determined to go up to London, for he

Travelled Like a Monarch.

Among the laity it may have been
popular of late years to envy Richard
Mansfield. There he was, at the head
OF his profession, travelling in his own
private car luxuriously furnished, &C.
cupylng special suits at the finest ho-
tells, owning a splendid home on Riv-
erside drive in New York and another,
at New London, Conn. No monarch
ever journeyed in more magnificent
style than Richard Mansfield. No
monarch ever appeared more naughty
than he in his attitude toward the or
binary people,. Europe has half a doz-
en kings more easy to approach than

BY ROBERTUs LOVE.

tTICHARD MANSFIELD is prod
/ ICY. The word prodigy has two
n definitions. By one meaning it is
a person so extraordinary as to
excite wonder or establishment. By the
other meaning it is monster. Accord
Ing to some of his enemies, Richard
Mansfield perhaps fits the latter defini-
ition, but in truth he does not. That he
Is an extraordinary person who has
excited both wonder and establishment
for years is strictly true. When the
news was sent out few days ago
from the great north woods Of New
York state that the famous actor was
lying seriously i'll in little cottage,
broken in body and mind, pathetically
calling for his stage costumes and
mumbling over some Of the lines Of his
chief triumphs, the thought occurred to
more than one person that the life Of a
successful tragedian may be in itself
tragedy. In the world Of artistic en-
deavor triumph and tragedy lie very
close together. Very frequently, to-
ward the final curtain, they overlap.
Since the death Of Henry Irving,
Mansfield has been recognized as the
greatest living actor that speaks his
lines in the English tongue. For a
score Of years he has been mounting
steadily and surely toward that proud
position. He was born to climb to the

and If had a penny invested it in
baked potatoes from the baked potato
man on the corner. I would put those
hot potatoes in my pocket, and after
had warmed my hands I would
swallow the potatoes. That is the
truth" ...
But Richard Mansfield did not use
hot potatoes both for heat and food
because he had to. He did it because
he wanted to be an actor-perhaps be-
cause he had to be an actor. His
mother, the noted singer Nine. Riders
dorff, desired him to be painter. The
youth tried painting, with fair success
artistically. His mother was wealthy.
She had gold in abundance for Richard
the artist, but not cent for Richard
the actor. When the young man de-
termined to be an actor the madame
cut him off as to finances; hence the
hot potatoes.

StarveIinq For Years.

Millions of men may live on baked
potatoes and restaurant smells with
out any particular privation. But it
was different with young Richard
Mansfield. He had been gently rear
ed. His mother adored him, and he

eyes, madam" Mansfield replied,
"for days as we'll as nights. 1t is then
do those dreadful things-trample on
the upturned features Of my leading
lady and hurl tenderloin steaks at
waiters.''
"And you do not know it at all?"
''Not solitary thing, madam, unit!
I read the papers next day"
One of his leading women, at any
rate, Mansfield did not dismiss. Miss
Beatrice Cameron, who was his sup
port early in his career and charm
ing actress, is Mrs. Richard Mans
field. She is at her husbands bed
side In the great north woods.
Let US now forget that Philadel-
phia super sued Mansfield for assault
and battery because the actor struck
the super over the head with spear
when he got out of line. Let US re-
fuse to remember the mutton chop
which Mansfield threw at the waiter
in the Auditorium hotel at Chicago
because the chop. was frizzled. Let
us remember rather the hot potato Of
the London days, the determination,
the toll, the life and soul devotion to
the art that overmastered the man
and the triumph he has achieved.

CHINESE ATTACK
BRITISH RAILROAD

The news from Consul General Den
by. at Shanghai. that Chinese rioters
have attacked the British railroad, IN
course OF construction between Shang-
hal and Su-Chow. because it passed
through native cemeteries where The
foreign devils - locomotives would
disturb the spirits of their ancestors, Is
regarded in a rather singular spirit at
the state Department.
Instead of being looked upon as a
manifestation o. continued ignorance
ana superstition among the Chinese,
there is a disposition here to see in 1t a
natural evolution in the wave OF prog
ress which is sweeping over the Chinese
Empire.
It is regarded as a manifestation OF
the disposition which Is becoming more
apparent In China Of the desire Of
that government and people TO with
draw all concessions heretofore granted
to foreigners with the object of work
ing the great natural international re-
sources Of the empire with native cap
ital and native labor, and for the bene-
fit OF the Chinese people In otner
words. the slogan OF China for Chi
nese" is evidently becoming more and
more popular.
