The atmosphere of the theater Is excellent.
English orchestras are made up OF
splendid musicians Only the very
highest talent is employed at the Savoy,
where they are nearly all soloiSts. This
latter feature. while good thing in many
ways, has also its disadvantage, because a
soloist may obtain "a short engagement else

KEMMLER AWAITING DEATH.
aow the Murderer Spends His Last
Days in Prison.

AUBURN. N. Y, July 2O.-At this mo-
ment Kemmler, the slayer of Lizzie Zeigler,
lies sleeping in his steel-bound cell awaiting
his doom, which must be met some time in
the week beginning Aug. 4. A reporter was
in the prison tonight and interviewed
Deputy Warden Boyle. who is in charge,
Warden Durston and Mrs. Durston being
absent from the city.
The news that Chapleau's sentence had
been commuted to life Imprisonment was a
surprise to the prison officials here. 1t was
expected that Chapleau would be the first
victim Of the new law, therefore no prepa-
rations have been made, strictly speaking, to
execute the sentence against Kemmler. The
Auburn prison officials expected TO oe aided
by the experience at Dannemora, but it
now remains for Warden Durston to kill
the first prisoner by electricity.
The dreadful electrical machinery in
cluding the chair, is not now in the death
chamber. Deputy Warden Boyle says that
all the machinery has been taken down and
carefully packed away in boxes. This
course was pursued TO evade curious visitors
who were continually Fostering the warden
to see the apparatus.
Kemmler takes his bath daily in the cham
Der, aud this is another reason why the
machinery wss removed. When Warden
Durston returns the final preparations will
be begun. Kemmler is in good health and
spirits, and appears, rs he has heretofore, un-
concerned about his impending doom.

MoLLIE RoMANUs' ROMANCE.
Fifteen Years Separation From
Mother Who Gave Her Away.

Fifteen Years Separation From a
Mother Who Gave Her Away.
FINDLAY, O., July 20.-A young lady,
for several years a resident of this city,
furnishes the details of an experience which
contains all the essential elements of a
romance. Her name is Mollie Romanus,
but up to three weeks ago she supposed her
name was Green, and this forms the basis Of
her story, which has been confirmed in
every particular
She was born in Detroit, where her father
was in comfortable circumstances, but fail
ing in business, the family removed to Co.
lumbus, o., and took rooms at a hotel
While at the hotel her mother, in a moment
of mental alteration, gave the little girl to
a woman, also guest of the house, and she
was taken away. She was then but years
old. This woman took her to Lima, and
from there to Columbus Grove, where she
was beaten, starved and told confusing sto-
ries regarding her identity until she came to
believe her name was Nita Green. Three
years ago the treatment from this woman
became unbearable, and she ran away.
coming TO this city, where she sought and
obtained employment as domestic in a kind
family.
CHANGING to hear something that con-
vinced her that she had relatives living, she
went to Columbus three weeks ago, and
going to the Waldemair hotel, was told that
her mother was dead and her father in the
far west. but that sister was employed in
the childrens home. She fastened to that
institution, and was soon overjoyed to learn
that her parents were not dead, but resi-
dents of Columbus, living ON Baltimore
street. A happy reunion folio~ we'd, and the
meeting between mother and child, after
separation of fifteen years, was pathetic In
the extreme. In the exchange of ex-
periences It was found that the mother was
tout of her head" when she gave the infant
away, aud never afterward remembered
what she had done with the child The
strangest part Of this true story is the fact
that at no time we're the mother and daugh-
ter more than sixty miles apart.

a STRANGE MANIA FOR MARRYING
Five Wives Claim Gay French-Cana-
dian Who is Under Arrest

Oldu w no Is Ou0cT arrest.
OTTAWA, July 2O.-British Columbia pa
pers received here say that Alexander
Vashon, French Canadian, was arrested
on the steamer Olympian at Seattle on
Sunday, and locked up in a cell, charged
with bigamy Vashon, from his own con-
fe, sion. has wives i'll almost all portsons of
the country. He was arrested on a COM
plaint filed by George Chisholm Of 225 Box
street, whose daughter Lizzie he married in
Minneapolis three years ago and afterward
deserted. The story of Vashon's adventures,
which are likely to cast him IN Walla
Walla for a term of years, is interesting.
Vashon was born in the city of Quebec,
and is 80 years old. When % years old he
emigrated to the United States. In 1884 he
met Miss Lizzie Stock at Wahpeton, Oak.
and, after a brief courtship, married her
After year of married happiness, the
couple parted at Helena, Mont He claims
to have secured a divorce, but his testimony
on that point is generally disbeieved. From
Helena Vashon went to Minneapolis, where
he married Lizzie Chisholm. A little over a
year ago, when the woman was about to
become mother, Vashcn left her. His
next adventure was at Pennington, Oak
where he made love to two girls, Miss Ella
Fuel and Miss Jennie Van Horn. He be-
came engaged to both, and appointed the
same day for the nuptials. His intimacy
with Miss Fuel was of a criminal nature.
He settled the matter by giving her a deed
to a pre-emption claim, and, taking Miss
Van Horn to Minneapolis. he made her, as
she supposed, his wife After few weeks
he deserted her and went to Butte.
At Butte he met Miss Clara Carroll and
married her, under the assumed name of
Alexander Merchant. Vashon lived with
wife No. two weeks. He said he had a
brother living in Moorehead, MINI. After
he deserted No. she wrote to Moorehead,
and wife No. 2 got the letter. After he de-
serted No. Vashon went to Tacoma 1t
happened that wife No. 2 settled in Seattle
at about the same time. He had desire to
see her and went to Seattle. She saw HIM
passing the house, told her father of his
presence in the city, and he was at once
arrested. Vashon tried to arrange a
reconciliation, but the Chisholm family
announce their determination to prosecute
the case.
Vashon is typical French-Canadian. He
is tall, stout and brunette. He is rather
good looking, has small black eyes, and is a
splendid talker. He denies ever having
been legally married to any but Miss Stock
and Miss Chisholm, and says that he was
divorced from the former.

of Engineer Van Devander of the Cincin-
nati jackson and Mackinaw railroad while
