New York, Aug. 20.-Presidents of
the anthracite coal roads had their
usual weekly conference here yester-

wanna railroad company said:
There is no foundation for the
rumor that the anthracite operators
will make concessions in order to end
the strike | think work will be re-
sumed in time to produce plenty of
coal for the fall demand. The OPP
orators are ready as they always have
been ready to adjust with their men
any grievances they may have and
they have never Disseminated against
any of their men because they have
belonged to a union. What the OPP
orators will not do is to discuss their
business affairs with outsiders"

DIRECTOR OF MINIS
DIMES WITH PRESIDENT

Oyster Bay. Aug. 21.-Among the
presidents guests at luncheon last
evening was Director of the MINIS
Roberts. Before leaving for New
York, Roberts stated that his call was
OF a social nature. He said he had
discussed Iowa politics with the pres
ident and had informed him that the
action of the republicans of Iowa on
the tariff was not of a revolutionary
character. The republicans of his
state, he said, believed that certain
changes in the tariff were necessary
and that it would be better to make
the movement now than to wait until
later and be forced into it. Roberts
stated he had not made up his mind
just when he would relinquish his
office to assume charge of the paper
he has purchased in Iowa. He said
he was going to give up his position,
but he might not do it this year.

Panama, Aug. 21.-The former gov

here July 29, to carry 800 soldiers to
Aqua Dulce and which was captured
by the Colombian revolutionists, is
now at sea flying a rebel flag. Rumors
that the Boyaca had been sunk are
therefore refuted.
Before she left here General Salazar,
governor of Panama, ordered the COM
mander of the Boyaca not to fire the
guns on that vessel because he feared
the bad condition of the Boyaca would
endanger those on board if her guns
were discharged. The revolutionary
reports of the capture of the gunboat
are that she fought two hours before

Harold's Papa Was "Shy."

The proud young father, after the
manner Of his kind, was telling stories
about the doings Of his first-born.
Many trivial incidents had been relat-
ed, and the little circle of listeners had
exhausted all their ingenuity in pre-
tending to be interested. ''Tell them
the story about the penny" suggested
the young hopefurs mother. The proud
father pretended not to hear, when
grew red, and finally shook violent
negative with his head. ''Then I will"
exclaimed the baby's mother. cts too
cute for anything. You know Harold
will be years old next month, and we
are now taking him to church with us:
His father always gives him a penny
to put in the collection plate. Well,
last Sunday the plate was being pass
ed, and some one dropped a coin on the
floor. 1t made quite loud noise, and
Harold turned to me and asked. in a
voice loud enough to be heard all over
the church: Mamma, whose penny are
that" Wasn't it the cutest thing? OF
course he thought that nobody ever
gave more than penny because that's
all his papa ever gives him." Then

and eminently practical and common

Grafton service is fully justified by ev-
cry detail Of the abbey ceremony,
which, indeed, bears striking resem-
blance to the service for the consecra-
ton of bishops. The presentation of
the sovereign to the people and his re-
ception by them with reclamation have
their parallel in the old French service
for the conservation Of bishop, and
the oath to govern according to law
corresponds to the bishops oath of ca
nonical obedience to his metropolitan.
Common to both services are the Lit

The sovereign will be first vested in

which will be added the stole, worn in
exact conformity with bishop's-that

Of the few occupants of a throne who
still ut their coronation receive the sa-

one who receives his crown kneeling,
having it placed upon his brow by the

op present. From the time of Napoleon,
the heads Of the great military monar-
chies have preferred to take their
crowns into their own hands, and per-
form the actual coronation for them
selves. The English sovereign at the
moment Of coronation assumes a pos
ture Of humility, conscious of the great
trust committed to his charge-a trust
conferred, not for his personal gloritica
ton, but for the welfare of his people
trust for the due performance OF
which he confesses himself to be &C.

The celebrated Stone of Destiny
which Edward I: brought from Scot
land, Is built into the coronation chair
at a height Of nine inches from the
ground. It is the oldest and most in
teresting Of all the many relics that will
take part in the browning Of King Ed
ward VII.
The stone came to Scotland from Ire
land. 1t was the Irish who gave it it's
name, Liasfail, or stone of destiny; and,
according to Irish tradition, it was used
at their national coronation chair ever
since 700 B: G. 1t was supposed by
them to be the Identical stone on which
Jacob rested his head during his vision
at Bethel. Another legend is that this
stone, when the rightful heir takes his
seat, emits loud musical note. The
chair in which this stone is set shows
traces Of beautiful enumeration, but
at modern corOnations it has always
been covered with cloth of gold.
The next in Importance of the instru-
ments used in making a king is the
golden eagle, which holds holy oil. 1t
is seven inches in height and weighs 10
ounces. The original eagle came into
