ENGLAND'S PREPARATIONS.
The Crown Jewels Are Being Examined for
the Inevitable Coronation Of Another Mon
arch.

Quiet preparation is going on so that
sudden demise of the crown Her Ma
jesty, who went to the south of France
recently, is in wonderful health but
venerable persons, and especially those
who have attained age and weight in
equal amplitication. may at any time
meet their Pilot face to face, says a
London paper. A coronation is an ar
duous-possibly the most arduous-of
all state ceremonies, ana as it is some
90 years since Her Majesty was
crowned. there is no official living who
can claim now to have had experience
of croWning.' The state coronation
robe which was made fer the yirlish
figure of Queen Victoria, with it's deep
rose lining and feminine trimmings of
efmine and lace, would hardly suit the
burly person of him whom all English
men hope to acclaim some day as Ed
ward VII. Orders have been given for
the preparation of a coronation robe
suitable fora male figure The one worn
by the kings of the Hanoverian line
prior to Her present Maiestys advent
is described as being faded, shrunken
and in places mOth-eaten"
There has also been a thorough over
hauling of the CrCWn jewels. and in
particular the objects which will he

Merry Monarch managed to secure, by

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.

Official list, showing the number Of
delegates which the different cities
towns and plantations are entitled to
20 cities, 421 towns. and rs plantations
entitled to 1926 delegates.
Republican state Committee.
Augusta Maine, May ., 1895.
The basis of representation in the call
FOR the Republican State convention to
be held at Augusta, Tuesday, June y.
1898. for the purpose of nominating
candidate for Governor to be supported
at the September election.
Each city. town and plantation will
be entitled to one delegate and for each
20 votes cast for the Republican candi-
date for Governor in 1896. an additional
delegate, and for fraction of 40 votes
in excess of IS votes a further addi-
tional delegate.
That there may be no misunderstani-
ing. the secretary of the committee has
made a classification of delegates based
upon this representation. The town n
plantation which threw "A votes is. I'M
der this call, only entitled to one dele
gate. In order to get a second delegate
it must have thrown IS votes for the
Republican candidate for Governor in
1896. The fraction of 40 votes to give
another delegate, must be in excess of
Is votes.
1t is hoped that if any errors are
discovered in the list they will be
promptly reported to the secretary so
that all mistakes may be corrected.

A leader of the silver forces III tins
congressional district states that the
l1ss of the State to the Democrats was
because the silver men would not
heartily support ticket that was to a
great extent nominated by gold Dem
orrats. There is something consistent
in this action. But how any honest
cold Democrat can justify himself IN
voting for the silver congressional can
didatc in this district, IS beyond mag
nation. That the gold Democrats al

The value of advertising space in the
country weekly is woefully underesti-
mated. No other form of advertising
SO thoroughly covers the field for which
it is intended. Every line in il is read
and even the children become familiar
to a wonderful degree with those firms
who constantly use its columns. With
out the country weekly there would be
no surer way ofreaching the great body
of rural people. The dailies do not cir
magazines. The local weekly is with
field, and this fact cannot he too
strongly impressed on the minds of the
shrewd advertiser and business man.

The experience of Rochester and
other New York cities with voting
machines seems to have been satisfact-
DRY. In Rochester, city of 1873, 900
inhabitants, the entire vote was tabn-
lated and made public just thirty seven
minutes after the polls closed, while
in other cities of much smaller popu-
lation the count was not finished until
after midnight. The voting machine
is expensive at the start, but each year
saves a large,outlay in printing tickets,
paying election officers and renting
voting booths. 1t never gets drunk
nor INDUCES in unseemly wrangles
with voters; it cannot be corrupted; it
makes no mistakes and it provides the
absolute secrecy so much desired

 The woman being formed of coarser clay, failed to see the fine point of the argument and insisted upon her wishes being carried out. Whereupon Miss Bates stepped quietly out and gave place to some one else less conscien- tious.

 In such small ways as these must the American woman at the present time show her loyalty.
