A MANSFIELD FAILURE.

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
sttute in the German Reed entertain
ments. He was to receive fS week.
This was a splendid salary for any
young man as salaries went then or
as they stand now on the London
stage. To Mansfield it was a 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 90 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 a wardrobe, linen, boots, era
vat, a boutonniere and other IRE
proacbable appurtenances.
His friends crowded st. Georges
hall for his first appearance. 1t was
observed as he uttered the few lines
of the bradle that he was excessively
nervous When later in the evening
he sat down at the piano and struck
preliminary chord he tainted dead
away.
Mr.. Reed relieved him of his position
at once. In discharging him he said,
lyon are the most nervous man l have
ever seem" 1t was not all nervous
ness, however Mansfield had not eat
en- for three days. lie had tainted
from hunger
1t was many a year before he again
worked up to the muniiicence of IS a
week. but this pathetic incident was
later made an asset as employed by
him in an attractive little comedy of
his own writmg.-Paul Wilstach in
Scribner's.

Iodine and Liqht.

If it is necessary to use iodine for
painting the skin in medical treatment
1t is worth remembering that the paint
ing should be done in the dark or in a
red light such as is used in photogra-
ply.
If this is done and the painted por-
ton of the skin be covered without
being exposed to white light it will not
blister nor stain the flesh even If the
painting is repeated a good many
times.-New York Sun.

ADMITS ROBBINC
HIS EMPLOYER

George Waltman, son of a re-
spected family, today entered a
plea of guilty the superior court to
Systematically stealing groceries
from his employer, T. ]. Tracy,
Post street and Second avenue
The particular instance for which
Mailman was arrested was the
theft of $165 worth of groceries,
in which he was detected.
Mailman has since seen the err
ror of his way and is thoroughly
repehtent. Deputy Prosecutor D.
L. Kizer said that when his father
went to the Jail to secure his re-
lease on bond Waltman refused to
leave the place, asking that he be
permitted to stay there and take
the penalty of his sins. The father
consented and the son is still in
Jail.
Judge Hinkle said that he would
take Waltmans case under advise
ment. He will probably deal as
leniently as possible with the
young man, in order to give him a
chance to redeem himself.

TWO HOOSIERS
BEFORE COURT

Two former sons of the Hoosier
state, who had never met before,
faced the bar of justice side by side
today in Judge Hinkle's division of
the superior court. The first. Yes
Pitsford of Muncie. Ind, was charg-
ed with larceny from the person,
being accused of robbing man in
the Midget saloon.
Pitsford is a soldier and came
here a few months ago from the
barracks at Columbus, o. He ap-
peared in court in the full dress
uniform of blue with brass but'>e
which appeared a little the worse
for wear. He pleaded not guilty in
a loud tone of voice and his case
was set for trial for March II.
The other Indianian was James
Brown, arrested for stealing NOV
ing picture from Dutch Jake's
show. Brown is from Peru, Ind,
and used to travel with B. e. Wal
lace's circus. He pleaded his limo
cence and asked for counsel.

CHILD CRUSHED
BY WAGON
TEAMSTER FAILED TO SEE
LITTLE FELLOW ON BRAKE
AND KILLS HIM ALMOST IN
STANTLY.

How teamster could drive
along not noticing a child clinging
to the brake on the side of his
wagon, and also remain ignorant
of the fact that the child had lost
its hold and been crushed by the
wheels seems impossible to under
stand.
Yet this is what happened on a
street of this city and the result is
little corpse and a stricken home.
Little Harry Golfer, az years,
was crushed and almost instantly
killed beneath the wheels of a
loaded gravel wagon driven by
Edward Berg, near the lads home,
03323 Mary street. Harry slipped
from the brakebeam of the wagon
where he was riding and fell d.
rectly in front of the rear wheel,
which ground over his chest.
Berg was notified a short dis
lance away by the little victim
companion, and with the aid of
Frank Shoenberger carried the suf.
fering child to his home, where he
died before the arrival of DR.. H. Z
Schlegel Harry was the son OF
Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Golfer.
The coroner investigated and
exonerated Berg from responsible
ity.

Thomas and William Howley,
brothers, who robbed Hays hard
ware store, corner of Main and Di-

Judge Hinkle to Walla Walla for a
term of one to IA years, on a plea
of guilty.
William Howley said he had been
a miner at Butte for IA years and
came to Spokane few days before
his arrest. Being short of ready
cash he engaged the services of%is
brother and together they broke
into Hays store and stole SO re-
volvers.
The older brother, Tom Howley
said he had a wife and family liv.

the court to be as lenient with him
as it could. With good behavior
Howley, who has the appearance of
a laboring man, can regain his lib.

bonds from contractors for all
curbing and sidewalking done in

1t is often the case that contracts
for gradin, curbing and parking

board has passed a resolution that
hereafter contractors shall file a
maintenance bond for 20 per cent
of the engineers estimate of cost
to hold for two years, during which
time the contractor may be
forced to repair any defective curb
or walk installed.

II can hardly believe the press
reports of the decision of the inter
state commerce commission to be
entirely correct stated H. M.
Stephens today in speaking of the
Spokane rate case, but if they are
there is but one thing for Spokane
to do and that is to file new COM
plant and continue the batter"
Mr.. Stephens was a leading coun-
sci for the city in the rate hearing.
1.-THE reports state that reduced
rates were granted only on the arti-
cles named in the complaint as ex-
horbitant, but these were given
merely as an illustration and re-
duced rates were demanded on ev-
cry article for which higher rates
were charged to Spokane than to
the coast.
''The railroads have the right to
appeal to the circuit court of APP
peals for an injunction on the
grounds that the rates are confisca-
tory, unreasonably low, and will not
secure fair compensation, but l can
not see how the court of appeals
can find this to be fact in view OF
the enormous earnings of the rail-
roads. | doubt very much whether

an injunction will be granted. The
only way an Injunction will be is
sued will be through the supreme
court after a final hearing of the
case, according to my view of the
case.
1.-The appeal must be filed at the
head Offices of the companies inter
ested. The railroads have nothing
to gain and everything to win by
appealing and will naturally appeal.

ues is reported to have jumped rs
per cent on the announcement OF
the decision. 1t is argued that If
the low rates obtain coast firms
will necessarily establish offices in
Spokane and will compete with
local firms for the business. AS to
the ultimate result of the fight MIR.
Stephens stated that the earnings
of the railroads precluded the Sos-
sibility of the upholding of the plea
that the rates are confiscatory.
Mr.. Stephens is of the opinion
that the decision of the commission
did not name the rates mentioned
in the complaint but that general
reduction was ordered. The decis-
ion in full is expected to reach Spo-
kane either Saturday or Sunday.
