London May Give Up Opera.

LONDON, March abandonment of
the summer grand opera season, which
has been a part of London social life for
a hundred years, appears certain this
year, In view OF the excessive cost and
the difficulty of obtaining good singers.
Adverse conditions in Europe, due large
~ to the war, says the Chronicle, have
resulted In the migration Of continental
singers to North and South America,
where they find plenty of engagements
and high fees.
1t is practically impossible, the news
paper adds. to make grand opera pay
because persons who formerly supported
the opera now refuse to buy tickets at
the prices necessary TO charge IL the
venture Is to be successful financially.

Napoleon's Ghosts.
Stories Of Two Strange Apparitions
Century Ago.
From The National Rcvie,o.

From the National ReVietc.
Two curious ghost stories connected
with Napoleon's death a century ago at
St Helena are told.
The first was the Emperor's vision OF
his dead wife, Josephine. Some days
before his own death he told Montholon,
who was one Of his suite: Il have just
seen my dear Josephine, but she would
not embrace me: she tore herself away
when / tried to take her in my arms.
She sat over there. where / thought l
saw her yesterday. She has not
changed always the same, always en-
tirely devoted to me. She told me that
we were about to meet once more. never
10 part again" IL was noted that her
name was the last word ne uttered when
he died.
Tho second. which Is even stranger,
is an account OF person closely resem-
bling Napoleon In appearance and ges-
ture who visited Napoleon's mother in
Rome about the very hour Of the day
when he died in ST. Helena. The
stranger spoke Of Napoleon TO her as II
he had just quilted him. and added al
this moment he is delivered from his
sufferngs; he is happy"
Napcleon's mother AT once spoke TO
those about her Of this visitor, who was
seen by three other persons in her pal
ace and search was made in Rome for
any one resembling him. without result
She herself was convinced that Il was
the wrath OF Napoleon. There was
nothing terrifying In the vision--if Il
was vision-but on the contrary Il
produced in her kind Of ecstasy She
declared that the mysterious person
was like Napoleon in voice, figure and
speech"
