Solemn Ceremony Followed by the Crown
Ing of other Investments.
The king in the meantime was dis
robed of his crimson robes sat down
in King Edwards chair, wherein he
was to be anointed.
Four knights of the garter (sum-
moned by garter king of arms) held
over him IL rich pail of silk, or cloth
of gold, delivered to them by the
Lord Chamberlain. The dean of
Westminster, taking the ampulla and
spoon from the altar, held them
ready. pouring some of the holy oil
into the spoon. and with it the arch
bishop anointed the king in the form
of a cross.
1. On the crown of the head, say
ing, "Be thy head anointed with
holy oil, as kings, priests, and pro-
phets were anointed."
.. On the breast saying, BE thy
breast anointed with holy OIL"
3. On the palms of both the
hands. SAYING. BE thy hands anointed
with holy oil"
Then the king knelt down at the
faldstooI. and the archbishop, stand
al
him.
This prayer being ended, the king
arose and resumed his seat in King
Edwards chair, while the knights of
the garter gave back the pail to the
Lord Chamberlain; whereupon the
king again arising. the dean of West
minister put upon his majesty the
Colobium sindonis and the supertu-
MICA or close pail of cloth of gold, to-
gether with a girdle of the same.
Then came the presentation of the
spurs and swords and the girding and
obIation of the sword, the king was
thereupon invested with the imperial
mantle of cloth of gold and the orb

tar and delivered to him. The pre-

THE CEREMONY IN DETAIL
Nature of the Historic ServIceslThat Took
Place In the Abbey.

London, Aug. 9.-The form and
order of the coronation cere-
mony was Just as it was
planned to have il on the original
date, June 20, except that the litany
and sermon were omitted. The pro-
cession of archbishops and bishops
vested in the copes formed outside
the west door of the Abbey church
Of st. Peter, Westminster, and
awaited notice of the approach of
Queen Alexandra, and then moved
into the church. As the king and
queen entered the anthem. II was
Glad that they said unto MefWe Shall
Go Into the House of the Lord" was
sung by the choir of Westminster.
The king and the queen in the
meantime passed up through the
body of the church, into and through
the choir, and so up the stairs to
the theatre; and having passed by
their thrones, they made their hum
BILE alteration, and then kneeling at
the faIdstools set for them before
their chairs, used some short private
prayers: and after, sat down in their
chairs before and below their
thrones.
The king and queen being so plac-
ed. the archbishop turned to the
east part of the theatre, and after.
together with the Lord Chancellor,
Lord Great Chamberlain, Lord High
Constable and Earl Marshal Garter
King of Arms preceding them,) went
to the other three sides of the thea
ire i'm this order, south, west, and
north and with a loud voice spoke
to the people thus: o
''Sirs, ] here present unto you King
Edward. the undoubted king of this
realm. Wherefore, all you who are
come this day to do your homage,
are you willing to do the same?"
God Save King Edward"
The people signified their willing
ness and joy, by loud and repeated
out.

Then the trumpets sounded.
The bible, baten and chalice were
brought by the bishops who had
borne them, and placed upon the
altar.
The king and queen went to their
chairs.set for them on the south side
of the altar.
The noblemen who carried in pro-
cession the regalia, except those who
carried the swords, came near to the
altar. and presented in order every
one what he carried TO the arch

Sham Republican Talk About Trusts

The average intelligent reader must
entertain the most profound con-
tempt for the sham talk in republic
can newspapers about the laws that
their party is going to enact against
trusts. All the late long session of
congress was frittered away without
even an attempt To pass an anti
trust measure of any kind whatever.
The republican newspapers, too,
never even chirped about any such
legislation during the entire session.
Now the talk about legislating
against trusts at the short session
of congress next winter can be ac-
cepted in no other light than that of
a most transparent false pretense.
No such. Legislation is ever attempted
at the short session Of l congress.
But if such an attempt were to be
made at the next session, the repub-
lican leaders-the agents and attor-
neys for the trusts in congress-
would very quickly nip it in the bud
and blight it at a touch.
The trusts know that as long as
the republicans are in power they
are perfectly secure in their reign
of eXtortion and oppression. All
this antitrust talk now simply shows
that the party of shams has not even
descent respect for the intelli-
gence of the people.
