THERE WERE STARS IN LEACH HOLLOW.
 One dark night recently, while spin ming through Leach Hollow on his wheel, Keith Joyce met with an accident which will, no doubt, learn the young man that if he wishes to scorch through the Hol- low, he had much better choose moon- light night.

VIOLA ALLEN.
a Prominent Actress Who Refuses All
Offers to Go Starring

Offers to Go Starring.
To the average actor or actress the Op-
portunity to become a star is the one great
hope in life. In dreams the "a sheet stands,
with the name in letters four feet high, ap-
pear nightly to torture and encourage the
victim to redoubled effort to reach the Gov
eted goal. The cases are few indeed wherein
q performer has refused an offer to aban-
don the ranks for the eminence Of star
hood. Still there are some examples Of
good hard sense among the mem bers of
the theatrical profession" 1t is proba-
bly, within bounds to say that Miss
Viola Allen hes had more opportunities to
star, with ample pecuniary backing, than
any woman on the American stage. She
has, however, steadfastly put vanity in
the back ground, to the end that she might
continue in the course long since marked
out for herself. She realizes that every
actress has limitations, and that she is no
exception to the rule. She is also sensible
enough to recognize that while she is pc
cuIiarly fitted to be leading woman she
is not perfectly adapted to the require
n1eRts of starring. And this, too, despite
the fact that Miss Aliens career would
seem to warrant a young woman ia form
ing an exalted opinion of her own abilities.
She made her debut in 1892 as Esmer-
aida at the Madison Square theater, New
York. The next season she supported
John Mccullough at the Lyceum theater,
where she was deserved favorite for her
fine representations. During the season
of 1885 and 1885 she supported SaIvini,
showing an intellectual conception of a
very high order Of the characters of Des-
denona and Parthenia. She then returned
to the Madison Square theater and did the
leading business until the season of 1887,
when she was engaged to play in Hood

Melancholy interest attached to a sale in
Pail Mall recently, says Il London journal,
when by direction of the executors, the
contents of the chambers of the late Mr..
Henry Howe, who was for years associated
with Sir Henry Irving Lyceun company,
were dispersed by auction. There were a
number of books, etchings and engrayings,
a quantity of decorative furniture and a
perfect little museum of Dresden and 9th
er china, which found ready purchasers.
Other lots of comparatively little worth
intrinsically were keenly competed for be
cause OF their history. For instance there
was gold band signet ring, set with car
neIian, presented to Mr.. Howe by Macready
on his playing Mark Antony to Macready's
Julius Caesar.
The metal was formerly excavated from
the ruins of HerculaneuIn, and the lot
passed into the possession of new owner
for "a. A 10 inch old English blue and
white ever, known as ''the Newmarket
Jug" presented to Mr.. Howe by Buck
stone, fetched 27s. Cd. Nine and a half
gUineas was bid for three walking sticks,
one with horn crutch handle once the
property of Edmund Kean and used by
him in the character of Sir Giles Over
reach, another with carnelian top, orig
inally belonging to Blackstone, and the
third formerly the property Of Ellison.
Apart from these, however, it can hardly
be said that outside prices were paid for
what may be called professional properties.

and a number of autograph letters from

We MUsT cARE ZOE THEM.
A Arrangements Must Be Made for Not
Less Than $4,000 Visitors.

Tssa thousands of people all over
Kansas who are expecting to attend the
F'All Festivities and Reunion at TOpe-
ka, September IS to October inclusive,
are asking what accommodations they
can have after they get here. 1t seems
necessary to throw open even the pri-
waite doors of the city to them that they
may have sleeping and eating places.
The matter was brought before the
Committee of Fifteen last night by Mr..
GreenWald
He said: ct think a committee
ought to be appointed to attend to this.
It is one of the most important of our
duties"
Mr.. SamuelsOn-I move that Mr. Nc
F'adden. the city clerk be appointed as
a committee of one to see to this. He
has his office here in the council cham
Der and it would be little trouble for
him to register the names, locations.
and prices of such rooms as are offer
ed.
Mai. AndersOn-This is certainly i'm
portant. At one time when there was
a big crowd here we succeeded in get
ting accommodations for 5000 stran-
gers. Lawyers and doctors threw their
carpeted offices open and wherever
there was a room that could be used it
was left unlocked and a red lantern
hung in the hallway.
Mr.. McFadden was made the regis
tering clerk and every person in town
who has a room that can be used dur
ing the festival should let him know
all about it as soon as possible.

THAT MANY LEGGED. DRAGON,
Which It viii Take 200 Men to Man
ipuIate, is Begun.

Capt. Titus, as chairman of the COM
mittee on amUsements and displays, re-
ported to the Committee of Fifteen
last night that Prof. Worrau had been
employed to give all his time to the
preparation of the dragon and other
features of the big parade Of the week
which is to take place on Thursday
night. and further that a competent
machinist, a Mr. Brubaker, had been
engaged to help him, and that the work
would begin Immediately. THE whole
business will not cost to exceed 81, 00O,
said Mr. Titus.
Mr.. DOran-That's just what the peO-
pie want. They want to know that
work is going on in earnest on the pro
ceSsiOn. There are lots of merchants
in this city who want to put floats in
the big parade, but they will not make
a move towards it because they cannot
see that something is being done.
Capt Titus-We don't want anybody
to know what is being done until the
animal and the rest of it appears on
the street. 1t is a fact that work is be-
gun, but we can't give the mystery
away and spoil the parade by having
everybody know all about it before
hand.
Mr. DOran-The Kansas City people
have been at work on their floats for
three months.
Maj. Anderson-Yes and not a soul
knows what they are doing, either.
Mr.. Titus-Thcre need be no doubt in
the minds of the business men who
want to have floats that work has been
begun, and thai everything will be on
time as advertised.
