Shakespearean actor and producer died

Of two months.
The tragedian, who had suffered q
nervous breakdown, died at hts estate.
Brucewood. At his bedside were his
wife and son and the family physician,
who had been in constant attendance
for the last week, when the patient
showed signs Of sinking.
Regarded as one OF the ablest actors
OF his time in the portrayal OF roman
tic parts depicting YOUTH beauty and
the nobler traits of character, Robert
Bruce Mantell has been described a.
"the last Of an illustrious. race" In the
field of tragic drama. The critic who
thus referred TO him was speaking Of
the days when tragedians such as Edwin
Booth, Charles Kane, Henry Waliack,
John Mccullough and many others of
equal fame dominated the English-
speaking stage. ~,
Robert Mantell evinced a love for the
stage when he reached his teens. His
parents wished him TO study law. but
books held no attraction for ihf ro-
mantle youth, and at the age OF II he
was apprenticed 10 a wine merchant
near his home at Ayrshire. Scotland
Remaining In this position for I'VE years

In 1874 he left home, wandered about
the British Isles for time, and finally
landed In Boston, Mass. Failing In his
attempt 10 procure an engagement with,
the Boston Museum, he sailed for Eng

MILK SUPPLY SURE,
DR.. FOWLER'S VIEW
Discounts Threat Of Curtailment in
Retaliation for Order Excluding
Straw Kicks From Barnyards.

DR. William c, Fowler. District health
officer. announced today that he did not
view with alarm the recent threat OF
the Maryland and Virginia MIX Pro-
ducers' Association to divert q portion
OF Washington's milk supply to other
markets because Of the health depart
ment's ultimatum that 1t would en-
force rigidly after January an exist
ing regulation prohibiting straw ricks
in barnyards.
The Washington market. DIR. Fowler
said, gives the milk producers a greater
return than other markets I'm this sec
ton and for this reason there is little
likelihood that the threats will be car
ried out. Even II ,such action is re-
sorted to. he declared, steps will be
taken to develop other milk producing
centers for Washington's supply.
The anti-straw rick regulation is not
new one. DR.. Fowler pointed out. but
Its enforcement has not been vigorous.
In fairness 10 the producers. he said,
he has given them until the close Of
the current calendar year 10 remove the
straw ricks.
These straw ricks generally are COM
post heaps. the health oiYicer said. and
it Is In the interest OF a purer milk
supply for Washington that he has
ordered drastic enforcement OF the
regulation.
