THEATRICAL CHATTER

let, the first hook was used at Miners Bowery Theater in October, 1903. Tom Miner was experimenting an amateur night performance. and a would-be tenor refused to leave the stage, in spite of misses and jeers MT Miner spied in a corner an old-fash- toned crook-handled cane, and call ing Charles Guthinger, the property man, had him lash it to a long pole. MT Miner then reached out and yank- ed him. This u aled the gallery boys immensely, an,hdshe next aspir- ant had not proceeded far before a lad in the "roost" shouted get the hook" The name of the boy may never be known, but his apt express sion will live for many day. The original crude hook has been improt- ed upon, and now it is a prop" in every theater in which amateur nights are a feature.
 Fl:
 William H. Crane, the veteran actor, who is now appearing in Father and the Boys at the Empire theater, New York, has announced to many of his friends in the last few days that he has determined never to create" another role. As MT Crane is one of the few old-time stars still in harness, his retirement will be of more than usual importance, both to the public and to theatrical people. MT Crane proposes to play all next season in his present piece, which is to reopen at the Empire late in Au- gust after the summer vacation. Then he proposes to rest, though he may be seen in an occasional revival or on some special programme. MT Crane is now 63 years old, and by no means so strong a man as those who see him only in the theater might imagine. The performance of Stuart Robson and MT. Crane in "The Two Dromios" will never be forgotten. MT Robson and MT Crane separated in 1889. and since that time MT Crane has devoted himself almost entirely to the production of American plays, though he has also appeared in some reyiyals and adapt ations from such foreign works as Business Is Business" Father and the Boys" is the first marked suc- cess he has enjoyed since David Harum."

JAWB0NE IDENTIFIED.
Dentist Declares It Is That of
 Mrs. Guinness.
HELGELElN'S BODY INFERRED
Laid to Rest After Being Examined by BertiIlon Experts, Whose Figures Are Compared With Measurements of Woman's Supposed Victim.

Laporte, Ind, May 16.- 'Identifica. tion of the piece of jawbone taken from the ruins of the Gunness farm house as portion of Mrs. Belle Gun ness skull bears out most conclusiyely the contentious of the &ate regarding the identity of the bodies found in the cellar on April 2S. It is the clnching bit of evidence which should set at rest the rumors that Mrs. Gunness had es- caped."
 This statement was made by Ralph N. Smith, prosecuting attorney. It fol. lowed a report from Dr. c. r. Norton. a dentist, who found that the piece of charred bone presented characteristics which he had observed while working on the teeth of Mrs. Guinness. Only two natural teeth. cuspid on each side of the lower jaw, had remained in the woman's mouth, and the piece of bone found shows that all the teeth ex- cept the cuspids had been extracted from the jaw of the skull to which it belonged
 The first of the Guinness victims to be buried with Christian rites was bur jed by lantern light in a cemetery on the outskirts of Laporte. The corpse was that of Andrew K. Helgelein of Mansfield, S. D., the last man to meet his death in the trap to which Mrs. Guinness lured her victims.
 Body Examined by Experts.
 The body was released for burial after Coroner Mack had received the reports of Bertillon experts who have examined it and compared their find ings with figures taken from the rec ords of the Minnesota penitentiary at Saltwater. Two officials of the Michi- gan City prison performed the work. and Edward A. Evens of the Chicago police Identification bureau did similar work. Both reports were to the effect that it was the body of Helgelein.
 The search of the Guinness premises revealed little of importance. The screening of the ashes produced sey- eral additional bits of bone, but none of them is of sufficient size or well enough preserved to furnish proof of their origin. a:-
 Some relics showing that Mrs. Gun ness had made a study of surgical lore were picked up. Charred leaves of books on which sufficient print re- mained to show that the folios were devoted to anatomy were found. An other ruined book was a treatise on hypnotism. a--.'. +.

Yankee Circus Opens.
Monday Afternoon

Early next Sunday morning mem
beers Of Moslem, temple. Mystic Shrine.
will begin the work of raising the main
tent In the Light Guard armory fer
the Yankee Circus In Egypt, which
opens Monday afternoon for weeks
stay.
The task OF building a regulation
size circus ring is no small one. Fifty
loads OF dirt will be hauled TO the
armory. to make soft bedding for
the horses feet. This will be lev
eled and then covered with tan bark
and sawdust.
After that will come the task OF In
stalling the trapeze, stretching the
nets. and arranging other apparatus
for the aerial performers.
The Shriners will really take pos
session OF the armory on Saturday,
and in less than "a hours it will be
necessary TO construct booths, plat
forms. side shows, tents and All
the other paraphernalia OF a large c'F'
Gus.
While general admission tickets
have been on sale for two months, the
circus committee decided not TO open
any uptown office for the sale or re-
served seats. This decision was
reached because OF many unpleasant
experiences OF Jast year due 70
the large crowds that attended. On
several nights the police found II nee
essary to close the doors OF the az
mory long before time for the circus
TO commence. This excluded not only
many who held admission tickets, hut
also those who had bought reserved
seats for those performances at the
uptown office. To avoid this difficulty
il was decided TO limit the sale OF
reserved- seats in the armorY. Mnere
ARRANGEMENTS witt be made to accom-
modate them. This year the matinee
performances have been made special
ly attractive to the women aud chill

PITTSBURG, Jan. 14.-Lieut Clel-
and Davis, U. S. n, stationed at Wash
ington, has patented process for
hardening armor plate, which he has
sold 10 the Carnegie Steel company.
The invention will do away with the
Krupp and Harveyized processes, for
which the American manufacturers
pay large royalty, and In turn may
compel the European armor plate max
ers to pay the Carnegie Steel company
royalties for the use OF Davis inven-
ton.
The question might be raised wheth-
er a man educated by the United
States government can dispose OF to
corporation or private individual
his discoveries while In the pay OF the
government. But as army and navy
officers have done this in the past, il
Is doubtful il the question will he
raised in Lieut.. Davis case. The pat
ent. however. obviously is OF great
value to the owners.
