brated Yesterday.

knowing that there vas fee to be
paid-and there, after waiting in the
push, and elbowing their way to the
ticket taker, they were referred to the
box Office for a ticket.
Box office was literally the correct
designation, for a man Zone over
worked mann sold tickets over dry
goods box when he was not over
whelmed by the jostling crowd, In this
primitive ticket selling, with the in
terror of the box for money drawer,
there was great delay and confusion.
Hundreds of people in line for the entry
gate marched to the ticket taker before
they even knew tickets were on sale
and then they fought their way back to
the goods box and scrambled for a
ticket. So great was the crowd around
the signless box that the ticket vender
was discovered with difficulty. There
was not a single advertisement, sign,
barker or megaphone announcement
to guide the pleasure seeker in his eff
forts to get ticket
While there was a marked suspension
or business, it was noticed that several
OF the large retail stores remained OPEN
more particularly for the accommoda-
ton of visitors from the country.

THE QUEEN CROWNED.
Thousands Witness Entertainment
and Reception at Oak Park.

1t was almost noon when the parade
reached Oak Park, and thousands of
people had preceded it. Many came
later, and six thousand would be a low
estimate of the number present.
Matters, however, did not move
smoothly. The Queen was forced to
undergo a long wait after dismounting
from her carriage, much to the edifi-
cation of the urchins and older people
who crowded around
Finally things were declared in read
mess, and her triumphal march to the
throne was commenced The throne
was on big, raised platform in the
middle of the park, and from the outer
gate to the platform a carpet was laid
for Her Royal Highness to walk upon
With the march began the battle OF
roses, and the air was thick with bios
SONS They fell before the Queen, and
the carpet upon which she trod was in
places hidden by the profusion of flow
ers, rich and rare.
Mounting the platform, the May
Queen bowed to the crown which was
placed upon her brows, and upon arts
ing looked upon her subjects of a day
and the entertainment opened
1t was in honor of the Queen This
Native Sons Band furnished the mu-
sic and the subjects of the Queen die
their best to please. and their best
was far above the average. An Ad-
mirals salute-twenty-o guns-was
fired before the Queen entered upon hen
reign, and as the crown was placed up
on her head the flag was run up ir
honor of Admiral Dewey and his gal:
liant tars.

Maypole which had been erected be-

SALMON DEsTROYERS.
The River is just Now Filled With
Sea Lions.

For several days past sea lions have
been frequently seen i'm the river in this
vicinity, and yesterday several shots
were fired at them, but no dead seals
have come ashore.
These sea lions live on fish, and they
seem to have a special taste for nice
fat salmon. They are very active, and
when one of them gets after salmon
he is very apt to catch him. Thou
sands on thousands of salmon are de-
stroyed annually in this way, and of
late a movement was started for the
waging of a relentless war on the sea
lions
If they would only confine their at
tention to the pestiferous carp and cat
fish, there would be cause for rejoicing,
but apparently they have about as deep
disgust for them as is manifested by
the people There is a hope, however,
that the black bass, which are now
becoming numerous in the interior watt
ers of the State will in the course of
time solve the carp problem.

the physicians warnings have re-

AN MAN.

The progressive corporation of Bath
has just placed a commemorative
tablet upon the house in Lansdown
crescent once occupied by William
Rockford, n of the strangest charac-
tiers who ever spent his declining years
in the renowned English city of the
hot springs. His tomb and monument
are such conspicuous objects on the
heights of L%ansdown and the most
casual visitor can hardly avoid becom-
ing familiar with some of the eccen-
tricities OF this great dilettante.
Bedford, who is best known as the
author Of the Arabian tale "Vathek'
written in Il sitting of three days
and two nights, claimed descent from
the Saxon kings. He inherited vast
wealth and expended it in the most
lavish fashion, building a wonderful
house at Fonthill, in Wiltshire, which
cost over a million. Presently the evil
days came-vast sums lost in Jamaica
through depreciation in the value Of
his estates and lawsuits resulting

at a ridiculous price and to retire to
Bath broken in health and fortune.
Here he spent the rest of his days a
r~ecluse, shut UP with his books and
fancies. One commodious house would
not suffice to hold his treasures, so
en- either side were purchased, n be-
ing connected with a covered way on
the second floor, which can still be
seen. His passion for building unas-
suaged, Beckford erected a great tower
On the hill q mile above his house
wherein to study, and when he died his
remains were laid above the ground at
the foot in a granite sarcophagUs
which was prepared during his life
time. The property was then sold for
a tea garden, but his daughter, the
duchess Of Hamilton, repurchased it
and to ave it from dissertation gave it
to the rector Of Walcot as a cemetery.
The tower has just been repaired and
il is once more possible to enjoy the
wonderful view from the summit,
which is $50 feet above sea level.

My eyes were fixed upon Miss Brans-
combe. She stood, her slight figure
still drawn up in dignified silence, and
her face turned away, as if she had no
more to do with the subject.
The maid waited. She was a small,
dark woman, just past her first youth,
with, as l noticed now, a certain keen
ness of expression beneath the we'll
trained civility of her Manner per-
son of experience, 1 could judge. A
quick conviction came to me as my
eyes met hers-this woman was in the
secret, whatever it might be. She was
Nona's confidante and assistant. Mona

her INSCRIPTIONS cousin and this art

Shall l give it to Austin, sir?" re-
peated Woodward; and at that mo-
ment Miss Elmslie entered the room.
What is it," she exclaimed. your

back?"

property, Miss Elmslie," 1 explained.
