MANSFIELD IN THE VEIN.
Actor Can Be Lively When He Feels
 Like 1t.

The pecuiarities of Richard Mansfield's temperament make him little disposed to appear in society, and he holds aloof even from such actors clubs as the Players and the Lambs but to the few who know him he is, when he wishes to be, the live Hest of fun, says the Saturday evening Post.
 During his annual New York season, Mrs. Mansfield (who as Beatrice Gamer on used to be his leading lady) holds reg ular "evenings'' in their beautiful house, far up on Riverside drive, at which Mans field is often present. He seldom appears at his best until the hour becomes wee and small, and the company dwndles to a knot of intimates. Then, with little persuasion, he will sit down at the plano and ramble on, playing, singing and talk ing in the manner of his Prince Karl of long ago, his face, still rounded and boy ish wreathed in smiles.
 On one occasion he was giving a series of parodies of Parisian melodrama-the dark, ironic villain, the demonstrative mother and her child. The words of the songs that he improvised were French, and the chords with which he accompa- nied them were wonderfully reminiscent of popular Gallic sentiment.
 "Bravov' exclaimed one of his hearers. What a furore you would create in Parisv'
 It may be that the remark recalled to Mansfield the failure of his attempts to win recognition abroad as a tragedian. His face clouded, and became on the in stant long and austere. You know don't you?' he said, quitting the piano, this isn't my best line.'

IN THE BIRMINGHAM
 REAL ESTATE MARKET

Yesterday ended a week in the local real estate market in which there were very few deals involving amounts ex- ceeding $1O,OOO. The market showed about It's usual activity and the trading done was not confined to any special section of the city. The two deals for amounts ex- ] ceeding the s10.ooo mark were:
 John w. ONeill to Clarence Bucking- ham, lot 6 of block 94. Birmingham; con- sideration for which was $100oO.
 Ensley Realty company to the Ensley Land company, 241a acres on the Tuxedo l car line and Eighteenth street. Ensley, the consideration for which was a small amount over $15S50.
 1 The Phoenix club secured options on certain property located on Highland ave- nue near Twenty-frst street The price on this property was $13,500
 The past week in local building circles has been a fairly active one considering the unfavorable conditions that prevail at this season of the year. The building permits issued during the entire week call for an expenditure of $2O640. The most striking feature in building circles is the number of permits that have been issued for the erection of electric signs. There was not day during the past week that there was not at least one permit for the erection of an electric sign and on some days there were as many as three issued.
 Yesterday the local real estate market was featureless, there being no unusual activity noticeable and no deals closed in which large deals or large amounts of money were involved.
 The following is a list of real estate transfers for which papers were recorded in the probate clerks office yesterday:
 J. M Bradley to W. H. Tharpe, east F of lot of block 120, Birmingham, the consideration for which was 5000.
 Mary G. Morrison to T. H. Joy, lots 5, 6 and of block of Day and Ryan's ad- dtion to Ensley, the consideration for which was 5000.

DIR. ELDRIDGE's NEW BOOK.

DrEldridge's new novel. 'The Sin
bad Mines" a tale of the Rockies, in
book form, is now on the book stands
stands in this city for sale. The book
is handsomely printed from the Reed
Company presses in Denver, bound
in buckram and is altogether a very
creditable edition. The book con
iains 252 pages and those who have
read the tale say that II is an en-
trancing story, very creditable to DR..
Eldridge as an author.
No attempt will be made to review
the book until it is read and then due
consideration of the character of
same Will be given. Dr. Eldridge in
mis- own way has done much to at
tract attention to this entire section
of the west. His poems and his prose
writings have always breathed a
spirit of loyalth and love for the
western life, the life of the hills and
the mountains. He has ever been
ready to spend his money to bring be
fore the public the attractions of the
city and this valley as a health re-
sort and his literary efforts are com
mencing to be recognized by those
whom il is worth while to have their
good opinion.
DR.. Eldridge. with thousands of
others in literary life, will have little
honor in his own country. but worthy
effort is always recognized sooner or
later and 1t is the belief of the SEN
tinel that DIR. Eldridge. while he does
not crave it, will have lasting honor
in the minds and hearts of his fellow
citizens, in the years to come.

INDIANS HAVE BEST LANDS SAYS
COMMISSIONER HOWBERT.

The Hon. Irving Howbert, of Colo
RADIO Springs, who served as one of
the three commissioners appointed
to supervise the drawing for land in
the Uintah reservation. returned to
Colorado Springs from Provo We'd
nesday and the following interview
with the gentleman appeared in the
Colorado Springs Evening Telegraph:
There is much good land in the
reservation" said Mr.. Howbert this
morning, in speaking of the opening
but the Indians have been given the
first choice, so their allotments ex-
tend from one end to the other of
the reservation, wherever there is n
good section. There are many good
tracts to be taken up, but a person
should go to the reservation and
thoroughly look over the ground for
himself, as it is hard to understand
the topography of the country from
map, no matter how well drawn.
I'VE drew 5,772 names, a number
equal to the number of sections to
be given away. which left about 49,
GOO names remaining in the box.
These names will all be drawn and
the numbers sent to each person, so
that every one who registered will
know that his or her name was in
the box
Every person drawing a home
stead will be notified to appear at
Nernal on a certain day to secure his
allotment, and this should be done, if
the claim is wanted, as all further
rights to the land are waived if the
person notified fails to appear at the
proper time"
Mr.. Howbert is of the impression
that the provision of the general land
law regarding the committing of title
after fourteen months of actual res
idence, by the payment of SIPS per
acre, will be allowed in this case.
thereby avoiding the necessity of a
settler staying on the land the fun
five years prescribed by the statute.

A LONG JAIL SENTENCE
GIVEN WILLIAM GLEASON

William Gleason. who created a
great deal of excitement yesterday
afternoon by fourishing and firing
a pistol and resisting an officer at
the rooming house of Mrs. Katie
Smith. at 145 Rood avenue, was ar
raigned this morning before Justice
Byers for trial.
Officer Charles c. Knowles, who ar
rested Gleason, swort to a complaint
against the latter, charging him with
disturbing the peace.
Gleason spent the night in jail, and
this morning when he appeared in
court, he presented a sorry sight.
Both eyes were blackened, there was
a bad cut on the forehead, and many
minor cuts and bruises on his head
and face, evidences of his struggle
with the officer, he being determined
to resist arrest, but his resistance did
him no good.
Mrs. Katie Smith, who announced
some time ago that she had secured
a divorce from William Gleason in
the Salt Lake courts, and an an
nouncement of the divorce proceed
ings being published in the Salt Lake
papers, appeared in court, but not
as a prosecuting witness.
AT first Mrs. Smith seemed in
clined to deny that she and Gleason
were divorced. and Gleason in his
testimony claimed that she was his
wife and referred to her as such
However, at the conclusion of the
trial, Mrs. Smith desired to make q
statement that a divorce had been
secured by her.
Officer Knowles, City Marshal Wal
lace, Earl Frye, John Morris and a
little boy testified for the prosecu-
ton, while Gleason was the only wit
ness introduced for the defense.
Gleason admitted that he had been
drunk and had made threats. and
practically admitted that he was
Attorney Coles conducted the prose-
cution.
After hearing the evidence, Judge
Byers stated that. as the action of
the defendant had been most ag-
gravated case of assault, insomuch as
he had fired a revolver into the street
endangering the life of a man who
was passing, and made many threats
against his wife and others, and re-
sisted the officer, he deemed it ad-
visable to give Gleason a heavy SEN
tence. He then ordered that Gleason
be confined in the county Jail for a
period of 60 days.
In charge of Officer Knowles, Glea-
son was returned to jail and began
his sentence. Gleason has been in
trouble frequently and possesses a
very ugly disposition, especially when
under the influence of whiskey II is
the general opinion that the heavy
Jail sentence is well deserved.
