Richard Mansfield, the actor. in order,
perhaps, to be something in common
with the young Duke Of Marlborough,
disregards the provisions of New York
park ordinance with the result that he is
mulcted in the sum of SO in a police
court. An incident of the affair was the
designation of the arresting officer by
Mansfield as jackass, greatly to the
distress and indignation of the cop"
In view of some other things New York
policemen have been called, with good
show of reason, the aggrieved peace
guardian ought to have considered him
self lucky to escape with so mild an
appellation. Another feature Of the
affair is the securing by Mansfield Of
about $1,000 worth Of advertising for the
beggarly sum of $40.

1t has been announced on pretty good
Republican authority that the Canton
Clam will open himself on the stump
during the campaign with frequency
and fiuency, or as much f1uency as man
wearing a Hanna tongue break can be
expect to have. Among the majors
accoutrements will probably be the lat
est thing in cyclone cellars; he will need
something of the kind when he gets out
into the open in the way of the Ne
braska Zephyr at the head of the Demo-
cratic ticket.

the recent sale of eighty eight lots of
