MRS. MANSFIELD
IN SECLUSION

NEW LONDON, Conn, Sept. s.
He was my husband" said the widow
of the dead Mansfield this afternoon
as she gazed at the casket containing
all that was mortal of the famous
actor while tributes and condolences
poured into the pretty white house at
Seven Acres.
SO grief stricken is Mrs. Mansfield
over the death of the man she saw rise
to the highest position upon the Am
erican stage that she plans to go into
complete seclusion as soon as tomor-
rows funeral ceremonies are over
The beautiful Mansfield mansion or
Riverside driye, New York, is to be
sold at once. So, too, are his other
places upon the outskirts of this city
with the exception of the newest Seven
Acres. Directly across from this is the
Gardner burying grounds, where
Mansfield's body will lie. The simple
white stone that will marx it will
stand out day and night in plain view
of the house, where the widow will
live.
1t Is understood also that Mr.. Mans.
fields valuable collection of scenery
and costumes will be disposed Of anc
every material vestige of his connec
ton with the stage wiped out, leaving
him mere glorious memory.

HARTMAN MS FAITH
IN IRRIGATION

SACRAMENTO, Sept. Sc. H.
Hartman, the railroad magnate, stop
ped over last night long enough to de-
liver a stirring talk to the National
Irrigation congress in which he told
how he came to take control of the
Union Pacific and the Central Pacific
and of his attitude of his organiza-
tions in the matter of irrigation and
forestry Mr.. Hartman and Governor
Chamberlain, of Oregon, president of
the congress, engaged in a mild de-
bate, the railroad man taking issue
with the remarks of Oregons chief
executive. Hartman said that when
he suggested to his associates east OF
the Mississippi that they take hold of
the Union Pacific, they regarded him
as being almost out Of his senses and
asked what he was going to do with
the desert to be traversed.

The first two lines overlapped and
were confused, but the last one was
clear enough. Expect trouble If If
what? Hundreds were asking the
question at this very moment. I should
soon be asking 1t, too, but first must
make an effort to understand the sit
uation-a situation which up to now
appeared to involve Mr.. Durand, and
Mr.. Durand only, as the suspected
party.
This was no more than expected,
yet IL came with a shock under the
broad glare Of this wintry morning,
SO impossible did 1t seem in the light
Of everyday life that guilt could be as
ISOLATED In any ones mind with a man
Of such unblemished record and ex.
cellent standing. But the evidence
adduced against him was Of kind TO
appeal to the common mind-we all
know that evidence-nor could l say,
after reading the full account, that
was myself unaffected by Its seeming
weight. Not that my faith in his limo
cence was shaken. had met his look
Of love and tender gratitude and my
confidence in him had been restored,
but l saw with all the clearness OF a
mind trained by continuous study how
difficult it was going to be to counter
act the prejudice induced, first, by his
own inconsiderate acts, especially by
| that unfortunate attempt Of his to Sc
crete Mrs. Falrbrother's gloves in an
other woman's bag, and, secondly, by
his peculiar explanations, which to
many must seem forced and unnatural.

simply an unbounded faith in the man

own insight, an insight which, had al.
ready served me so well and would
serve me yet better, once | had mas
tered the detailS which must be the
prelude to all intelligent action.
The mornings report stopped with
the explanations given by Mr.. Durand
Of the appearances against him; con
sequently no word appeared of the aft
err events which had made such an i'm
preston at the time on all the persons
present. Mr.. Grey was mentioned, but
simply as one of the guests, and to E1
one reading this early morning ISSUE
would any doubt come as to the genu
ineness Of the diamond which, to al
appearance, had been the leading m''
tive in the commission of this great
crime.
The effect on my own mind Il this
suppression was curious one. b
gan to wonder If the whole event hal

Other crops may wither and fail, but
the luscious, juicy melon continues to

Recruiting Officers Urged to
Redouble Their Efforts.
PROSPERITY A CAUSE.
Famine i'm Labor Market Par
italy Responsible.
Absence of the Canteen Assigned
as Another Reason.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Not in recent
years except in war times has the
army been so badly in need of men as
at present.
A circular addressed to all officers
of the recruiting service calls attention
to the fact that many recruits are
needed for the coast artillery. the field
artillery, the white infantry and the
white cavalry. Recruiting officers are
enjoined to redoubIe their efforts. Of
ficers on duty at the war department
admit the situation is one calling for
the most extraordinary efforts to get
more men, not only to fill the va
cancies that now exist but also those
which will occur during the present
year among the three year men who
enlisted in 1904. Particular emphasis
is given to the necessity for developing
to the utmost recruiting in the large
cities.
1t is declared at the war department
that the present prosperity and the labor
famine of the country are more or less
responsible for the Inability to get new
men and it also was on account of the
lack of the canteen a great many men
were refusing to resenlist. Incidentally
it was stated at the department that
an effort would be made to make army
life more attractive and to impress the
men with the idea fhat they are en-
listed as soldiers and not as laboring

Industrial Crisis.
Business Conditions of Country
Look Good to Him.
BEST YEAR is AHEAD.
Volume of Traffic will Surpass
That of 1906.
He Is Coming West to Look
Over His Property.

Pittsburg, Jan. 3.-George J. Gould,
head of the Gould system of railroads,
which includes the Wabash and the
Missouri Pacific, arrived here this
morning. He will leave later today on
a trip of inspection over the Wabash
and later will make a similar trip over
the other roads of the system.
Speaking of the statement of Stuyves-
ant Fish, formerly president of the IL
linois Central, that an Industrial crisis
is at hand, Mr.. Gould smiled as he said:
'The business conditions of the coun-
try look very encouraging and the i'm
railroads during 1906 will not only be
equalled, in my judgment. but surpass-
ed during the present year."
Mr.. Gould was entirely unconcern-
ed over the statement made by Mr..
Fish, that the stock exchange is no
longer a free market but the play
clared that the financial institutions
and Industrial conditions are in better
shape at present than at any period
in American history.
There is no industrial crisis imni-
nent," Mr. Gould concluded, land
while the market has declined recent
ly it is n temporary but healthful re-
action
Mr. Gould did not know what i'm
Trovements would be made on the
Gould railroad system, but said that
after the inspection number of
changes he now has in view would be
carried out. He expressed satisfaction
with the amount of business his roads
have done during the past year.

WAS BOUND TO DIE.
George F1eischer of Valley Falls Tries
Three Times to Kill Himself.

Valley Falls, Jan. 3-George Fleischer.
a prosperous farmer living five miles
south of here, and 65 years of age, to-
day made three unsuccessful attempts
to commit suicide.
Fleischer first endeavored to hang
himself in his barn, but his oldest son
learning of his intentions succeeded in
taking the rope away from the older
man. FIeischer next hurried to a shall
low little creek near his house which
contained a number of little puddles of
water deeper than the rest. He lay
down in one of these and kept his
head under water in an effort to drown
himself. His two boys, aged and IL
years followed him and grabbing him
by the hair pulled him out of the wa
ter.
He next returned to the house. and
pulling his jacknife out of his pocket
severely gashed himself in the right
wrist cutting the artery. He has not
died. and may survive all three at
tempts.
Fleischer is believed to be mentally
unbalanced. His Oldest son died a tri-
fe over a year ago. and he has brooded
over the loss ever since.
