complete satisfaction with the prog.

a few accessions to their ranks from

all the business of the day is being
handled. The contest seems to have
settled down to one of endurance.

PRINCES SHIP IS ROBBED.
Souvenir Hunters Take Away Many
Fine Relics.

Prince Wilhelm Of Sweden put in
his customary busy day in New York
in spite of the fact that it was Sun
day. He attended religious services
on board the Swedish cruiser Fylgia,
entertained a small party of friends
at luncheon on board the ship, was
almost mobbed by the crowd when he
came ashore, motored through Central
park, and gave a small dinner at the
Hotel Astor.
Sunday was reception day aboard
the cruiser, and following the custom
established when the Duke of Abruzza,
Italian, visited New York, it seemed
that every visitor wanted to carry
away a souvenir. Glasses. dishes,
sailors caps and officers sword scab-
bards-in fact, practically everything
lying loose was taken. One enthusiast
tic hunter even carried away the
b%reechblock latch of the big gun in the
forward latch.
1t is estimated that 10000 people
visited the cruiser and while the
chief engineer believes his engines
are still intact, the weight of articles
taken by relic hunters was almost
enough to make a change in the re
gistered displacement of the ship.

SUMMER HOME.

and Mr.. Hyde-Home Life Ideal
Funeral Last Monday.

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 a speciality 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 a clerk in a 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
IN the American stage was in 1882
in New York. In January, 1888, he
won a striking success as Baron
Chevrial in "a Partisan Romance" at
the Union Square theater. This was
followed by a 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." 1.-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 Mansield'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, a funeral procession was
formed for the burial place in Gardner
cemetery, which is across the street
from the Mansfield home. The hon
orary p~allbearers were Commander
John Parker, U. S. N, Webster Jew
cit, Robert Appleton, B. D. Stevens.

mo- capltaI PeopIe Present.


The visitors galleries of both the
house and the senate are filled from
day to day during congressional SEES
sions almost exclusively by visitors
of the Washington excursionist type
A veteran Washington correspondent
familiar with the restraint which en-
ables the Westinghouse to remain
away from the galleries of congress
won a little bet from a new cores
pondent while ago.
He surveyed the crowd of persons
in the gallery alongside the press gal
lery of the house, and then he OBJ
served to the new correspondent that
there probably wasn't solitary resi-
dent of Washington in the gallery
The new correspondent regarded that
proposition as beyond belief. The lit
tie bet was made.
The doorkeeper of the visitors gal
lery politely inquired of all of the PEG
ple-124-as they passed out upon the
adjournment if they were Washing
tonians. There were no Washington
ians in the crowd and the old-time cor
respondent easily took down the bet.

Required Caution,

A newly appointed assistant secre-

at Washington was worried over the
immense labor Of signing his name to
letters and documents he could ex-
anime only in the most superficial
way At first he tried to read every
thing, but soon found that impossible,
and learned to rely on his subordi-
mates, who prepared the routine mat
tiers for him, they calling his attention
only to such papers as they knew be

One busy day clerk laid a pager
on his desk which he signed without
looking at it.
That's voucher warned the man.
Don't you want to examine it,"
''Heavens!" shouted the assistant
secretary. "Give it back to me! I
didn't know it was a voucher. |

Prevention of Disease.

Edward E. Heild divides communi-
cable diseases into two classes-those
caused by animal parasites, and those
caused by bacteria. It is necessary
to class under the head of bacterial
diseases many whose specific germs
have not yet been isolated, but whose
symptoms and course so closely re-
semble this class as to prevent their
being grouped elsewhere. The writer
calls attention to milk as being fruit
full source of infection in a number of
the communicable diseases. The most
careful attention should be given to
the milk supply. Flies are carriers of
infection; so are deas, bedbugs, and
so on. Such insects should be exc1ud-
ed from houses as far as possible In
regard to epidemics, public gatherings
should be prevented during these
scourges. Schools should be carefully
watched for communicable diseases
In epidemics of cholera, plague or vel
low fever the federal government
should take charge Of all cases and
be given the authority to stamp out
the disease and to regulate travel
