DEA tn OF B. F. ROBERTS,

The citizens Of Westbrook will be
panied to learn of the sudden death of
Mr.. Benjamin T. Roberts residing on
Main street, West End. Mr. Roberts is a
large fieshy man, and to all appearances
has been in good health up to the ti.ae of
his death. He has always been an active
man and Saturday he was seen about
Westbrook as usual at his place of busi-
ness, and in conversation with several of
his friends. In the evening he attended
the entertainment at the "Westbrook"
given under the auspices of the Universal
list society of which he is a member.
He returned to his home early and retired
about midnight. About one O'Clock his
son, Harry, conductor on the Westbrook
division OF the electric cars returned
home from his labors, and before retiring
entered his fathers room. His father was
awake at the time, but requested thatvthe
light which was on the table should be
e1tinguished. These were the last words
known to have been spoken by Mr..
Roberts. EARLY Sunday morning as a
member of the family went to call him
be was found to be dead in his bed, death
resulting from heart failure.
Mr.. Roberts was a man of 81 years. He
was born in Westbrook and has always
been an active citizen. He is the proprie-
tor of livery stable at the West End, be-
ing assisted By his son Arthur, who has
the general management of his business.
mr.. Roberts was a staunoh Republican
and has held various positions of respon-
slbility by the choice of his party. He has
served Westbrook as city marshal, and has
LOT two years been member Of the
board of overseers Of the poor, and was
reelected to the board this spring. He has
also been a member of the Republican
city committee. w
In church affairs he was much inter
ested in the work of the local Universalist
ohuroh, being one of the most generous
contributors to it's financial necessities.
Mr.. Roberts leaves two sons, Arthur
and Harry, and four daughters all mar
rled, Mrs. S. K. Reed and Mrs. Gardiner
d. Cobb of Deering, Mrs. Frank H.
Chase of Chicago, ILL.,, and Mrs. Percy
Walker of Portland.

CAROLUS DURAN ARRIVES.
Noted French Portrait Painter Who
Has Many PecuIiarities.

NEW YORK, March 21.-Among the pas
sengerS who arrived to-day on board the
French line steamer La Navarro, from
Havre, was Carolus Duran. the portrait
painter.
1t is reported that Mr.. Duran has come
to this country to paint the portraits
of American fashionables, for he is one of
the leading portrait painters OF Europe and
the best portrait painter in France. 1t is
believed that M. Duran will attract much
attention in America and especially in New
York, for he is not only the prince of por-
trait painters, but the prince of posers as
well. He is terribly given to affectation and
has such peculiarities of dress as make the
common people cape with wonder. He new
er combs his hair; that is, he combs it very
carefully in order to make it look as if he
never touched ii at all. His beard, on the
other hand. when he wears. one is labo-
riously twisted into two spikes. His studio
is one of the most remarkable places in
Paris, and it's occupant one of the most re-
markabe men. He is a sort of a French

some of the most noted portraits in Europe

Richard Mansfield, who will be seen as
Dick Dudgeon in 1.-THE DEVILS Disciple at
English's tonight, has the reputation for
working his companies harder than any
other manager in the world. Two rehear-
sails a day, even after the company is letter
perfect, is common thing with Mr.. Mans
field and when there is no longer any ex-
cuse for rehearsing the plays in his roper
tory, Mansfield will drag out of his trunk
a bunch of yellow books and put the COM
pany to work rehearsing some old play
which the great actor manager perhaps
never more than dreamed of producing. No
one ever suspected that Richard Mansfield
would put on 1.-THE Lady of Lyons" yet
there is a story about him having daily re-
hearsals in Lytton's play for three weeks
not so very long ago. Henry Jewett, one Of
the best young actors in the country re-
was previously with Mansfield several sea-
sons and became familiar with the thorough
methods of the great actor.
Mansfield is the hardest worker in the
profession" said Mr.. Jewett in detailing
one Of his experiences with the much dis
cussed star; The season Mr.. Mansfield
his very wits end to find play that would
be accepted by the public The company
was being, worked night and day in the
regular repertoire and finally when we
reached Philadelphia and everyone was
dead tired with rehearsing, which by this
time seemed to be useles, for there was. real
ly no benefit to be derived in entertaining,
the company was called for a rehearsal one
morning in The Lady of Lyons Everyone
was fiabbergasted. Many of the members
wanted to regard it as joke. What does
he want with Lady of Lyons?' they
asked.
wei, everybody showed up for rehear-
sal and Mr.. Mansfield was there with books
of the play, and the company cast for
the parts. We went in and rehearsed the
bloody Lady of Lyons for three weeks.
and no one ever had the slightest notion
that we would ever give the play
what part did Mansfield take, Pauline?'
''Bess your heart, no! He took nothing.
Mr.. Mansfield sat back and watched the
slaves work. He said we might have to
play a Wednesday matinee some day when
he would not be able to appear, and that
we should be up in some play and ready
for it. / have never been able to decide
whether Mansfield was in earnest or wheth-
err II was only a joke.

NEW YORK. March 2.-In his address at
the meeting of the Methodist preachers in
the Methodist Book Concern building here
to-day, Bishop J. M. Walden touched on
the Cuban question. He said in part: II
do not think the Latin race, with its present
ability, can govern itself. We don't want
Cuba. We want Hawaii, burt we don't want
Cuba. Suppose we discover that the Maine
was blown up? The question still remains
whether that is sufficient to cause us to go
to war Ca voice in the rear of the hall
Yes 1t is.O Autonomy for Cuba, l think,
would answer every purpose. 1t would
make Spain responsible. Meanwhile Cuba
would learn how to govern herself. l am
glad that we have such a level-headed man
as Mr.. Mckinley at Washington. 1t does
not hurt him bit either, that he is a Meth
responsible. / happen to know through
members of Mr.. McKinleys family that the
weight of the present responsibility rests
heavily upon him. He scarcely sleeps day
or night"

The Fay Foster Extravaganza Company
opened at the Empire yesterday, to stay all
week. The novelty of the bill is the act Of
Mile. Chenette, la Charmion of Roster &
Balls, New York. She appears IL an ordi-
nary appearing gown of salmon and green,
black gloves, an ooh, Lzerr' hat, shoes,
stockings, etc, and is hauled up to trapeze
in the customary way. where she removes
her gloves, waist, skirt corset, hat, stock
fngs, shoes, and-and-in short, all the
things a woman removes when she gets
home, but underneath there is conven-
tional circus-artiste garb Her work on
the trapeze is better than would be expect
ed. Couture Brothers. contortionsts and
acrobats, are a wonderfully graceful pair.
AL Maddox and Florence Beach give a
laughable turn that includes Maddox's ridic-
ulous imitation of a rooster with his head
off. Others in the olio are Stanley Whiting
in negro songs, including his own compost
ton, Syncopated Sandy Bernard Sisters,
singing and dancing soubrettes; Dot Lath-
rop, song and dance artistic, and West and
Williams, in a Sidewalk dialogue that
they give as if it were hard work The
afterpiece, Fun on Yacht" is remark
able for nothing but the extreme nastiness
of language and gesture INDUCED in by the
comedians" In that respect it shines.
