HALE'S FAD.
He Thinks Forty-hve Minutes Time
Enough TO Eat a Dinner.

Senator Hale Is endeavorlng To make
Washington conform to his latest fad
OF eating a dinner In 45 minutes.
Mr.. Hale has tried IL several times,
watch In hand, and society is gosslplng
about these idiosyncrasies OF the dis.
tinguished senator.
Senator and Mrs. Hale have ever
since their first residence here been
famed as good dinner givers. For sew
eral years Mrs. Hale's health has not
been good.
This season Mrs. Hale has returned
to Washington, and the splendid cream
colored mansion at X and Sixteenth
streets has again opened It's hospitable
doors. Several dinner parties have al.
ready been given since the opening Of
congress, and II is in connection with
these that society is gossiplng.
During his wife's absence Senator
Hale RETAINED from entertaining, but
recently evolved n social revolution,
which lie proceeded to let loose upon
the fashionable world.
Society declares that - minutes Is
far too short for even the brlcrcst
menu to he served with any degree OF
comfort or subsequent digestion. Moro
than that, Senator Hale has most de.
cidcd likes and disllkes In tho matter
Of his table diet aud cannot be induced
to serve oysters or fish.
Then the senator established an ON.
barge against serving either punch OF
entrees, 50 that this season lis dinner
parties are exceedingly simple. At one
recently given the menu Is said 10 have
consisted simply Of soup, tcrrapIn, nllct
of beef, roast potatoes and baked ap-
piles.
The most astonishing part Of the per.
Torrance is that the senator sits NJ the
head OF the table, holding In his hands
his large gold watch. by which hc
times the visitors. silently calling their
attention 10 the passing moments.
One pretty young woman with a
healthy appetite, in speaking Of this
new phase Of Senator Hale's dinner
giving, said;
ut really Is too bad. We 90 away
from the table almost as hungry ms
we went. We are hurried through at
such a rate n fairly feels as IL steam
or electricity must be used In serving,
and rs for the various courses, they are
whisked on and of Mt such n rate |
positively do not know half the time
what has been ~served."-Washington

The Horoscope.

Among the scientific toys at the Paris
exposition was an instrument named
the horoscope" II consisted Of n
wooden paddle about 6ia feet long and
3 Inches broad, whitened with chalk
and turning about its middle at the
rate Of 1900 turns in a minute, When
In motion, the paddle resembled a thin
circular screen through which objects
could be seer. At q distance Of nearly
four feet behind the whirling paddle
and parallel to its plane Of rotation
was fixed a black screen. The appa-
ratus being placed In n dark chamber,
a brilliant Photographic image Of some
object was projected upon the moving
paddle, aud Immediately the image
seemed to stand forth with all the
solidlty Of n real object. The perspcc.
tive was supplied by the reflection Of
the Image from the black screen lie.

THE PIANO AT ITS BEST.
Four Times a Year None Too Often

Four Times n Year None Too Often
to Have n Piano Tuned.
"There are plenty of people," said a
piano tuner, "who let their pianos 90
one, two, three years without tuning,
and in some cases pianos thus neglect

but a piano should be tuned every three
months. That would be lone too often
to keep 1t in order.
"As a matter of fact. a piano begins
to get out of tune again at one after
1t has been tuned. How could 1t be
otherwise? Nothing stands still. This
difference would at first be so slight as
scarcely to be p%erceptible to any but
the practiced and sensitive ear of an
expert tuner, but 1t Is there, Doesn't a
clock begin to run down as soon as 1t Is

ought to be tuned, but only a compara-
lively small percentage Of people give
their pianos that attention which is
needed TO keep them In their most per-
feet lovellness of tone. Piano makers
and dealers Of course are looking after
the tuning Of their pianos In stock
s~crupulously and carefully all the time.
You don't hear pianos out Of tune in a
piano wareroom. They never let them
get out of tune there. They aim, in
fact, at keeping them as near perfec-
ton as they cal.
"We are pretty sure TO find in every
new piano something pleasing and at

pleasing quality ONE from lis being
In perfect tune. In fact, to keep any

FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT THAT
THE CEREMONY IS TO OCCUR
NEXT JUNE
FROM PALACE OF ST. JAMES
Proclamation of the King Read to
People of London Town by
the Norroy King OF
Arms

LONDON, June 28.--The royal procla-
nation announcing that the coronat5on of
King Edward is to take place in June
next, the exact day not being deter
mined upon, was read this morning at
st. James place, Temple bar and the
Royal exchange, with all the quaint,
medieval scenes which marked the oc-
casion of the proclaiming of the acces-
sion of the king. Today's ceremonial
was unheralded, SO the crush was not
SO great as on the previous occasion, but
crowds quickly gathered from all direc-
tions and thronged the points at which
the announcement was read. The cere-
mony began at St. James, where, from
the purple draped balcony3of the palace,
the Norroy king of arms (SEilliam Henry
Weldon), in a brilliant uniform, accom-
panied by heralds and pursuivants in
gorgeous tabards, and numerous state
officials, read the proclamation.
At the appointed hour four state trunl-
peters lavtshly adorned in gold embroid-
cred tunics, appeared inSfront of the
balcony. By their side stood the Norroy
king of arms, f1anked by two royal
macers, bearing gold maces, and sur
rounded by the blue mantle. Gordon
Ambrose de Lisle Lee, the Rouge Dragon
Everard Green), the Somerset Herald

aid (Alfred Scott-Gatty) and the Windsor
Herald (William Alexander Lindsay, all
in their full official regalia, and the Earl
Marshal (the Duke of Norfolk, the Lord
Steward dhe Earl of Penbroke), the Lord
Chamberlain 6he Earl of Clarendon) and
others. The trumpeters sounded a fan
fare and then the Norroy king of arms
barred his head and read the proclama-
tion in a clear voice, which must have
been audible to the royal party, occupy
ing stand O, the grounds of MARI
borough house, facing the balcony of
the palace. King Edward wore an ad-
mirafs uniform. Queen Alexandra and
the Others of the royal party watched
the ceremony with the greatest interest,
the king using field glasses to obtain
clearer view.
AS the Norroy king of arms concluded
with the words, God save the king
the trumpeters again sounded fanfare,
the king in the meantime standing at
the salute.
A procession was then formed, led by a
detachment of the Horse guards, five
royal carriages, containing the heralds,
pursuivants and other officials, proceed
ed to the Temple bar and the Royal ex-
change, where the fornalities, less pic
tureshue, perhaps, were repeated.
Lord Mayor Green and the sheriffs met
the procession at Temple bar.
