His Conduct Strange.

For some years the distinguished ac.
tor has manifested such pronounced
peculiarities that many have not hesi-
tated to question his sanity. For in
stance, he absolutely refused to recog-
nize any other member of his company,
never addressing a word to them out
side his lines. He travelled in a pri
vate car and der.lnded that it be
switched outside of the city in which
he was acting after the performance.
He caused managers no end of vexa-
ton by demanding certain peculiar con-
ditiOns and thousands of dollars were
annually subtracted from the profits of
the houses in which he appeared to
carry out his wishes. Mr.. Mansfield's
last appearance in the three cities was
