LONG STRUGGLE FOR FAME
DEATH DUE TO DISEASE OF THE
LIVER, AGGRAVATED BY CON-
PLICATIONS.

New London, Conn, Sept. 1.-Rich.
ard Mansfield, the best known actor
on the American stage, passed away
yesterday morning at his summe resi-.
dence, Seven Oaks, Ocean avenue.
Death was directly due to disease OF
the liver, aggravated by complications.
Dr.. A. H. Allen, a local physician, who
has been in charge since Mr.. Mans.
fields arrival here from Saranac Lake,
N. Y, states that death was not entire.
ly unexpected, although this fact had
ont been made public. Mr.. Mansfield's
condition had been reported as being
excellent.
There we're quite a number Of condi.
tons that prevented his getting we'll.
During the great actors last moments
he was lying in a condition Of coma
and did not recognize the loved ones
at his bedside. There were present at
the time of his death his wife, his
brother Felix, his young son Gibbs and
the physicians and nurses.
Studied in England.
Richard Mansfield was born on the
little island Of Heligoland on May "a,
1857. His mother was Nine. Mansfield
R~udersdorf, a famous prima donna,
and it was from her that Mansfield in
herited his love for the arts. The &C.
tor studied at several schools on the
continent and then went to England to
study art. The young artist made a
%precarious living painting pictures.
and many times his only meal in those
early days in London was a hot potato
bought from a street pedd!er.
Il used to hold the potato to warm
my hands," said Mansfield in relating
his experience, land then eat It,"
Played Many Parts.
Mr.. Mansfield's, first work on the
stage was in the Gilbert and Sullivan
comic operas. His dramatic genius
did not manifest itself until chance
gave him the opportunity to play the
part Of Baron Chevrial in the Paris.
ian Romance" He lifted what at first
seemed to be q small eccentric part to
n of all absorbing interest. The pub
lie and the critics forgot the play to
talk of Mansfeld's great work, and
from that day he become a leading
actor on the American stage. Among
the more important Ut the parts in
which Mansfield distinguished himself
were: Prince Karl" "Dr. Jekyll and
MI. HYDE" Richard ILL.," "Cyrano de
B~ergerac," "Ivan the Terrible" Hen.
ry w." "Shylock" and Beau Brum-
mel" The last effort Of his genius
was displayed in a remarkable produc.
ton OF Ibsen's peer Gynt."

ANYTHING OF KIND EVER
HELD IN COUNTRY.
100000 ATTEND OPENING DAY
BREAKS ALL RECORDS IN At.
TENDANCE AND NUMBER AND
QUALITY OF EXHIBITS.

ST. Paul, Sept. 4. - The mammoth
and incompatible Minnesota state fair
on the opening day established a new
record for attendance. Remarkable
as was the attendance at the opening
day last year, yesterdays record went
it still stronger, meeting fully the ex-
pectations of the managers of the
Agricultural society. The officials
placed yesterdays attendance at 10O,.
600.
I'VE believe we have the best and
biggest fair in the United States
said President b. F. Nelson, land the
n in which the people turned
out to-day shows that they feel that
way about it also"
The present fair Is worthy the pat
ronage it drew yesterday. While the
people of Minnesota turned out in
force to manifest their enthusiasm for
a venture which Is recognized as the
best In the land, they were not alone
prompted by patriotism for the North
olul oldIS. AhCy "ShS O. Ih>y
had been told that they would see the
best state fair on earth. Such had
been told them before, and they went,
saw and believed.
Signs Of Progress.
When the visitors entered the
grounds yesterday they witnessed
marked indications Of the spirit of
progress. They not only saw a more
varied assortment of exhibits, but a
splendid growth in all the displays
which have formed a part Of previous
fairs. This years fair has improved
and expanded in every way and has
attained a stage Of development which
has to be seen to be realized.
The fact that Dan Patch was to pace
contributed considerable to the big at
tendance yesterday. While Dan went
a mile in 1881 : as compared to 1:55
which he established last year on the
grounds as the worlds record, the in.
tense admiration which he draws was
not a bit diminished. The wind was
too sharp and the air too cool for him
to do his best. He demonstrated his
