occasion of the diamond jubilee in 1897, but
great as this undoubtedly was, it will be ex'
cclled by the royal pageant to be carried out
June 26.
The reception Of the king and queen by the
lord mayor will be suggestive of medieval
times. 1t is one OF the ancient privileges OF
the city Of London to bar, if need be- even
the progress Of king into its wealthy do.
main. Therefore, when the king and queen
ride in state along the Strand and reach the
law courts, a quaint l!ttle ceremony will be
gone through with stately solemnity ere the
royal cayalcade proceeds on its way,
At the spot where old Temple Bar used to
stand, but where now an inartistic monu.
ment ncknamed "The Griffin" occupies the
center Of the narrow roadway, the lord
mayor, with his mace bearer, his sword
bearer, and all the retinue OF the Mansion
house, will await the coming of royalty. 1t
may be that, with proper regard for effect,
a replica o. the ancient gates OF the city will
shut of Fleet street from the Strand in
much the same way as was done with such
striking effect when the late queen made
her trumphal entry into Dublin a year be-
there will be a demand as to who comes
there on behalf Of the representatives of Cog
and Magog, and when it is made known that
it is their majcsties, then the lord mayor
will ride bareheaded into the royal presence,
and as evidence Of loyalty will hand to his
majesty the keys of the city, These, in due
course, will be handed back, and the lord
mayor will then lead the way down Fleet
street, past st. Paul's as far as the Mansion
house, where doubtless he will take leave Of
the royal party.
Another interesting ceremony will be the
cutting OF the first sod for the Queen Vic
tora memorial to be erected Immediately in
front OF Buckingham palace, This will be
done by King Edward in the presence OF his
ilmstrlous guests gathered from all parts of
heworld. The happy idea of beginning this
great national undertaking at the time Of
the coronation originated with his majesty,
who rightly considers that the presence in
London Of so many foreign royalties and
diplomatic personages is an opportunity
that the nations OF the world will gladly
seize to pay tribute to the memory Of
Queen Victoria.

A SENSATIONAL STORY
Alleged Discovery of "A Plo, =.
sassinate King Edward
Meager Details.

London, June ia sensatio,I
story is current in London toni1
of the discovery of a plot to ass,
nate King Edward. This storv ,]
created considerable discussion
newspaper and other circles, bu,a
lacking in anything like official u
frmation.
According to the current REM
King Edwards sudden illness al
dershot was not due to a cold l
was merely an excuse for witbd,l
ing his majesty from public funct.
owing to the discovery by ScotIl
Yard of a plot against his life Tl
principals in this plot have not !
been arrested.
1t is cited in confirmation Of n
story that King Edwards recovl
when he was ensconced at Wind
castle was as complete and speedy
his attack had been sudden.
On the other hand it must be mi,
ed out that if his majesty's illDA
was merely diplomatic, the oRe !
certainly took great deal of trouI
in keeping up the fiction. Sir Fran,
Laking, physician in ordinary to d
king, was summoned by telegram
Aldershot; his prescriptions v.
hurriedly filed, and everyRi
about the kings apartments ID
Gated the genuine nature of bis
ness.
Furthermore King Edwards n,
ney from Aldershot to Windsor nI
motor car and his subsequent dr1
to-day, in Windsor park do not s.,
to indicate any fear of further
tack upon his person.
At Scotland Yard tonight The
most reticence was maintained h
cerning these rumors. 1t was mott
able, however, that the chief insp
tors who usually return home
night, were all on duty there ,
while they refuse to see newspI
reporters until tomorrow morn
they declined to either deny or q
firm the rumOr.

nv THURSDAY, June 26, Edward

~N THURSDAY, June 20, Edward
VII. will be crowned king OF
N Great Britain and Ireland ana
emperor of India. All the machinery
of the government and the energies
of English political and social life
have for months been directed to-
wards perfecting arrangements Tor
this unique event, which promises 10
be the most splendid coronation IN
the history of the United Kingdom.
Thursday seems to have been
popular day for crownings. June 70
is the anniversary of the day on
which Oliver Cromwell was installed
as lord protector in Westminster
hall. 1t is also notable that the fol-
lowing English monarchs have been
crowned on a Thursday: Stephen,
John, Richard H., William and Mary,
Queen Anne, George w., William w.,
and Queen Victoria. That is fair
collection of lucky and unlucky mon
srchs, which makes it difficult for any
superstitious person to gather omens
for the day chosen.
Edward VII, the chief figure in the
grand event, was born November 0,
1s41, and succeeded his mother Janu-
ary 22, 1901. He was married to
Princess Alexandra of Denmark
March 10, 1868. Their Oldest living
son, George Frederick, prince of
Wales, was born in 1865. and mar
ried Princess May of Teck in 1893.
The other living children of the royal
couple are Louise Victoria, duchess OF
Fife; Maud, Princess Charles OF Den
mark, and Princess Victoria Alex

the words of homage and kiss his hand.
Princes OF the blood royal ascend the steps
of the throne take off their coronets, re-
peat the homage, touch the crown upon the
kings head, and kiss his left cheek. The
peers OF the realm follow suit, with the ex-
ception that they kiss the hand instead of
the cheek. The words of homage are;
Il do become your liege-man of life and
limb, and of earthly worship, and faith and
truth will bear unto you to live and die
against all manner OF folk, SO help me, God.
When the act of homage is over, the mem

hearty cheers, with cries OF God save the

During homage medals are thrown to the
occupants of the choir and lower galleries.
