An Incident occurred at the Bijou lust night which afforded great amusc inent to (>e audience and at the same I time, served to accentuate the differ i ence between a sincere. Intelligent and competent actress and that kind described by one of the most widely read neW8|?por women In the South as "a spoiled, petulant, paper sport of an actmij." In referring to the conduct of] oiie "Honltn" at the same playhouse on Thanksgiving night. During one of the tensest moments of '?The Stampede,-' when Miss Idl titui Buckingham, as the Indian girl, Wanna," had the stage with Charles Henderson, who Is the John Morton of the east, a foolish little kitten wand? ered out from the wings, and. after bestowing rut Hi- pats on the footllght bulbs, ventured toward the centre of the stage, caught sight of the shadow; of Its tall, and began to give a side? splitting exhibition all Its own. Moses Stein reache? over with his violin bow toward the feline actor as far as pos? sible, trying to "shoo" it. off the stage, but hi vain. Meanwhile the- audience roared. In spite of Its honest effort to restrain its mirth, and here- Miss Buckingham proved her calibre. Sin- had seen the kitten upon Its entrance, and heurd the lirsl snicker from the audience, and, Instead of flaring up because of a spoiled scene, she kept bravely on with her work as long as possible, and then leaned against one of the property rorks, shaking with laughter, while one of the actors gravely and gently picked up the disturber and gave It tile hook. She then glided again into her character. the house Instantly g,rew quiet and respectful, and the play went on to a successful conclu? sion.

KING PROCLAIMED EMPEROR Of mom (Continued From First Pagc.1 met- and sixteen trumpeters, eight Brltlah an<| eight natives'. Halting for an Instant, they sounded another blast and then rode slowly toward the dais, where they gave a third call before saluting. The Kmperor then commanded the j herald to read the proclamation an I riounclng the coronation. The herald wheeled hie charger around and read aloud so that all could hear that i George had been crowned King Emperor. At that moment the royul I standard was unfurled from the tall I flugstaff In the centre of the arena. ] The national anthem was played by I the massed bands, and as the last notes of the music died away 101 guns boom? ed the tidings of the proclamation. Then along the never-ending line of Infantry rattled out a continuous fir? ing of blank cartridges. Cheers Prom JOO.OOO Throats. The herald retired to the entrance of the arena, sounded a further flour? ish, and the Kmperor arose from his throne and bowed on all sides. As he sat down the herald called for three I cheers for the Kmperor, and a mighty I roar burst from over 100,0O0 throats. [Natives vied with the British in their I acclamations, and the cheers within ; the ;<rena were continued by the troops j outside until they extended to the ! horUon. At the conclusion of the ceremony! Lord Hardlnge announced that the King had resolved to devote Imme? diately 50 lnlths of rupees (about 11,600,000) to the promotion of popular education In India, and that further general gifts would be made for the same purpose. He aleo announced that a half-month's pay wguld be granted to the non-commissioned officers and the men. as well as the reservists, of the British army in India, and that officers and men of the native army In India would be eligible hereafter to he awarded the Victoria cross for bravery on the field of battle. A half-month's pay was also granted to subordinate civil servants, and certain classes of prisoners were released from Jell. The greatest of Durbars ever helo In India then came to an end with the national anthem and a final burst from the silver trumpets. As the King-Emperor and Queen Empress, accompanied by Lord and Lady Hardlnge and their suites, left the amphitheatre they were cheered time and again by the crowd until they reached their tents.

Senor Enrico Caruso, whose marvelous tenor has brought him to the pinnacle of operatic fame, will be engaged to sing once In Rich? mond if the board of governors find It feasible. Caruso has never sung south of Philadelphia, for while he was scheduled to appear during the Atlanta opera season last spring, the throat trouble that for a while, threat? ened to ruin his voice prevented. At his recent appearance In the Metropoli? tan Opera House, critics agreed that he had recovered entirely the timbre and power of his voice. For a while last spring, the great tenor could not speak above a whisper. Club lias Fine Support. Riccardo Martin and Pasqualo Amato sand in last year's May Festival, but Karrar, Scluimann-Heink and Horner never appeared In Richmond. If the services of these, stars are secured, the people of this city will have the priv? ilege of hearing such a galaxy of ar? tists as is seldom or ever seen off the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House. The board fell authorized In going to such expense, Mr. Corlcy stated. In view of tile splendid sup? port given the concert by tho Rich? mond people in the past. The club already has $6,000 sub? scribed by contributing members to? ward the expenses of the coming fes? tival, wlille fully 200 additional con? tributing mom'bers will be obtained which will bring the subscribed fund to a total of ?9,000. The announcement of the joint recital by John Powell and Zimbalisl means that the matinee performance will be made the feature of the fes? tival. Such, declared Mr Corley, was the intention of the board, and no ex? pense will be spared to make, this per? formance the equal of the night con? certs. John Powell, tho talented Rich? mond boy, has just returned to this country from a tour of lOurope. While abroad his performances met witli widespread praise, and he is univer? sally acclaimed as a genius of tho tirat order. Tills will be his first appear? ance in public ln his native city slnco his return from Europe. /.Imbalist. a Russian fry birth, has been sharing honors In this country with Kuhcllk. ami uas been accorded unstinted pruise. He is at present on a tour of the United States, ana tho board of governors will make a de? termined effort to secure him.for the matinee performance in May. So much objection was raised to tho High School na a place for rehearsal on account of Its inaccessibility that It Is probable tho board will make other urrnngcro.cnts for a hall this year.
