New York. June PA dispatch to
the Tribune from London dated early
today says:
King carnival reigns in the Queens
capital. Old London is in masquerade
disguise and is unacceptable, except
at points where architecture, like that
of the houses of Parliament and
Westminster Abbey, defies with its mo-
BILE sobriety, the DECORATORS work.
Through narrow streets, barricaded
and stalled for today's bewildering pa
geant, rushes day and night swollen
torrent of sightseers.
Business has been at a standstill for
| several days and traffic in all the lea
ding thoroughfares is blocked for hours
at time. Regulars and volunteers
have been marching into their camping
grounds all day with reinforcements
During the night and early this morn
ing there will be ample temporary gar
rison of $4,000 for parading and lining
| the streets. Side shows are innumer-
| able and the blare of trumpets and
rumble of drums can be heard at every
turn.
These jubilee scenes are heartily en-
II
blage ever known, 1t is the eve of a
splendid fete of imeprialism which can
hardly fail to light up the English i'm
agination with new glow of patriot
ic pride.
New York, June PA dispatch to
the Journal from London says:
Americans will occupy a large num-
Der of seats at the jubilee proceedings,
most of them on the highest priced
stands.
Mrs. Ronalds, who decorated her
house in Cadogan place, profusely, with
stars and stripes, will have seats for
a party of friends, mostly Americans,
on one of the best stands in Piccadilly.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Gould will see
the Queen go by from the costliest
stand in st. Paul's. At Ambassador
Hays house party of specially favored
friends will be provided with seats
during his absence at the ceremonies.
John Hays Hammond, after paying
$4,000 to Dom Paul as a fine, still has
money enough to purchase a whole
stand of twenty guinea-seats for him
self and his friends. 1t is not large
but it has one of the best positions
in Fleet street
Mrs. Joseph Campert is particularly
fortunate in the house of the late Sir
Julian Goldsmith, which she has pur-
chased. 1t commands the best view
of the procession in Piccadilly.
Mrs. Bradley Martin arrived in Lon
don just in time for the jubilee. With
seventy-five other ladies she will wit
ness it from the balcony of the Bache-
lors' club.
Chicago June 22-The Times-Herald |
says:
Roman Catholic priests in Chicago |
are observing this jubilee day of Eng |
lands Queen by celebrating dead mas |
ses for the spiritual repose of Irish |
men whose deaths are charged against |
misrule in the Emerald Isle. |
Rev. Thomas Pope Hodnett, pastor |
of ST. Malachy's church, is father to |
the idea of this deeply religious protest |
against laudation of Britain's sover-
eign. Priests of Irish ancestry through
out the city generally join in giving the
idea expression. In many churches |
the significance of this mornings mass
may not be apparent. No pronunoce-
ment of intention has been made be-
SO none was necessary, so that the
is in no sense official as
from his church authorities.
1t is simply exercised by individual
privileges. Each priest of the church
s bound to say mass every day. By
what is known as private intention"
Or ''memento" the mass is applied. It
nav be said a prayer for any special
object desired by the priest.
The significance of the service will be
probably at St. Malachy's
,hurch. There the celebrants will be
'obed in black vestments and the SER
rice will have all the characteristics
II the funeral mass.
