many of the friends of Miss Nellis who
have not had an opportunity of hearing
her since her return She plays with
remarkable ease. and the delicacy and
magnetism of her touch holds the undl-
vided attention of her hearers. Her
finest number was the two selections by
Moszkowski. Poems de Mai and
dedicated to Miss Nellis.
Miss Nellis studied with the great
composer for some time, and her in
depreciation of this number was even
responded to an encore. and closed by
playing ''Liebes Lied"> by Liszt, by re-
quest of a number of the guests.
The last number was not ON the pro
gramme, but it was a treat to the
guests; it was a vocal solo by Mr..
FRANKLIN Hunt, "Oh, that We Two were
Maying," by Nevin, to which he gave an
encore. Every number on the pro-
were several encores, but when the pro-
gramme was completed it left the hear
ers wishing for more.
On the front OF the programmes was
dainty little halftone picture of Miss
Nellis, taken from one of her most at
ractive Paris photographs. The pro-
gramme was as follows:

QUEEN is GREATLY DISTURBED.

Queen Alexandra is greatly disturbed. She is reported to be
nervous almost to the point of breaking down, but she has thus far
succeeded in being more of a comfort than a care to the other mem
.bers of the royal household.
Lord Salisbury, in the House of Lords, conveyed the cheering
information to the peers that the surgeons who performed the
operation and are in attendance upon His Majesty entertain the
most satisfactory views in regard tc his progress.
But he admitted that for three or more days at least there must
be uncertainty.
'There is this consolation, y he said, "that matters could hardly
have gone better"
The Prince was at the bedside of His Majesty and remained
there until 4.3O o'clock this afternoon, when he left with the
Princess.
Other members of the royal family are in apartments near by,
in readiness to attend should the surgeons send word that there is
likely to be a fatal termination to the maladv of His Majesty.
Many of the special ambassadors to the coronation called at
the palace this afternoon. Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, with Lieut. Col. Sir
Fleetwood Edwards, his special attendant, was among the first to
leave his card

DETAILS OF THE OPERATION.

De NTCS OF TFE UPEHE1TON'
The Lancet says the operation was performed by Sir Frederick
Treves, that the anaesthetic was administered by DR.. Frederic
William Hewitt, ~anaesthetist to His Majesty.
1t adds that the treatment was borne we'll, His Majesty re-
covering consciousness without any ill effect. No complications
attended the operation. A large abscess was found and evacuated.
London will not sleep tonight-nor will England, for that
matter. The fear that ere dawn Edward VII. will have passed
away is universal.
At dark the streets were crowded with anxious subjects Of the
royal sufferer.
Coronation fetes were declared of, and few sought the thea
tres. On every hand is voiced the fear that the advanced age and
complicated infrmities of the King made it improbable that the
statement of the Duke of Fife; that the respiration and pulse of
His Majesty are normal, tells the whole truth.

LANDED A SHARK

Especial to News and Observer.)
Morehead City, N. c., July 25.-The
largest shark that was ever caught in
these waters was today landed by Mr..
Russell ]. Coles, of Danvflle, Va, with
a rod and reel after a most desperate
fight, and before the shark was finally
killed he was shot twenty times with a
heavy revolver. Mr.. Coles used 600 feet
of number thirty-six Cuttyhunk line on
a heavy tarpoon reel with short trolling
rod and his boatmen had to hold him in
the boat when he was trying to check
the fierce rushes of the shark.
After the shark was killed six men
were unable to lift him from the water,
and he was finally hauled up by block
and tackle after several failures, as his
great weight broke the first chain that
was used.
The shark is twelve and one half feet
long and his weight estimated to be
over 200 pounds.
DR.. Milligan, of the Government Fish
Commission boat Fish Hawk" says
that. he has fished all over the world,
and that he does not believe that as
heavy fish as this was ever caught on
rod and reel in the world before
Mr.. Coles is justly proud of his great
catch and has had him photographed
and will preserve his skin.
