MANSFIELD ESTATE.
Gifted Actor Made Il Large Fortune
i'm Fifteen Years.

Gifted Actor Made Large Fortune
i'm Fifteen Years.
Probably there never will be an ac-
curate invoice of the estate left by
Richard Mansfield But under the
laws of the state of Connecticut,
where the will will be undoubtedly
probated, it is necessary to make an
approximate inventory, and this will
show whether the estimate OF Mr..
Mansfield's fortune of a little under
100000 is exaggerated.
But, in any event, Mr.. Mansfield
will be regarded as a great fortune
maker. especially in view of the fact
that his permanent fortune was not
begun until about fifteen years ago.
Mansfield undertook the produc-
ton of Richard ILL., about twenty
years ago. 1t was an artistic success,
but it left Mr.. Mansfield about $780,
600 in debt.
ManSfield'S first step to great Tor
tune was taken in Philadelphia. In
one of the hotels of that city, where
he was staying in the winter of 1890,
he was occupying every minute with
his secretary Clyde Fitch, he walk
ing about and in pantomime perfect
ling the scenario, leaving Mr. Fitch
write the dialogue of what became
the play of Beau Brummel."
There were one or two failures af-
ter the success of Beau Brummel,
one financial failure and another an
artistic failure, but, on the whole,
Mansfield gained rapidly in fortune
after the summer of 1891.
He probably made a larger fortune
in briefer time than any other
American actor. Jefferson's fortune
is much greater than any Mansfield
could have left, but Jefferson was
nearly forty years in accommodating it.
Lolita Crabtree is not only the
richest of all women who played upon
the American stage, but one Of the
richest of American women, bu
much the greater part of her fortune
was made in shrewd investments
Edwin Booth retired from thu
stage with fortune of little undel
s1,OOO,000, but he was nearly twenty
years accommodating it.
No one living or dead has matched
the experience of Paderewski, who II
the year of his latest appearance in thu
United States received 1880, 900, al
though part of it was earned II
Europe.
But it is not fair to make compari
sons between the great pianists AM
any actor, since Paderewski's ex
penses were trifing, involving merel
the cost of travel and advertising 0
hall and management
Mansfield had a very expensiv
company to pay and costly scenery t
provide. He had another ambitio
than that of acting although only hi
most intimate friends knew of it.
He hoped to accumulate enough t
enable him to build and endow
great classic theater in New Yorl
but he counted upon the aid {
wealthy men of New York When h
found that wealthy men were organ
lied to build the New Theater' an
upon the lines which Mr.. Mansfiel
himself had already planned, h
still hoped that the day woul
come when he would be received int
association with that plan.

Concerning Ancestry.

Mrs. Donald Mclean, president of
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton, said of ancestry at dinner in
New York:
II think We would all, If We had
our choice, prefer to be well born.
Good children are more apt to come
from good than from bad parents.
Then. besides, good birth is recon-
mendation. In everything we con-
slider the source.
at is like the story of the school
teacher. There was teacher teach
ing in very poor neighborhood, who
received daily gifts from one, of her
pupils, a ragged little boy.
THE flowers were of all sorts,
sometimes simple, old-fashioned gar
den flowers. AS a rule, they were
somewhat faded.
Zone day the boy brought the
teacher a great bouquet of mauve or
chids To be sure, they were much
wilted, but none the less it could be
seen that they had once cost great
deal of money. The puzzled teacher,
as she took them, said:
Jimmy, where do you get all
these flowers that you give me? You
don't steal them, I hope
oh, no. ma'am, the youngster
answered. fathers an ash man.

Needed Snecial Guidance.

Edwin A. Halsey, late assistant
charge d'affaires of the senate press
gallery. who halls from Virginia, is
responsible for the following story,
according to the Washington Post:
An old darky who had not been to
church for a long time, appeared one
night at prayer meeting. His pres
ence at the meeting was commented
on by one of his brethren of the
church. The conversation between
the two was something like this:
Say, Brother Johnson, I amt saw
you heah at de meetinhouse for a
considerable duration"
Oats so,' replied Brother john
son: Use been very busy
well, how come you heah tonight,
Brother Johnson"
well, you see, it's like dis,

from the copper, lead and zinc re-
gions. In most of the important min
erals the United States has a long
lead over any other country. 1t
stands second in gold production,
having only the Transvaal ahead of
it, but it is first not only in iron and
steel, but in coal, copper and other
minerals. For the calendar year
1907 our aggregate mineral product
will be over $4,000, 900, 1000, or more
than double that of 1899. We fur
nish much more than half of all the
worlds copper, and also more than
half of its petroleum, another indus
try which is calling out for more
workers.
With the farms. the factories and
the mines bidding against each other
for workers. the condition of the
wage Garner is especially happy. Al
though the immigration was 1,000,-
600 in 1905. 100000 in 1906 and
nearly 100000 in 1907. the west
and the south are calling loudly for
more help" While the average en-
ployer would prefer American work
ers to all sorts of newly-landed
aliens, the latter can find ready en-
ploymeut in the Mississippi valley
and throughout the south. at good
wages. Immigration bureaus from
many of the states west of the Allie
| ghanies and below the Potomac and
the Ohio are offering inducements for
| the immigrants to come In their di-
rection. but the labor shortage still
persists. This condition shows the
folly of the predictions that business
| is on the decline. The railroads are
hauling more goods than they did a
year ago, which means not only thai
the people are buying more. but that
| the mills and the mines are produc.
ing more If this is adversely, the
country wants all of 1t that it car
get.

GENERAL BOOTH AND
THE JAPANESE PEOPLE

General Booth is back again in
England after a reception in the Far
East such as no religious leader has
had since the days when Francis
Xavier made his triumphant pro.
gress Received by the emperor, and
honored by men like Togo and Oyama
and Okuma, he arrested and dazzled
the Imagination of the Far Eeastern
peoples.
He returns profoundly impressed
with the future be ore the yellow
races "They are like a rising,
mighty, flowing tide" he said in con-
versation at his home at Hadely
Wood on Sunday afternoon. THE
West is so busy that it has no time or
inclination to consider what their
new purpose means. China, now re-
asserting herself. hopes to see every
yard of her territory taken by for
eigners regained. All foreigners may
yet be given notice to quit from
there.
1.-The Western world must look to
Japan as a new and powerful COM
petitor in trade and commerce. She
is no longer trammeled by old ideas
as to the degrading character of
trade 1t is only a question of time
when her industries will be tutored
with the most expert direction and
packed with the finest machinery
taken from all the nations of the
world. | do not see what can pre-
vent her from producing the finest
articles at the cheapest possible
price.
Take by way of illustration some
of the machinery they are producing.
A great industrial exhibition is now
being held at Toxic. One of my staff
saw there certain printing machinery,
and he brought me word that the
Japanese were displaying rapid
multi-color rotary machine that was
not only an improvement in speed on
ANYTHING of this sort in the United
States, but was produced at half the
cost.
1.-THE progress Japan will be OBJ
tanned by peaceful methods, he con-
tinued. 1.-THE Japanese have not the
most distant desire for conflict.
Many of their people died of broken
heart at the amount of blood and
money spent in the war for so small
results as were obtained. They in
tend to retain what they have got,
and to retain it by ghting, if fighting
| is the only way
A little later the general reverted
to the same subject. 1.-THE Chinese
and the Japanese will come in COM
petition and take the Eastern mar
kets right away" he said. Their
notions are different from ours. The
Englishman knows nothing about
thrift.
THE Japanese lives, and lives in
more comfort than you might think.
on very little. A shilling a day is
still good wages for the laborer. On
first going through the streets you
are impressed by signs of poverty

CALL FOR LABOR.

From factory, mine and harvest
field comes the call for additional
workers. At Gary, Ind, on Septem-
Der /, the largest steel mills in the
world will be opened They belong
to the United States Steel Corpora
ton, which produces about half of
the American steel output Gary is
the town which the steel trust has
been building, and which is not yet
completed. Many millions of dollars
have been expended in getting iron
and steel works established at that
point, and many more millions are

The United States produces 40 per
cent of the worlds iron and AZ per
cent of its steel. And yet it can not
entirely meet the home demand. Iron

part of the $4,000, 900 of manufac-
lures which were exported in 1907,
but they also figure in the imports
with some prominence. Notwth-
standing the expansion in the num-
Der and the capacity of the iron and
steel works of the country, they are
unable to supply all the orders which
are pouring in, and thus the foreign
furnaces and mills are being drawn
upon by American consumers.
Cripple Creek has sent out a call
for miners, but it is unarie to get as
many as it wants. The reason why
il can not get as many as it would
like to employ is that Nevada and
the rest of the gold fields in the
United States are sending out their
demands for additional workers. In
the coal and iron mines of the east
and the central west there is a short
age of workers, and there has been
for many months. A like story comes

EVERYBODY SATISFIED.

The News takes great pleasure in
announcing TO the citizens of Ely in
another column of this issue, that
the committee appointed ny the Com
mercial club to confer with the board
of school trustees has unanimously
approved the course taken by the
trustees in all matters pertaining to
the construction of a school building
for this district.
The Commercial Club committee
apparently did not thoroughly under
stand the situation and after CON-
Dlete investigation came to the con-
clusion that the school trustees had
been faithful TO their trust and that
their proposed action as TO the cree
lion of a school building should he
carried to completion.
The News wishes to compliment
the Commercial club and especially
the members of this committee, fol-
the manner in which they conducted
the closing scenes of this widely dis
cussed controversy. They showed ne
spirit of antagonism, expressed con
fidence in the trustees and harmon!
prevails in all quarters.
Now for the school house. We eX
pect to see the work of construction
pushed as rapidly as possible.
