oerned In the trouble about Mrs. Kate Claxton
Lyon, the actress are given In the Dramatic

ceedinQIy attentive to Mrs. Lyon In Chicago,
and that upon going to Chicago he found that
the reports were true. He demonstrated with
his wife 10 her room at hotel, and his mother
in-hw. hearing the loud words, summoned
Stevenson TO the room. LYON ordered him out,
but being Free Masons and stevenson declaring
that there WAS nothing wrong In his relati ms
with Mrs. Lyon, there was an amicabe shaking
OF hands. Subsequently. at Milwaukee, MT.
Lyon again deemed It necessary to order Mr..
Stevenson out of his wife's room.
Mr.. Stevenson says that Mrs. Lyon was nut un-
der his charge by ner husband that Mr. Lyon
was drunk when he made the row In a Chicago
hotel. and that the idea OF dsrespect ~ Mrs.
Lyon was never eutertained Dy him.
Mr.. rnOmas Il. MOTIFS Of the Union Square
company, says that his attention WAS first at
tracted To the subject six weeks pgo, by dght
on the Union Square stage by mt. Charles
ThOrne and Mr. Stevenson about Mrs. Lyon.
He demonstrated with MIR. Stevenson, who de-
clared that he loved Mrs. Lyon deeply.
Mrs. Lyon saws that " the whole thing Is a
bu0bea." originating IN her husbands mind.
The Dramatic NclCs adds that reconciliation
has been brought ABOUT between Mr.. and Mrs.
