Episcopal Sunday school.

On Wednesday, the 9th inst, the
Episcopal Sunday school will have
a Moonlight Lawn Party at Mrs.
Ellen Bells, on West Barraque street.
1t was impossible to announce this
party Sunday, as il had not been de-
ternlined upon Notices have been
sent out, but no invitations. All of
the Sunday school, and ali those in
terested i'll the Sunday school, are
expected to come. The children may
bring their parents with them.
This party will be given to the
Sunday school instead OF picnic.
Mrs. Bells yard is eminently suited
for this purpose, and the large trees
will prevent dampness. The yard
will be lighted by nature and art.
Refreshments will be served, aud 1t
is hoped nothing will mar the pleas
ure OF he occasion. 1t is the desire
of the Sunday school officials to in
crease the interest in the Sunday
school. and so all invited should
ca,ae and have a good time.

A. Mccoy from the signal service
department at Little Rock at 1880
this morning stated that the gauge
at that point showed the Arkansas

were slowly receding. As there have
been no heavy rains at up river

A BATTLE ROYAL
Being Fought Today Between the
Gold and Silver Men of
Cook County.

CHICAGO, H., May 25.-The Dem
ocratic primaries being held today
to select delegates to the Cook coun-
ty convention are in the nature of a
battle royal between the silver and
gold wings of the party, though in
reality the bone of con tention is not
the Is to issue, but the question
of the control OF the Cook county
organization. The party machinery,
wheels, gearing and all, &c gsaer the
domination of the silver men to such
an extent that the honest money
Democrats, under the leadership of
Senator John NJ. Palmer, General
Black and others, entertain a grow
ing fear that they will stand little
show in the approaching State con
vention unless they can speedily
land a few body blows on the silver
ties. With this end in view they
have already proceeded to build up a
new State organization to Offset the
schemes of Altgeld, Henrichsen and
the silver element. The proposition
to ignore today's primaries and pre-
pare to put separate State ticket
in the field with Gen. John B. Black
as tic candidate for Governor is
growing in favor among the gold
standard men and a formal declara-
ton of war against the Cook county
managers is looked for

THE CEREMONIES BRIL-
LIANT AND ELABORATE.
A Magnificent Display Of Roy
atty and Wealth Beyond All
Precedent-rhe Most SUI
perb Event in Modern
History.

MOSCOW. May 26.-Without the
slightest hitch or jar, Nicholas II
and his lovely consort today assumed
the insignia OF imperial power and
every loyal Muscovite from the Baltic
to the straits OF the Behring is
celebrating the coronation, while
the scene on the streets OF Moscow
defies description. Never since the
gala days OF ancient Rome has the
world seen such a gorgeous and
imposing spectacle, and it is doubt
full if the present generation will
have the opportunity OF witnessing
such another. Foreign princes ard
ambassadors were awed by the
spectacle, while Emirs, khans and
Sultans, familiar with the glitter
and splendors OF the East, stood in
open-mouthed wonder stupifed at
the lavish display of wealth and
magnilieence by the "Great White
Gar" 1t was indeed fitting
sequel to the state pageant OF Thurs
day

THE CEREAfoNI $.

The critical moment had arrived.
After receiving the cross and holy
water from the clergy and duly bow
ing before the altar and kissing the
sacred images, their Maiesties as
cended the dais and at the request of
the Metropolitan of Noygorod the
Gar read aloud in a firm voice the
Orthodox Greed. The singing of the
choir was hushed, the bells ceased
ringing, the booming of the cannon
was stilled, and the Gar dOnned the
imperial mantle, presented to him on
two cushions, and then bowed while
the Metropolitan Of I<iefi said The
blessings of the Holy Ghost be with
thee, amen!" and the other arehbish-
ops repeated the words in sotto
voice. Amidst the most impressive
silence the Metropolitan OF Novgo-
rod presented the crown to the Gar,
which he himself placed on his head,
and taking his scepter in his right
hand his orb in his left, he seated him
self on his throne, the act being an
nounced to the outside world by the
thunder Of artillery
THE CROWN AND THRONES.
The throne Of the Gar was the
carved ivory one OF Alexis Foodoro-
witch. while that Of the Czarina was
the silver, gilt and ieweled one OF
Alexis Mikhailowitch The crown
used by the Gar was that known as
Monomaehus Shapkan, adorned with
the most superb jewels in the world.
In outline it resembles the dome-like
mitre of the patriarch. All the spaces
Of the dome are filed with jewels,
and She whole is surmounted with a
cross formed of five beautiful
diamonds, supported by huge un-
cut but polished ruby. The band is
set in diamonds of priceless value,
while the orb is surmountcd by an
enormous sapphire and large
diamond.
After a few moments, laying aside
the scepter and globe, the Car took
off his crown and with it touched
the forehead of the Czarina, who
knelt before him, after which he
placed her ncrown upon her head.
Then she was invested with the cor
onation robe and the Collar OF St
Andrew. and the CLERGY and choir
invoked a blessing on the imperial
couple. While the bells were ringing
on the outside to announce the com
pletion of the ceremonies and the
white flags on all buildings were be-
ling replaced with those .. red hue
the members OF the imperial family
advanced to congratulate their Maj
esties. This ceremony over, the Czar
kuelt for the first time and read q
PRAYER. The Metropolitan OF Moscow
addressed the Gar on the import
ance and duties of his office, and al
ter q TIE Deum had been sung by the
choir, the Gar and Gzarina de
seended to the altar. Here the cler

SCENE OF THE CEREMONY.

The Church OF Assumption is the
smallest of the three great eathedals
OF Moscow. and out OF a total OF
thousands who sought admission,
but comparatively few secured
the little tickets permitting them to
pass through the sacred portals.
Those who were fortunate enough
to gain entrance were treated to a
sight we'll calculated to dazzle their
eyes. Not an inch of space on
pillars, walls or lofty dome that is
not coated with gold plate and
precious stones. Above and around
are portraits ofRrophets, tho angels,
the saints, the patriaehs and Holy
Trinity-each one masterpiece by
master hand. Occupying the
small area between the four huge
pillars with a platform covered with
scarlet cloth, and surrounded by
solid gold balustrade within which
was a dais supporting two gorgeous
thrones, which faced toward the
altar, and stood under II magniti
Gently draped canopy with double
headed eagles, embazonings. and
plumes of the imperial colors-yel-
low, black and white.
ENSEMBLE or DISTINGUISHED PER
soNACEs.
In The narrow space between the
columns and the walls, save that
occupied by imperial tombs, two
sloped standing tribunes had been
erected. which at an early hour be-
came filed with thegreat dignitaries
Of the Empire and the deputies OF
foreign powers. The latter, arrayed
in the gorgeous uniforms Of state,
included the Duke OF Connaught,
Prince Henry, OF Prussia; Prince
Ferdinand, OF Bulgaria, the Prince OF
Montenegro; the Crown Prince OF
Sweden; Count Monticello; Prince
Louis, of Battenbrrg; the Grand
Duke OF Baden; the Crown Prince OF
Denmark: Duke Albert, OF Wurtem-
burg; the Duke of Sake Coburg
Gotha: the Prince OF Saxohy and
Naples; the Duke OF Bparta and the
Crown Prince of Greece. The sombre
magnificenee OF the scene was
relieved by the gorgeous dress Of
the Eastern princes and ambass9-
doris who stood at the east end OF
the Cathedral. Among them were the
Emir, OF Bokhara; the Kahn, OF
Khiva; Ii Hung Chang, representing
the Emperor OF China; Prince
Fushimi and Marshal Yamagata,
on behalf OF the japanese Mikado;
and the deputies sent by the Cos
sacks OF the Don, Khirgiz, knrds,
Kallnucks and other Asiastic peo-
pies under Russian sway. The rich
dress and airy splendor OF the ladies
also contributed to the brilliancy OF
the spectacle. The great Western
world, OF which persons in this
particular part OF the globe known
so little, was ably represented in the
cosmopolitan assemblage by score

THE IMPERIAL FAMIT.Y.

At 8 O'Clock the Grand Duke
Vladimir and his suite arrived, be-
ing met at the south door by the
attending priests, and he was quick
ly followed by the Dowager Empress
and other members OF the imperial
family and the peers of state with
the imperial insignia which they
deposited on table near the
thrones. A death-like stiffness per-
vaded the ediice, broken only by the
dull clanking OF the silver girdles Of
the priests, who now formed a

ARRIVAL. OF THEIR MAJESTIES.
The roll OF the drums and the
changing of bells outside announced
that the Car and Czarina were
descending the red stairway of the
palace and the imperial procession
was on its way Their Moiesties,
preceded by white-robbed virgins
bearing waXen tapers, walked I'M
der a superb canopy upheld by
twelve generals of the imperial army
AT every step their progress was
marked Ivy tile ringing OF bells and
the salutes OF aetillary. As the
entrance OF the Cathedral was
reached the famous Ivan Yeliky
pealed forth and the six metropoli-
tans, including those of Moscow,
Kieff and Noygorod, came forth to
greet the imperial party. Within
the spectators stood with barred
heads until the Emperor and En-
press had taken their places at the
dais.
THE ezARINA's CoRNATIoN ROBE.
For moment the chief actors
stood still and the assemblage drank
in the wonders OF the imperial attire.
The Car was dressed in his army
uniform deliberately oraamented
with diamonds and emeralds. The
ladies present must have cal eht
their breath ut the first glimpse of
the Czarina,s robe, scintillating in
the mellow lightof the waXen tapers.
The white satin ground was almost
hidden beneath trimmings OF gold I
and pearls Over her shoulder was
thrown a mantle OF FURNISHED silver
and ermine, clasped with u diamond F

was crowded, and when the carriage
containing Mr.. and Mrs BRYAN drove
up round of cheers went up from
over 1000 throats. After Mr.. and Mrs

contention has ever arisen in western
Kansas that has created so much gen
eral attention and has involved seri
ously as many men prominent i'll the
state as that now going on between eX-
Senator J. W. Rush and Judge :. W.
Vandivert. The trouble is over the
Larned waterworils and is OF several
years standing. Some of the features
have been the imprisonment of Rush
by Nandivert, the closing of the First
national bank of Larned, of which
Mr.. Rush is president, and now it
is proposed by Mr.. Rush to insti-
tute Impeachment: proceedings against
Judge Eandivert before the next
Kansas senate. The charges
made by Mr.. Rush, together with the
reply of Judge Vandivert and the state
ments of Judge Peters, of Newton, Mr..
Vernon. of this city, and Mr.. Austin,
of Topeka, will likely be of unusual
interest at this time, in the face of the
fact that Mr. Nandivert is making 4
