Richard MansfieId's Plans.

In a recent interview Richard
Mansfield announced that he would
retire from the stage after three
more seasons. When asked as if
he had formed any plans as to his
repertoire, he said: In a large
indefinite way. There will be no
receding from present standards
and no going over of hard work.
The present repertoire will be
retained in full. It has not been
decided what will be revived from
my former success except Cyrano
de Bergerac. There are two
Shakespearean characters which
have long been within the ken of
my ambition. They are Macbeth
and Falstaff. These will be added
to the repertoire. "
DO you remember the board
ing school days when you chalked
off the days until vacation? That S
my frame of mind. 1t seems as if
there couldn't be years enough
for all the jolly times we have
planned. For one thing, Mrs.
Mansfield and I are going on
our honeymoon. We never had a
honeymoon. 1t is going to extend
around the world, and is going to
be indefinite.
The thing to do would be- to
charter a vessel large enough to
hold our productions, take along

our leading artists, and cruise away
in the good old fashion. There
would be no route, no contracts,
no shackles of and kind. If, when
we touched in a port, there was a
desire to see us, why we would
play for the good people. If they
wanted more, they should have it;
and if they didn't then unfurI the
sails, up with the anchor, and off
we'd go. l fancy we should have
fine time. How would you like
to go along?
In some port where we would
steal in unanrounced, instead of
Richard Mansfield, we could an
nounce some other actor, but l
would act, and it would be interest
ing to see if the critics would dis
cover me. If we got far enough
away from the waters poliCed by
the powers, we might run up the
black flag and turn pirates. That
would appeal to my little boy.
There's a lot that is good and
beautiful and simple in life, 1
don't mean piracy-beckoning to
US all the time. While l have
health aud strength I want a share
of it. Texas Tit Bits.

The Rev. n. Boynton was rails
ing the debt from the little church
at Georgetown, Me-, one summer
ten or twelve years ago. He asked
each member to give 81. Most of
the brothers and sisters were will
ing to give the amount, but one
old farmer was loath to part with
his mite. Meeting him one morn
ing on the wharf, the minister ask
ed him again for tie dollar.
Jump into the water and you
get it, - was the reply.
Without a word, and much to
the surprise of the farmer, the rev.
erend gentleman plunged into the
water, and when he scrambled up
on to the wharf the dollar was
handed to him amid the laughter
of the lookers-on.

THE ORGAN OF THE ORDER.
Editor and Manager J. c. AsOury
made a ha1tering report of the run
ming of the Odd Fellows Journal,
the organ of the order. He showed
that he had received from all sources
S26.466.S5, with the plant valued
az $4,000. The editor has shown
himself worthy of the honors bestow
ed upon him. and has made the
Journal felt throughout the country,
not only IN the interest Of the order
but that of the race in general.
The Grand Auditors report was
made through +. H. McKessack. with
Jared w. Ford. his associate. They
show that the books OF the different
grand officers were correctly Kept.
and that the finances were being
properly handled.
In the report they say the order
may we'll feel proud Of the officers
now in charge OF affairs. and they
were pleased 70 fni the order in
such good condition. They found
the valuation Of the order TO be
500, 691.9S. showing that the phe-
nomenal growth of the order is in
spring TO its great membership.
