PARIS, March 1S.-A pretty Pari-
sian actress has just derived con-
ISOLATION in very substantial form for
the loss of Brazilian friend, who died
while travelling abroad on business.
She had confided her jewelry, which
Is valuable, to the gentleman in ques-
ton, who had placed it in his safe at
bank in this city. When the lady
heard the sad news, and had, as in
duty bound, shed tears over the de-
parture of the wealthy South American
from this life, she bethought her of
her necklaces, bracelets and rings, and,
as must be added, felt just a trifie un-
easy about them. When, however, she
was present, as invited, at the open
ing of the strong box, she was much
relieved at finding that everything was
in order.
So far, indeed, was her experience
from that OF the persons who assisted
at similar ceremony some time ago
at mansion situated not hundred
miles from the Arc de Triomphe that
she not only recovered the whole of
her jewelry, but found very pleasant
surprise awaiting her as we'll Among
the trfnkets were upwards OF a dozen
visiting cards in gold, with her name
engraved on each. These cards were
turned up at one end, and each corner
was pierced with a hole, through which
had been drawn a little ribbon, to
which 4 precious stone worth $4,000
was attached. The gift. therefore, rep
resented a sum of nearly $4,000. A
fiood-this time of grateful tears
greeted the agreeable discovery, and
certainly the Brazilian's delicate atten-
ton had deserved this tribute.
Alfonso in Paris
1t seems now to be decided that the
visit to Paris of King Alfonso of Spain
will take place early in May The
Spanish minister for foreign affairs,
Senior de Villa Urrutia. referring to the
revived rumors as to this journey has
confirmed the information in an inter-
view this week. The young kings
first visit outside the peninsula will
thus be to France. With regard to the
conflicting stories as to the kings
marriage, Senior de Villa Urrutia re-
peated the following remark made to
him by King Alfonso recently:
IF you are questioned on the sub
ject you may safely reply that the
stories now in circulation are false,
that the intentions imputed to me are
concocted, and that they should be
positively contradicted."
Whatever the young kings inten-
lions may be, the treaty with France
of last October is an earnest that there
will be no tendency in Spain TO forget
the lesson of the HohenZollern mar
riages. The kings visit to this cOun-
try will be followed by the. visit to
Madrid of Mons. Loubet, and the pres
ent year will thus witness the final fes-
tivities in honor Of Mons. Delcasse's
Mediterranean policy.
