SWEDISH PRINCE CAN ONLY GASP
Amazed by the Crowd at coney, and
Likes IT,


New York-Prince Wilhelm of Swe-
den says he is no different from any
ordinary country individual who comes
to the metropolis to see the sights.
He liked Coney island so we'll on his
visit that he paid a return visit. On
his visit earlier in the week the prince
was assured that Saturday night
crowd would far exceed the throng he
then saw. Wilhelm was skeptical, but
he learned his error tonight He was
fairly carried off his feet by the enor-
nous crowd.
He did not mind the throngs regard
ing him as the show. The prince, how
ever, had to hurry back to keep late
dinner engagement. His highness
spent another busy day. He visited
the North German Lloyd lines, Hobo
ken docks, and went through the giant
liner Kaiser Wilhelm II. Then he au-
tomobiled along the Jersey shore to
Fort Lee, lunched at the Claremont
as a guest of the Swedish consul, and
visited Grants tomb, where he left a
magnificent wreath. Later he visited
the Swedish orphan asylum in Brook
Ign. He had only words of praise for
everything. The skyscrapers, women,
American warships, Coney island, rail
roads, entertainments, all came in for
his commentator.
''You must excuse me-" he said, eff
have no words but nice and lovely
and beautiful, but they are the words
l like best to use about this country"
ut is the land of contentment," he
said. II know there must be poor
people but have not seen them. 1t

opportunities which this country gives

Souvenir Hunters Take Away MANY
Fine Relics.
Prince Wilhelm of Sweden put ii
his customary busy day in New York
in spite of the fact that it was Sun,
day. He attended religious services
on board the Swedish cruiser Fylgia
entertained a small party Of friends
at luncheon on board the ship, was
almost mobbed by the crowd when be
came ashore, motored through Central
park, and gave a small dinner at the
Hotel Aston
Sunday was reception day aboard
the cruiser, and following the custom
established when the Duke Of Abruzla
italian, visited New York, it seemed
that every visitor wanted to carry
away a souvenir. Glasses, dishes,
sailors caps and officers sword scab
bards-in fact, practically everything
lying loose was taken. One enthusiast
tic hunter even carried away the
breechblock latch of the big gun in the
forward latch.
1t is estimated that 10000 people
visited the cruiser and while the
chief engineer believes his engines
are still intact, the weight Of articles
taken by relic hunters was almost
enough to make a change in the rel
gistered displacement of the ship
Answering a knock at the back
door of his cabin about midnight Sun
day night, Frank Todd, a well know
logger of Hoquiam, was brutally mur

steps and then robbed of over $lOO.

MANSFIELD IS DEAD
GREAT ACTOR dies AT HIS
SUMNER Home.
Most Successful Roles Include Shy
lock, Cyrano de Bergerac, Henry ",
Brutus, Beau BrummeI, DR.. JekylI
and MIR. Hyde-Home Life Ideal
Funeral Last Monday.

New London, Conn-Richard Mans
field, the actor, died recently at his
summer residence, Seven Oaks.
Richard Mansfield has for several
years been recognized as one of the
leading actors on the American stage,
making a speciality of Shakespeare, al
though appearing at times in lighter
dramas and comedies. He has sew
eral times visited the Pacific coast
and intended another trip during the
coming season. He has been in poor
health for several months and his de-
mise was not unexpected.
Richard Mansfield was born on the
island of Helgoland, May "a, 1857. He
was the son Of Madame Rudersdorff
(Mansffeld), the noted singer. He
was educated chiefly in Germany and
England and when about II years of
age came to Boston, Mass, where he
worked as a clerk in a drygoods store
and studied painting for a short time.
In 1875 he returned to England and
after several years of hard privation
engaged at length, with some success,
in comic opera. His first appearance
on the American stage was in 1882
in New York. In January, 1883, he
won a striking success as Baron
Chevrial in "a Partisan Romance" at
the Union Square theater. This was
followed by a number of modern and
classic roles which within 10 years
gained him leading place among
American actors.
Among the plays in which Mr. Mans
field has appeared are: "Dr. Jekyll
and Mr.. HYDE" Richard Ill.," pro
duced in London in 1899; Beau Brum-
nell, "The Scarlet Letter." "Shy-
lock-" arms AMI, the Man." "The
DEVILS Discipline" "Cyrano de Ber-
gerac," Henry w." Monsieur Beau
caire" and as Brutus in Julius
Caesar"
Deep study and careful elaboration
of detail characterized Mansaeld's
work, both in comedy and tragedy. In
1892 Mansfield married Beatrice
Cameron.
Was Buried Monday.
New London. Conn.-All day Sun
day the body Of Richard Mansfield
lay in coffin in the room in which
the actor died. Monday the funeral
services was held at 10 O'Clock. The
Rev. Alfred Poole Grant of st. James
Episcopal church conducted the SER
vice. By request there was no ad-
dress. The choir of st. James church
sang the hymn Lead, Kindly Light"
Following brief period, during which
the features of the dead actor were
viewed, a funeral procession was
formed for the burial place in Gardner
cemetery, which is across the street
from the Mansfield home. The hon
orary pallbearers were Commander
John Parker U. S. ~, Webster Jew
EFT, Robert Appleton, B. D. Stevens,
Roland Wilstach. Colonel A. c. Tyler,
Roland P. Measby and William P. APP
pleton.

CONE FINDS BACKING HERE
Legislator Confirmed by Omaha Dealers
in Remarks on Grain Grading.
DISPUTED As TO NEBRASKA ASSOCIATION
Local Grain Man ElabOrRtes on
Methods Employed at st. Louis
which Involve Omaha
Interests.

"Trenmore Cone told the truth in Lin
coin Thursday when he said St. Louis is
practicing a system Of false grading in or
der 10 entice Nebraska grain business away
from Omaha" said local grain man Fri
day. Though Mr.. Cone spoke OF something
about which he knew nothing when he
said Tuesday, he believed the principles of
the old Nebraska Grain Dealers associa-
ton to be still in operation In this state,
he seems to be well informed on st. Louis
inspections.
Early in the corn shipping season the
st. Louis market grades high In order to
get a big volume of business. The same
corn that would run No. 4 in Omaha runs
No. in St. Louis and occasionally a No. 2
is given Nebraska corn at a time of year
when none Of it should grade that high, on
account of the moisture there is in II.
Wheat seems to be graded a little higher
IN st. Louis all through the fall than in
Omaha. So far this looks all very we'll for
the farmer.
But here comes the rub. All at once
the ST. Louis market becomes very strict
on its inspections. The movement has
been started by high grading and all the
St. Louis people have to do is to change
their tactics and take in the money. When
the tightening up OF the inspection depart
msnts comes there are hundreds of cars IN
