GREETING.
EE-
Pathetic Description Old
World and the New.

An Italian emierant steamer. every
available foot of Its decks space crowd
ed with seaeworn passengers steamed
into New York harbor, and was max
ing its way up to North river dock.
Just In mid-stream a double-decked
ferry-boat, laden with commuters from
New Jersey suburbs of the big metro
polls, slowed up 10 allow the steamer
to cross its bows.
For a moment or two the COM
muters, most of them New York bust
ness me on the way to their offices,
stared with cool Indifference at this
shipload Of pleasant foreigners, many
of them fresh from the slavery Of the
Sicilian sulphur mines, others from
the WORKOUT, tax ridden fields Of
Salabria. In mute wonder, much as
might SO many round-eyed oxen, the
Immigrants gazed at the prosperous
looking inhabitants Of the new land to
which they had come.
Then a young man on the upper
deck Of the ferry-boat. prompted per-
haps by nothing better than a spirit Of
fun, waved a newspaper. That was
enough. Those two thousand voyage
wearied peasants, who had cut all ties
Of homs and country, who had bfaved
all the terrors 81 d trip across the big
ocean TO try their fortune in a strange
land among strange people they I'M
derstood. The careless waving Of that
newspaper meant to them a friendly
welcome from the kinsfolk of their
adoption; it meant a CHEEKY greeting
from the land of the free.
And how they did respond In an
instant the crowded decks blazed with
color, became alive with motion. A
thousand gay-hued neck-handkerchief
we're in the air. a thousand battered
hats were waving.
High. shrlil and clear lifted the Joy
Gus shouts from the crowded decks.
There were smiles and jests and laugh
ing. The New Wofld had recognized
them and greeted them in a friendly
manner. Hurrah! All was we'll now.
Across the narrow strip Of water separ-
ating the two boats leaped the enthusi-
asln. 1t spread among the commuters.
Cold Indifference gave way to good
natured interest. Brokers, merchants,
bankers. clarks, young women steno-
graphers-all caught the spirit of the
moment. Silk hats, derbies and white
handkerchiefs were waved in answer TO
the salute of the poor immigrants.
Between the two sets Of passengers, Of
course. was Still a wide social gulf, but
for the moment humanity bridged It
clear and fair.
II the immigrants went on to meet
the vexations awaiting them at Ellis
Island with cheered hearts, so several
hundred New Workers. took up the
worries Of a business day with the
vague consciousness Of having partici.
pated In a kindly act.

Delhi, India. Jan. Items of thousand
of people from the city of Delhi and from
villages far and near began gathering
at daybreak this morning on the great
plain outside the city. There they waited
patiently for the supreme announcement
of the Durbar. that King Edward was
Emperor of India. Soon the great plain
was filled with crowding masses of peo-
pie and the brightly colored clothing
of the vast throng covered the space
with gorgeous hues. The crowd on the
plain was composed largely of the COM
mon people, but among it could be seen
the retainers of the various rajahs who
had assembled for the function.
The attention of all was fixed upon
the white amphitheatre in the centre of
the plain where the announcement was
to be made. The amphitheatre was
adorned with gilded cupolas and sur
rounded by batteries, squadrons and bat
talions of the Indian army. Beyond the
amphitheatre in the distance could be
seen great numbers of elephants. camels
and horses. So vast was the multitude
that the troops appeared as mere splashes
of color. The arrival at the amphitheatre
of the Viceroy OF India, Lord Curzon OF
Kedleston, the Princes and other digna-
taries was one of the brilliant episodes
of the day. The Princes were clad in
silks and adorned with jewels and their
horses and carriages were brilliant with
trappings of gold.
The spectacle within the arena was
most striking and gorgeous. The Pathan
chiefs and the sirdars were resplendent
in brilliant raiment. Soldiers. civilians
and visitors from far distant countries
were included among those within the
amphitheatre. Upon the entrance of the
veterans of the Indian Mutiny there was
tremendous enthusiasm and as the arri-
walls marched to their places the bands
played national airs.
