ACCORDING to cable dispatch Madame Patti
has refused to accede to the request of the eccen
trio King of Bavaria, who desired her to give
two operate performances with himself as sole
auditor. The prima donna states, as a reason for
the refusal, that it would brighten her to sing on
an empty stage. Size suggests, however, that if
he will fill the theater with soldiers it will be
satisfactory to himself. and that she will give
the performances for his benefit insured by the
sight of an audience against failure. This state
ment of the madame, with the polite fctions
brushed away. means that she is simply afraid to
be left alone with crazy man, even though he
be king, and that she doesn't want large audi
ence as preventive Of stage fright so much
as to protect herself in case of emergency.

But the meanes5 man is that old
money sharp wSth long old bills and
teeth like an alligator, that pushes a
poor debtor to- the wall and brushes
the life out of him and never leavesa
greasy spot. Talk about an honest
man starving to death; they won't
