WIN SUCCESS.
Miss Lottie Bowes of Topeka Has
Flattering Offer.
ALABAMA COMPANY ENGAGE HER

To Take Part in TIL at Beautiful Play.
Miss BOwes Now Studying for Her
Debut.
Miss Lottie Bowes who is very we'll
known in Topeka and who has large
circle of friends, has been given part
with the Alabama company and has been
in Kansas City several days with the
company rehearsing her part.
Miss Bowes has had but one great am
bition in life and that was to go on the
stage. She cared about nothing else, she
talked to her friends of nothing else.
Born and brought up in Topeka she re-
ceived good education She has always
shown great dramatic ability. From the
time she was a little child her one am
bitiOn has been to become one of the
stars in the dramatic world.
Her parents opposed her ambition, but
she repeatedly told them that she had
made up her mind to go on the stage
and it was no use to combat the resolu-
ton. She was finally persuaded to wait
until the present opportunity, when they
consented that she should join the Ala
bama company which WAS in Topeka
last year, and which is one of the best
companies in the country.
Miss Bowe5 is a very pretty girl. She
is seventeen years of age. Her figure is
one that any actress might envy. Her
eyes are large and very blue, and her
head is crowned with a profusion of
blonde hair. She much resembles Della
Fox and her face is prettier. If stage
appearance means anything Miss Bowes
should succeed But in addition to this
she has more than ordinary histrionic
capability.
Very few people know that Miss Bowes

ANOTHER GOOD STORY
Told BY Gen. A. L. Williams About His
Life in Manitou.

Told BY Gen. A. L. Williams About His
Life in ManitOu.
Gen. A. L. Williams family occupy
their own cottage at Manitou.
The cottage is situated on high point
overlooking the village, and is, in fact,
higher than any house near it, command
ing an excellent view of Manitou from
its site on the side of what is known as
Agate mountain.
Near the cottage Gen. Williams had
built some time ago pretty little pa
CODA, which is delightful lookout for
tired tourists.
He spends much Of his time sitting in
this pagoda
One day not long ago, as he was con-
tentedly Willing away an hour in the
afternoon there, two couples entered.
They were young people and evidently
in this instance at least, one of the young
men was of the opinion that two times
two was company and an extra one a
crowd.
So aftea slight preliminary ''ahem,"
he addressed General Williams, saying
81 beg pardon, but this pavilion is pri-
vate property"
"Eh?" said General Williams; go. yes;
but when l built it l thought l would
not bar the public from using it so long
as the privilege ives not too much
dDUS0us
And then he calmly scanned the seen
cry with his field glass once more. while
the abashed intruders withdrew, the
girls, General Williams says, laughing
at the boys
One thing to which General Williams
objects is the seekers after fame who
carve their initials on his property, and
one day entering the pavilion just as a
young man was leaving, who of course
did not recognize him as the owner,
General Williams discovered some fresh
cut initials.
calling after the young man, he said:
"Here, you have forgotten something"
Il guess not" was the reply
80. yes, you have; you carved your
initials up here and forgot to take them
wi tn you"
The young man did not go back for
them.

AN UNFORTUNATE WOMAN.
Mrs. RiOrdan, Who Becomes Crazy
Drunk So Frequently.

Mrs. Riordan borrowed ten cents from
a policeman yesterday to add to what
money she had for ticket to St. Marys.
She seems to have changed her plans,
however, for she purchased whisky and
went on one of her horrible sprees.
Officers Aye aud Washburn arrested
her about $50 o'clock last night. She
fought and bit and scratched and swore
in manner that would make a sailor
sick with envy. Finally she was landed
in the city prison.
This morning she was too drunk to ap-
pear in court. She is a fit subject for an
asylum. She seems to be totally unable
to leave liquor alone When drunk she
is crazy. 1t requires the strength of sew
ersI officers to manage her. From her
language (bArring the profanity she
seems to have been a well educated
woman. When drunk she talks of seek
ing revenge for some imaginary wrong
that has been done her. The woman is
to be pitied.

FATTY BLINN Is GONE.
The Man Who Lifted Horses With His
Teeth Moves From Topeka.

W. Fl, ("Fatty') Blinn has removed
from North Topeka to Rossville. Every
body in North Topeka knows Mr.. Blinn,
but few know his history and that "Fatty"
was once famous in his way. The small
boy of Topeka, who knows of his ex-
ploits, has lost an idol, and the Ross
Vile youths of tender age have gained
by the transaction. Mr.. Blinn's way of
being famous was as a circus performer.
'Fatty's" chief charm to circus man
ager was the ease with which he lifted
heavy weights with his teeth. He was
the man with the ''iron jaw" When he
first ran away to join a circus, az, of
course, he did, it didn't bother him at all
to lift his salary with his teeth. He
could even beat the circus owner in the
salary raising act, but the magnate of the
sawdust ring wasn't much of star in
that line, anyway.
After young Blinn had practiced con-
siderablv. he received $3.50 per week.
Before he left the circus business he
drew 800 a week for his services and
extra act that he did not stipulate in
his contract.
Mr. Blinn was a performer for twenty
eight years. In that time he travelled
with all the large circuses. including
! Barnum's, Sells Bros, and others. He
received his largest salary with Barnum.
! He was the first man to lift horse with
his teeth and the first to put the act be-
fore the public Such things as lifting a
| barrel of water and similar feats he con-
sidered as resting"
| But the doctors told FATTY that he
would have to stop, SO he bid good bye
to the glitter of the circus ring and the
fascination of 500 salaries forever. I'm
