Prospective Alteration in odd Fellows
Block

A superficial examination of Odd Eel.
lows block, near Milestone bridge has
been made this week by Dwight smith of
Greenfield, Mass, the carpenter, at the re-
quest of the trustees of the lodge. The
Odd Fellows are considering the advisable
ity of adding another story to the block
with a view TO using ii as hall, as thew
pay now In rent the interest on $40, 900 for
the hall which they occupy. Mr.. Smith
will make report soon, and some action
is likely TO be taken then. The founda-
ton of the building, according to Mr..
Smiths idea, is strong enough to support
another story, but there is some doubt as
to whether the walls of the third story
could carry another story with the
strain which would be thrown upon
them during dances and large gath.
erings. The walls of the third story are
eight inches thick, four inches less in
thickness than the walls of the second
story. 1t is believed, however, that thew
could be strengthened sufficiently. If no
additional story is built the question will
probably be considered as to whether if
would be profitable to convert the third
story, now divided into two tenements
into a hall.

AL q. Fields MInstreIs Coming Next
Wednesday, Feb. 2.

The Elmira, N. Y, Daily Advertiser of
Jan. 20 had the following in regard to the
company which will appear at the Audito-
rum in Brattleboro next Wednesday even
ing, Feb. z:
II was great audience that gathered in
the Lyceum theatre last night for an even
ing with the AL. G. Field Minstrel COM
pany. The size of the house was matched
by the enthusiasm occasioned by the excel!
lent program presented. The performances
of various sorts were all "warm and the
crowd could hardly get enough of them
The hrst part, commonly known as the clio,
was really sparkling with novelties of wit
and delightful with bits of song and dance
under the skillful guidance of our own
Incompatible Oar" Quinlan as interloc-
utor " The Recruiting Station" made
hit. Everharps juggling exhibition was
interesting. The Terpsichorean quar-
tet " was very popular feature. Harry
Skunk in monologue was simply unsur-
passable. The Faust family gave a fine
exhibition of work in statuary posing.
The Californian pastime was rich and the
" Mysterious Hotel" completed an evening
OF the real old-fashioned thing in min
strelsy. 1t is hardly necessary to add that
the costuming was magnificent after the
imperial fashion of the Field company.
The setting at the opening of the fun was
superb An admirable orchestra furnished
the music and the entire performance was
OF the highest class in minstrelsy.

Robinson Opera Company for the
Week Of Feb. ID

The Robinson Opera company. which
won an excellent reputation when PLAYING
three engagements here year ago, will re-.
turn for the entire week beginning Mon.
day, Feb. II, with the following list of at
fractions: "Monday, "Said Pasha." Tines
day, ERA Diavalo;" Wednesday, "Two
Vagabonds;" Wednesday matinee. "Billie
Taylor" Thursday, "Grand Duchess -
Friday, Mauritania" Saturday, "Boccac.
cio;" and Saturday matinee, HBohemian
Girl" Frank Nelson, baritone. and Ian
ra Clement, prima donna, who were the
nnest soloists last year, are with the com
pshY now Recent engagements have
been played at ST. Adams, Burlington and
Claremont. The company is at Rutland
TINS week, and next week will be in Fitch
burg.
The Burlington Free Press of Jan. o
said: The Robinson Opera company, who
made such favorable impression Ia this
city last April, opened a weeks engage
ment at the Howard Opera House last
evening, presenting Aubers romantic op-
era, Fra Diavolo, to an audience which
nlled the house. The beautiful rather than
catchy music of the opera was finely sung
by the principals, led by Frank d. Nelson
and Miss Laura Clement, and by we'll
drilled chorus. Between the acts there
were some moving pictures of novel char
acter and finely presented, some illustrated
songs and an intricate march by dozen of
the chorus girls. Either the opera or the
specialties would warrant a much higher
price than that charged for the best seats
In the house and the theatre should be 6lled
at every performance.

The revelations at Montreal unfold a
mystery within a mystery. There are
many people who do not believe that the
visit of Miss O'Leary to the hospital at
Montreal proved anything. Miss O'Leary
did not see the woman who went from
Brattleboro to the Mercy hospital, but
only some clothes which might have be-
longed to some other patient The fact
remains that some woman whose descrip-
ton, as given by Conductor Parsons. re-
sembles that of Miss Ayers left Brattleboro
for Montreal the night following Miss
Ayers's disappearance. At the Mercy hos
pltal Miss O'Leary was told that this wom-
an vas a French servant girl.
Nobody has given the friends of the
Ayers family or the authorities any infor-
nation to relieve their suspense or TO sat
isty them that the woman was not Miss
Ayers, except such information as was
brought by Miss O'Leary, and so far as
known the woman has not been identified
When Miss Ayers returned from her
visit to California Miss OLeary gave her
S0O In gold. No trace has been found of
the money.
The fact that Miss Ayers left her money.
watch, Jewelry and bank books, while giving
some foundation for the theory of suicide
proves nothing. They may have been left
FOR the very purpose of indicating suicide
and thus avoiding careful watching of
the trains. Ii Miss Ayers wished to leave
town secretly she might have waited over
day in order to throw the officers further
off the track.
All this, of course, is purely speculative.
and is not offered as an attempt to prove
that the woman traced from Brattleboro
to Montreal is Miss Ayers, but in the alb
sence of proof in support of any theory
these circumstances are interesting. Iden-
LITIGATION of the woman who went To
Montreal ought not to be difficult. and il
would seem to be well for the officers and
Miss Ayers's parents to know who this
woman is, even If there are reasons for
Keeping the public in ignorance of her
name.

MYSTERY UNSOLVED,
Important Clue In the Mary Ayers
Case Run Down.

woman from BrsttlebOro, Resenbl e
Miss Ayers, Found in "A Hospital In
Montreal 80 other Clues Are Being
Prosecuted.
The only clue in the case of the disap-
pearance of Miss Mary K. Ayers which at
any time has given promise OF a solution
of the mystery, aside from those connected
with the theory of suicide by drowning,
has been run down this week, and the
mystery is as inexplicable now as ii was
the minute Miss Ayers's parents began to
wonder why she did not return after leav-
ing home on the night Of Jan. 10.
The Phoenix stated last week that a clue
was being quietly, but vigorously prose
cuted. This clue was furnished by Con-
ductor Parsons of the Pullman division of
Conductor Caldwelps night train north at
1910 Conductor Parsons stated when
questioned by Deputy Sheriff Mcclure that
a woman answering very closely the de-
scription of Miss Ayers got into one of the
sleeping cars in that train Thursday night,
the night following the disappearance of
Miss Ayers, and that she paid her fare in
cash to Montreal. Mr. Mcclure had his
doubts, but he looked upon the informa-
ton as fav rable. II was also reasoned
that Miss Ayers might have thought it
wise to have remained concealed in Brat
tleboro the day following her Disappearance
in the hope Of throwing people off the trail
and then have left on the night train.
1t was resolved to follow up the clue,
and the matter was placed in the hands Uf
All experienced detective in Montreal.
The detective found a hack driver who re-
membered having taken woman answer
ing the description given him to the Mercy
hospital. Thither the detective went, but
he was refused admission, which strength
ened his belief that Miss Ayers was there
lie conferred with the officials Of the in
stitution, but without success. Then he
notified Mr.. Mcclure Of the result of bis
efforts, and on Sunday night Miss Eliza
beth O'Leary, aunt of Miss Ayers. went to
Montreal, taking with her a letter of intro
duction from Rev. Father Patrick Gun
ningham.
Miss O'Leary explained the situation TO
the officials, and they gave her permission
to enter the institution, but she was not
allowed TO see the woman. The woman's
clothes were shown her, however, and
minute description was given her which
proved to her that the woman was not
Miss Ayers Miss O'Leary telegraphed
the result of her visit Monday night and
returned 70 Brattleboro Tuesday, after 90
ing through one or two other institutions
in Montreal. Other clues of similar ma
ture are being followed, but none of them
is nearly as promising as was the one
given by Conductor Parsons. Miss Ayers's
parents still believe that their daughter is
alive.
