PASSING OF
GREAT ACTOR
Richard Mansfield, Fore
most Exponent of Ameri-
can Stage Dies.
WAS BROKEN IN HEALTH
Fellow Workers and Press Pay Trib.
ute to Genius of His Produc-
tons World Over.

Richard Mansfield died yesterday.
The foremost actor of the American
stage has made his final exit" after
tragedy of which the public has seen
but glimpses.
The somber news that the creator of
Beau Brummel the debonair, and
Chevrial the satyr, Ivan the Terrible,
and charming Prince Carl had been
called away from his life work with
out warning to the multitudes of the
actors admirers. For months it had
been known that Mansfield was too
Ill to appear on the stage this season.
but the fatal nature Of his illness was
unsupported by all except his closest
| associates.
For weeks past reports of his condi-
ton. optimistic in tone, have been given
intermittent publicity. Yet all the
while Mansfield was playing his last
part with Death waiting for him in
the wings.
Dies at Summer Home.
The end came at o'clock yesterday
morning al Seven Oaks" Mansfield's
summer residence in New London,
Conn. A chronic affection of the liver
and attendant nervous and functional
arrangements were the causes. The
patient himself and his family had
known for months that the malady was
fatal, but the fact had been concealed
by the cloak of privacy with which
Mansfield always surrounded his life
off the stage.
When Mansfield announced six
months ago. that he had retired for a
season to enjoy a playtime of recupera-
| ha hot J.,
bered. During his last tour, when he
was fascinating thousands with Chey-
rails dying toast, with Beau Brum-
mel's tragic delirium of starvation
with Peer Gynt's fear of the Button
holders ladle, he was certain that dy-
ing would soon become not a mimicry
but a reality for him. All the while
he was bravely going through will
a tragedy of suffering, of ebbine
strength, of mental torture, that tn,
people did not suspect.
Editorial Tribute.
Editorial tribute to the genius o.
Richard Mansfield was paid withou
stint by the newspapers of New York
the city which saw more of his pro
auctions than did any other. Some o
the comment on the occasion of hi
death was as follows:
POST-Richard Mansfield was unques
tionably the most successful Ameri
can actor manager of his time. MI
Mansfield offered much that was in
spring, little that was altogethe
trivial, nothing, SC far as presen
| memory serves. that was base. o
few managers could so much be said
MAII-A great figure of the English
speaking stage and a most inter
esting man passes away in the dealt
of Richard Mansfield. In seeking
: companion figure of equal proper
lions, on our own stage, we mus
look back to men that stood as hig
2 as Edwin Booth and Joseph Jeffer
son.
: EVENING SUN-The great good thini
to be said about Richard MANSFIELD
; is that as an artist he was never sat
: isfed. He was not content to fin
a part or kind of part in which h
was successful and stick to that a
others Of his trade had done befor
him. He was always reaching out
and If his grasp did not always equa
his reach he was obviously true t
his own ideals.

signed by Messrs Dueker, McMahan,

Immediately after the meeting had

moved that the council resolve itself
into committee of the whole, to
which Mr.. Englebert objected. saying
that there was no necessity for any
secrecy in the consideration of the
matter that had brought them togeth-
er. Mr.. Deuker said there were mat

he thought it advisable for the body
to act as committee of whole. The
motion of Mr.. McMahan prevailed by
a vote of to 4, and the members
retired to the seclusion of the control

about fifteen minutes.
When they returned to the coun-

Amid Enthusiasm Speaker
Branch Announces Vote on
the Measure.
ASSEMBLY IN AN UPROAR
THOSE ON THE FLOOR SHOUT
FOR vERIFICATION OF THE
COUNT WHILE ABSENT MEN,
BERS ARE HUSTLED IN.

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 25-Mem.
bers of the house of representatives
late this afternoon, went on record as
favoring Sunday professional baseball
games, when by vote of 50 to Sc, a
bill which will allow charging of adj
mission to witness games played on
Sunday by professional and amate urs,
was passed.
The fight for the bill was one of the
most enthusiastic of the present leg
islature and for time, just previous
to the announcement of the vote, the
house was in complete disorder. In
fact it was only when Speaker
Branch called for the chief doorkeep-
er to clear the floor that there was any
semblance of quiet.
AS the roll call on the bill progressed
it became evident that unless there
was some tall hustling on the part of
the friends of the measure, that it
would fail of passage for want of a
constitutional majority.
Speaker Branch was Kind.
Speaker Branch was kind to the
baseball enthusiasts and even after
the roll had been verified he suggest
ed that the absentees be called, or
sent for. This was done before the
vote was announced and by repeated
calls for verification of the roll
enough delay was given for a search
to be made for vote which would as
sure passage of the bill. After con-
siderable time Representative McCul-
Tough of Madison county was found
and yanked out of committee meet
ing, rushed onto the floor of the house
just in time to stand up and request
to be registered as voting in favor of
the bill. His action was greeted with
much applause on the part of members
of the house and an instant later when
Speaker Branch announced that the
vote stood 80 to Sc. there was a repe-
tition of enthusiasm.
