The concert to- be given by Mrs. AL

I'm songs requiring archness, piqu-
ancy or tenderness in expression she
also commends herself by her inteilf-
gent regard for sentiment, by her just
ness In phraising and by an individu-
ality In style that are very pleasing.
These qualities were particularly no
ticeable in her spirited Interpretation
Of several compositions by Signor Pi-
rani, among which the 'Danses du Cha
teag' is a charming example Of his
originality, grace and muscicianly abil-
ity in creative work.

ing. He was heard in Liszt's arrange
ment OF Bach's Prelude and Fugue in
d minor, Schumann's Fantasia, Chop
ms Scherzo in B minor. and his own
Gavotte, Double Note Etude and Oc-
tave Etude, and in all OF them dis

Emperor OF India.

Emperor Of Indin.
Delhi, India. Jan. Tens of thou
sands Of people from the city Of Delhi
and from villages far and near began
gathering at 1aybrcak 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 crowd
Ing masses Of people, and the brightly
colored clothing of the vast throng
covered the space with gorgeous hues.
The attention Of all was fixed upon
the white amphitheater in the center
OF the plain, where the announcement
was to he made. The amphitheater
was adorned with giIded cupolas and
surrounded by batteries, squadrons and
battalions OF the Indian army. Be
yond the amphdtheater, in the distance,
could be seen great numbers of ele-
plants. camels and horses. So vast
was the multitude that the troops APP
peared as mere splashes of color.
The arrival at the amphitheater Of
the viceroy of India, Lord Curzon OF
Kedleston, and other dignitaries and
The princes was one of the brilliant
episodes OF the day. The princes were
.lad in silks and adorned with Jewels,
and their horses and carriages were
brilliant with trappings of gold. When
the viceroy reached the throne, the ma
tional anthem was played and salute
of twenty-one guns was fired.
When the spectators had resumed
their seats after the anthem, there was
a flourish of trumpets from the heralds,
and Major Maxwell, at the command
OF the viceroy, read the proclamation
opening the durbar The royal stand
ard was then raised on high, and the
imperial salute was fired. The massed
bands marched by playing, bonfires
were started by the troops outside, and
1t was announced that King Edward
was emperor of India.
The viceroy then delivered an address
and read the emperoi's message, in
which Edward pledged himself to fur
ther the interests of India. There next
followed the presentation Of Indian
princes to the viceroy, and the Duke Of
Connaught and political officers paid
homage to the sovereign. This ended
the ceremony.
