EASTON SKELETON
REMAINS MYSTERY
Belief Entertained That Remains May be
ef Maggie M'Gaire, One Well
Known.
Felice Say if Skeleton is not Clara Chap
man's it Most be Maggie
M'Gnire's.
The efforts of Coroner Doten to iden
Bfy the skeleton of a woman found in
Easton two months ago have not yet
brought results. The faded and tat
tered letter bearing- the address of a
Derby woman which was found with
i the bones has resulted in no clue to
t the Identity of the woman, who lay
I down In the isolated field' and died,
fin the Judgment of the officers the
Fearch has now narrowed down to two
women who have been missing from
this city for about the period of time
the bones on " the Kaston farm have
lain bleaching.
The suspicion that the remains might
toe those of Clara Chapman, who was
well known in the city at one time and
who .figured in the sensational capture
of a band of robbers who threw a safe
from a train between this city and
tCew York, has not developed. Mrs.
Chapman was a large woman but not
tall, and the skeleton might have been
hers. Mrs. Chapman was the wife of
n bank robber who afterwards died in
a. French prison after he was detected
in a daring scheme of robbery.
Recently the belief has gained ground
among the police hat the skeleton
found in Boston is that of Maggie Mc
Guire, a mysterious woman who lived
In this city for years and whose home
end friends have always been unknown
to the police. The McGuire woman
was a mystery. She could be seen up
on the streets at almost any time of
the day or night. No one knew where
she lived. One night she was arrested
toy a police officer and brought to
toeadquarters' where she was released.
She wore spectacles and always walk-
ed at a rapid gait, looking neither to
the right nor to the left. She never
answered question unless obliged to
do so. She was always neat in ap
pearance and habitually dressed in
black. The garments which were
Haken from the blaneed bones when
(they were found are now in the pos
session of the selectmen of Easton and
(they correspond with those seen on the
f McGuire woman when she last appear
'. ed on the streets here.
She disappeared about three years
igo and has not been heard from since,
fiupt. Birmingham and several of the
policemen who remember her believe
that if the skeleton found in Easton
,s not that of Clara Chapman it is
that of Mt)g?ie McGuire.
The woman whose address was fo.und
on the faded envelope with the bones
ffcas been dead for three or four years.

Winsome Isabel Butler the skating
star who is performing on real ice at
Poli's theatre this week taught the
fair sex of New York's 400 how to skate
with grace and skill all last winter.
Being the best woman skater in the
country and desiring to interest her
sex in the sport she yielded to the en
treaties of Mrs. Irving Brokaw and
Mrs. Ernest Iselin and had a class at
the St. Nicholas rink which did more
to create the interest in ice skating
among the women of New Tork than
anything else had done for several
years. Miss Butler expressed a desire
to enter the world's skating contest
last year but the cruel men debarred
her because of her sex. She has chal
lenged all of the prominent women
skaters of this country and Canada
to contests but they have not seen fit
to risk defeat. The skating on ice is a
real novelty and is booked to run all
through the hot summer months.
It is no surprise that Pat Rooney's
musical comedy "Simple Simon Sim
ple" is taking the audiences in this
city by storm. It has broken the rec
ord for attendance in every playhouse
where it has been seen. And that is
going some.
The act that opens the show this
week is a real feature in itself. Sid
ney Baxter, Scotland's aerial cyclist
creates genuine sensations when he
rides on one wheel upon a swinging
slack wire. Besides there is his illum
inated cycle which looks like a new
kind of aerial chariot as he rides in
mid-air with the house darkened.

Everett Butterfield, former star of
the Poli Stock Co., is just as much a
favorite with the local public as ever.
His song skit is making a hit at each
performance. He has been with Bra
dy & Grlsmer's "Man of the Hour"
Company until a few weeks ago.
The automatons used by Hugh J.
Emmett, the California ventriloquist
are the most life like ever used in a
similar act in this city. Mr. Emmett
is a clever performer and outside of
his work as a ventriloquist his imita
tions of voices and the cries of ani
mals upon the violin are of the first
order.
SMITH'S
Now-a-days. as theatrical managers
are looking high and low for sensa
tional dramatic material when the
book of the day is quickly scissored
and pasted into a play, and the latest
tragic police news is manufactured in
to a melodrama Joseph and William
W. Jefferson continue on their popular
and successful way with "The Rivals,"
in which the human heart is deliciously
involved and laughs are the jolly com
panions that lead us from scene to
scene to the very last act. Nothing
meletricious nothing prurient nothing
"advanced" figures in this delightful
play; it is clean, happy and whole
some. Local theatre-goers win have
an opportunity to witness the magnif
icence and multi-phased beauties of
the acting of these histrionic artists
and will understand and appreciate it
and have the rare satisfaction of
knowing that the Jeffersons have add
ed to the gladness and gaiety of the
nation without giving the shadow of
offense to the purest minded person.
The comedy is mounted in elegant
fashion and the supporting company
will be one of the best that has ever
visited this city. This classical offer
ing comes this evening, and the thea
tre should be filled to the doors.

Complaints of Discriminations Griev
ances Before Judiciary Committee.
Hartford. April 21. The Judiciary
committee assigned for hearing yester
day afternoon seven bills relating to
telephone rates, but only two of these
developed much discussion. The first
was introduced by Represen.tive Gil
lette of Hebron and provided that no
discrimination in charges shall be
made between subscribers in the same
exchange. He said that Hebron sub
scribers are required to pay 5 cents
extra for the privilege of talking with
any subscriber in the city of Willi
mantic. The other towns in the WIIH
mantic exchange. Ashford and Will-
mgton. have the same restriction, any
subscriber being- allowed to talk with
any other subscriber in his own town
without extra charge, but being re
quired to pay 5 cents if he talks with
any one in Willimantic.
General Contracting Agent Knight of.
the Southern New England Telephone
Company made a somewhat peculiar
explanation, saying that the matter of
finance did not enter into the question
so far as the company is concerned.
The extra charge is made, he said, for
tha purpose of restricting somewhat
the use of the wires and thereby giv
ing a better service when the wires
are in use.
The second bill was one introduced
by Representative Kyle of Bethel and
arose from conditions in that borough,
which is near the city of Danbury,
where the exchange for both city and
borough is located. The rates are
higher for Bethe! than for like service
in Danbury. Up to the beginning of
the present session of the Legislature
private wire service cost $20 more in
Bethel than in Danbury. the some pro
portion holding good for the other
forms of service. The matter of a
change was taken up by the Bethel
Board of Trade and when the present
bill was prepared the telephone com--pany
cut the rate in two. making the
charge for private service in Bethel S10
more than in Danbury.
Mr. Fiench. for the telephone com
pany went into an exhaustive explana
tion, saying that the company is doing
its best for Bethel under the circum
stances. Bethel subscribers had de
clined a proposition for an exchange
in their borough with a toll charge of
5 cents for Danbury calls. He said
however, that if 200 more subscribers
should be added ill Bethel the com
pany would establish an exchange
there regardless of the wishes of Bethel
subscribers.
