It has leaked out in Paris that while motoring back from Bordeau to San Sebastian, after one of his frequent consultations with Dr. Moure, the fa mous throat specialist, Alfonso broke his Journey at Pau and patronized the local opera-house. The King quickly approved of the prima donna and an aide-de-camp was dispatched to buy a bouquet and deliver it at the stage door with the compliments of the King of Snain. To the amazement of his royal mas ter the aide returned, greatly agitated and bearing the bouquet, which had obviously been rejected. "Why has she refused It?" demanded Alfonso angrily. "I do not know that I ever heard her name before, he eon tlnued after consulting his programme. The aide departed in search of the man ager, only to return more agitated than before. "She is not singing under her own name," he stammered. "Any fool knows that Who Is she?" snapped the King, now really aroused. "Senora Paz Ferrer, your Majesty," was the reply. Then with a feeling of shame and re gret Alfonso remembered the beautiful girl, who nearly four years ago had begged vainly lor the me 01 ner lather, Francesco Ferrer, tbe famous educator and progressive leader, who was shot for complicity in the Barcelona revolu tion. The King hurriedly lert the the ater and has not since mustered up suf ficient courage to send a bouquet to an attractive star. Senora Ferrer, though a first-class singer, finds It impossible to get an engagement in Spain. a Financial statements preferred show that the Portland season of grand opera by the Chlcsgo Grand Opera Company leaves a deficit of 10.308.
