FIGHT FOR s5oo,ooo ESTATE.
Nephews of Mrs. Harris, OF Cincinnati,
viii Contest Her Will.

Cincinnati, Aug. 29.-The viii Of
Mrs. Catherine Harris, who left near
ly half a million dollars 10 q half
brother residing in Topeka. Kan, is to
be contested by her nephews, it was
announced Wednesday.
Mrs. Harris was the widow Of Col.
Leonard Harris, former mayor and in
ternal revenue collector and q strong
political leader, and managed her
own estate.
The appraisers reported Wednesday
that no part of the estate is taxable,
that it does not own a single bit of
bad paper, real estate nor a bond. A
remarkable fact in connection with
this estate is that it does not yield a
cent Of taxes for the public treasury,
as Mrs. Harris bad invested only in
non-taxable stocks and in securities
that stood far above par.

New London, Conn, Aug. 31.-Ricf-
ard Mansfield, the best known actor
on the American stage, passed away

Mr.. Mansfeld's arrival here from Sar-
anac Lake, n. Y, states that death
was not entirely unexpected, although
this fact had not been made public.

Mr.. Mansfeld's condition had been
reported as excellent.
1t was stated that he stood the jour-
ney well from Saranac Lake and that
he was up and around his home here
until three days ago. Then a turn for
the worse set in and Mr.: Mansfield
was confined to his room. Yesterday

Complete Breakdown Last Spring.
The intense nervous strain under
which Richard Mansfield worked caus-
ed a complete breakdown last spring
while he was playing an engagement
in Scranton, Pa, though he a been
in poor health for some time. He recov-
cred sufficiently to enable him to
make a voyage to England. The Eng
lisn climate failed to benefit the actor
and several weeks ago he returned to
this country and went to Ampersand,
in the Adirondacks. Mr.. Mansfield
longed to be at his summer home IN
New London, Conn, and several days
ago he was taken there in his private
car.
Sketch of Richard Mansfield.
Richard Mansfield was born on the
island Of Heligoland, then a British
possession, in the German ocean,,
where his parents were sojourning at
that time, May "a, 1857. He was de-
scended from a family Of actors on
| his mothers side. She was the fam
Gus prima donna, Nine. Mansfield Ru-
dersforf. Mans.ield's early youth was
passed in England and on the CONT
nent and his education was received
at various places. He studied for a
time in a private school in Germany
and then went to Derby, England. 1t
was while at the latter place that ne
made his first appearance as an actor,
filling the role of Shylock in class-day
exercises.
Clerk in Dry Goods Store.
It was the desire of his mother that
Mansfield become an artist, and after
leaving his studies he took a course in
art for a time at South Kensington.
Family reverses later compelled the
future actor to seek other means OF
support and he decided to come to
the United States, where he secured
a clerkship in the mercantile estab-
lishment of Jordan, Marsh & Co. OF
Boston. He remained with the Bos,
ton house for ZONE time and the
senior member Of the firm became
one Of his fast friends. He had no.
entirely forsaken his art, and he was
known to have done some painting
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1907-09-05

wnlie employed IN tho cotnme-eaal lito
in Boston. In 1875 he returned TO
England, hoping to sell some OF lis
paintings, but he failed in this and
fer a time it is said he was on the
point Of starvation.
Takes to Stage as Last Rescrt.
AS q last resort the disappointed
artist accepted an engagement With q
strolling company Of actors at g sal
airy Of SIS a week and by hard work
he soon began to rise in his pE0fcs-
sion. After appearing in England for
several years he returned to the Unit
ed States and made his first aps
pearance in this country as "Dro-
mez" in the opera Les ManteauX
Noires" at the Standard theater in
New York on September rs. 1878.
When the opera RIP Van Winkle'
was produced he YVES given the paIt
of Nick Vedder and in the ~personilca-
ton of this character he was a sue
cess. Shortly after that Mansfield
was given a place in the company of
A. M. Palmer at the Union Square the
alter, where he took the part of Tran
del in the "Parisian Romance"
Married Beatrice Cameron.
September is, 1882, Mr.. Mansaeld
married Beatrice Cameron, his lead
ing woman for several seasons. and
one son was born. Nj. MansheM had.
a beautiful home in Riverside drive
in New York city Just south Of One
Hundred and f'ourth street. He was
a member of many clubs. He vas
fond of horses ana maintained q
splendid stable at his New York res
idence.

The hum ors of Rural Delivery:

troubles, which begin when he
gets his commission and assume
his duties. One source Of his
woe IS the never ceasing exac-
tions of his patrons" along his
route. They ask him to find out
what jones is paying for wood,
and 10 let them know tomorrow
without fail. They expect him
to find out who has pigs for sale,
and what the butcher is paying
for calves, and what the store
keeper would recon mend for q
sick baby. A rural carrier in

ceived the following communica
ton: Friend Fred: AS you run
