minister Abbey itself does not escape the
spirit of commercialism in its vestry-
men. That magnificent pile of masonry
is literally and absolutely hidden be-
hind the huge stand, only its tower
peeping out above. 1t seems a pity
that this edifice, so historic in itself.
and being the actual place of the coro-
nation, should not have escaped a fate
that has befallen every other building
within telescope view of the procession
streets.
Many of the stands have been ex-
ceedingly well done. one in particular
being that erected by furnishing and
decorating establishment near Trafal-
gar Square, which built it's stand in
such a manner as to transform the en-
tire building into a structure of the
Elizabethan period, where crowds
seem to be sitting in its balconies.
St James Street was gorgeously dec
grated with great rows of bay leaves
swung from great imperial crowns, at
the side, long, old-fashioned horizontal
poles.
There is a conspicuous absence of ma
tional flags, and many of the decorations
would have been much prettier had the
owners of the buildings merely swung
out n large number of bunting flags.
There are so many different flags in the
British Isles that it is almost impos-
sible TO distinguish fhem and nine

a loss resulting from the interference

No force in the world handles a crowd
with the same skill as does the London
police, but fearing that the great mass
Of humanity would become unmanage-
able through their intense desire to
witness the coronation procession, these
gates or fences were built across every
street leading into the route of the
procession. They are heavy board
fences about seven feet high with gates
for the foot passengers and for the
wheel traffic
Purple and crimson are the favorite
colors used in decoration throughout
the city of London. All along the line
of procession decorated poles have been
erected strung with artificial flowers

A PRAIRIE CAVERN.
Hole in Ground Where Caves Would
 Not Be Looked For.

 Hole in Ground Where Caves Would
 Not Be Looked For.
 At spot II miles southeast of this place, in the level prairie upland, is an opening about forty feet i'll diameter and sixty feet in depth. By clinging to it's rocky, precipitous walls q per son may descend tQ the bottom md there find the openings of two caves, one leading westward and the other to the east. For years this cave has been known as Rock Prairie cave It is one of the most striking natural curiosities in the Chickasaw nation. The caves are of unknown length, and through one rushes subterran- can stream of great depth in places and of icy coldness. Exploring par ties have ventured into these laby- rinths for hundreds of yards, but the danger of becoming lost has prevent ed thorough examination of the un- derground passages
 The cave leading westward is easi- est of access and contains 9 number of spacious. chambers. One room is about seventy feet square and fifty feet from the floor to the ceiling The floor is obstructed with huge bowld- CTS. The darkness and stiffness are intense Picnic parties sometimes go there, and with large bowlder for a table eat their lunch ill the glare of torches that cast uncanny shadows along the massive walls
 Timid persons hesitate in veIturing into the depths of the eastern cave. The passage slants downward at an angle that compels the explorer to crawl and slip and slide for nearly 100 feet before reaching q spot where person may stand upright and walk safely. From the darkness echoes the sound of rushing water, which later is found to be a stream which runs from 8 to 30 feet in width and from six inches to many feet in depth. Men have waded in the stream until the water reached their chins and then gone in boat to points where they were unable to touch bottom with the longest oars. A farmer car. ried his boat into the cave several years ago to follow the stream to it's end. At depth estimated to be POO feet below the surface of the ground is natural bridge formed by a huge stone that falls across the stream. The water plunges underneath this bridge like a mill race. A boat can be pulled over the bridge, however, and launch ed on the other side. About 100 feet below the bridge the stream widens into broad, deep pool with high vaulted roof. Beautiful stalagmites and stalactites adorn the chamber Two hundred feet below this pool the passage is difficult. It is claimed that this cave has been explored for a mile.
 The stream is believed to find it's outlet at spring about three miles from the entrance of the cave. This spring is of great size and volume and flows with remarkable swiftness. In rainy seasons the spring boils and gushes as if choked with the flood of water that pours from it's mouth. The stream in Prairie Rock cave rises when there is a heavy rainfall in the surrounding country, and the increas- ed flow of both springs and stream at such times is taken as evidence that they are onnected.-Oklahoma State Capitol.

Rev Alexander F. Irvine of New Haven is delivering a series of i've sermons on the labor question, Wh1cf appear to be attracting considerable attention in that city.
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-12-20

The booklet recently published by the New Jersey bureau of labor sta tistlcs gives interesting comparisons between the wages and hours of labor of union and non-union mechanics in that state These facts arc well worth remembering and reflect conditions ex- 1sting ill every other state. Bricklay- CTS, union, hours per week, 511a; aver age wages per day, $3.8O. Non-union, 57.4 hours and $2.13 per day. Carpen- ters, union, hours per week, 53; aver age wages per day, $2.53. Non-union, 5S hours and $2.13 per day. Cigar
 makers, union, hours per week, 47: average wages per day, $2.27. Non union, 54 hours and $1.65 per day. Painters, union, hours per week, AS; average wages per day, $2.5O. Non- union, 57 hours and $1.S0 per day. Glass-bloWers, union. hours per week. 491a; average wages per day, S5.62
 Non-union, 531a hours and $3.52 per day. These are a few of the figures given and serve the purpose of our demonstrations. They preach a most
 eloquent sermon upon the subject of organization and furnish an argument that is incontrovertible And what
 about the investment of a few cents per week in dues? Just compare the
 above figures and see how profitable
 it is. If a man like John w. Gates
 had an opportunity to earn such inter- est on money invested, he would never let it pass him. But there are a few workfngmen still too blind to the good thing offered them, and to save about 25 cents per week paid into first-class trade union. they are willing to sacri- flee from 25 to 50 per cent in wages | and work longer hours. Of course the payment of dues, alone, will not effect the cure. The non-union man must
 develop little stiffer backbone, must
 realize he Is not serfsbut free man, and display q free mans spirit. Nor can the change from the worst to the best conditions be consummated in n day or 8 week or a year. mayhap. It takes time and earnest, persistent pa tient work and intelligent direction. But membership in trade union will ! do it, and it pays New Haven Lead err
