HIS FUNERAL MONDAY
Will be Buried in Little Plot

New London, Conn, Aug. SO.--After battling for months with an. illness which last spring forced him to leave the stage and go abroad in search of health, Richard Mansfield, one of the best known actors in this country, died at his summer home here this morning of disease of the liver, aggra- vated by complications. Last spring he was compelled to give up his en7 gagement at Scranton, Pa, after suf- fering @ nervous breakdown and went to England in the hope that 1t would benefit him. A short time ago he re- turned to this country and went to Ampersand. N. T., very recently com ing to his summer nome at Seven Oaks Ocean avenue, this place. He gradually failed, and in spite of every effort to prolong his life it was evil dent to the members of his family and attending physicians that he could not live long He became unconscious about 2 o'clock this morning and re- mained so until the time of his death at 6:30, Grouped at his bedside when the end came were his wife, his brother Felix and the physicians and nurses. His only child, Gibbs Mans field, was sleeping in an adjoining room and was not disturbed.
 Ills death marks the passing from the American stage of one who was regarded as the greatest exponent of Shskespearean drama fin this country,
 The funeral will take place on Mon day next from his late residence and interment will be in tn small burial plot directly opposite the Mansfield residence, and where lie already the former owners of the home.
 Rev. Alfred Poofo Grint, D. D., rec tor of St. James Episcopal church, will offieiate at the services which will be according to the Church of Eng land rites The pailbearers have not as yet been selected, but Colonel A, c. Tyler of this city, a friend of the de- ceased, has been mentioned as one.

 On Wednesday MT. Mansfield was out and around his garden, There have been reports that he was up town. This is incorrect, He never left his home from the time he arrived from Saranac lake. The undertakers who prepared Mir. Mansfield's body for burial said he looked good ex- cepting that his body was in an ema- ciated condition. due to his illness.

s  Blood showed when the resolution concerning the payment for compiiing the military enrolment list was preached. Messrs Homan, MeKerniss, and Nathenson presented q solid front contending that the question was not one to properly come before the board and they were opposed by every demo- crat in the hall. Hot debating resulted and after over-ruling the decision of the chair the matter was put to vote and it was decided to pay George P. Mccarthy, his list being declared the military enrolment for 1907. This pass- ed 10 to 9.
 Mccarthy Appointed.
 Immediately Alderman Burke moved that Mir Mccarthy be appointed mili- tary enrolment officer for 1908 which was greeted with laughter. It vast a joke, however. The chair ruled that it was out of order and could not prop erly be voted upon by the present board but objection to his ruling was made and sustained by the board. At this 1uncture the republicans threw up their hands in despair and lighting ci- gars abandoned the ship which was already sinking under the predominat- ing democratic weight Mccarthy was elected 10 to g, and on the resolution usually introduced after such an ap- pointment, the act was approved IS to 4.
 Alderman Woodford was elected to the tax committee as aldermanic mem- ber of that body to succeed Alderman Dickerman whose term has expired. !.

NEURosIs AMONG COOKS.
French Doctors Explain Their Fits
OF Temper on Party Days.


The capricousness. IN temper and
excitability Of cooks have been Tat.
the subject Of elaborate study by
several French alienists who have
come to the conclusion that .uey Are
the result OF special reurosis. The
general idea that they are due TO
sour old-maidhood will Lot hold at
all. they say, for men >OoNs are rs
bad as women aud the married as
bad as the single.
Drs. Durand- -Goron. Serth!cr and
Comot. who have made more or less
Independent Investigations. all arrive
at the same results. They consider
that the culinary neurosis should be
distinctly recognized By medical SCI
ence.
Besides the display OF obstinacy
and anger which seemingly start
without motive and proyocaLon
there are other symptoms OF the DIS
ease. One OF these is vertigo.
A great number OF cooks are sub
!ect to It. and in some Is developes
into eataleptic frances. Another
characteristic is loss OF appetite;
cooks are almost invariably small
eaters. This is associated generally
with nervous dyspepsia. often Of a
very aggravated type, which is not
due to overeating or injudicious eat
ing. but TO general breakdown OF he
nervous system.
That the displays OF caprice and
unprovoked anger are not due 10
malice Is inferred from the enor-
nous improbability that a whole
numerous class OF persons should be
affected with the same fault OF dis
position apart from the existence Of
cause affecting them all. This
cause is absolutely pathological it
is the culinary neurosis.
All the investigators agree that
the principal cause OF the malady is
the breathing OF carbonic acid. Dr..
Comot, who is a specialist on insan-
ity, says that persons exposed TO the
fumes of burning coal become in
sane with great frequency. Many OF
the women treated at the Salpetriere
he says attribute their malady 10
breathing coal gases.
DR.. Durand-Goron also places the
breathing OF coal gas first in the
list OF causes OF the neurosis OF
cooks, and he considers that the con-
stant exposure to great heat is a
strong secondary factor. To these
be adds several mental causes; the
sedentary life, the strain OF impor-
tant occasions entertainment OF
guests, when scandalous outbreaks
OF temper are so often noticed, these
being due really 10 overburdened
sense OF acknowledgements
from home and friends, and the cray-
ing for money which usually starts
in young women as an ambition to
get established in life through a
good marriage. but often degener-
ates into a mere miserly passion.

OPEN AIR PARLIANfENTS.
They still Meet Yearly in Switzer.
land on Sunday.

The open air parliament is an old
custom which still survives in some
OF the Swiss cantons. Appenzell has
two such bodies, one in the Roman
Catholic part of the canton. the other
in the Protestant end. Both meet
on the last Sunday in April.
The President is escorted into tho
open square facing the Rathaus or
town hall. In front Of the platform
where he takes his place the bur-
ghers stand bareheaded. They take
an oath to vote "for the good Of the
land and the avoidance Of evil"
The members OF the cantonal 60
vernment are elected by a show OF
hands. Then follow discussions
about roads and various new regula-
tions. The proceedings are orderly
and dignified. not unworthy the set
ting Of the picture. which Is made BY
the encircling mountains.
The Glarner parliament meets
annually on the first Sunday in May.
Canton Glarus. too, has had its reli-
gious wars. But in this district the
two religions did not separate as in
other places. It was agreed by con-
tract In 1873 that each denomina-
ton should have a separate govern
ment, but with common open air
parliament
Perhaps In no town In the world,
says the Review Of Reviews, do Pro-
testants and Catholics get on so we'll
together as In little Glarus. There
is but one church. belonging to both
Protestant and Cathoiic parishes. and
services are held for both every Sun
day morning. one after the other.
At 10 o'clock on the morning of
the first Sunday in May detachment
OF smart infantry and a brass band
accompany the President and the
members Of his government from the
Town Hall TO the medieval square
by the schoolhouse.
Here the President. Chief Justice
and two secretaries take their places
on the platform which the villagers
have erected in the centre of a huge
circle marked by tiers of benches.
The background Of quaint old houses,
towering precipices. and beyond the
snowy ramps of the Alps, is magni-
lcently picturesque.
