MANSFIELD LEAVES
100000 ESTATE
BEQU EATHES ALL PROPERTY TO
HIS WIFE IN SHORTEST
WILL ON RECORH.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-''After the
payment of my just debts, it is my
desire that my estate, real and per-
sonal. go to my wife, Beatrice Cam
eron Mansfield.
This. one of the shortest wills on
record, is the last will and testament
of Richard Mansfield, the actor. 1t
was made in 1894, when Mrs. Mans
field, who had then been the wife of
the actor for two years, retired from
the stage. no will was made after
that time and no codicil added. As
he thought then he thought when he
died, and the widow was named as
the sole executriX without bond.
Probably worth 100000 when he
married, the first act of the great
player was TO deed it to his wife.
Subsequently, as his seasons showed
profits of from $4,000 to $50. 900,
the money was invested as his judg-
ment indicated in real estate and the
deeds made out in his wife's name.
The three New London estates and
the home on Riverside Drive, his
rights to all plays and scenery, his
stock and cash in bank, will amount
to about 100000, with some $60,-
900 life insurance. OF this, all save
the life insurance policy and cash
and bonds were Mrs. Mansfield's be-
fore his death, so that the property
of which the will disposes is worth
not more than 100000.

severely and dragging them to the
city limits with injunctions to leave
at once and keep going.

GAGEMENTS AUGUST % AND
SEPTEMBER I.

CASABLANCA, Sept. About
5000 Moors participated in Mondays s
fight. The Moors, who were repul-
sed on all sides, made most impress
sive picture, as, garbed Enthusiastically,
mounted on wildhorses and carry
ing their banners in the front line,
they swept down from the hills in
splendid formation and charged thun-
derously to within 400 yards of the
French, who for a moment seemed
in danger of being overridden. AS
they advanced, the Moors chanted
verses from the Koran. The regular
Algerians encountered the first shock
of the Moors' assault without yield
ing a foot. from the position they oc-
cupied. General Drude quickly en-
ployed his forces to the greatest ad-
vantage and the Moors were subject
ed to fire of shot and shell which
soon left the ground strewn with
corpses. Major Provost was slain
while returning to camp after the
engagement, which opened at 5 a.
m. and tasted seven hours. 1t is es-
timated that in the engagements of
August 2Sth and .eptember 1st about
500 Moors were killed.

TAKES CARBOL|C ACID
WITH FATAL RESULTS

BUTTE, Sept. 4.-John Beatty,
one of the Oldest and best known
commercial travellers in the west,
died today from the effects of car
bolic acid, apparently taken in fit
of despondency over failure to Sc
cure work in his line of business. Mr..
Beatty had been in poor health and
practically had been out of employ
ment for the past four years. John
Beatty was about 55 years of age
and was a well known figure on the
streets of this city In the last cleo
ton he was a candidate for the legis-
lature on the Democratic ticket. Mr..
Beatty first became acquainted with
the people in the west as a represent
ative of Kirkendall, the shoe man
ufacturer of Omaha, for whom he
worked for twenty years, making his
headquarters in Salt Lake. He was
a prominent member and secretary
of the brotherhood of Owls in this

ing member of the United CONNER
cial Travellers association and was

business amounting to $4,000 a
month-from SIS to $25; doing
business between $4,000 and $15,-
000-from $12 to SIS; doing busi-
ness from $1,000 to $4,000 month
from $S to $15 and doing business
less than $1,000 a month-from S.
to SIS.
Physicians-from $40 to Sc.
Photographers $S to $6.
Pawnbrokers-from $25 to $40.

Shooting galleries-from 80 to $S.
Tailors-from SO to SIS.
Cornice shops-from SO to SIS.
Undertakers-fro $15 to $40.
Water companies-from $25 to
500.
1t was suggested that the tax upon
lumber dealers be reduced from $15
to SIP when Councilman Carbon
said:
This is no play on my part, but
the lumber dealers are carrying big
stocks and l think SIS a quarter
is not bit too much.'
When the figures were fixed for
taxing mercantile companies Attor-
ney Boreman asked the council how
the clerk would estimate the sales.
1t was suggested that the merchants
be called upon each month for an es-
innate of the business they had done.
1t was then decided to make an am
endment to the ordinance fiying the
assessment upon the amount of stock
each merchant carried.
The tax on sewing machine agents
was increased to SIS and Attorney
Boreman raised the point that il was
unconstitutional to tax comm ,rcial
men.
When ready to pass the ordinance
the council reconsidered the matter
of reducing the liquor license tax and
change the figures as they originally
were.
The dog license ordinance was f.
nally passed and is nov in effect.

.TELEGRAPHERS SEEK
OTHER EMPLOYMENT
If STRIKE TERMINATED TODAY
30 PER CENT OF OPERA
TORS BE MISSING.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The World
today says: From now on the strik-
ing telegraph operators will seek
temporary employment in other
trades. The 400 girls in this city
will start this morning to get en-
ployment in dry goods stores. The
summer vacations are over and they
say they can easily find other en-
ployment. They will seek employ
ment as telephone operators. Twenty
of the men obtained other employ
ment yesterday and on October 1 st,
next, when the eight-hour law goes
into effect, compelling railroads to
make the shifts of eight hours each
in twenty-five states, 600 men from
New York and Chicago will become
telegrapherS on railroads.
Unnecessary Trip.
Superintendent Brooks of the
Western Union said yesterday:
"The meeting of the directors on
September 10th will take no action
on the strike and will simply trans
act routine business. The forty-five
men from the different locals who are
coming here to discuss arbitration
might as well save expenses and re-
main where they are. Their coming
here will do them no good"
Officers of the union said today
that the reports from the south and
west that the strikers in many cities
are becoming disorganized and re-
turning to work are untrue and be-
ing sent out by agents of the tele-
graph companies.
Advertising For Places.
President Ahearn of New York un-
ion advertised today in the local pa
pers for employment for 1000 strik-
ing operators at clerical work, book
keeping or anything else, except for
telegraph companies. Mr.. Ahearn
said:
81 am sure that the strikers will
secure positions in other lines of
business before the end of ten days
The railroads are gobbling up a lot
of operators and if the strike was
settled tomorrow there would be 80
per cent of the expert telegraphers
