AmERICUs, Ca. NOV. 20, 1902.
THE KENTUCKY PICNIC.

There is all the difference in the
world in the character of picnics. For
example, a picnic in the effete and
mild-mannered states of this glorious
American Union is forest gathering
of spoony and giggling young people
who sit on the damp grass and soon
become asylums for starving redbugs
and woodticks, for which charitable
action on their part they spend several
days scratching themselves and APP
plying healing ointments to various
parts of their anatomy. Altogether
it is tame, insipid and highly unsatis-
factory affair. On the other hand,
Kentucky picnic from the start is
essentially dramatic and full of life
and movement. The moment word is
sent around the countryside that there
is going to be picnic on a certain day
at Mount Zion Church or some other
appropriate place, the coroner and the
undertaken prepare to do business,
for when a Kentuckian goes to pic
mic he takes his shooting irons with
him, because experience has taught
that they are more necessary to his
existence than boots The picnic of
the effete states does not suit the Ken
tuckian at all. The bare thought of
slipping lemonade instead of real stem
winding corn whiskey afrights his
rugged soul. He wants a picnic that
is as full of excitement and strenuous
ity as an egg is of meat, and when he
wants a thing he gets it.
A few days ago the dispatches an
bounced that at picnic near Vance
burg there were two families who did
not think well of each other, and in order
to make the outing the most successful
event of the season, as the society ed
itors are wont to say, they engaged in
shooting scrap, and two men were
killed and another fatally wounded
At the close of the festivities all the
picnickers declared that it was the
most perfectly beautiful and delightful
picnic that they had attended in sew
eral years. Nobody was bored, except
the three unfortunate individuals who
happened to get in the way of the
Winchester rife bullets. There will,
however, be more shooting and more
work for the coroner and the under
taker, because before the crowd dis
persed for their homes resolutions
were adopted for another picnic, which
will be pulled off next month, and the
surviving members of the belligerent
families have promised to be on hand
and again contribute freely to the gay
ETY. of the occasion.
1t is not surprising that tears roll
down the cheeks of the sons of the Blue
Grass State whenever they hear the
song: my Old Kentucky Home, " for
it makes them yearn to go back there,
where life is so gay and joyous, where
the rattle of the retributive rife and
the melodious gurgle of the upturned
jug mingles tremendously with the
threnody of beautiful woodland birds.
To them life outside of Kentucky is
as dull as a Dutch meat ak.

COnvalesceur King Crowned at Last.

COnvaleScent King Crowned at Last.
London, Aug. 8 Edward VII was
crowned King of Great Britain at
12;39 p. m today. Queen Alexan-
dra was crowned at 1855 p. m.
Despite. the predictions OF the
soothsayers to the contrary, and the
fear of the people that the king
would not be able to undergo t. e
ceremony, it took place just as ar
ranged, andnothing occurred to mar
the ceremony.
The news OF the browning was an
nounced by an official outside the
abbey. 1t was repeated by signal
through London, and was received
with cheers, which spread through
out the stands and crowds far up the
streets, as the bells pealed ioyfully.
Though the ceremony was bereft
of some OF the elaboration and pa
geantry originally contemplated, it
lacked little in the way OF spectacu-
lar perfection.
The whole ceremonial was OF mag
nifcent decorative character and
presented a constantly changing
panorama, round the two central
figures, enthroned in their robes of
velvet, ermine and cloth-ofgold,
amidst the distinguished assemblage
OF actors, the fulfiliment OF whose
various roles necessitated constant
movement.
Each stage OF the ceremony, with
its Old World usages, furnished it's
quota OF interest, while the interior
of the noble church, filled as it was
with officiating prelates in varicol-
ored capes, with princes and diplo-
mats, officers in gold-laced uniforms,
with heralds, pursuivants and other
officers of state in medieval cos
tunes, with peers and peeresses in
rich robes, with oriental potentates
in many-hued raiment, with men of
all types and shades OF complexion
from distant parts Of the newly
crowned monarch's empire, with it's
dazzling display OF jewels and wealth
OF color, presented picture which
in its combined brilliancy and dis
tinction has seldom been excelled.
