FRANK LESLIE, ILL ALONG TIME, ISDEADIN HOTEL peene een Publisher’s Widow Made Re- miarkable Success of Crip- pled Business. Hl ‘The death of Mrs. Frank Lesiie, the Baroness de Baxus, has recoiled to many old New Yorkers the days when she was one of the shining lights in business and society. She died last night in her apartment in the Sher- man Square Hotel, Broadway and Beventieth street. Last spring sho suffered an attack of heart disease and went to Europe. Two months ago she returned only slightly improved. Soon there was another attack. Six weeks ago it became apparent that recovery was impossible, Among the relatives and friends who were with her when she breathed her last was Marguerite Linton Glentworth, the writer. The Baroness de Bazus, as Mra, Leslie preferred to be known, the title coming from her French Huguenot ancestors, wes Marian Florence Fol- Mne of New Orleans. She was cat home. When thirteen years old she began writing for publication, beginning a career as publisher, edi- tor, author and leader in society taht lasted until about fifteen years ago. Her father had taken great pains with her education, and she was especially proficient in French, Suanish, Italian, 2 | German and Latin. Mrs. Leslic’s first marriage wos at nineteen years of age to David Charles Peacock, a New York journalist. She obtained a divorce from him, and later married Ephraim George Squier, then @ noted publisher of newspapers, who later became aasociated with Heary Carter, universally known by hie pen name of Frank Leslie. They pub- shed a Whig paper in Connecticut, and the prosperity that followed them Jed to an estrangement between Mrs. | Squier and her husband. In 1870 she obtained a divorce and married Mr, ‘Lealie, and from that day his success ae publisher was marked.

She had changed a monthly publication to a weekly, which survives. Incidentally Mrs. Leslie had amassed | A @ fortune, but when she returned from Burope she found the business once more disorganised. Again she dem- onstrated her genius by taking per- eonal charge, and rehabilitating it. Such was her’ remarkable capacity for business, the circulation of the Popu- lar Monthly within four months after her return increased 200,000 copies, In 1902 she sold all of her publica- tion interests and abandoned the name of Frank Lesile, taking the title of Baroness de Bazus, one that Bad been'in the family since the time of St. Louis.
