alike to wage payers and wage earners.
The other party disregards the inter-

A MANSFIELD FAILURE.
When the Famous Actor tainted Of
Hunger In London.

When the Famous Actor tainted Of
Hunger In London.
Mansfield was taken to the Savage
club. where his cleverness was attest
ed by the leading entertainers of Lon
don. When Corney Grain was taken
sick In the spring of 1877, Mansfield
was at once recommended as his sub
stitute in the German Reed entertain
ments. He was to receive fS a week.
This was splendid salary for any
young man as salaries went then or
as they stand now on the London
stage. To Mansfield 1t was positive
windfall.
As a member of this distinguished
little coterie of entertainers Mansfield
felt that his fortune was made. His
whole interest, attention and hope now
conferred on April 20. the night of his
debut. He was assigned the small role
of the beadle In the comedietta Char
fly Begins at Home which opened
the evening. After that he was to
change to evening dress and hold the
stage alone for half an hour after the
manner established by Corney Grain.
Every shilling he could scrape together
went for wardrobe, linen, boots, era
vat, boutonniere and other IRE
proachable appurtenances.
His friends crowded ST. Georges
hall for his first appearance. 1t was
observed as he uttered the few lines
Of the beadle that he was excessively
nervous. When later In the evening
he Shutdown at the piano and struck a
preliminary chord he tainted dead
sway.
Mr.. Reed relieved him of his position
at once. In discharging him he said,
you are the most nervous man have
ever seen" 1t was not all nervous
ness. however Mansfield had not eat
en- for three days. He had tainted
from hunger
1t was many a year before he again
worked up to the munifcence of fS a
week, but this pathetic incident was
later made an asset as employed by
him in an attractive little comedy of
his own writing.-Paul Wilstach in
Scribner's.

A FEW FACTS and FIGURES
By the Old Veteran A. Trauper.

BY consulting the following facts and
figures it is readily seen how the Re
publican party has helped and how the
Democratic party has opposed con
OCCASIONAL leglslaiions, which had to &c
with the interests OF the veterans and
their dependents.
The Arrearage Pension bill passed
Jan. 70, 1879: Democra,sfo for the bill, SO
Democrats against the bill, o. Repub
licans for the bill, 10; Republican,.
against the bill none.
The Amputation bill, to increase
rate OF pensions for loss OF limbs, pass.
ed August 4, 1886; Democrats for the
bill, IS; Democrats against the bull
81; Republicans Tor the bill, 81; Re
publlcans against the bill, none.
The Widows Arrears bill, giving ar
rears Of pensions from the death OF
their husbands to widows entitled To
pensions, passed the Senate by the fol-
lowing vote: Democrats for the bill.
Democrats against the bill, 20; Re
publieans for the bill, az; Republicans
against the bill. none.
Disability Pension bill. giving pen
SONS to all disabled soldiers and to de-
pending parents and children: Demo
Gratis tor the bill, aS; Democrats against
the bill, SO; Republicans for the bill,
no; Republicans against the bill,
none.
The above figures are all facts and
cannot be disputed. All legislation in
favor OF the old veterans has been
enacted by the Republican party, and
they are the only party TO whom the old
soldier can ever look to tor relief in
then old and declining years These
old veterans faced death and destruc-
tion IN many a hard fought battle, that
their country might live and they are
deserving of all the i,berality this glori-
GUS country may bestow upon them.
There is now less then ten thousand in
the State of New Jersey, and the final
roll call must soon be answered.

rivers and harbors, for public buildings,
for extending rural free delivery, and
all such matters. When what is called
