For the New Iowa Historical Building

For the New Iowa Historical Building
DIES MONIES, Ia, May 1.-THE cor
ner stone of the new Iowa historical
building was laid with imposing cere-
monies to-day. The exercises were in
charge of the state historical society,
the formal act of laying the corner
stone being performed by Governor
Shaw.
Chas. Aldrich, who has probably
done more than any one else toward
helping the growth of the Iowa histor-
ical donations, acted as master of cere-
monies.
The new historical building, which
is expected to cost in the neigh borhood
of S400. 900, will be located opposite the
state house. The structure will be of
the renaissance style, three stories
high, with q basement and sub-base-
ment and a small dome. Only the west
wing is to be- constructed this year.
The entire building when completed
will be devoted to the use of the state
historical department, created by the
legislature in 1892, and will contain
among other features, q large assembly
room, historical library, q museum
and art gallery.

IMPOSING CEREMONIES
Attended the Laying Of the
Corner Stone Of the South
Kensington Museum
At London.

LONDON. May 17.-All London turn
ed out today to witness the royal pro-
cession and other features of gorgeous
pageantry attending the laying of the
foundation stone of the new buildings
of the South Kensington Museum.
A general feeling seemed to prevail
among the multitudes that this would
be the last great state function of the
kind in which the venerable sovereign
would participate and to this feeling
was probably due in q measure the al
most unprecedented crush of persons
anxious to get view of the procession.
Shortly before noon the start of the
procession from the palace was an
nounced to the thousands that were
stretched out over the territory to the
wes stward by the booming of cannon
stationed in ST. James's Park. AS the
affair was a semi-state function the
preliminary professions composed OF
the personages who precede her ma
jesty on state occasions were dispensed
with and there :was but the one pro-
cession, that in which the queen, the
members of the royal family and their
escort were the principal figures.
The carriage in which her majesty
rode was similar to that used by her in
the jubilee parade and WAS drawn by
four cream-colored horses, with the
customary outriders in uniforms of
scarlet and gold. Gslloping life guards
in their gorgeous uniforms cleared the
way for the procession. Surrounding
the queens carriage was squa5 of In
dian cavalry, while Immediately in the
rear was a detachment OF cavalry re-
Gently arrived from New South Wales.
The arrival of the royal party at
the museum was announced by sec
ond discharge of cannon. At the scene
of the ceremonies the queen, leaning
on the arm of Princess Beatrice, was
met by the Prince Of Wales and the
Lord Chamberlain. Leading to the |
dais there was q passage kept clear by |
gentlemen at arms and yeomen of the |
guard.
The scene was one of great mag
nificence. Ranged about the space re-
served for royalty we're the members
of the house of lords andthe diplomatic |
corps, the members OF the CABINET and |
house of commons, the lord mayor
and aldermen in gorgeous robes and
other insignia of their offices, together
with the brilliant toilets of the ladies,
the whole combining to perfect an en-
semble of great sp'endor.
