Price,- resident-manager of the - New ; Edwin Forest Theatre," who -was Richard Mansfield's first acting manager, in speaking of Mr, Mansfield said: :- "From- the hour we set out from the Madison ' Square Theatre in 'Prince Karl' 21 years ago Mr. Mansfield was dominated i by overwhelming ambition and resistless purpose. He climbed rapidly by succes sive Z steps. His own little comedy, . 'Monsieur. his dual creation in 'Dr. Jekyl . and Mr. Hyde,' and his . production pf 'Richard III at the London Globe following our tenancy of Irving's Lyceum with 'Bean Brnmmel, gave him great im petus. He met failures firmly and the non-success of 'Nero,' 'Ten Thousand a Year, 'Don Juan and 'King: of Peru' only nerved him to greater achieve ments, which made him Amer ica's representative actor. "Mansfield was - a nervous, excitable man ' of ranidlv alter nating " moods, given to fits of morbidity and suspicion, y His early rteath yr&s a foregone con clusion. A splendid athlete, he did not conserve his vital forces. He was a disciplinarian ; to the point of being a martinet, but his aim was always artistic. Unfortunately he was given to regard his fellows ftom a wrong angle and be was subject to the delusion that mankind -was ar rayed against him. Excessive ly nervous, given to the exag- geration ot small annoyances, much of this ' due1 to heredity, his courage was superb and his sense of justice acute. .s !! There was perhaps no other man in America who could take a mixed company of meb, repre sentative in the arts of public life and entertain them at the table with such infinite courtesy, grace and tact. " Mansfield was surely no sycophant, but he' was attracted to men of high mental ity as they were drawn to him. His friends were of the best, such men as Wm Winter,- Col E. A. Duck, Gen Horace Porter and Elihu Root, and he held them. "His domestic life, which I saw develop irom his courtship, as blameless and serene Man- field was a poet. . painter, lav wright and player and excelled in every line of endeavor.1' . Past Archon T.

Brother Kendrick is a resident of Gas tonia, N. C. and the Conclave in that city is indebted to him, through bis seal and energy, for its magnificent growth. A short time ago Brother Kendrick visited his old home place in South1 Carolina, just over the boundary line of the North State, and among his friends - secured enough appli cants to form a Conclave. In memory of bis dear father it was decided to name the Conclave after him, J. M. Kendrick, and the Conclave at the present time numbers over fifty members, i Brother Kendrick is looking after . our interests in several towns in North Carolina, be sides his own home place, and through his efforts quite a num ber of ; members are being ob tained. He is endeavoring to get the consent of all the Con claves in that section of the State ' to join iin a grand rally sometime this fall, and invite several of the Supreme Officers to attend the festivities. Brother Kendrick is a. single man, but for fear that some of our young . ladies may cast a wistful eye upon him, will state that he expects to become a benedict and pnt away single blessedness for double happiness fithin the next month or two. he fair. young lady whom he will soon take as a helpmate is a resident of North Carolina. We are sure that all the members, who are acquainted with Brother Kendrick, will wish him much happiness 'and prosperity throughout his life. ...7, w I II tOOXS AND ' T h e TaylorTrotwood Mag' azine for September is just out and presents a most attractive bill of fare for ' the magazine readers who hunger for, some thing interesting and at the same ; time instructive.

HILL S HISTORY. f The Gazette is in receipt of a copy of Hill's Young People's History of North Carolina. This is the book recently adopted by the State board of education for the schools of North Carolina. : The author of this book has. during its entire preparation, had constant access to all the records of the State, and he has fully , availed himself ? of the original sources no w,. open to a student of our history. Hence the book is fresh and filled with the life given by .first-hand in formation. In addition to the author's' own most careful work, the manuscript was suggestively read by several of our State's best historians. This book will be attractive to children for two reasons: First, its simple clear style. The au thor wrote with the child and its needs in mind; 'second, the book is most profusely illus trated. No other book on North Carolina history has ever been so richly illustrated. One hun dred and eighty-two pictures, including the Lord's Propietors, nearly all our governors, many statesmen and soldiers, historic and public buildings adorn the book. Witn us full reviews, maps. questions, numbered paragraphs and simple arrangement, . the book will be a most teachable one. Messrs. Stone & Barringer, of Charlotte, are the publishers. DALLAS DOTS.
