VERSATILITY UNEQUALED Ills Sphcro Was Broad, Including Moth Light and Heavy Work . Now London, Conn., Aug. 30. Richard Mansfield died this morning at his homo here. His death fol lowed a long illness, which came af ter last winter's breakdown at Scranton, Pa., while playing Pero Hyacinth. During his last appear ance Mansfield's eccentricities be came so accentuated that people couldn't work' with him. Ho died at C:30 this morning, the direct cause of death being a diseased liver, but thero were many complications. Ho had been around the house since his return last week from Saranac Lake, Npw York, but three days ago a change for the worse started. Dn Allen, a local physician, said there were circumstances in the case which made recovery Impossible. Despite this fact the actor had been reported as Improving. His death is a shock to his friends. Tho most pleasant excursion that has taken place this season was given by the East Marshfield W. C. T. U., on Saturday. The launch Messenger left with thirty-five for catching Inlet where all enjoyed tho scenery going up. We were on tho anxious seat for a short time, being on tho mud flat, but Captain A. Masters, with his launch Sumner, kindly came to our rescue and wo were soon afloat and on our way again. Tho bracing air had given all a fine appetite. A de licious luncheon was soon spread on reaching the grove. Then came Robert and Jay Richard, with the car to give us an enjoyable ride of a mile to the cozy little nook of Sum ner. This was a red letter day for all tho boys. Wo had tho pleasure of sampling Mrs. Harris' splendid cheese. She being the famous cheese maker of Coos Bay having taken the blue ribbon twice at the State Fair. The largest onions we have seen grow ing In the county was at T. Boone's. Tho same should be exhibited at tho Chamber of Commerce, as well as somo American Beauty roses. Mrs. Leonard Masters gave us a hearty welcome at tho Hotel Sumner where the time was passed only too soon. Then our return trip hdme with a tired but a happy crowd, saying they had been royally entertained by the W. C. T. U., and they could go again to enjoy such an outing. ALLEGANY. I The Oregonlan in commenting up on Mansfield's death, says; "By tho death of Richard Mansfield tho Eng lish speaking world lost its most dis tinguished actor. Since Edwin Booth ho had no peer in America, since Henry Irving, none in England. Neither Booth nor Irving had a tithe of tho versatility that In Mansfield 'was little short of marvolous. "Above all else Mansfield had pro digious energy and industry. He was never satisfied with one success nor a dozen. While tho theatre golng public still clamored to seo him again in somo now role of his own creation, ho discarded it in order to tage another and better product. Ambitious, restless and proud, with highest ideals of his art and a deep sense of obligation to his vast clien tele, ho compressed Into one year as much Intellectual force as many flrst-rato actors would expend in a lifetime. And he paid the penalty. At 50, when ho should havo been in Ills prime, ho collapsed. "His mantle is too largo for anyone now before tho public. While a few actors may do Shakespeare accejta bly, whero will you look for a man who can adapt himself to that de lightful comedy "Prlnco Karl" in tho afternoon, and then give an incom parably fine performance of "Richard III" the same evening? How varied the talents of a man who on Monday night gives us Booth Tarkington's idyllic "Monsieur Beaucalro," and on Tuesday Robert Louis Stevenson's extraordinary dual personage "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." "In a man of Mansfield's com manding talent acting is not a sec ondary art. The author of "A Per sian Romance" did not create tho character of Baron Chovrlal,, and Mansfield's Beau Brummcl Is 'hot a copy of tho historical fop. And how Is so versatile a man as Mansfield to be classified? Eminent comedian,' character actor of tho romantic school or tragedian? Ho was each and all of theso. Ho was in a clags, by himself." t f ! $ $$ !$$ ! $! $!$ t $ COQUILLE. School at Allegany will commence Sept. 9th, with Miss Inez F. Bunch as teacher. Mr. F.

Miituomah Trainer, Who Accuses Kelly of Professionalism, Mado Famous By AVritcrs. half tho blrthB aro being sent to tho tlo Point, A. L. Neoly, Falrvlew, H. papers for publication. Such items E. Wilcox, McKlnloy. (Eugene Guard.) Jack King's accusation of pro fessionalism against Dan Kelly Is a case of tho greatest Ingratitude to ward tho representatives of tho Uni versity of Oregon, for tho reason that C. N. ("Pat") McArthur Is tho man to whom King must look for his re cent reputation, which has caused tho Portland newspapers to listen to his talk. Last spring McArthur, In tho Oregonian, wrote a series of articles concerning track work, in which King was constantly boosted as a great track trainer. Tho sother Portland papers took King up, and onco moro ho was boosted to n pin naclo of famo. Now that ho accuses Kelly of be ing a professional, implicating the University of Oregon, ho has gono back on tho nion of tho institution who havo dono more for him nnd his nnmo than anything else. To a largo degree "tho honors of tho track which Multnomah has cap tured Is duo to tho University of Oregon track mon and their train er, llayward, nnd their records and victories mado it posslblo for writers connected with tho college hero to make King a man of consequence In tho sporting world. Ordinarily a few words of explana tion is very apropos, at other times they are absolutely essential, and will relieve doubt and uneasiness, and sometimes great distress of mind and fear. This dissertation Is called forth by a recent Instance related to the Times, by Mrs. J. L. Berry, ad vance agent for the noted scientist who will be on the Bay this week. Mrs. Berry came from Roseburg via tho Coos Bay Wagon Road. When asked how she stood the trip she remarked, "Fine. I really enjoyed the stage trip, and so wrote my friends over at Roseburg. The scenery was just grand. But the trip from Sumner down on the boat caused mo more uneasiness and dis tress of mind than all my traveling experience." This somewhat surprised the Times man, as that Is the easiest and safest part of the route, and naturally he was desirous to know what her experience was. She continued, "Of course, now I wouldn't mind It In the least, but that night I shall never forget. Just think of It! There I was in the dead of the night, so dark and foggy you could not see a foot ahead of you. I was the sole woman passenger, and two of the men were foreigners, and the boat broken down or ashore, maybe about to drift onto the rocks and bo dashed to pieces. Oh, I toll you, I Imagined many things, and not a word of explanation did I get from anyone. If tne captain of tno boat had explained to me that he was fog bound, on the flats and that there was no danger, only a little delay, It would havo put me at ease. Know ing, as I do now, that I was as safe thero as anywhere, I would not mlad It In the least, only for the Incon venience." It Is to bo hoped that the captain of the boat will take this as a gentle reminder and in the future explain these matters to strangrs and make himself popular as a thoughtful guardian of his passengers, as he Is known to be a thoroughly reliable and most excellent young man.
