:11 xane an oyster sww MAiiwuaa wiiiJJNii,3iJAic anu OAiuftUAi. riTifi'' " -ri iin-'n i.n.qo.Ynii.riRcEH nar.R i 'i l I I iiiii iv iiii nrst time my lips had touched a maiden's cheek; it was a kiss a. tree trom evil as ever parent gave a child. An I sank back in my-seat I turned my bead, and at the entrance to the alcove saw tne waiter looking at me suspiciously. I blushed crimson. The waiter walked awav. Soon the two stew, and the two lemonades were forthcoming, and soon they were down going and soon they were gone. Then the waiter handed forth a check for a small amount, and I began to feel in my vest pockets for my money. What! Nol Yes! Horrorl Disgrace! Let the earth openl Alas, poor xnel I bad changed my vests in the dressing room, and did not have a penny with me. , "I dared not look at the fair Sallie. Ad dressing the waiter in faltering accents, I said: "I have no money with me, but I will be in to-morrow sure and pay you.' The man at once assumed a lordly mein. " "Ah, yez cawn't play no sech game here, an' then make a love shop out of this. Gev me the money,' be said. "The girl burst into tears. I patted one of her arms consolingly and begged her not to notice the brutality of the waiter, and then turning to that insolent individual said: 'Tell the proprietor to come here.' The proprietor came. I dared not say that I was connected with the Broadway Theater for fear that the story of my dilemma might leak out, and so I simply told Shelley that I did not intend to rob bim, but that, un fortunately, I had no money with me. The proprietor, I think, would have given me credit unhesitatingly but for the waiter in terjecting: 'Don't trust bim; lock him up. I saw him kiss the girl.' Shelley looked sternly at me. I promptly removed a ring I wear it yet from one ot my fingers and a watch ana chain from my vest. THE LAST RESORT. 'Take these, I said, somewhat huskily, I fear, my father gave them to me and I have never parted with them. I will come in to-morrow and redeem them. "The eating house keeper was extending one hand for these precious relics when a man suddenly emerged from the adjoining alcove and cried out peremptorily, 'Stop. All turned to look at this new actor in the scene. His hair was gray and luxuriant, and his white, patriarcbial beard covered his bosom. His attire betokened wealth and refinement. His clear, blue eyes blazed with indignation. 'And would you take that boy', watch and ring?" Shelley hung his head. 'I've heard all the conversation and I've listened to the insolence of that waiter, who should be im mediately discharged. These are good, in nocent young people, and I'll stand sponsor for their honesty. Here, take this note and deduct from it the amount ot their check.' "He banded the shame-faced proprietor a (20 bank note, received his change and walked from the place. Sallie and myself followed him, and when the sidewalk was reached I tapped my benefactor on the arm and paid: 'Please,, my dear sir. give me your name and address so that I can refund you the money that you so kindly loaned ine.' "The benevolent old gentleman (turned about, and without a smile and in the cool est manner imaginable said: 'That's all right, young feliow. You don't owe me anything. Yon see the note was a counter feit and the duffer below there gave niegood money for it He is not the first sucker I've caught. Good-bye!' "And that is the only time I ever acted as the unconscious contederate of a counter feiter." D. L. J. Catarrh Cared.
