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.
