The ceremonial features of the approach
ing coronation of the English king have
been described in part from time to time
ever since the earliest preparations for that
event We're begun. But this work gives
more circumstantal particulars than have
heretofore appeared in print. 1t traces the
customs of the coronation back 10 the ir
traditional beginnings and explains the
meaning of the ceremonies attendant upon
the investiture of the rulers. One of the
most attractive features of the book is the
series of color plates, giving reproductions
of the crowns and coTonets of the various
classes of the nobility, the royal appurte-
nances, the articles of ceremony for use at
the coronation. including the royal tank
ards and salt-cellars. The precise form and
order of the service in Westminster Abbey
is given, revealing the close association of
the religious and political phases of the
institution.

Miss Manning resided in Washington

York and Europe, having engaged in jour-

European experiences. It treats of the

personality but hopeless finances He
comes to America to find the traditional
heiress willing TO exchange her fathers
wealth for a foreign title, but the yellow
newspapers discover him and exploit his

Z. S. Circuit Court Rules on
Western Union Right of Way.

St. Paul, Mimi, Nov. An the decision
handed down yesterday by Judge Thayer
of the United States circuit court of APP
peals, in which the Great Northern was
worsted in it's suit to GUST the Western
Union from the railroads right of-way,
the decision holds that the contention of
the Great Northern railway in this in
stance meant little less than conhscation
The circuit court of appeals also further
holds that the contract which the tele-
graph company has with the Great North
ern was, and is for perpetual right-of-way
and not to be disputed, but it is allowed
that the railway company is entitled to
the cost of Transporting any and all ma
terial which the telegraph company uses
in the construction of its lines. The Hti-
cation involved S25 rallies of lines built
prior to 1892 and now valued at $500. 900
The lines are on the old St. Paul, Mime
apolis &. Manitoba road, built prior to 1882,
and decided by the court to be held Jointly
by the telegraph and railway companies.
The court adds that should the two COM
panies in dispute fail to agree as to the
amount of compe nsation for transporting
construction materials the court will ap-
point Il master in ehancery and two COM
rrlissioners to take testimony and report,
and the court will then pass on the mat
ter.
Judge Thayer wrote the decision and
Judge Caldwell concurred. Judge Sanborn
dissented. The decision is regarded as
very important, in view of the litigation
of a somewhat similar character now
pending in the east.

SHE LEAVES COLLEGE.
Booker Washington's Daughter Fails
in Examinations.

Boston, Nov 4.-The fact has just
come out that Miss Portia Washington,
daughter of Booker T. Washington of
Tuskegee Institute, has left Wellesley
college and entered Bradford academy,
a female seminary at Haverhill. Mass.
The only reason given at Wellesley for
the change is that Miss Washington
failed to pass the examinations for her
second year. Wellesley officials declare
emphatically today that Miss Washing
ton was not dismissed but that. follow
ing the usual rule of the institution
when she failed in her examinations she
took the same course as any other stud
ent would that of voluntarily leaving.
The principal study in which Miss
Washington was deficient was music.
Wellesley officials are unwilling to dis
cuss the matter. but among the stud
ents there are several opinions. 1t is
said that the notoriety that came to
Wellesley after Miss Washington went
there a year ago was extremely dis
tasteful, though no open protest was
made until she began writing signed ar
ticles for various publications and gave
number of elaborate Interviews The
faculty were much opposed to these acts
and felt considerable annoyance. How
ever, nothing was actually done.
4 Miss WashingtOn's presence was also
\ a source of some friction among the
students Those from the south would
have nothing to do with her while some
of the northern girls took her up and
gave little receptions in her honor. This
led to hostile feeling between the two
factions of students that was another
source of discomfort to the faculty
The question of Miss Washington's
personality in no way entered into the
matter. On all sides it is acknowledged
that she is accomplished, refined and
transformations. She made particular
study of music to fit herself for teach
err but failed to meet the requirements
of the course, though she worked hard
| and faithfully at it. She has all the ne
gro love of melody, but is said to be in.
capable of mastering musical technique
! The fact of her leaving Wellesley has
been kept a profound secret.

chemically and artistically, at the New

There will be a farce comedy disturb
ance at the New Crawford Saturday af-
ternoon and night, occasioned by the APP
poarance of what is called an irresistibly
funny comedy Weary Willie Walker -
OF Weary Willie Walker and exchange
says: 1.-The farce was most delicate and
dainty laugh provoker and the audience
was in a continual chuclSle except at times
when it broke into roar of laughter"
The story of Captain Jinks of the
Horse Marines" which comes to the New
Crawford next Tuesday night is fantastic
and interesting. Captain Jinks'' is a
young dandy of 80 years ago, who falls in
love with the prima donna, Mime Tren-
toni on her return to New York after an
absence of many years. Captain Jinks, -
however, is handicapped in his love affair
through the interference of two friends
who, jealous of his success with the prima
donna, endeavOr to supplant him in her
affections. Love, of course, does triumph
at last and a happy ending is put to this
acclaimed to represent the highest tech
nical skill, the most acute wit. and the
deepest touches of human nature which
Clyde Fitch ever produced in a comedy.

o'clock in the morning just as well and
