- ADDRESS OF THE OCCASION.
A mart of Dr. Evans address was as
follows:
Some wears ago it was my happy priv
ilege to travel through the northern part
Of the sunny land of Italy. that section
Of the kingdom known as the land OF
the I.onbards'' Into this part of the
world nature has brought a vast wealth
of indescribahe beauty and matchiess
su,,,imitv. Here, also. has history re-
corded thrilling deeds of heroism and
left its chronicles of a people and an
age long since passed away from the
charging scenes of earthly happenings:
About twenty-five or thirty miles dis
tart from the splendid city of Milan, the
greatest city of Lombardy, on the noun
taiuous road tc, the Lake of Como. there
reslIes among the eternal hills the little
CITY of Monza. # his ancient town mas
atcut fifteen thousand inhabitants. 1t IS
a very old city being able to trace It's
history as far back into the distant years
as the sixth century.
The ages have packed Monza with his
toric events from an early day. and even
modern times have not overlooked it,
for with the death of the late King hum
bert the city of Monza will ever be as
scciated. for it was there that the anar-
| crist assassin brought the kingiy Hum
bert to his pathetic end.

ANOTHER INVASION.
The years roll on. Another army {

pie is seen and q strange, harsh. gutter;
tongue is heard, instead Of the music;
language of the Italians. The Austrian
are in Lombardy. When they stir, tt
Iron Crown is gone They have cal
ried it away with them as priceless

Crown is lost But it is finally restored
and to-day has its sacred place IN II

Monza.
What is the crown like? It is simp
hoop or circlet of gold plates, forming
band like ribbon. adorned with BIT
enamel, embossed with exquisite flower
and set with such precious stones as sal
phires rubies and emeralds. 1t is not TT
handsomest nor, indeed, the costlle
crown in the world T. myself have see
more magnificent crowns. I have see
