a MORNING. THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. JULY 23, 1896. 5 orate stage dressing, which has since been developed to an extraordinary degree. In rapid succession she played such leading parts as Constance, in "The Love Chase;" Violante, in "The Wanderer;" Lady Amaranth, in "Wild Oats;" Lady Teazle, in "The School for Scandal;" Mrs.

Oakley, in "The Jealous Wife;" Lydia Languish. in "The Rivals;" Miss Hardcastle, in "She Stoops Conquer;" Pauline, in "The Lady of Lyons;" Marguerite, in the "Romance of a Poor Young and Lady Gay Spanker, in "London Assurance." Mrs. Hoey also became famous in the Shakespearean roles of Portia, Desdemona, Viola, Ophelia and Rosalind, in which last part she was the only woman up to that time who wore the boy's dr dress to the end of the play, discarding the elaborate wedding dress because, as she said, where would Orlando get such a gown in the woods of Arden?" Mrs. Hoey was the last of that famous old band of players known as the Wallack Stock Company, comprising such famous people as "Governor" Wallack, Lester Wallack, William Rufus Blake, "Dolly" Davenport, "Billy" Reynolds, John Brougham, John Dyott, Charles Walcott, John Sefton, William Sloan, John Gilbert, W. R.

Floyd, A. W. Young, Mrs. Vernon, Mary Gannon, Sarah Stevens and Mrs. Sefton.

Such a reliable newspaper as the New York Herald speaks of all these as having "gone before," forgetful of the that Charles Walcott, the one-time Philadelphia favorite, is still one of the leading members of Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Theatre Stock Company. Mrs. Hoey's last appearance was made in Wallack's Theatre April 20, 1864, as Lady Florence May, in Lester Wallack's famous old play of "Rosedale." That night Abe Van Benschoten, costumer of Wallack's, brought the carpet from the MRS. JOHN HOEY From a Photograph Taken 25 Years Ago. Seen and Heard In Many Places The passing away of Mrs.

John Hoey, in her 75th year, brings to mind reminiscenses of and actresses of years gone by actors, lustre upon the American stage prior to the period when it had broadened into the present skirt-dance epoch. Mrs. Hoey was a remarkable woman and the wife of a remarkable man. She was of English birth, her maiden name being Josephine Shaw. She came by her histrionic ability by father being a public a polyglot character, playing the violin, singing songs, acting simple sketches, giving a varied entertainment.

He was made bright in the school of rivalry, his chief competitor being the famous Charles Dibdin, the English song writer, noted for his verses that murmured of the ocean waves and author of Flowing Backstay" celebrated, aspthe and "Tom Bowling." Dibdin even wrote novels and about seventy operas and musical dramas. It was as his compeer that John Shaw first achieved fame. An elder brother of his, named David, had cone to this country and quickly won his way to the American heart by writing the song that many of you sing to-day, "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean." He settled in Baltimore, and by his advice a number of the members of his family, including Josephine Shaw, came to this country and began a starring tour in which they achieved success. Josephine Shaw quickly developed dramatic talent of a marked character. When she was a young girl she made her first appearance the stage in the Baltimore Museum -that was in 1843-in a one-act farce.

There she played with such subsequently eminent people as Joseph Jefferson, John E. Owens and Mary Taylor. Shortly thereafter she enjoyed the distinction playing leading parts with Junius Brutus Booth, the father of the assassin of Lincoln, and the great Macready, whose rivalry of Edwin Forrest led to fatal riots in the city of New York. Among the dramatic biographers there appears to be a conflict of opinion as to when Josephine Shaw made her first theatrical appearance in this city. One states that she first faced the footlights in the Quaker City in the Walnut Street Theatre in 1857.

As a matter of fact, she first turned the heads of Philadelphians in Peale's Museum after concluding her Baltimore engagement, and there she remained for two seasons, following which she made her metropolitan debut in Purdy's National Theatre, in New York, in the "Naiad Queen," in which dramatic presentation Charlotte Cushman played the title role. While in Baltimore Josephine Shaw had met and married William H. Russell, an actor--rather a member of the dramatic profession. The union was not a happy one, although it led to the birth of several children, and later the young English girl secured a divorce on the plea of desertion. It was as Mrs.

Russell that she first dazzled New York. Her success attracted the attention of the veteran manager and comedian, William F. Burton, who immediately secured her for his Chambers street theatre, now the site of the American News Company's establishment. This was practically the beginning of Mrs. Russell's theatrical career, her first appearance being as Edith Dombey in Burton's own dramatization of "Dombey Son," Burton playing Cuttle, Mrs.

Burton Florence Dombey and Chas. T. Parsloe Bob the Grinder. At a rehearsal Burton asked Mrs. Russell to come to his office and asked her to read the novel of "Dombey Son," saying, "My dear girl, don't attempt to play the part without reading the book," and then and there handed her a copy with the chapters relating to Edith Dombey well dog-eared.

After two recalls in her great scene with Carker in the French inn, Burton met Mrs. Russell in the wings, and, warmly shaking her by the hand, said, "Where would you have been if you hadn't read the book?" "Mr. she replied, "I haven't had time to even open the book." This was quite characteristic of the originality and power of this famous woman. After her divorce and while still playing at Burton's Theatre, Mrs. Russell met a young man named John Hoey, who was connected with the Adams Express Company and who subsequently became president of that organization.

He had made remarkable progress in the rapid social circles of New York. Born in Ireland, coming to this country red-headed boy not yet in his teens, wheeling a barrow when the organization which subsequently bloomed into the Adams Express Company consisted of two men and a boy and two wheelbarrows, he had by thrift, energy and enterprise, developed into a recognized beau of the metropolis, sought after by fair women and brave men and looked up to by the millionaires of the leading American city. His eyes fell upon the leading woman at Burton's Theatre and shortly thereafter by marriage contract she became Mrs. John Hoey. She then left the stage for a period of three years.

James W. Wallack had at that time installed himself and stock company in Brougham's Lyceum, just below Broome street, in Broadway, laying the foundation for the success of Wallack's Theatre. Laura Keene was then James Wallack's leading lady, and at a moment's notice seceded from the company and went to Baltimore open a theatre of her own. In this emergency Lester Wallack went to Mrs. Hoey and made overtures for her re-entrance to the stage.

"Ask John," was Mrs. Hoey's reply, and after a long talk it was finally settled that Mrs. Hoey should again face the footlights as leading lady at Wallack's. Again Mrs. Hoey started upon a brilliant career.

Discarding old-fashioned methods, she introduced a fashion of elab- Handsome Colored Supplement of The limes is a Feature that has met with Instantaneous Success. LICENSES, MARRIAGES, DEATHS MARRIAGE LICENSES. Harry W. Arnold and Anna Bucher. Charles J.

Edward Mollenhauer, the oldtime leader of Wallack's Theatre, took his entire band up to Mrs. Hoey's house for a last serenade. Apart from her histrionic ability, Mrs. Hoey was a most remarkable and lovable woman, with ever "a tear for pity and a hand open as day for melting charity. She honored her sex art of which she was an exponent, and the uncovered heads that will be bowed reverently beside her tomb will do honor to a woman of whom two countries may be proud.

MEGARGEE. SIXTEEN TO ONE How Various Interests Would be Affected by Free Coinage-As to Prices. From the New York Herald. The question is asked, Why should not a silver dollar under free coinage buy as much as it does now? Because there is only a limited number of silver dollars now in existence and the government is able to keep equivalent to gold dollars. But all there world were permitted to bring silver to the mints and get a silver dollar for every grains of It the government could not keep this unlimited number of dollars at a parity, and, like those of Mexico, they would have to circulate at the value of the bullion they contain, and this at the present price of silver is about fifty-three cents.

How It WIll Affect the People. From the Chicago Times-Herald. There are 4,000,000 persons in this country engaged in domestic employment. Free coinage of silver will raise the price of flour from $4 a barrel to $8 a barrel, but it will not increase the wages of these 4,000,000. The effect upon them will be that they will have to be content with buying half a barrel of flour, where, hitherto, they have bought a whole barrel.

Free coinage of silver, let us admit, will double the price of pork, but these 4,000,000 will have to be content with eating half as much pork as they eat now. Free coinage of silver may double, as its advocates promise, the price of butter. These 4,000,000 will have to eat half as much butter as they do now, or be content with unbuttered bread. How It Will Affect Money Mailers. From the Boston Transcript, Voters of foreign birth will do well to remember that among them are many men and women who are in the habit of regularly sending money to the old folks across the sea.

Under the present monetary system the wage-worker receives his pay on a gold basis, and his dollar sent from here is a dollar there, too. But with free silver his dollar over there would be only fifty-three cents and he would therefore have to take nearly two dollars to pay one dollar in gold bills of exchange. In other words, a remittance of ten dollars would cost the sender twenty dollars. The Pensioner's Dollar. From the New York Times.

If the policy of the Bryan platform and party should be made effective by the legislation which Bryan and his followers demand, every dollar thereafter received by a pensioner would be worth only cents. It would be called a dollar, but in the purchase of a pensioner's supplies it would go only so far as fifty-three cents go now. The buying power of the pensioner's monthly allowance, like that of the depositor's money still to be paid out of the savings bank and the value of the policies to be paid by life insurance companies, would be reduced by nearly one-half. How Insurance Will Feel It. From the New York Tribune.

The Chicago platform means that the savings banks and Insurance companies may pay Afty-three cents to every poor man who has a claim upon them. The St. Louis platform means that, as now, under the existing gold standard, every dollar which the laborer receives for his work. the farmer receives for his wheat, and the thrifty man pays for insurance or puts in the bank, is worth 100 cents, 80 shall every dollar received or paid out by them in the future be worth 100 cents in every market in the world. Every man who wishes to do justice and to receive justime must vote for McKinley.

It Will Hit the Workingman. From the Chicago Tribune. Every workingman who Is "looking out for No. 1" will be against free silver. It will hit his employer, and It will hit him.

The former will not have the money with which to pay wages as good as those paid now, and therefore, no matter how hard the workingmen fight, and how often they go out on strikes, they will not be able to command free silver wages which will buy as much as the gold wages they get now.
