Why Bsyona Played Badly.
Juan Antonio Bayona played the
trombole badly the othar night at the
performance In a Madrid theater. The
soprano was alnglng and Bayona'a dis-
cordant notea disturbed her and the
audience aa well. Disturbed most or
all was the conductor of the orcbek-
trs. He demsnded sn explanation and
lot It
Aa Bayona was entering the theater
that evening his cigar fell from Its
holder. In stooping to pick upN the
rlgar hia eye fell on a newapaper clip-
ring. He picked that up also, and thia
li what he read:
A rich Spanish merchant baa juat
died In California, leaving a fortune of
$200,000,000. In bis will he appoints
his brother. Jusn Antonio Bayona,
•ole executor. Inquiries made at the
consulate only prove that Juan An-
tonio Bayona lived In Valencia until
1882 and married In Madrid In 1884,
where he died in 1901."

Hence the agitation that produced the
trouble with the trombone.
