Daniel Francois Esprit Auocr, the eminent
musical composer, the author of Fra DiaFolo
and other popular operas, died at Paris on
Friday last, after a lingering illness. He was
born on January 90. 1852, at Carn, and was
therefore in his s9th year. His father de-
signed him for q mercantile life, and sent him.
while lad, into Il London colnLnS-room. He
was allowed to cultivate music as aa amateur
accomplishment Alter demonstrating his
utter unftness tor mercantile life, he removed
to Paris, selected Chernbini rs his Instructor,
and devoted himself with energy and determi-
nation TO the study OF music. After divers
failures or incomplete successes, LA Niese,'
in 1923, showed that new power in operate
comedy had arisen. In 1928 appeared la
Muette de Portici,' (otten known as "hassa.
