seats Beyond the structural decora-
tons for the seating of the specta-
tors, there was little attempt at any
display and the old gray arches lent
their stately perspective to the scene,
untouched by flags or any CLEAN of
color.
The various chairs to be used by
the king and queen In the service at
traeted special attention, but what
inevitably caught the eye was the
gltttering array of gold plate, brought
from various royal depositaries,
ranged along the chancel and behind
the altar, Amidst these surroundings
the earl marshal, the duke of Nor
folk, resplendent in white knee
breeches and heavily embroidered
coat, hurried to and fro, directing
the final touches.
BY ten o'clock the interior of the
abbey presented a blaze of color,
Along the nave, which was lined by
grenadiers, every chair was taken up
by high officers of .be army and navy
and others in equally handsome
equipment.
American Present.
On top of the arch separating the
nave from the chancel sat the sur.
pliced orchestra. In stalls within,
with the other ambassadors. were the
United States ambassador, Joseph II.
Choate and Mrs. Choate, and many
officials.
During the long wait, Edwin A. Alb

commissioned to paint the coronation
scene in the abbey, and who wore
court uniform, took careful note Of
the surroundings Tor the historic pic
ture ordered by the king
The peeresses took advantage of
the long interval to stroll up and
down, but the peers sat stolidly
awaiting the arrival of the soyer-
eign, their ermine capes presenting a
solid mass of white.
The Ceremonies Begun.
The ceremonies began with the re-
conservation of the regalia The pro-
cession of clergy with the regala
then proceeded from the altar to the
annex, all present standing up and
the choir singing 20, God, Our Help
In Ages Past" Preceding the regalia
came the boys Of Westminster abbey,
followed by the children Of the chapel
royal and the choir in royal uni
forms.
The duke of Connaught took his
place beside the prince of Wales IN
the abbey as the procession entered,
bowling as he passed the prince.

his seat in front of the coronation

As the acclamations died away the

archbishop of Canterbury followed,
the king being obliged to stand while

Interesting Ceremonial.
Each stage of the ceremony, with
its old-world usages, furnished its
quota of interest, while the interior

Shortly after the return Of the king
and queen to the palace it was Of
ficially announced from there that
the king had borne the ceremony well
and that he had suffered in no way
from fatigue, and this was confirmed
by the presence of the king himself
when, in response to the repeated
plaudits of the crowds, his majesty,
accompanied by the queen, appeared
on the balcony in their robes and
crowns. The faces of both were suf-
fused with smiles as they bowed re-
peatedly their recognition of the
warmth of the applause.

Kindness To Animals.

One of the highest and noblest tenden-
cies of modern civilization is evidenced
by it's pleading for kindness to the dumb
animals which Providence created for
the pleasure, the profit, and the protec
ton of man.
Re it said to the honor Of our instincts,
our education, and our country. the in
stances of wanton cruelty to animals,
such as arise from the dark passions of a
diabolical mind, or the lack of sympathy
of a coarse grained, sordid nature, are
comparatively rare. Yet there exists a
large class of cases of cruelty to animals
that arises from ignorance of the effect
of certain modes of treatment, and an
underestimation of the degree of sensibil-
ity of the animal.
However, the object of the Humane
Society is the same in both cases, that is
the prevention OF cruelty, no matter
| what form it takes, or what its origin.
But the remedy is different. In one case,
the Society must rescue the animal and
punish the offender; in the other, pro-
cess of education must be Systematically
followed.
Begin the campaign by organizing
societies wherever the soil promises
growth,-in the schools, i'll the churches,
and in every city, town and village. Get
the young people thoroughly interested.
Raise funds and apply them to the dis
semination of appropriate literature, to
the purchase of food, shelter and equip
meift, for the protection and amelora-
ton Of the condition of such animals as
the society must needs care for. Peti
ton the State and National legislatures
for the enactment of salutary laws to
! further the good purpose.
! In short, let it be the aim of the Society
to create strong public sentiment
against all forms of maltreatment OF an
imals, and new era will gradually
dawn for the long suffering, ill-requited
work animal, the faithful personal pro-
tector, the dog, and all the various
creatures that minister to the amust
ment of mankind. Selected.

On Friday last the Rivers and Harbors
appropriations aggregating in round
numbers, sos, 100000, was signed by
President Roosevelt. The funds designat-
ed for the improvement of the Mississip-
pi River are now subject to allotment by
the Mississippi River Commission. With
commendable promptness Col. A. Stick
ney, President, called meeting of the
Commission to be held on June 23rd, to
make the allotment of funds that the
worl, to be done by the Federal Govern
ment OH levees and banks and channel
may be begun and pushed during the
usual good weather of the summer and
fall. Capt. Chas. H. West, chief engineer
of the Board of Mississippi Levee Com
missioners, and probably Hon. Walter
Sillers, attorney for the Board, will at
tend the meeting of the River Commits
sion on June 23rd, to repres. mt the inter
ests of the Mississippi Levee District.
Two years ago the Rivers and Harbors
bill failed to pass, being talked to death
by Senator Carter, and many public i'm
provements have suffered in consequence.
The local levce boards along the Missis-
sippi river however, have done all within
their power to keep the levees in condi-
t;on and in this, (the Mississippi Levee
District much work has been done by
the Board, but there severafpoints along
the river front in the District that need
now or will need soon, attention, that
will require heavy outlays of funds.
amounts beyond the regular Income OF
the local board, and we shall hope that
the River Commission will be generous
to the District when making allottments
because of these special needs. The Com
mission is composed of practical business
men and the situation in our District
will be clearly presented and hence we
feel sure of fair and just treatment from
the mmission.-Greenville Democrat.
