ABSOLUTELY PURE

cess as the Baron Chevrial did not serve
with him as foundation for immediate
and continued prosperity as player as It
would have done in the cases OF great
many actors with whose stories the pub
lie is familiar.
1t was the opinion of some managers.
and this statement will be read with some
surprise in the light of subsequent his
tory, that Mr.. Mansfield was essentially
one-part actor and would never again
make such a hit as he made rs the Baron
Chevriai. Under these circumstances he
began travelling through the country In
"A Partisan Romance" under inexperi-
enced management and with the not sur
prising outcome that the tour was a failure.
Four years later Mr.. Mansfield was play
ing the low-comedy part of koko in pro-
duction of 1.-The Mikado" at the Globe
thrater, Boston, and his performance was
notable one to the last degree. Two
years later he was playing in London at
the Lyceum theater-the London theatre
cal home of Henry 1rving-and was occu-
pying the stage there during Mr.. Irving's
absence. at Mr.. Irving's express invitation,
& distinction, and it may be legltimately
regarded as such. that Mr.. Mansfield
shares with one other American player,
Mary Anderson, and he was playing with
his own company and under his own man
agement. On his return TO America he
p aged q successful engagement at the
Boston museum. producing there for the
first time prince Karl" which, after his
engagement IN Boston, he presented in
New York. at the Madison Square theater.
This was the beginning of Mr.. Mans
fields later career, with the details OF
which the theater-gong public are pretty
intimately acquainted. 1t was then that
he first doomed up as conspicuous figure
in American dramatic art and took the
place to which his earneS tness and stead
fastness of purpose and his strong and
somewhat rugged personality unquestion-
ably entitled him.
The next season he came back to the
Madison Square theater, appearing there
throughout the summer, and added to his
repertoire the little play monsieur,
written by himself, and later on 'Dr. Jek-
yl and Mr.. Hyde" which was received
with unbounded favor by the public.
Richard I'LL" was given great pro-
duction by him in London in the winter of
1SSs-S9, and was wonderful success there,
but he never received the credit for it that
both he and his friends naturally ex-
pected that he would. Mr.. Mansheld'5
place in the estimation OF the public today
has been won, because they recognize his
wonderfully varied talents as q player, the
conscientious work he has done in putting
on plays that were far and away removed
from the conventional, and because of the
artistic purpose that has illumned every
production that he has attempted.
Mr.. Mansfield will present Beau Brum-
nell" on Thursday evening "a Partisan
Romance" Friday and Prince Karl' will
close the engagement.

improvements in Long Distance Teie-
phones-Inductiona and balancing.


TACOMA. May 2t.-fSpecial. lin build
Ing the new telephone line from Seattle to
Portland induction is to be reduced tn the
minimum by metallic copper circuit.
There will be no ground connections, the
copper wire to be used passing in a con-
tinuous circuit from Seattle to Portland
Tacoma and other intermediate offices will
be cut in on both sides OF this circuit, that
Is. they will not be "looped in" on a single
wire as is cUsto mary, but will be con-
nected by wire running from one of the
through wires, passing through the way
office and back To connect with the other
through wire. BY this arrangement the
way Office will have continuous circuits
with Offices on both sides. With q copper
circuit it is expected that conversation can
be carried on in whispers between Seattle
and Portland. In this vicinity at present
way offices are connected with the trunk
lines of the Sunset Telephone Company's
system by a single wire. which is
grounded or connected with the earth
Mt each branch office In order to do this
successfully the battery used must be
carefully balanced" so as not to over
load one office to the detriment of all.
Each must have its exact proportion or
else all will refuse to work.
''The other day" said Manager Sands,
of the Sunset Telephone Company of this
city, 1--WE could not ring up Seattle, or
anybody IN fact, with any satisfaction. A
careful investigation proved that We had
lost our balance through wire being
grounded near Slaughter. This ground
operated against all the other grounds, il
being direct and there being no resistance
or mechanism as at the offices where the
usual ground connections are made. More
recently piece of wire, no bigger than
thread. fell upon the connections which
sold the bells on the telephone This was
at the Steilacoom asylum. The little
thread unbalanced things and puzzled us
until lineman from this city, after travel
ing over every inch of the line, found it,
The bit of thread made a short
circuit through the asylum telephone
We knew the trouble was on the Stella
COON branch when the lineman found that
the balance of the line worked after he
''cut OFF, Steilacoom at Lake View. Lines
work differently in different parts of the
country. Principles that will answer here
will fail in California"
At present there is no known insulator
that will do away with induction. An in
sulator which will do this is worth several
princely fortunes. I'VE have" Manager
Sand says. Overcome induction on our
Centralia-Chehalis lines by parallelinc
wires and crossing them at intervals; thus
one wire overcomes the induction of, or
balances the other"
The new copper circuit will be ready for
operation between Tacoma and Seattle to-
morrow or next day.
