ROCKEFELLER AND MANSFIELD.


 Two men. whose names all the world knows, are in trouble. One is John D. Rockefeller, the other Richard Mans. Aeld.
 Ia the name of the great corpora. ton which he organized, fostercd and brought to its present mighty power, crimes innumerablc against the trade laws of the land, anu sentenced to pay . ane of more than s29,00O,000.
 Mansfield, the most brilliant star of tAe American theatrical Armament, the Dost imposing figure in the realm of classic comedy. lies shattered in body sad mind, exhausted and near to death.
 Rockefeller is n victim of Greed.
 Mansfield is n victim of Worry.
 Prom the time John D. Rockefeller laSored for a few pennies s day, keep iaG track of his expenditures (the greatest of which were his contribu. tioas to the church), in a little note. Ssok, his splendid mental forces and his tirelss energy have been concen. srsted upon one desideratum, the nc. esnnlation of wealth. His success has Ostsun the widest dreams of his youth. He ia the Croseus of all time.
 Ip the upbuilding of his tremendous fortune, Rockefeller mas hesitated st - trick, baked at no chicanery, falt. ssed before no obstacle, yielded to no inpulsc that seemed to stand between Aia and the Mountain of Gold to which &a has ever toiled. His pathway has 1sd him over the skulls of independent sadustriss, if not over the skulls of 0en-
 The. flower of his opulence mas 0esAg from the Garden of Misery, wstered by the tears of despair.
 And, yet, Rockefeller has preserved tee outward forms of worship of Him vho said to the sorrowing and the heavy laden, "Come unto Me, and I will give you rest" He has attended witA pisty the telling of the tale of Lassrus in heaven and Dives in hell. | Asd 1t is not the right or privilege of any man to say that Rockefeller has not considered his worship genuine.
 Rockefeller's greed has given much to charity and to education, paradox. sesi as the statement may be. His Greed has endowed schools while it | uiSod tenements, encouraged art while | h stiAed labor. It has organized the worlds business on lines that will last | Tor century, while it has crushed com. nSseial forms and scoffed at ethics that have endured for ages.
 A wonderful career is this, which, near its close, leads to a penitentiary "a Penitentiary that may not, perhaps, be built of stone and steel-but one at least of the laws condemnation and of the peoples disrespect.
 But Rockefeller keeps on playing golf and hiding, strangling his feelings, which, long used 10 such treatment, per. hSps assert themselves with but insig. nifcant force.
 And how of Mansfield, whose peer. less genius embellisbed the story of Beau Brummcl,' and showed us the hidden heart bangs of "The Misan. thropc," whose searching art inter. preted the last inflamed amour of tho roue, Chevrial, and opened the well. springs of our sympathy so that their flood poured forth for tho unhappy prince in "Old Heidelberg"--M Mans field, who illumintcd even Shake speare's "Richard Mansfield, who in his own contradictory person re. hectcd, in measure, the pulsating pas sions of that strange dual creation of his life In the dcmesne of his magic craft, "Jeyll and Hyde"
 Mansfield cared little for gain, but
