 One of the prettiest features of the evening was the crowning of the Queen Iby two litt!e girls. The little maids , performed their part to \1erfection, with not a single false step to mar the beauty of the picture
 The whole scene was one that will re- main long as a pleasant memory with those who witnessed it. The beautiful and gracious Queen with her prime minister by her side, as the central at traction, the handsome ladies in wait ing in lovely gowns grouped on either Side, the remaining seats in the row be- ing ocucpied by the winsome maids of honor. Below this group were saa ed the gentlemen of the court in the rich est and most gorgeous apparel. The grouping, the blending of colors and the powdered hair recalled some beau tiful old-world picture and carried away by the beauty and splendor of the scene, it was hard 10 realize that one was still living in the very last days of the prosaic nineteenth century.

 Hhe dancing was exquisite and put to shame much of the highy-advertisad dancing which appears upon the boards of the theater. It seemed almost in credible that so high a degree of excel lence could have been attained in so short a time.

 Never before have the people of Phoenix witnessed a more beautiful sight than the baby coach parade of Friday morning. Such an aggregation of happy, smiling children, charmingly dressed, has seldom before appeared From the tiny tots wheeling the doll carriages to the little n1aidens pushing the baby coaches, all were smiles and sunshine.
 Not a cross look, net a cry from the smallest infant detracted from the in- tereat of the occasion. All were well trained. All were beautifully dressed and the only ply was there was not prize for each one. It must have been

SCOTT'S EMULSION

Of cod-liver oil is the means of life and enjoyment of life to thousands: men women and children.
 When appetite fails, it re- stores it. When food is a burden, 1t lifts the burden.
 When you lose flesh, it brings the plumpness of health.
 When work is hard and duty is heavy, it makes life bright.
 It is the thin edge of the wedge; the thick end is food. But what is the use of food, when you hate it, and can't di- gest it?
 Scott's emulsion of cod liver oil is the food that makes you forget your stomach.
 We'll send you d little to try, ii you like. SCOTT & BOVINE, 4o9 Pearl street, New York.

School for Paris Cabbies.

There are cOachmen and cOachmen,
the newest type being the conductor of
the automatic car. The city of Paris
secures his proper training at Auber-
villiers, where the Compagnie General
des Voltures has its school. A circular
track Of 700 meters In extent serves as
the training ground. 1t is what the
French call accidente-in one place flat
and macadamized, elsewhere gently
sloping upward, or falling in abrupt
descent; here paved with wood, and
there with stones, while little further
on the road Is "up," and sand heaps,
loose bricks and broken glass threaten
the tyrO and the tire. The wayfarers
who are dotted along the route must be
"humOred and not druv." Fortunately,
they are not flesh and blood They are
merely metal dummies propped up by
stick from behind and ready to fall
at a touch. Each figure presents the
familiar personalities of the Paris
streets-bourgeois, soldiers, scorchers.
Tommy playing marbles, and the cur
that goes for every wheel. There also
are nurse, baby and go-cart. The cast
iron baby shows complete indifference
which also is true to life. The track OF
Aubervilliers is nothing If not realistic.

Barrister and Solicitor.

Lawyers in England are divided into
two great classes-counsellOrs or bar
risters, and attorneys or solicitors. The
councillors or barristers, as these terms
imply, confine themselves to the actual
trial and argument Of cases in open
court, and to consultations with attor-
neys or solicitors who represent the
clients. 1t Is contrary to professional
etiquette for barrister to confer or
consult directly with his client. The
attorneys, or solicitors, as they are all
now styled, see the client, take his
statement, gather the facts, and put II
all down in writing in what is called
'the brief" The brief is then handed
by the solicitor to the barrister, with
his retaining fee, and thereupon the
barrister and solicitor confer; the bar
rister gives his ADVICE and opinion, and
IL the case goes to trial he does all the
work in court such as examining and
cross-examining witnesses, and argu-
ing or summing up the case before the
court or jury. The solicitor does not
speak in court at all. -ft'

MINES AND MINING
Americans Are Not Satisfied with the
Alaska Canadian Survey Lose
Good Territory.

Skagway, Alaska, July S0.-The
work of delimiting the provisional
boundary in the disputed Alaska Cana
dian territory having been completed
in that part crossing the Dalton trail
and touching the Porcupine district,
the Americans in the district find that
they have lost large part Of what
they believed was. rightfully American
territory. The survey has been run
and the monuments set within the
last few weeks by o. III. Tittman, OF
Washington, D. c., and w. +. King,
of Ottawa, and assistants, who have
simply followed instructions as set
forth in the modus vivendi agreed to
professionally some months ago by Sec
rotary Hay, on the part Of the United
States, and the British representatives.
after the adjournment of the joint high
commission.
The survey and 6emarkation of the
line leaves nearly one-half of the Por'
cupine gold mines in the British terri
tory, and il has been the general opin-
ion for long time that the mines-in
fact, the entire Porcupine district
was on the American side. Mach oil
the Dalton toll road leading to Porcu'
pine city now lies within Canadian ter
ritory also; that is, is on the Canadian
side of the iron monuments set on the
provisional line. Az ~ 4&gs
The American miners in the Porcu'
pine having watched the development
of the work of delimiting and marking
the boundary, were 30 aroused over the
result of so much mining district being
left OH the British side that they were
not long in addressing protest to
President Mckinley. Copies of the
protest have been sent to the chambers
of commerce of Seattle, Skagway, San
Francisco and Portland, with request
for cooperation.
The commission will be in the vicin'
ity Of Skagway a month, delimiting
the provisional line on White Pass and
Chilkoot Pass. The POrcupine placer
mines, it is estimated, will yield $3.50,
900 this year. Work of. sluicing. by.
draulicking and other kinds OF mining
is carried on in the district.
