5 " FLIPPER" HERE. Little Jockey Delighted Topeka THAT EXTRAORDINARY Sole Agents for Rogers, Peet & Fine Clothing. Sole Agents for Cahartt's Union-made Theater Goers. Clothes. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, 1900. Co. fff SHOE SALE He is Successfully Impersonated by Arthur Dunn. A LARGE AUDIENCE. Many People See Production of "The Runaway Girl." Popular Songs Rendered in Pleasing Manner. How to get an English jockey from his native heath, with its race horses, pad docks .and all, to far off Corsica with its darigands and Venice with its gondoliers might be a difficult task under some .conditions but. the transplanting of "Flipper," the jockey in "A Runaway "Girl." from Kngiand to the countries of brigands and canals has been accomp lished vers" easily, on the stage. -Flipper" would be just as funny if he had not been transplanted but stroll ing baud of picturesquely clad musi cians savage looking brigands, flower girls 'peasants and sabot girls could not be furnished in Old England and a gon-uolit-r coming up the Thames would be Fs out of place as a Henley regatta on the abash. Arthur Dunn, as the joek- made the trip last night on tne stage at Crawford's Opera House, from England and arrived in Corsica, where the large audience and the rest o the company had been for some time before Jds arrival. He was ludicrously funny. Flipper," nut over four feet six with i.ls bandy l-gs. box coat, riding breeches, li ggins and diamond of about a No. 12 size with his shallow little Derby hat did not have to overwork himself at al! to bring a lausih. He u inked and the tiudience tittered. He doffed his hat and they laughed. A small whistle was l.iown in the wings to announce the de-j-artui-e of tlie ocean liner from Corsica, lie remarked that the '-whistle had the asthma" and the audience actually roared." Any other person in the cist could have said the same thing and ther would not have been a ripple of laughter, but with "Flipper" it was dif lerent. James Powers was the original jockey in the piece and he made a repu tation for himself but how he could J:a.ve been funnier than Arthur Dunn is t, question that last night's audience can Iiot answer. Mr. Dunn is aided and abetted in the art of the fun mak-r by Clara Belle Jerome, as "Alice." his sweetheart, who iwas responsible for the jockey going to Corsica, to act as a Cook's tourist geide for a party of English people. The pre dicament of a jockey explaining the joints of interest of a half a dozen coun tries and speaking half a dozen lan guages when he knew but one can be imagined. .Miss Jerome and Mr. Dunn cianced and sung together in a very liieasing manner and their last turn as two little plckaninnis, singing of the poblins in the moonlight was very effec tive. John B. Park, as "Guy Stanley." the 3'nglishman. to be married to Winnifred rr-y. whom he has never seen, has a :age appearance that was pronounced "aftVeted" by the male members of the audience, but called just perfectly lovely by the female portion. But W'mnifrd lrey did not wih to marry a nftin she hud never seen ami ran away fr.-m school with ti band of itaiian singers and ran right to Corsica, where Guy Stanley was. Ftie did not know him and he did not know her. She. was civilised as an Ital ian and Guy refused lo marry Winnifred ii-nd fell in love with the Italian sing-r. And then Flipper had his trouble in act ing as chaptToiie for the loving cuple. In the end ail turned out lovely, when it was discovered that the Italian sinLeer vas the g;rl Juy was expected to marry. Ceb ste Wynn. as "Winnifred Grey," was qtial to tht- part and made a bewitching Italian, but she could scarcely be called pretty. Some of the cleverest songs in the piece fell to her and she sang them well. iTobably the best sinter in The cast was Henri Leone, the leader of the band of strolling musician. His rich, clear baritone was decidrdly pleasing. One song in the piece has traveled fas ter than the company.- That is "Listen the Ran.j," which has been sung by b:iJf the traveling musical companies and has be-n whistled for a year. BMle Trav ers sings the popular air at the begin ning of the second act. There are three encores for the song and all were used. The scer.ery and costumes added largely t the effectiveness if the pice. Miriam Uwnrn-e. who was the original Carmcncita, still sings the part and with a decidedly Knglish accent. She was plump and vivacious enough f r anvbody, even a college professor to fall in love with her. The audience was larue and nearly every one was delighted with the produc tion.

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL. Miss Marie Brooks and Miss Lillian MeFarland were the two prospective brides honored at Miss Mary Haroble ton's luncheon Thursday. Miss Ham bleton is always a charming hostess, and she usually- adds a few touches of origi nality to her affairs which are very de lightful. It was a pink luncheon, and that idea was carried out in the decorations and the different courses as well. The room was darkened and pink candles on the table and the pink-shaded incandescent lights shed a rosy glow over the sur rouudings. The centerpiece was of pink roses and maidenhair fern. The place cards Mere pen and ink drawings of Cupid in different positions, and each card contained a personal quotation which caused a deal of amuse ment. The first course was watermelon cut in the shape of individual hearts, and the ice cream was also formed in the shape of hearts. The ice course too was a novelty; it was served in tiny flower pots tied with pink ribbons, with an exquisite pink rose in the center, pre senting the appearance of having grown there. The guests Invited for the occasion were: Misa Lillian MeFarland, Miss Marie Krooks, Mrs. Carl JSTellis. Mrs. Waller Cust, Miss Pearl MeFarland. Miss Fannie Sibley, Miss Lida Bergen, Miss Virgie I'ayne, Miss Berdena Cran dell. Miss Lillian Valentine, Miss Santa Waters, Miss Fe Waters, and Miss Emily Klliott. A Dinner Party.

Was Well Known In Literary and Art Circles. A telejrram was received In Topeka this morning announcing the death of Brinton W. Woodward at Unionville, Pa. Mr. Woodward had lived In Lawrence eince 1855, and was one of the well known men of Kansas. He left his home in company with his son Chester last Saturday, apparently in good health. He went to Unionville to visit his sister, who is very sick, and was stricken with paralysis soon after he arrived. It was thought at first that his condition was not serious, but a telegram received on Tuesday announced that there was but faint hope of his re covery. Mr. Woodward was 67 years old. He was born near Unionville, Pa., on a farm adjoining that of Bayard Taylor, the author. He immigrated to Kansas in an early day and established the first drug store in the state, at Lawrence. He was prominently identified with the struggles t, ' ' X The Late Brinton 1 , $ all that At $15 we make the finest showing in the west Our $15 line is our tell us that thev are overwhelmed with comnlimp.nts on our $15 suits.

As soon as the trouble was over he again started in business, and about twenty years ago organized the wholesale drug firm of Woodward, Faxton & Co., in Kansas City. The business soon grew to be very large, and Mr. Woodward retained his connection as a member of the firm un til lSi(8, when he retired from business. At the time of his death he was still a member of the wholesale drug firm of Woodward & Co., of Lawrence, but he refrained from active participation in the business. Since he had retired from business he devoted his time to travel and literature. His only pub lished work, aside from his poems, is "Old Wine in New Bottles," being a col lection of essays and poems. Krinwood, his home in Lawrence, situ ated near the summit of University hill, is one of the most beautiful places in the state. He established an art gallery filled with magnificent paintings collected by him in his travels, and which is one of the best collections of pictures in the west. He has been prominently identified with the educational institutions of Kansas, and was for many years a re gent of the state university, in which he took an especial pride. He was also one of the organizers of the State Historical society. Mrs. Woodward and three children survive him. The children are: Mrs. T. F. Doran. of Topeka: Chester Wood ward, of Topeka; and Brinton D. Wood ward, of Lawrence. The body will be brought home and the funeral will be held at Lawrence at a time to be fixed later.
