MANSFIELD IS dead
GREAT ACTOR DIES AT HIS
SUMMER HOME.

and Mr.. 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 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
(Mansfield), the noted singer. He
was educated chiefly in Germany and
England and when about IL 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, 1885, he
won striking success as Baron
Chevrial in ga Partisan Romance" at
the Union Square theater. This was
followed by a number of modern and
classic roles which within 10 years
gained him a leading place among
American actors.
Among the plays in which Mr. Mans
field has appeared are: "Dr. JekylI
and Mr. Hyde" Richard Ill.," pro-
duced in London in 1899; Beau Brum-
NELL '"The Scarlet Letter. "Shy-
lock-" Arms and the Man." 1.-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 Mansfield s
work, both in comedy and tragedy In

Used Rooster as a Weapon

Warren Edwards, conductor on the East End line, had an exciting expert ence last night with two hold-up men at the corner of Redbank and Delta avenues.
 The "stiek-up" artists were hidden behind bushes, and as he approached they aecosted him. He was on his way home and was carrying n rooster which was to grace the Edwards table today. The death of the chicken came off, how ever, sooner than was expected, for when the highwayman told Edwards to throw up his hands, he "pasted" one of them so hard in the mouth with the fowl that the would-be robber stepped back so suddenly that he slipped and fell. Edwards then kicked him in the face and banged the other fellow over the head with the rooster. The fowl gave prolonged squawk of agony and died.
 The robbers ran and Edwards fol. lowed them, beating them over the head with the defunct rooster. The high waymen finally escaped and the rooster was in such a condition after the com bat that Warren Edwards will have hash today.--Cincinnati Enquirer.
