MANsFIELD's ILLNESS.
Actors Real Condition Is Concealed
 from Public.

from Pubic.
 Ampersand, Lake Saranac. N. r., Aug. 4.-The continued illness of Rfch- ard Mansfield, the actor, since his re- turn from Europe, has aroused some apprehension as to the effect on his stage career.
 Mir. Mansfield, accompanied by his wife and brother, arrived here from Montreal last Sunday night. MT. Mansfield refuses absolutely to see any one His brother Felix Mansfield said:
 MT. Mansfield as is well known suf- fered a severe nervous breakdown due to overwork. He had taken practical ly no vacation for several years. The voyage to England in the latter part of May upset him. He had been ad- vised to take a complete rest and free his mind from business and profes- sional matters. He is convalesctng slowly and we believe 1t Is just a question of time when he shall regain his strength and vigor
 There is reason to believe that MT. Mansfeld's condition Is more serious than his family admit. It Is known that following MT. Mansfield's previ- ous prostration he has suffered great pain from sciatic rheumatism and has complained of severe pains in his side, probably caused by pleurisy.

SOUTHERN LIKELY TO STOP
 LOCAL BUSINESS IN ALABAMA

came about through the flinG of the petition in the State court for Talla- dega County for the removal of a per- sonal injury suit for damages to the Federal Court at Anniston. What would be simpler now. 1t Is asked than for the same attorneys for the Southern who filed the petition to go into the State court at Talladega end ask for the withdrawal of that motion:
 It has been rumored that the filing of the petition for the removal of the case to the Federal court by the ocal attorneys for the Southern was in pur suance of general instructions. issued before the recent litigation, to take such course in any suits against the railroad that might be hled. and that there was no specific instructions for this particular suit to be so removei.
 But whether that be the case or not, 1t would be the easiest thing in tho world for the attorneys for the South ern to so into the State court and withdraw the petition for removal. de- claring that 1t was a mistake, and was done unlntentionally and without proper authority.
 That course is frequently taken by attorneys It is not at all infreQuent for attorneys. for instance. to go into court and ask for the dismissal of complaints. which they have previously filed for clients.
 If the transcript of the complaint, answer, amendments. motions. docket entries and other papers in the case has already been made and forwarded to the Federal court at Anniston that fact would, of course. greatly complicate matters, in the. event the Southern should wish to follow the course outlined. But even in such 6 contingency. it would be possible. 1t 's thought by attorneys. to have the pa pers returned. upon request. and all record of the transfer to the Federai courts plotted out.
 Armed with a certificate that the transfer of the case in question to tho Federal court had never been actually consummated. the attorneys for the Southern could then go before the Sec- retary of State and ask that the order revoking the franchise of the southern to do business in Alabama should be cancelled.
 Back in old Position.
 Such a cancellation might not be pleasant to contemplate by some of the State officials. but in tho fact Of

 Territory.

Washington, August 4.-No advices have been received at the State De- partment concerning the reported ex- pedition of several Canadians. led by captain s. C. Young for Isle Royale. in Lake Superior. with the intention of hoisting the British flag on that island.

 That there will be contest no mat ter which way the Senatorial primary in Mississippi went, is the informa- ton that was received by this paper from reliable sources in Mississippi last night. Friends of both candidates are not satisfied with the closeness of the vote and the total vote cast.
