What She Said and What She Wrote —Her Indignant Denial of the Last Story of her life. [San Francisco Chronicle.] In the Sunday Chronicle an article was published which originally appeared in the St. Louis Republican, which purpor ted to be a true history of the relations of Matilda Heron Byrne and Robert Stoe pel. Last evening, as one of the Chroni cle's reporters was sitting in the editorial rooms, Matilda Heron entered, accompa nied by her daughter, a beautiful little girl of about twelve years of age. The child’s features are peculiarly like those of her mother, and in the child one ean see the beauty that in the mother took the heart of Harry Byrne by storm. With a cheery “HOW ARE YOU SWEETHEART ?” She grasped the reporter’s hand, and said, "You see I have not forgotten you. Myself and little one have trudged down here through the dark streets to have justice done, and now you will not refuse it. Where is Mr. Bogus?” Mr. Bogus is the name of the individ ual who once before entertained Miss Heron, and whose retentive memory of her sayings so pleased her. Miss Heron was informed that he was out of the city, and then she said : “NOW FOR THE OBJECT OF THIS VISIT.” Miss Heron : I have come to ask why you published that great rambustification in to-day’s Chronicle about me. Why dinu’t you come and see me first ? eh! The reporter said that if he had thought Miss Heron would have desired to see the great rambustification, he would have been only too glad to have called on her. Miss Heron said: “Well, since you didn't call on me, I have called on you, to state that it was all untrue, and I think great injustice has been done me by the publication. If I had only been allowed to see it I would not have cared. I am trying to have another trial of my case, and this should not have been published without my seeing it first, because there are innumerable falsehoods in it. As it is it will do me a great deal of injury, and I have had no chance to refute it before it went to the world.” Reporter : Would not a statement from you, denying the truth of the matter, be as good to-morrow as it would have been to-day?” Miss Heron : That's so, Petty. You’re as bright as a dollar. By the way, sweet heart, what paper was that story publish ed in ? Reporter: The New York Weekly News published an account of your life and re lations with Mr. Stoepel, the truth of which was denied by the St. Louis Re publican, which paper published the his tory which was given in to day’s Chroni cle. A REBUKE TO OBSCURE NEWBFAPERS. Miss Heron: The New York News? I don’t know of any such paper. I don't see what right obscure papers have to use my name in that way. I’m no “Es caped Nun,” or Mrs. Fair, or an, other lecturing adventuring adventuress. I am Matilda Heron Byrne, and with my name the names of Harry Byrne, Robert Stoepel, Alex. Campbell, Ned. Carpenter and Hall McAlister are associated. I don’t want these little papers using my name and fame in that way. Do you know that, sweetheart ? MATILDA'S REVERIE AND WHAT IS BROUOHT FORTH. Here she stopped and for a few mo ments remained silent, with her eyes fixed in a meditative way in “Sweetheart’s” lace. Her hand wandered to the golden bead of her little one, and the unfortu nate, imperious woman and her beautiful child was formed a picture that once seen would always be remembered. Suddenly starting up, she asked ? “May I walk a while? I want to think.” She walked up and down the room in her old “Camille” like way for several minutes, during which she spoke not. Oc isionally she would pause and press her hand to her forehead and then resume her want, all the while muttering to herself Her next move waj to cry, “Give me a JRafon flail!) Cnti’rprisc. pen, I’ve got it,” and down she sat in the editorial chair. SJio resumed her medita tive air for a minute and then commenced writing. A gold pen was too soft for her, and the reporter handed her a steel pen. with which slie made a few strokes and cried “capital! my pet." “None of your gold pens for me. Come here, I am going to write, and I want you to stand by aud help me out." The reporter obediently took his place behind her chair, and she wrote the head ing “Against the Stream.” Miss Heron: “How’s that for a head ? Isn’t it good ? Ha! I tell you Matilda know’s what she's doing. You may beat me iu orthography, but you are nowhere when it comes to syutux and prosody. Do you know it, Pet ?” “Pet” gallantly answered that he could not otherwise than believe it, which an swer pleased the eccentric lady, and she then continued her writing, and prodneed the following : "AGAINST THE stream.” "The three columns iu to-day's Chron icle relative to me and my sad fortunes have surprised me beyond measure. As fat- as the Chronicle is concerned, I Can only admit it has but done its duty in its journalistic way iu giving to the public all statements bearing upon my extraordina ry case. Here I have nothing to complain of, nor do I complain at all- I only de sire to state, in those the saddest moments of my life, that from the meeting of Mr. Stocpel to our separation the statements as depicted by the writer in the New York Weekly News is a gross fabrication from beginning to end, the which it would be as equally a gross degradation of dignity and perversion of sell-esteem on my part to refute, as unfortunately it lias been ou Ids part to be the luckless recorder of misrepresented tacts. For my part, it harms me not, and with all my present and past well borne woes I lay the whole fabrication where it so justly belongs—at my feet. As I have said before, when wronged and undefended, I leave my case with time aud Heaven. “Matilda lleron.” Miss Heron : There now ! that’s all I have to say, and it’s as good as three col umns if you will publish it. Petty I want you to read it over to me, sweety, and we shall see how it goes. Will you read it ? MATILDA IS PLEASED WITII HER RHE TORIC. The reporter read the communication without interruption until he reached the words well borne woes, when Miss Heron cried ; “ Well borne woes I” that's fine isn’t it ? I want you to italicise that. ‘Well borne woes’ is good. Go on.” This last injuntion with ‘the tone of a queen. The reading proceeded aud the sentence “At my feet,” came in for its share of eulogy as a fine conception. The reading finished once, the great actress was not satisfied until it was read twice again. Then she arose and said:" If the Chronicle publishes that it will do justice to a poor, sad hearted woman.” Mies Heron was assured that justice would be given her, and she said cheerily, “ I know it, Pet. The Chronicle has al ways been kind to me, und I want it to do me this kindness, for what I write will be seen by wolfish eyes, read by wolfish tongues and distorted by wolfish beasts, Now then, my Pet, having said my say 1 will leave you. Ain’t you glad to get rid of me ?” Reporter ; Oh, no! we are glad to see you at any time. Miss Heron : Is that so : Well then I'll be here again. So, now, bye bye. THE REWARD OF RASHNESS.' Account of the Death of Two Adven turous Tourists in the Crater of Vesuvius. The lievista of Naples contains the fol lowing account of the loss of two gentle men in the crater of Vesuvius, who with great temerity insisted on being lowered down to the dark cavern immediately be low the orifice of the crater ; “A party was foimed to ascend Mount Vesuvius on Friday afternoon in the Caffe di Eurepa. The party consisted of two Americans, three Englishmen, and one Frenchman. On Sunday night they took carriages from the caffe for Russia, reaching there at half-past eleven r. M. Having procured horses, guides, and other necessaries, they started for the burning mountain and began the ascent, one Luigi Gurogilo lead ing as cicerone, and arrived at the base of the uppermost cone further than which horses do not go. The tourists then began the ascent over the hillocks and holders of lava until the vicinity of the crater was reached, when Messrs, James Wilcox and Francois Le Mieur, an American and a Frenchman, in sisted on being lowered down to the cav ern which is formed below the mouth of the volcano. The guides, who provide themselves with ropes for that pupose, complied with the request of the foreign ers and lowered them down. The moun tain being perfectly quite no danger was. anticipated ; but when one of the party above the crater called out to the rash ad venturer, no answers was returned. The guides growing anxious, cried, “ Oentle men, it would be better for you to hold on to the ends of the ropes.” Still the ropes remained slack, and no answer came from the sulphurons and mirky cavern below Twenty minutes passed, and the adven turers were yet silent. It was then pro posed that one of the guides should lie low ered down and hold on to the ropes until he had investigated the appearance of the cavern base. Ho had hardly entered when he cried out loudly: “Su! su! non e’e niente che una pietra strettissima!” (“Up! up I there’s nothing here but a very nar row rock!”) As far as any living person can tell the rest, the unfortunate strangers, the victims of their own imprudence, were hurled into the mysterious abysses of Mount Vesuvius. In this same month sixteen years ago, two Englishmen of birth and fortune and a French comedian committed the same terrible error. The same ambition which urged them to scale the icy heights of the Matterhorn also nerved them to search in i sidious Vesuvius while it slept, and they were either lost in some labyrinth of lava and ashes or smothered by vapor of sul phur. .
