Mme. Ann Diss DeBar

During her talk (and she is an excellent speaker) the Madame dressed in white robes and looking quite elderly, mentioned that Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish had called upon her ; also that the widow of Robert Ingersoll, the great atheist, had written her. She said nothing of interest, excepting to claim that she is immortal.
She then told that only two living things hissed, snakes and geese. To correct her, there were some more hisses immediately from the audience, and more followed at her close which came shortly afterward, the Madame having the good sense to end her turn quickly.
Vaudeville doesn't want to hear the Madame confess herself a convict and tell what she was pinched for. Ann's troubles are her own.
