This session will have two specific things brought to Its attention, so goes the report. One will be to make on appropriation for the state agricultu ral college, and the other to devise ways for providing the sinews of war after the appropriation Is made. It Is understood that the governor will urge the levying of an Income tax on the gross receipts of the railroads and perhaps some of the other public utility corporations. This Income tax the senate. One rumdr says that Instead of one per cent the recommendation will be for one-half of one per cent, probably with the Idea that this amount would be accepted by the senate. In the event of the extra seeslon It Is also probable that the Martin bill, Increasing the fertilizer Inspection feo to 2.1 cents per ton, will be pressed for passage. This would give tho agricul tural schools nearly double tin- amount now secured, and would go far toward putting them In fine working shape. In Pension Office $150,000 Will Be Saved By New Methods.

RICHARD MANSFIELD DEAD RICHARD MANSFIELD. Great actor who died this morn ing In New London, Conn. RICHARD MAN8FIELD, As he appeared In the character of Brutus. New London, Conn., Aug. 30.—Rich ard Mansfield, the actor, died today at hts summer home near here, though he had been broken In health for many jnontha, his sudden end was not expected. He appeared to be get ting somewhat better the last few days, hut last night he began to sink, and early today passed away, with his wife end brother Felix at hie side. The great thesplan's end was peace- All of the eccentricities which ful. have marked hla long, successful ca reer teemed to disappear In an in- •tant. He wae conscious of what was going on around him, and after a few cheerful words, dropped back on bis bed from a reclining posture and gasped his last. Utterly Broken Down. That Mansfield was doomed was well known to hie associates. He had utterly broken down under the great strain of his famous repertoire and at times was unable to go on with his Parts. Several months ago. while appearing *t Scranton, hit health gave way com pletely and he brought his season to a •udden cloee. His physicians made a statement at the time that he was •Imply suffering from nervousness and he was brought In his private car to his Riverside Drive home In this city. Grew Worse. There he continued to get worse. and after half a dozen consultations of medical experts It was decided to send him to England for a complete rest. There his eccentricities, reached their height. He refused absolutely to re main away from America, and was brought back, secretly on a boat to Boston. Then he was taken to the Adlrondacks, where he continued to grow better until It was thought safe to take him to his summer home at New London. R Is announced that no arrange ments have been made for the funeral but In all probability It will be held from his New York home. An Author and Painter. It Is not generally known that Mr. Mansfield was a poet of no mean abili ty, the author of a fantastic story, "Blown Away.” a contributor to well- known periodicals upon theatrical sub. Jects. and the author of several plays. Much of "Beau Brummel’: Is from his own pen. while he collaborated with the authors of "The Scarlet Letter,” "Monsieur" and "Don Juan." and was the reviser of the Kingsbury transla tion of "Cyrano." His water Colon, many of them gift* to friends, have a merit which would have attracted at tention to their painter had not hla lau rels Ino ther art ovsrahadowed bis skill with the brush.

Sudden Restriction on Morphine Fills Hospital. MAY BE SENT TO THE COLLEGES Many Cocaine Fiends Beg For Dose of Terrible Drug. With the death of W. F. Hare at the Grady_ Hospital Friday morning, tho authorities have been aroused to tho danger of tho situation that confronts them. His death, and that of his wife a few hours before, were directly trace able to the sudden enforcement of tho anti-narcotic law. which prohibits tho eale of morphine, coca I tic and similar drugs. Hare and hla wife had used mor phine for years. Whsn the law went Into effect they found their supply cut off nnd they attempted to relieve the craving with whisky. While they could • get morphine thGy never drank whisky, but from the number of bottles found in their room at 662 1-2 Marietta street It Is evident that they drank nearly threo gallons of whisky from the time they used tho last of tho drug on Sat urday until they were found and ta ken to tho hospital Wednesday. Mrs. Hare died within a few hours. Her husband, who woe 46 years old and | six years her Junior, had not used tha drug as long as she and there was some chance. It was thought, that hla life could bo saved. He failed to rally, however, anil died about 6 o'clock Friday, Ho did not know of his wife's death. Both carried a small amount of In surance and In addition Mr. Haro had a little grocery on Marietta street. Fu- j neral services wilt be held In Poole’s chapel Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock and they will be hurled In one grave' 111 Hollywood cemetery. Doctors Face Problem. While heartily In favor of tho anti- narcotic law, the hospital authorities' say that Its passage has brought them I face to fans with a problem not. easily solved. Most "dope" fiends seem to have lull] In a xupply 'hat lusted over Sunday, ns It was not until Monday that they began to apply at the hos- iltal for relief. Since then the number ms steadily Increased, until on Thurs day eight appeared. "You must remember that they only corns to the hospital as n last resort," said one of the physicians. "They, know that we will not give them the drug In the quantity they desire. We simply prescribe a quantity sufficient to quiet their nerves for a few hour.*.' The craving cornee back Just ns strong when tha effect of the doss wears off. "We can not tako them In ns pa tterns, either. Therefore It tins been suggested that wo apportion then* drug users among the various medical colleges for treatment.

"Nearly All Liar*.” 'On* trouble with thte from the point of practical professional value Is, how. ever, that nearly all of them are liars. Not malicious liars, but just careless with the truth. One who has used the drug for 10 yean and takes an enor mous quantity will say that he has used It only a few years and takes only. a Tsw grains a day. while one who has Just contracted tho habit will lie Ju*c os far In the other direction.

By DUDLEY GLA8S, ■With the passing of Richard Mans field the American stage loses Its fore most figure, for there aro few critics who did not Judge him tho greatest ex ponent of -the finer school of acting. Ills death brings a universal regret that he should be lost to the stage, that no more of hie splendid creations shall come to be the event of the succeed ing seasons. But Mansfield's place was In the minds of the theatergoers—never In their hearts. He won admiration, adulation—never love. There Is not the poignant grief In the land today that swept over It two year* ago when the test curtain had fallen on the be loved Jefferson. These two were the greatest of players. Mansfield the cre ator, the master of stagecraft, finished, tuperb; Jefferson, the player of but two roles, but two which will live al ways In the memory of those who loved them and the player with whom they were Inseparably connected. For Richard Mansfield lacked the In definable something that might have made him loved. He never came near, er to his audience than the footlights and there are few beyond hla Intimate Growth and Progress of the New South circle who ever knew Mansfield, the ■nnn. But this seemed to be as he wished. He was satisfied to fight his way to the top of his profession, to -compel the admiration often giver, against his will.
