 Preparations are being made to re- move Richard Mansfield to his summer home in New London, Next Sunday. This is the result of a serious decline in his strength, that has given his friends considerable alarm, aud 1t has been given out that he may not act again. After his arrival at his cottage on Lake Saranae every effort was made to suppress news concerning the actors real condition. Reporters were told that he was greatly improved by the air of the Adlrondacks, and this for time allayed all fears. Suspic- ions were aroused. however, when Dr Lemleux, the great Canadian physl- clan, was summoned from Montreal, and reports of the worst possible nature now seem to be confirmed. Moreover. Dr Lemieux Is still in con stant attendance. While arrange ments are being made to transport Mir Mansfield to New london it Is not known whether he will have strength enough to take that Journey. A special train has been provided for and this will he run slowly In order to avoid any Jolting. Sunday was chosen because 1t would be quieter al points along the route than on week day.

And while the girl | who has pleased all London by her naivete and girlish daintlness smiled i and gurgled over the welcoming pair | the mystery was unrayelled. They l were her American cousins. Later the | relative told me the little story. She was more devoted to her father than to any man on earth. His name was Billie Burke. Here Is Ethel Burke. When she went upon the stage she thought to honor him as much as she could by adopting for her stage name his real one. Her life ambition is .o make the name Billie Burke. honor ably and worthIiy known. Every time she has won q triumph she has written asking To you think Papa would be pleaseiT-
