Clement Scott Stole the Whole

DISCOVERED BY MAGUIRE
1t Is Practically Identical With THE
Merry Widow of Thirty Years
Ago-ITheft Has Passed
Unnoticed.

Clement Scot. the Lon'ion critic, who
pauer. has ri,Ien a book viii n lie
calls THE Dram la of Yesterday and
To-Day" and the papers upon which
he is employed say it is good book,
well written and va luable as a history
of the English stage. Mr.. Scott has an
other literary prod action, one-act
drama entitled The cape Mail, when
was produced in Lon don and received
some attention both in England and
this country as cr,>ditable literary
and dramatic Droductit IN. MIR. Scott
accepted gracefully all The nice things
that were said about his play, and 1t
is doubtful if any of the dramatic ana
literary critics who reviewed the play
have vet discovered that it was one of
the most glazing literary hefts ever
brought to public notice. 1t remained
for John Mcguire of Butte to make
that discovery. A copy of M. SCOTS
Cane Mail" was a long while in
reaching Butte, but when it arrived it
Immediately fell into the hands Of Mr..
Mcguire and the latter read a few
lines of it and then closed the book and
recited the remainder from memory.
He had seen and read the story before,
in fact he had played a part in the
drama in its original form more than
Merry Widow a two-act play written
by Leicester buckingham, and first
performed at the Royal st.
James theater in London in
January, 1863. The story of The
Merry Widow was based on the
war in India. and the Cape Mall had
its foundation in the war in South
Africa. A copy of the former play was,
after a great deal of trouble, obtained
from London bookseller and was
compared with Mr.. Scotts story The
names of the author and the characters
Of the play were changed, but other
wise the two plays were found to he
identical-that is, the one-act play Of
Seott's was taken very closely from the
second act of The Merry Widow"
The story of the latter is about as
follows:
Colonel Charles Midway who does

with the British army in India, and was
wounded in the battle and captured by
the enemy. He is reported among the
dead and the news reaches his home
in England and is conveyed to his
young wife and sister, Florence Mild

news from Colonel Mildmay's mother

have slightly the better of the fight.
Two powerful elements are working in
his favor. one is his conservative course
toward Goebel and the other is the
soreness that still remains against
Owens, the fusion candidate on the
part of the Breckenridge following, as
a legacy from the famous bitter fight
in the Owens breckenridge race.

her blind mother, and the latter re-
peatedly urges Mrs. Charles Mildmay
to take the daughter to various social
events, balls, etc, which she avoids do
ing until the mother accuses her of
SelfiShnesS, and she can refuse no long
er. Her appearance at such public at-
fairs within q few DAYS after the an
nouncement of her husbands death
wins for her the title of the merry
widow.
At this point the second chapter Of
the original play and the story of

panion officer of Colonel Mildmay, re-
turns from India on a furlough and
has a packet from the dead officer to
deliver to Mrs. Midway. Upon his
arrival in England he hears the stories
about the merry widow. and in order
to give the lie to those who had told
him that in the brilliant crowd of joy
GUS Jewellers he should find the widow
of Colonel Mildmay, he looked in at the
ball of the French embassy. and found
her there. He called at the home the
next day to deliver the packet. but

The scene is interrupted by the az

questing him to prepare his wife,
