FAMED WRITER NOW
 IN INSANE ASYLUM

PUEBLO, Colo, Jan. 31-Suffering complete mental collapse, William Glendenning, who in his youth was a famous writer of England and inti- mate of Tennyson, Gladstone and Disraeli, is today in the State Insane Asylum here, with little hope held out by physicians for his recovery. He can live but a short time, they say.
 "Unrequitted love" drove Glenden- ming, known as Little Glen," from his home in England to seek solace in the hurlyburly of American jour- nalism in Park Row, but his stay in New York was brief, and he soon drifted to the plains and hills of the West.
 For many years Glendenning, who had hobnobbed with famous British men of letters and statesmen, was familiar sight on the streets of Colo rado Springs. He wrote in that city for several years, but his condition gradually grew worse, and it was de- cided to remove him to the State hospital here.
 Glendenning was arrested so many times for drunkenness in the Springs that police officials finally gave him a clerkship at headquarters in an eff fort to kep him away from whiskey.
 Glendening was born in 1S40 near Perth, Scotland. At the age of 12 he began to write and was contribu- tor to the London News and other English and Scotch publications. He was graduated from Glasgow Uni versity with high honors and received his A. M. from Edinburgh. His thesis on the influence of Celtic on the English language was given wide recognition by British literady cir cles, and he was awarded a medal for the paper He was considered an authority on Shakespeare. All his best work was in prose,

ONCE RICH, WIFE THEATER MAN
 IS DESTITUTE

SYRACUSE, Jan. 31. - Once the mistress of a great fortune and the wife of theatrical magnate of na, tional reputation-today down and outer" penniless, friendless and with religious and racial differences form ing deep gulf between her and her stepchildren.
 That in substance is the tragic story of Mrs H. R. Jacobs, widow of the late H. R. Jacobs, once a millionaire thea ter operator and "king of vaudeville" in the early days of variety.
 Can't Get Work
 q am willing to work but they won't let me" is Mrs. Jacobs claim. q have sought work as a domestic, but they seem to feel that I, who once had a score of servants to wait upon me, am thus unsuited to wait upon others. Once Would-be employ CTS learn who I am and the offer of employment is withdrawn"
 Mrs. Jacobs took up her residence here, the native city of her husband, about year ago, explaining that she was preparing a biography of her hus- band for publication.
 Mrs. Jacobs married the erstWhile theatrical magnate some four or five
 l,i cured a few years ago. It was late-in-life romance for the aged show man: the second Mrs. Jacobs was some years his junior
 Racial Barrier Raised
 Jacobs was a Jew, and his chil- dren by his first marriage looked with disfavor upon his Gentle second bride and his December romance. Ihe second Mrs. Jacobs says that the re- ligious bar has prevented her step children from rendering her any as sistance, and the same element has stood in the way when she appealed to friends of her husband for aid.
 The rise of Jacobs in the show business was one of the miracles of the theatrical game. He started as the owner of a side show venture. He had an educated pig. While his first wife turned the barrel organ Jacobs delivered his "spier' outside the tent in true side show fashion. Then, his audience secured, he went inside and put the trained porker through it's paces.
 The Jacobs carefully hoarded their savings, and upon the money secured through the pig Jacobs built the huge fortune that he once commanded. rms followed his partnership with Proctor, whose name is still perpetuated in vaudeville.
 Ruled Variety Field
 The firm of Jacobs & Proctor, with it's theatrical holdings from Chicago to Eastern points, almost dominated the variety field at one time. The old Grand Opera House here was so christened by Jacobs, after the firm had taken it over as the Barton Opera House. This was in 1884.
 The Proctor-Jacobs chain of thea ters grew by leaps and bounds from the start in Albany and this city. AL one time the syndicate controlled no less than twenty houses, four of which were located in Chicago.
 The firm had the Corinthian at Ro- chester the Cort at Buffalo, the Cleve- land at Cleveland, as well as houses in Montreal Toronto and Newark. In Philadelphia, too, Proctor x Jacobs operated three theaters at one tiae.

Immediately and before I could

it had rained the night before

starting out for mussels.

Bunny who really was the cause
