DEATH OF
MANSFIELD
ACTOR OF THE
LAND is NO MORE.
MADE A GREAT SUCCESS OF
PLAYS WRITTEN BY
SHAKESPEARE.

New London, Conn.-Richard Mans
field, the actor, died recently at his
summer residence, Seven Oaks.
Richard Mansfield has for several
years been recognized as one Of the
leading actors on the American stage,
making specially of Shakespeare, al
though appearing at times in lighter
dramas and comedies. He has sew.
eral times visited the Pacific coast
and intended another trip during the
coming season. He has been in poor
health for several months and his de-
mise was not unexpected.
Richard Mansfield was born on the
island of Helgoland, May "a, 1857. He
was the son of Madame Rudersdorff
(Mansfeld), the noted singer. He
was educated chiefly in Germany and
England and when about II years of
age came to Boston, Mass, where he
worked as clerk in drygoods store
and studied painting for a short time.
In 1875 he returned to England and
after several years of hard privation
engaged at length, with some success,
In comic opera. His first appearance
on the American stage was In 1882
in New York. In January, 1883, he
won a striking success as Baron
Chevrial in "A Partisan Romance" at
the Union Square theater. This was
followed by number of modern and
classic roles which within 10 years
gained him a leading place among
American actors.
Among the plays in which Mr.. Mans
field has appeared are: "Dr. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde" Richard Ill.," pro-
duced in London in 1899; Beau Brum-
NELL" ''The Scarlet Letter." "Shy-
lock-" arms and the Man." "The
Devils Discipline" "Cyrano de Ber-
gerac," Henry w." Monsieur Beau
caire" and as Brutus in Julius
Caesar"
Deep study and careful elaboration
of detail characterized Mansfeld's
work, both in comedy and tragedy. In
1892 Mansfield married Beatrice
Cameron.
Was Buried Monday.
New London. Conn.-All day Sun
day the body OF Richard Mansfield
lay in a coffin in the room in which
the actor died. Monday the funeral
services was held at IL o'clock. The
Rev. Alfred Poole Grant of st. James
Episcopal church conducted the SER
vice. By request there was no ad-
dress. The choir of st. James church
sang the hymn Lead, Kindly Light"
Following a brief period, during which
the features Of the dead actor were
viewed, funeral procession was
formed for the burial place in Gardner
cemetery, which is across the street
from the Mansfield home. The hon.
oraTy pallbearers were Commander
John Parker, U. s. N, Webster Jew
EFT, Robert Appleton, B. D. Stevens,
Roland Wilstach. Colonel A. c. Tyler,
Roland P. Measby and William P. Ap-
pleton.

Wright of Boston Saturday success
fully defended his title as international
champion. Scores, 81, Ga. 6-3.
Los Angeles is credited by its own
papers with having stolen ball game
from Portland in the Coast league
games the other day by tricky play
by Cravath. The latter was on third
with Brashear on second. Mott, Port
lands third baseman, tucked the ball
under his arm, thinking to fool GRAY
ath. The pitcher and Portland play
ers entered into the conspiracy and
fooled not only the umpire but also
the spectators.
But they didn't fool Cravath, who
with quick motion, jerked the ball
from under Motifs arm and threw it
into the bleachers while the umpires
back was turned. Both runners
scored. The umpire had not seen the
the play and let it go.
Iron Foot" Moullen, the crack drop
kicker of the University of Oregon
football squad last year. is not ex-

rette and Chandler having completed
their courses last June.

which will represent California in the

ROOSEVELT TO MAKE TOUR
Through the Middle West and Down
the River-Severai Speeches,

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept Ito
prepare half dozen addresses, each
to be read generally by a nation of
about 100000 people, to be deliver
ed from October 1 to 5, is the task to
which the president is now devoting
several hours of his time at night
from o'clock until bedtime. Besides
the half dozen speeches he will be
called on for as many more extern
peraneous talks.
The president is to terminate his
vacation with dash through the mid
die west and south. He will appear
first at Canton, Ohio. September 80.
At Keokuk, Iowa, Mr.. Roosevelt will
speak again, and while no intimation
has been made as to the character of
this address it is thought it will deal
with the problems of the day. At
this place the president will begin his
cruise of the Mississippi aboard a
steamer bearing the rivers name.
Steamboat travel gives no opportunity
for platform talks and handshakes
with eager people, but 1t has been in
dicated that many persons will line
river banks just for glimpse of the
president as he floats by.
The river trip will be punctuated
with functions at st. Louis, where an
another speech will be delivered, at
Cairo and at Memphis, where the
cruise will end. On the way back
to Washington by train there are indi-
cations that the president will yield
to opportunities which are coming
to him for more talks. and that he
will speak to the people of Nashville
and Chattanooga or some other sell
ected point.

QUEBEC
BRIDGE
FELL IN ST. LAWRENCE
RIVER, SATURDAY.
NEARLY 80 MEN WERE CARRIED
DOWN TO A WATERY
GRAVE,

Quebec-The Quebec bridge fell in
to the st. Lawrence river. Three
score bridge workers are still held in
of the river. At roll call Saturday aft
ernoon 70 men failed to answer to their
names and were not among the in
jured at the hospital. Fifteen bodies
are at the morgue. OF the total 70
dead or missing 16 are skilled Ameri-
can mechanics. Some bodies can be
seen below the surface, tightly wedged
in the mass of steel.
The terrific height of the great steel
structure from 1870 feet above the sur
face of the river crushed the bodies
of many of the workmen in a fright
full manner, and 1t is feared many will
never be found.
brought here by the Phoenix Bridge
company of Phoenixville, Pa, which
had the contract for the ironwork on
the bridge.
Rowboats were sent out to examine
the superstructure showing above the
water near the shore, to ascertain If
any of the wOrkmen were imprisoned
in the twisted ironwork. None were
found alive.
Just below the surface Of the water
two bodies were seen, but it will be
impossible to reach them until the tide
goes out.
Both the local and dominion authori.
ties have taken steps to investigate
the cause of the disaster, and If posi-
BILE to fix the responsibility.
Some of the workmen expressed the
belief that the pier gave way under the
tremendous strain of the overhanging
work. M. P. Davis of Ottawa, the con-
tractor who built the piers, made a
hasty examination last night, however.
and reported them to be in good con-
dition, although the steel superstruc-
ture had fallen upon them.
A locomotive and several freight
cars loaded with steel Orders were
moving out on the bridge just before
the structure collapsed. Engineer Jess
went into the river with his engine,
but was picked up 800 feet below the
bridge. Fireman Davis persisted.
Engineer Jess was removed to Lewis
Hospital, were he rapidly recovered
from the effects of his plunge into the
river.
According to his story, the steel
work overhanging the river was the
first to show signs Of weakness. At
the first signs Of danger Jess shut of
the steam, but his locomotive con-
tinued to move toward the end of the
bridge, which had begun to toter, and
a moment later the engine went into
the river.

fighting between the French forces
and Moors near the French camp the
Moors at first retreated, and it was
thought that the engagement was
