LONDON, June 23.-The last stroke OF

air when from 100 metropolitan steeples
a tumultuons peal Of bells announced
Diamond Jubilee Day. h vast crowd
that filed the miles of streets and
squares answered with ringing cheers
and here and there the singing of God
Save the Queen"
The crowds that peopled the streets
and squares all night i'll the hope OF a
good view of the procession were amaz-
ing in their sublime patience. Waiting
for II, II and Is hours, as many OF
these people are doing, damned to-
yether, is a feat Of endurance that could
only lie sustained by some Overmasterr
ing desire.
\ clear starlit sky and cool air kept
the spirits of the crowd at the topmost
point throughout the vigil. With dawn
the hope Of Queens weather merged in
certainty and the world here prepared
itself in fullest confidence for a day of
pleasure.
The earliest active indication of the
great event-apart from the people
awaiting twas shortly before 6, the ar
rival of vestry carts to freshly gravel
the roadways, after the fashion which
prevailed in the good old days of Sam
Pepys. Then a little later the newt
able cur of any procession, the
police, began to arrive in great numbers

The streets on the north side of the

Were removed from Westminster and

The first great difficulty of the police
was assisting owners Of seats ON stands
and houses to get to them, they being
permitted to drive to them up to 10
O'Clock, for there was a vast interval be-
tween a title TO a seat and actual pos
session. The crowds on the sidewalks
Were quite willing to give passage to
the favored mortals who owned seats
but TO do so was ditficult-it was an at

RETURN TO BUCKINGHAM.

Great Event of Jubilee Week Ended With
out Untoward Event.
AS her majesty entered the gates of
the palace at 2 o'clock, a distant gun in
Hyde Park announced to SO much of
the world as was not before the gates
that the great procession was over. The
event so long prepared had passed into
history. The sound of the royal salute
was answered still by cheering, as if the
loyal subjects who had came to cheer
had not yet satisfied their ambition, and
then the crowd faded away as it came.
The queen reached the palace on her
return from the procession at l:45 p.>m.
She was very much pleased and smiling
and wos not over fatigued. Thd whole
affair passed off without a hitch.

The Colonial Procession.
The procession was practically in
three sections as far as ST. Paul's,
though the two last en- route to the ca.
thedral were consolidated as they moved
into Piccadilly. The first to take VI
position was the colonial procession
formed IN the e~mbankment, and moved
via the Mall, thence past the palace
where her majesty viewed it from q
window, over the route to St
Paul's. The march began at s:4'

They could see the queens horses-it
was the queen at last.
A cheer broke forth that seemed to
shake the ground, renewed again and
again as her majesty's carriage ap-
preached. The famous eight Hanover
ian creams, cream in color, with long
tails, white, cold, almost fishike eyes,
and pink noses, their names richly
woven with ribbons of royal blue, were
now passing. Gorgeous they looked in
their new state Unreasonable cloths
of royal blue velvet, with rich fringes Of
bullion, the leather work red morocco
above and blue morocco beneath, gilt
tering everywhere with the royal arms.
The carriage in which her majesty
rode now came abreast. 1t proved to be
a carriage with a light running body,
built about a quarter Of a century ago,
and of which her majesty is known to
be very fond. The body was dark
%claret, lined with vermillion, the mold
ings outlined with beads of brass. Be-
side her majesty rode the Princess Of
Wales, opposite her majesty Princess
Christian.
At Temple Bar.
At Temple bar the royal procession
was met by the lord mayor and the city
officials.
The "Vereye Good Bye Sword" known
as Queen Elizabeth's pearl sword
presented to the corporation by the
maiden queen at the opening Of the
royal exchange A. D. 1870, was carried
by the lord mayor. The sword is 3 feet
III inches long, with a fine Damascus
blade.
On the arrival of the queen the lord
mayor uncovered. Approaching the
carriage of her majesty his lordshsp,
with all due obeisance. presented the hilt
of the city's pearl sword which vas un-
drawn. This was the ancient ceremony OF
dutiful submission. The queen lightly
touched it, thus returning it to the lord
mayor, in token that his submission was
graciously accepted by his sovereign.
Her majesty then commanded the lord
mayor and sheriffs to proceed, and the
procession moved towards st. Pauls
amid roars of cheers, that seemed in
the narrow streets to be echoed and re-
| echoed.

IN THE SHADOW OF ST. PAULS

Simple but Impressive Ceremonies at the
End OF the Route.
The great bells of st. Pauls broke out
in happy chorus as the queens carriage
started from Temple Bar, and only
ceased as her majesty's carriage stopped
in front of the steps Of the great cathe-
dral. On the platform awaiting her
were the Archbishop Of Canterbury,
the lord bishop of London, the bishops
of Marlborough and Stepney, the
Very Rev. Dean Gregory and clergy
of st. Pauls. In the surrounded digni-
taries were leading representatives of
all the faiths in Er0,and.

HATES DOGS AND MEN.
Woman Who Feels Like Shooting
Them on SiEht-Men Folk Give
Her Plenty of Room.

Mrs. Augusta Main. who runs a farm
near New Berlin, y. Y. performs all the
work on the place without male assistance.
She has an intense dislike for men in
general. hut has as little to do with them
as possible. When she discovers Il man
on her premises she drops all work and
makes him instantly depart. If. when
ordered away. the man or men do not
hurry, she urges them along with n pitch
fork or any other implement that hap
pens tG be handy. AS a consequence the
men folk give her plenty of room.
Mr.. Beehe is n neighbor of Mrs. Main.
and for a long time he dared to cross her
premises to get water from a well. 1t
saved him a long walk and he took the
chances. a few days ago. while Mr.. Beebe
was making his usual short cut to the well,
Mrs. Main came out of her house with a
big revolver, and, without any parley, she
commenced firing on the man. He ran for
dear life, while the bullets whistled past
his ears. When he got home he found
that out of the six bullets fired, two had
perforated his o~veralls. while another had
torn a hole in the rim of his hat.
Beehe secured d warrant for Mrs. Mains
arrest. and she was held for the grand
Jury for assault with intent to kill. Mrs.
Main told the Justice that there were two
things she hated in this world. and they
were dogs and men, and she added: When
