A Peculiar Coronation Banquet.
From Leslie's Weekly

The royal banquet, which will be CIV
en- the evening of the day of corona
ton, will cost about a quarter of a
million dollars. Many curious customs
will distinguish the banquet and make
it a most picturesque function. Before
the feast the King washes his hands,
and the towel he uses is held by the
owner of the manor of Heydon, in Es-
sex, who keeps his lands on this con-
dition-that he serve his sovereign at
coronations. He also holds the basin
and ever, his perquisite for this SER
vice being another portion of land The
fees of the chief butler of the feast-
the hereditary right of the Duke of
Norfolk-are 1.-The best gold cup and
cover, with all the vessels and wine
remaining under the bar, and all pots
and cups, except those of gold and sill
yer, which shall be in the wine cellar
after the banquet. AS a proof Of the
honor attached to the office of chief but
Ter, Henry III himself attended on his
son as chief butler, on the coronation
of that prince.
The chief cup bearer serves the King
with the first cup that he shall drink
at the banquet, and he has the cup, of
silver gilt, as his fee. The grand pane
tier bears the salt and the carving
knives from the pantry to the King
table; his fees are the salt cellars.
knives and spoons laid before the King.
The Earls of Warwick formerly held
this office. The chief lardiner is in
trusted with the care of the royal lard
er. and his fees are the beef, mutton
venison, kid and lard also the fish and
salt remaining in the larder after the
coronation feast. In the fourteenth
century. Margaret, widow of John de
Burdeleys, held office by the service of
going to the Kings larder, on the feast
day, with knife in her hand, to per-
form the duty of lardiner. The napier
serves the linen and claims the table
cloths and napkins as his fee. The
owner of the manor of Liston, in Es-
sex, presents for the feast waters
made of sugar, almonds, ginger. SAT-
from and other things" ne holds his
estate by the service of these waters.
An earl carves for the King, another
noble carves for the Queen.
The menu OF coronation banquets is
never a modest one. II includes such
items as 1910 chickens, 720 pulletg and
capons, $40 hens, 100 geese, s. 400 eggs,
400 calves feet, 3S9 COW heels 7442

WILLARD LEE CONVICTED.
Must Hang July FL for Murder of
Miss Suttles-Judge Gamblers Court
Makes "a Record for "a Days Murder

Miss SuttIes-JudGe Gamblers court
Makes "a Record for "a Days Murder
Trials.
Atlanta, June 25.-To the gallows on
July q Millard Lee must go for the
murder of Miss Lila May Suttles in
Wesley Chapel at Ben Hill. about six
weeks ago. The attorneys for the de-
tense submitted their case without ar
gument to-day, much to the general
surprise, and on the converting of
court Judge Gambler charged the jury.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty
without recommendation. after deliber-
atoms of little more than three
hours. Judge Gambler sentenced Lee
to be hanged on July II. the same day
on which w. r. Wells is to be hanged
for the murder of the blind man, Fred
erick Pearce.
Lee, as will be remembered, killed
Miss Suttles because she refused his
attentions and declined to accept his
escort home from church. The fatal
shots were fired in church just as the
services closed. n
an interesting fact was that the
court disposed of two murder cases and
began the trial of the third to-day. As
soon as the jury in the Lee case had
been charged. Henry King, colored,
was placed on trial for the
murder of Bailiff Ed Battle, In
the Sunday negro riot that took
place at Pittsburg, suburb
several weeks ago. Three negroes and
four white men were killed. King was
the only negro arrested against whom
there was any material evidence. He
was convicted with a recommendation
to the mercy of the court and was SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment.
AS soon as his case was disposed of
the court began the trial of Henry
Hammond, colcred, for the murder of
Policeman f. H. Debray in West End
about eight months ago. DeBray was
trying to arrest some negro criminals
when a gang of them fired upon him
fatally wounding him. Three other me-
groes are implicated in the crime. The
trial will be concluded tomorrow

ternoon several addresses were made
by members of the fraternity at the
Methodist church. the principle one
being by Col. George M. Napier, of
Monroe, which was very eloquent and
instructive. Col r. p. Davis of War

turned thanks for the honor in some
we'll chosen remarks. The exercises
