simultaneously the royal salute is

trumpets, and all the world knows
that the king is crowned. At this juno

who makes his appearance at the

hall and challenges to mortal combat
any who may deny the title of tho
monarch just crowned. Should no one
answer after the third defiance, the
champion will approach the king, and
his majesty will drink to him from a
gilt cup, which he then presents to his
gallant defender. The office of cham

to have been brought to England by
William the Conqueror. Since the

The coronation of an English king
is medieval ceremony of SO much
interest that short description OF |
it may. be welcomed by many Amer
lean readers.
The king and his consort, accom-
panied by the princes and princesses
of blood royal and attended by the
highest household and military Off
GERS and crack military organizations,
proceed from the palace to Westmin-
ster abbey, at the entrance OF which
the sovereign is received by the great
officers of state and the noblemen
designated as bearers of the royal in
sigma. He is conducted to the robing
chamber where he is clothed In sur
coat of crimson velvet with mantle
and hood of the same material,
trimmed with ermine and bordered
with deep gold lace. After the cap OF
state has been placed on his head, he
advances up the nave into the choir,
the choristers Immediately beginning
the anthem. The sovereign moves to
the south side of the throne and passes
to chair of state called the recogni-
ton chair, where for a few moments
he gives himself up to private devo-
ton. The archbishop of Canterbury,
standing near the king, then says to
the lord chancellor, the lord great
chamberlain, the lord high constable
and the earl marshal, who stand, re-
spectively, in the east, west, north and
south side of the abbey: "Sirs, here
present unto you King Edward, the
.undoubted king of this realm; where
fore all you who are come this day to
do your homage, are you willing to do
the same?" The sovereign stands
while east, west, north and south re-
spond in union. This is the recogni-
ton, after which the king passes to
the altar, where he offers to the arch
bishop an altar cloth of gold and an in
got of gold weighing one pound, called
the soyereign's offerings. After that
follows communion. and then the oath
is administered to the king. There
upon the archbishop anoints the royal
head and hands in the form of cross,
| with consecrated oil. Next he is pre-
sented with the royal spurs of gold,
the royal sword, the imperial mantle
of cloth of gold, the orb, the ruby ring,
the scepters of the two kingdoms, the
scepter royal and the scepter with the
dove. One represents kingly power
and Justice, the other equity and mer-

His Coronation to Occur
Next June.
Especial London letter.

--S..N~'-
'NIHEN King Edward VII. was
=" Prince Albert Edward OF Wales,
he was considered the most
democratic prince in Europe. Why,
it would be hard to say. The people
OF England. as we'll as the masses of
OF other countries, raise up idols
sometimes because they are too stupid
to comprehend the motives of their
so-called superiors, at other times for
the sole purpose of knocking them
down.
AS prince of Wales, the reigning
British sovereign, who, by the grace
OF Alr. Joseph Chamberlain, is soon to
be made British emperor" was lib
eral patron of the turf-an institution
far dearer to the average cockney
than the established church. He APP
peared in person at every meet of inn
portance, his horses contested for
purses ana his representatives were
central figures in the betting ring.
Amongshis associates he was noted as
gambler of nerve, and scandal ven
tured to assert that young and in
experienced men with money in their
purses were plucked like geese in the
august circles patronized by the
prince. His love for beautiful women
was proverbial, not only at home, but
also in Paris and Homburg. Had he
belonged to somewhat lower stratum
of society he would have been called a
sport and rake, but being heir pre-
sumptive to the throne, the syeophants
who surrounded him dubbed him
perfect gentleman and prince of good
fellows"
But the transition from second fid.
| die to first violin wrought change
in Albert Edward which frightened his
old intimates and filled the hearts OF
the old-fashioned aristocracy with
joy. Hardly had he been proclaimed

Big Pay to Musicians.

Never before have musicians and OPP

sums for performing in private houses
in London as they have done this sea.
son. Kubelik, the youthful violinist,
is easily the lion of the lot. He never
played at private concert for less
than 100 guineas and generally got 200,
and there was scarcely an evening that
he was not found at the house Of
some millionaire. One well-known
woman gave a Kubelile party each
week, and, not satisfied with paying
the maximum SUM for his services,
presented the virtuoso with a Strad-
ivarius worth f1,5O0. Nine. Melba's
London agent asserts that she has re-
ceiyed 600 guineas twice for appearing
lat private. parties, which works out at
about 1875 guineas per song. Paderew-
