QUEEN OF THE ARENA
Laura Lopez Captures All
Hearts in Giddy
Caracas.
B~ULLFIGHTING HERSPORT
Slayer of Seventeen Spanish Bulls
Idol Of the Gaucho
Popnlace.

Senorita Laura Lopez has come across
the water FROM Seville, Spain, to kill the
great, fierce bulls of Venezuela, writes a
Caracas correspondent. She officiated the
other day at the Circo before a tremen-
dous crowd, and the grace and finish of
her performance put to shame the efforts
of her male rivals. Such IN exhibition of
woman's pluck and skill Caracas had new
er before y.itnessed. She is the idol of the
hour
I sat near her at the fete before she had
donned the gay apparel of the ring. Adj
mirers surrounded her. Her eyes were on
the bloody scenes being enacted in eager
silence. A look of contempt was on her
face The toreadors were clumsy.
l watched her fearfully when she did
battle with a beast beside which the 9TH
ers were as farmyard COWS. She laughed
in glee. A wave os blood red banderillas,
and, presto, the sharp instruments were
affixed together in the startled creatures
neck. A mad rush at his torturer, and
then the animal lay dying on the sawdust
Earpeted floor. Senorita's sword was near
his heart. Its owner was tripping to the
exit. The audience was laundering APP
plause:
We were seated at the left of the box of
the president and of the stand of the Ma
tional Military band, which is situated
just above and in the rear of the presi-
dents box. AS fast as humanity could
crush itself into a given space "the all"
of Caracas seemed beehiving into this PAL
ace of pastime. The grand circle, which
/ learned seated 1000, was quickly filled.

vanished in the confusion. The bullfgnt

vanished in the confusion. The bullfight
was over.
1t was 9 o'clock in the evening when I
reached the theater. Directing my atten-
ton first to the occupants of the boxes,
imagine my surprise to see seated in one
of them the heroine of the bullf1ght.
There was Laura Lopez, the center of a
throng of admirers. She had DOTTED the
picturesque masculine costume of velvet,
gold and lace of the prima espada
which had won her so much admiration
in the arena and was now attired in a
magnificent creation, blazing with jewels,
her smiling oountenance and dancing eyes,
no less brilliant than her jewels, attract
ing the audience much more than the olev-
er vaudeville performance which had now
begun upon the stage.
| met her later at the hotel. On the
wall of her room swung the sword which
earlier In the day she had used so fearless
~ and dexterously in the arena. Turning
to the smiling face of it's fair owner, / was
perplexed to confound the one with the
other. A more critical examination of the
sword, and I observed engraved upon the
blade near the hilt the name" Laura Lo-
PEE, Seville, SPAIN" Observing that I
was reading the inscription, she fastened
to remark that this sword had been pre-
sented to her at the time she had killed
her first ~'toro," in her native city, Sc
vile.
.sThen today was not your debut in the
arena2'' I asked.
Eyes, on American soil, she replied.
"But wait; l have something that may
interest you"
In a moment she returned, and seating
herself by my side she opened an elaborate
s%crapbook, and as we turned its leaves we
counted the events chronicled in the news
paper clippings pasted therein. There were
II bullighting entertainments in which
she had figured as the heroine upon her
native soil.
"Do you not find bullighting exhibit
tions an amusing pastime?" she smilingly
inquired, to which l felt myself con-
strained to reply in the affirmative.
Her eyes turned to a gaudily colored OBJ
ject suspended from a mirror upon the
opposite wall.
E"That, " she exclaimed, sis a banderiIa
which did duty in the arena today. See,
the blood of the bull is still moist upon it.
"a souvenir Take it,"
Senorita Lopez is barely 80. She is well
formed and muscular and necessarily as
agile as a cat. Her face betrays no brutal
instincts. All Caracas insists that she is
beautiful.

ical regularity. He was earning only sou
q month, and how he kept up his estabs
lishments was a mystery.
After his arrest and a vain attempt to
compromise matters he was released. on
bail, appeared in a dime museum and
finally opened a saloon.
Bates made the technical defense that he
was married to Annie Harbert, the Mieh-
igan girl, before he married Julia Nc.
Carly, and therefore the latter marriage
could not be legal. Judge Horton did 0
favor. the technical plea.
The state held that Bates had been en-
gagged In the wholesale deception and mar
riage of women, and that Justice as we'll
as chivalry demanded that he should be
put out of the way.
Three ndeterminate sentences will be
imposed upon him, almost q lifetime In
the p~enitentiary.
He has never shown contrition for his
deeds, but rather appears to glory in them.
He issa man OF small stature and insignif-
icant in appearance. He received 500 .
week for his museum posing.
The closing hours in the second trial OF
Bates were as picturesque to the court att
endants as they were tedious and forebod~
ing to the prisoner. .
In the afternoon a wee lassie with a red
hood and a pair of busy hands, with moth
ing particular to amuse her, romped up
and down, and more than once climbed
into an empty chair near the prisoner and
cast shy glances at the man who, despite
his detection, could not refrain from notice
ing her. She was Ruth McCarty Bates.
Not far from Mrs. Julia McCarty Bates
sat another omar At her side was an
other little girl. She was Olive Vosburg

than her mother.

jumped the barriers of the arena and was
returned to the central arena by a side
door. Bomba entered on stills, and after
the bull had made several amusing att
tempts to charge him it was finally killed
to the entire satisfaction Of the now thor
oughly bloodthirsty crowd.
The introduction Of Senorita Laura
Lopez as an espada was the event of the
occasion. All those who doubted her abil-
ity to kill the large African bull which
had been specially imported for this ex-
hibition were pleasantly disappointed.
She advanced to the center of the arena.
A hush still as death fell over the multi
tude. All expected that some violent ac-
tion was to take place, and many feared
that her ability to kill was wanting I
glanced at her just as the crowd COM
menced to call her name, and / noticed
her face blanched before the ordeal. New
ertheless she showed no signs of fear as
she walked to the center of the arena and
calmly awaited the first charge of the
bull. Armed only with a bright colored
cloak, she advanced toward him with q
firm step. He charged the rag, and she
dexterously lodged his onslaught.
This action brought forth a round of
applause and a call for the banderillas.I A
male admirer handed down two beautiful

has some points better than that. One Is
that it has no nap to wear oil. 1t is one
of those stuffs that can be worn to a"wed-
ding or a funeral In black it shows
braiding up most beautifully. This season
| there are about 80 different shades and

reaux is another prime f~avorite, especially
in granite weave, and it is a sterling stuff

above it, making a strong and compact

to crimp it into the FUCKERS which give it
the name. The checks by this process
seem to merge into each other in a de-
lightful vagueness. These mixed crepons
are very novel; but, though all black, are
by far the most elegant. There are cotA
ton, wool and silk crepons. / think the
wool ones are the most refined, while the
silk is rather more snowy. The cotton
ones in delicate colors are exceedingly
pretty, particularly the beige, fawn and
old rose, also the gray. Sometimes where
there is a ground of one of these tints
there is a barred plaid Of green or pink,
and as the lines are always broken by the
crinkled effect it is very charming.
Among the cottons l find ginghams that
reproduce the stripes and plaids of the silks
very closely, but the plaids are mostly for
shirt waists. Indigo blue is one OF the ia
voritc colors for shirt waists and blouses
for common wear. Turkey red oil boiled,
india and chintz all "oil boiled" what
ever that means (but | think it means ex-
~ceptionally fast c~olors) are among the new

Passing by a famous dry goods store to-
day, / heard one lady say to another: II
do wish it was against the law to make
such displays of lovely things in the win
dows. I go home every time I see them
and make myself and every n around
me miserable because Icannot buy them"
Thinking it over, | wonder if more than
one woman does no feel the same way.
The new silks, muslins, laces and made
up garments are SO beautiful that it is
not a sin for a beauty loving person to
want them. che sin of c~ovetousness is
doubtless a reafone, but if the storekeep-
ers will persist in putting their prettiest
