bore the indignity as long as he co AID,
but his flesh was weak, You see he was
born In England and educated at Rug
by. There is nothing so insulting to
people who are born in England and
educated at Rugby as to be addressed
with mr." Mansfield is most partic-
ular on all points of social etiquette.
He would sooner die than not be the
thing, and as he hasn't the least lnten-
ton Of dying just yet, he meekly limited
to Mr.. Frohman that in future he would
prefer to be addressed as Richard
Mansfield, Esq" The manager was very
busy when Manshelds instructions ar
rived. He paid no attention to them,
and sent off another letter addressed to
"Mr Richard Mansfield" That was
the last straw that broke the camels
back. Mansfield insists on being
esquired. He will submit to a great
deal. He will tolerate manager who
doesn't know how to handle single
eyeglass. He will endure the presence
of a man who has been no nearer Lon
don than the Cunard dock, and 1t Is
even said that he undertook to allow
the Slocums the privilege OF not turn
ing up their trousers when cables from
London annouced that it was raining
there. There is a limit to all things,
however, and Mansfield will never
brook being Mustered. 1t Is a breach
of good form for which there Is no com
pensation, and 100000 a year will not
begin to pay for such grievance. Dill
bingham knows the actors foibles, and
has more time to attend to them than
his seventy-two-hour predecessor. He
cannot afford to pay Mansfield 100000
year, but he can afford to write letters
twice every hour Of every day Of every
year addressed to Richard Mansfield,
Esq" It will be hard work, but it will
be hard work that will reap fine re-
ward. / wish the young man hearty
and continuous good luck.
1t seems unlikely that the new Gil,
bert & Sullivan opera, "The Grand
Duke, or the Statutory Duel" will be
produced in America. Francis Wilson
had man in London to see it, and was
very speedily satisfied that there was
nothing in it for him. There have
been plenty Of letters between New
York and London anent this opera, but
not the least inducement to present it
has been held out to New Workers. 1t
is a hopeless failure. Gilbert & Sulli-
van have lost their dual cunning and
we may never hear from them again.

The Teachers at Red Star Academy.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The Teachers Association met at
the Red Star Academy, April IL,
1896. The President, Sidney j.
Derrick, being absent, Vice President
S. S. Linder, called the meeting to
order, which was opened with prayer
by S. R. Bridges of the Leesville
college. An address of welcome was
made by Enoch Hite and this was
responded to by S. S. Lindler.
This meeting may be truly called
a substitute affair, as there was not
one present of those who We're ap'
pointed on the program to lead in
the discussions. The program was
adhered to and all members present
manifested a lively interest in the
discussion of the different subjects.
The President appointed the follow.
ing to lead.

cessful meetings that the ASSOCIATE; II

Of this section gave us a welcon Q
that showed their true appreciation
of our presence. The mothers and
fathers left their cares of home and
assembled to enjoy meeting with the
teaching profession of this county.
The little ones, too, were brought and
their presence reminded Us of our
daily associations and the important
work which lies before US in the
interest Of growing humanity.
