vlCToRiA'S JUBILEE.
The Extraordinary Event Will Be
Celebrated Magnificent1y.

Celebrated MaEnihCentIy.
The sixtieth anniversary of the coro
nation Of Queen Victoria. will be cele-
brated in magnificent manner in Lon
don. 1t will be stupendous affair be-
yond Notwithstanding unmatched
in the history of Christendom. The
great sovereign, in whose honor all will
be done, is worthy the homage which
her subjects will pay her. 1t will be
paid gladly and with complete national
unanimity, in spite Of substantial sac
rifices which it will involve.
1t is not very alluring prospect
which London holds out to strangers
who think of seeing this town en- fete
next June. 1t is distinctly home
festival which the British empire will
hold in it's capital city. Strangers are
not invited, not even the rulers Of other
nations. OF course strangers will go,
but they must not complain If they find
the accommodations scanty and that
preference has been given to members
of the British family who come from
distant parts Of the empire. The aim
of every human being in London on
Tuesday, June %, will be to see the
Queen and the royal procession. The
number of persons who will be pos
sessed by that purpose on that day
cannot be estimated at less than six
millions. 1t will probably be more. 1t
will undoubtedly be the largest num-
Der of men and women ever assembled
in the history of the world. This mass
ing of humanity will be the marvel,
the memorable event of this memora-
BILE day. The spectators themselves
will be the great spectacle. The most
impressive sight ever witnessed was
the silent multitude, three millions in
number. who lined the Champs Elysees

The Philadelphia Public Ledger
raises a timely protest against the ne
farious operations of the tree primer,
whose annual arboreal butchery is now
in full Roadway all over the country.
Armed with chisel and saw, it is his
delight to mutilate the trees. The
graceful elm. the tender maple, and
other shade trees are chopped and
Topped without mercy until the natural
habit Of the tree is utterly changed, and
its waving crown of vendure made to
resemble cabbage head stuck on the
top of a pole. The pruning habit is ut
terly vicious. 1t Is very seldom that a
tree needs it. They should be left to

Let their limbs run riot in the summer
air, and their plant branches, I'M
touched by knife or saw, wave their
yerdant banners in the bright sunshine.
Trees, in their natural, unrestricted
growth, with their infinite variety in
form, leaf, and blossom, are delight
to the eye, and they give peace and sat
isfaction to the mind. But a tree
pruned out of it's natural shape is an
abomination

A movement has been started by a
club in London to furnish nurses with
healthful exercise by supplying them
with bicycles. They are supplied with
neat uniforms and have to report for
an outing once week. Many Of them
are engaged in wheeling most of the
time, but they enjoy the change from
trundling baby perambulator to Gid
ing swiftly along on the silent steed,
and the new movement is having a
great run.

LEGISLATURE six wears ago, naming himself
as the occupant of tho Office. lie ran for
the office in 1892 and although he was de-
feated by Joseph Martin. his Republican
opponent, he was counted in by the ras-
cally Democratic Inspectors and their
sheriff sacrificed in the deal. The new bill
will take the power out of the hands OF
the present Receiver of Taxes and makes
him the County Treasurer, with no power
to issue or collect u county tax receipt.
Then the Levy Courtmen will be given the
power to each name County Tax Col.
lector for the district they represent, thus
giving the Democrats three county Tux
collectors and the Republicans two. John
j. Gallagher and John Lynn will have the
appointing Of the two Republican tax col
lectors. This is another gigantic scheme
