Customs of Kings Coronation
From Leslie's Weekly

FROM Leslie s weekly.
The shouts of God save the King"
are caught up by the crowd outside.
church bells ring and cannon are fired,
not only in London, but in all chief
towns. After Bible is given to the
King a solemn TIE Deum is chanted,
and enforcement follows or homage.
The King is conducted to a throne in
the center Of the abbey, and there re-
ceives the act of homage, first from
the Lords Spiritual, who kneel about
him, pronounce the words of homage
and kiss his hand. Princes of the blood
royal ascend the steps of the throne,
take off their coronets, repeat the hon.
age, touch the crown upon the Kings
head and kiss his left cheek. The
peers of the realm follow suit, with
the exception that they kiss the hand
instead of the cheek. The words OF
homage are:
II do become your Hege-man Of life
and limb, and of earthly worship, and
faith and truth / will bear unto you
TO live and die against all manner of
folk, so help me, God"
When the act Of homage is over, the
members of the House of Commons
give nine hearty cheers, with cries Of
God save the King" repeated by all.
During homage medals are thrown
to the occupants Of the choir and low
er galleries. Divested of all symbols
Of sovereignty. the King receives the
Holy Sacrament and the "Halleluiah
Chorus" concludes the service.
The state crown. which was made
sixty years ago for Queen Victoria
and valued at over half a million dol
lars. has the pigeon-ruby Of Edward

principal gem: there are twenty dia-
monds In the crown, worth $500 each;

aged-Quick Work of Firemen

Gainesville, Fla, Nov. S0.-An alarm
or nre was sounded this morning about
$780, when it was discovered that the
office of the Gainesville Daily Sun was
on tre. The department responded in
a prompt manner. and in about three
quarters of an hour the fire was out,
but the material of the Sun. except
the machinery was a total wreck.
Inc nre is thought to have originate
ed In the stock room of the Job de-
partment, all of this being ruinei. The
presses were unhurt, though they may
need oyerhauling.
Beneath the Sun Office Merchant &
90. Keep their heavy groceries, and
this stock was badly damaged
The work of the fire department was
quick and decisive, and but for their
timely arrival it is quite probable The
south side of the square would have
gone up. AS it was, the flames were
confined to the building in when the
fire started.
The loss has not yet been estimated,
but Mr.. McCreery, owner of the print
ing plant, will be the loser by several
thousand dollars. Merchant &, Co. will
also lose considerable.
The Daily News, D. E. Golwin's pa
per, came promptly to the front and
offered all assistance to the Sun, and
this morning the Sun came out as

viii Leave the Service of the Ocean
Steamship Company Jan. 1.

Steamship Company Jan. 1.
Mr.. e. w. Smith, contracting freight
agent for the Ocean Steamship Com
pany. resigned yesterday, his resigna-
ton to become effective Jan. 1. This
will be a surprise to Mr.. Smiths many
friends in business circles.
For the last fourteen years Mr..
Mr.. Smith has been in the service Of
the Ocean Steamship Company, first In
the capacity of clerk at the bottom
rung of the ladder, and from then on
working his way up by close, conscien-
tous attention to business. He went
with the company. when Gen. Sorrel
vas its general manager. The fact that
the company he has decided to leave Is
the first for which he ever worked. and
that he has remained in its service I'M
lnterruptedly for so long q period is
sufficient TO attest Mr.. Smiths ability
and usefulness to his employers
The position Of contracting freight
agent for a large carrier like the Ocean
Steamship Company is the most i'm
portant traffice position on the Bay.
Mr.. Smith has for several years had
charge of the northbound movement for
me Ocean Steamship Company. which
also includes the foreign movement,
which the company carries indirect.
The position requires a man In close
touch with the bushes interests and
particularly large shippers. Mr. Smith
mas certainly made friends for his em-
ployers, and VIII leave them with the
oonsciousness OF having at all times
p-rformed his duty ably and well.
"hile Il IL not known what HE ar
'hngements for the future are, II IL
certain that men OF his standing IN the
business community DO not remain
Without eng1g tments unless they do 30

GIynn's Representative Will Send
in Minority Report.
Brunswick, Ca, Nov. 30.-Capt. w.
F. Symons, Glynns able representative
came down from Atlanta last night to
spend a few hours with his home folks.
Speaking of the work of the House,
Capt. Symons said, while perhaps
great deal of good legislation is not be-.
ing enacted, it is also true that no
bad legislation is being put through,
and In that the House may be said to
be doing something. do not think that
the bill to redistrict the state will go
through. In fact l think that it will be
defeated. My vote was against it in the
committee room because I can see
no good reason for a change.
There is to be a meeting of the
joint committee Monday night and
when the majority report goes in
will send in a minority report. This
minority report will call for the dis
tricts to stay just like they are. 1t is
almost certain, to my mind, that the
House will vote down a proposition
to change the districts, and if the
House does not vote it down, then
am morally certain it will never get
through the senate. Inere seems 10
have been a change come over num-
Der of members since this bill was
first brought up and the more it is
discussed the more chance there seems
to be for it's defeat 1 may be view
ing the outlook wrong, but I do not
believe there will be any change"
In regard to the bill affecting the
pilots of Georgia. Capt. Symons says
he does not think there will be any
fight made on it, as it is a measure
for the protection of the pilots and
those at Savannah and Brunswick
seem to be satifed with the changes
proposed, which is to affect that of
pilotage on the inland waterways.

rad Accepted Stock From a SAM
4arium which lie Distributed to
His Political Friends.
washington, Nov. S0.-The President
today appointed Thomas B. Ferguson
,.,vernor of Oklahoma, vice William NJ.
Jenkins, removed.
In taking this action the President
a++ached to the papers the following
memorandum:
"C3ov. Jenkins of Oklahoma is hereby
,.emoved because of his improper con-
lection with a contract between the
+srritory and the Oklahoma Sanitarium
company. The decision is based purely
,,non his own written statements. and
his oral explanations of them at the
final hearing.
cone of the duties of the territorial
Governor is to enter into a contract
with some person or corporation for
the keeping of the insane of the terri
tory. Gov. jenkins made such a con-
tract with the Oklahoma Sanitarium
company. a corporation, the promo
ters of which reserved $4,000 of it's
stock for the governor, and subject to
his orders.
The stock was delivered to a bank
or. subject to the governors orders.
and was turned over to friends, whose
political services the governor thus
sought to reward.
The governors confessed relations
to the matter disclose such an entire
lack of appreciation of the high flduci-
arv nature of the duties of his Office
as to unfit him for their further dis
charge.
"a sound rule of public policy and
morals forbids a public servant from
seeking or accepting any personal ben
eft in a transaction wherein he has a
public duty to perform.
"A chancellor would not for one mo-
ment retain a trustee, who, in dealings
for trust, reserved an advantage to
himself. The thought is not to be toll
Grated that the President can be less
vigilant and exacting in the public's in
terest. Theodore Roosevelt"
