The crown is placed on the Emperor's
head. He takes it off and touches the
brow of the Empress with it. He then
puts it back upon It's own head. The
crown is of gold, studded with gems, a
ponderous affair.
The Empress now advances and
kneels before the Emperor. He places
upon her head crown of ivory set with
wiamOnds.
The Archbishop now holds a great
ermine mantle towards the Car and
says:
Nicholas, cover and protect thy
people as this robe covers and protects
thee"
Il will, I will, l will, God helping"
replies the Emperor, and the robe is
clasped around his neck. In the Cars
right hand the Archbishop places a
sceptre and in his left a globe. While
doing this he repeats prayer, after
which he takes a gold feather and, dip
ping it in sacred oil, touches the mouth
of the Emperor, his forehead, his nos
trils. his eyes and his ears, SO that all
he says, does, hears, thinks or sees shall
be holy.
He is crowned King and the Lord of
the Empire.
The choirs burst forth into music,
and the Emperor, rising, kisses his
wife. He then turns 70 his mother and
and kisses her. Around him come
crowding all the relatives, offering con-
gratulations and kisses. They shake
hands heartily, and the scene is so i'm
pressive that all eyes are wet within
the church.
Coming down the steps the Emperor
walks ahead, followed by his Empress.

three DAYS he has been fasting in the
nalace and has seen no one, not even
the Empress.
After breakfast the crowds begin 10
gather around the palace, and by 3
O'Clock. the hour Of setting forth, there
are many millions Of people IN the
streets. All along the curb-stones stand
soldiers. shoulder TO shoulder, with
nointed guns. and back of them stand
three double rows of armed Serfs TO re-
inforce the soldiers in case Of an attack
upon the Gar along the line.
This guard Of soldiers Is six miles
long and extends down all the side
streets as far as can be seen. II there

the students OF Moscow are given trans
portation TO their homes for fear or

Ion. at the head Of the famous red
staircase Of the palace, there appears
the Dowager Empress Dagmar, widow
~ the late Car. She is in her royal
rohes and wears her imperial crown.
SLOWLY she descends the steps. followed
nv her mobiles. court dignitarieS and
ladies and men in waiting.
Rehind her comes a beautiful parade
Of fifty pages. and behind them fifty
tnights beautifully dressed. The crowd

after them all the members OF the royal

Wales. Carl OF Denmark, the German
Emperor. the King and Queen Of Rou-
mania and all the English cousins now
So closely allied to the Russian throne.
THE PROCESSION.
All these are seated upon platforms
or in carriages and borne along in the
PROCESSION. A salute of l01 guns IS
fred and amid the greatest pandemon-
ium of cheering the Gar proceeds on
his way to the Uspenski Sober Through
three miles OF streets he parades. while
there is a continuous pealing from the
Car Kolokol, the crack king OF bells.
when the gates Of the kremlin have
been passed then comes the most bril-
liant OF all the scenes. Upon raised
trihunes leading to the church sit the
members OF the courtiers paying tribute
10 the Car. Many Of these, like the
Tartars. cannot remove their hats. and
consequently they cannot enter the
church TO see the Gar crowned. They
sre given seats Of honor on these tri-
h,ues. There are the Khiyans. Box
haraps. Armenians. Teherkessians,
Osdjaks, Samoyedes. Tartars, Mongols.

can't be perpetuated in a public place
in bronze, a cigar store Indian will do
for him.
THE actual Indian as a cigar store
figure is becoming less popular. In the
old days, when Indians prowled around
the country and tales Of Indian blood
shed were frequent, nothing so terror
lied and interested as good cigar store
Indian. But now things are different.
A touch of the human man, as we know
him, is liked better.
"The most elaborate cigar store In
dian that | have SEEM" continued this
good natured cigar Indian manufac-
turer. was one of Olney. II represent
ed Turk, and was dressed in the like
ness of Abdul Hamid. Olney's well
known connection and interest in the
Armeian question no doubt inspired the
image.
'The Olney statue was made OF wood
in the old fashioned way. In former
days all cigar store images were made
O: this material. They were carved out
of wood by hand. This carvers were
natural sculptors.'
For the benefit OF those who do not
know what natural sculptor is II
may be told that he is a man who carves
naturally. He has talent for that
kind OF work, and, without lessons OF
any kind, and without any patterns be-
fore him, he carves out OF a log OF wood
a figure that is fine enough TO stand in
front of store as sign.

This national anthem was written by
the famous Russian poet Schusowski,
and was set to music by lieutenant
of the Royal Guards about fifty years
ago.
The procession proceeds through the
cheering populace to the cathedral OF
ST. Michael, where the Car and Car
ina bow in prayer before the tombs OF
their ancestors. From the cathedral
they wend their triumphant way back
to the palace.
In the evening there will be BAN
quet, the first course of which is served
by the mobiles of the court. AS each
toast is given out guns are fired outside,
ard the banquet lasts until the twenty
four hours of the coronation are ended.
Then comes a week of feasts and
balls. At the coronation on May ~,
1888, Mr.. and Mrs. Mackay occupied The
entire first floor of the Hotel Dusaux,
and gave the grandest dinner OF the
week. The American Ambassador, who
has taken villa upon the suburbs OF
Moscow for the week, gives dinner
and ball also, and the ambassadors vie
with each other in extending courte-
sizes to the Gear and his guests.
| am told that many Americans are
expected here for the ceremonies. A
great halo OF wonder extends round
them. The gold they have and the
tales OF their generosity and richness
make them of almost as much interest
to the populace as the Car himself.
On the morning Of the 9TH Of May
the Gear, young man of only twenty
eight-his birthday is May 1S--can look
into his mirror and see a monarch
whose domains extend from the Baltic
to the Pacific through Siberia, and
from the Black Sea and Central Asia
TO the pole.

Nothing shows the sway OF popular
sentiment in this exciting campaign like
the cigar store Indian. Standing there
apparently unmoved, generation after
generation, he is supposed to be fixed as
the stars in principle and motive. But
II you watch him closely you will see
that he does change To-day this SEN
tineI standing proudly at his post bears
one uniform; tomorrow he bears an
other. To-day his sentiment is plant
i've and appealing; tomorrow it is
proud and commanding. Cigar store
Indians are changed as often as the
proprietor can afford the luxury Of a
new lieutenant.
STATUE SETS EXAMPLE.
In what is known as presidential
year" all public matters are subservient
to the one great subject of the year-the
selection Of new President. And the
cigar man enters into the political pro-
ject eagerly.
If he is very patriotic man he selects
his Own candidate and party, and he
does what he can TO serve that party.
His Indian, from being an unnamed red
man, becomes a we'll known polti-
clan, and the cigar store is the rendez-
vous Of the neighborhood among those
who are OF the same bent in politics.
Those who are. contrary minded come
also, but to jeer and TO detract, If they
can, from the beauty OF the cigar store
statue.
There are cigar dealers who can be
bought, as they have no strong personal
bent, and these dealers make a very
nice fortune Displaying the features OF
this or that candidate to an interested
world.
There Is large cigar Indian factory
in this country that makes a special
business or supplying images for cigar
stores and of meeting the popular de-
mand in every way. Recently this fac
tory has been busy getting up statues OF
great enough TO keep constant supply
of orders coming in.
A member OF this firm told an in
quiring gentleman lately that he had
had orders for twenty statues OF Whit
ney. to be used at the doors of cigar
stores. The order read TO make Whit
ney as cigar store Indian" said this
gentleman, but the fertile brain of the
maker designed something a little bit
better. 1t is no breach OF business con-
fidence, 81 will tell you about 1t.
You know the little fellow who has
stood for years outside the cigar store
where chappies coRgregate. He is a
chappie himsSlf, with his thumbs in his
waistcoat and his tile on the back Of his
head! Well, this is the fellow that was
selected for the Whitney statuel
"Ths Whitney chappie statue is made
of iron. An iron image is by far the
best to have, as it wears forever and
can never chip of or wear down at the
heel. But the iron statue is imprac-
ticable unless enough have been ordered
to make 1t worth while TO have the
moulds made. rr'ie colors that are put
on II are warranted weather-proof also:
and when they DO peel and fade, as all
colors will. they can be easily renewed
