Dan Rice, Who Made Three Fortunes
and Gave Them Away.
The death of Dan Rice. which oc-
Cured at Long Branch recently in his
nth year. has removed a man who at
one time was the best known show
man in America and one of the wealth
lest.
Rices real name was Daniel McLarin
and he was born in New York. His
father nicknamed him Dan Rice. after
n famous Irish clown. In his early
years Dan peddled milk and then be-
came a stable boy and hack driver in
Pttsburg. He soon achieved prom
inence as the owner and exhibitor of a
learned pig and in 1874 settled in New
York. where he made his first appear
ance as n clown and negro song and
dance performer. In 1915 he travelled
with Howc's circus and bounded into
popularity in Philadelphia He next
travelled In Canada and in the South
and became member Of the DR.. Spa[

with this company he launched a show

sweet selr.Forgetrulness

The loss of personality! In that dread
thought there lies. to most Of us, all the
sting of death and the victory of the
grave. 1t seems, with that in store,
that immortality were futile and life
itself mockery, says the Atlantic
Monthly. Yet the idea, when dwelt
upon, assumes an aspect OF strange
familiarity; 1t is an old friend after all.
Can we deny that all our sweetest
hours were those or self-forgetfulness
The language of emotion, religious,
aesthetic, intellectually creative, .esti-
fies clearly to the fading Of the con-
seriousness of self. as feeling nears the
white heat. Not only In the speech
less stark immobility of the PATHOLOGY
cal "case," but In all the stages Of re-
liglous ecstasy. aesthetic pleasure and
creative inspiration Is to be traced
what we know as the loss of the feel
Ing of SELF
But not only the religious enthusiast
and the worshiper of beauty lose
themselves" In ecstasy. The fine
frenzy" of the thinker is typical. From
Archimedes, whose life paid the forfeit
of his impersonal absorption, from
Socrates musing in one spot from dawn
to dawn, to Newton and Goethe, there
is but one form of the highest effort to
penetrate and to create. Emerson Is
right in saying of the genius: His
greatness consists In the fullness In
which an ecstatic state is realized in
him.
