minister Abbey" the venerable Dean
Stanley states that the stone Of the
coronation chair is very probably the
stony pillow on which Columbia rested
and on which his dying head was laid
in the abbey OF Iona. IF 50, it belongs,
says the dean, Ito the minister Of the
first authentic coronation Of CEristen
dom, the coronation Of Aidan by Colunl'
ba, a. D. 571.'
Edward I. was crowned upon the
stone at Scene when he became king
OF the Scots. He brought it to Eng.
land, and Dean Stanley declares had
the chair made to inclose it, thus "the
fragment of the world Old Celtic race
was imbedded in the new PlantaSenef
oak"
Only once since the coronation chair
and stone were deposited in the chapel
of Edward the Confessor have they
been removed. That was at the cere'
money Of installing Cromwell as lord
protector in Westminster hall. At the
Joint coronation of William Of Orange
and Queen Mary II. second corona
ton chair was made. like the first, with
the exception Of the supporting lions
and the stone. This has since beer
used for the crowning Of the consort
of the new sovereign. Queen Ale1an
Ora. however, will not receive the
crown in the chair. but kneeling upon
the steps Of the altar.
Westminster Abbey was founded IN
the eleventh century by Edward l.,
and the English people count it most
fortunate that after lapse CT eight
centuries a monarch Of the same name
and lineage should receive the homage
Of the nation and be crowned king IN
that historic pile. No similar success
sion Of events as the crowning Of q
line Of kings of over 800 years at the
same altar is recorded Of any other
building in the world. The Abbey is
officially designated in the proclama'
tions Of coronation as "Our Palace OF
Westminster" The houses of parlia-
ment are also called the palace Of
Westminster" and the Abbey is. with
relation to it's connection with the pal
ace, the Church Of st. Peter. The
terms of the royal proclamation there
fore designate the Abbey as the cen
trail point Of the palace. or the holy
Of holies."
At the coronation service the roya!
procession enters the Abbey by the
west doors. Along the center aisle the
kings and queens professions move
upon raised platform to the so called
"theater," or stage. where the principal
parts of the ceremony are enacted
The platform way is carpeted. Along
tie sides. Oh the pavement of the aisle,
stand the military. The coronation
chairs stand in Il large free space IN
the center Of the stage On one hand
is the royal box for the members OF
the reisning family. Opposite the roy
al box is that of the bishops and above
that the gallery. or box, for foreign
ambassadors j special ENJOYS. When
all are in their places, the interior OF
he Abbey presents a brilliant array OF
colors-scarlet. purple and gold in vel
7et, silk and ernine.

Of the sacristy is fanked By the royal
box. and from the stage whereon the
ceremony is enacted tiers of galleries
mount toward the roof fer the seating
of noble guests.
During TIE sermon King Edward
and Green Alexandra will sit in two
chairs in front OF tie royal box. with
officers OF state on either side. The
ceremony Of amounting and ciowning
King Edward. however. takes place
while he. is seated in st. Edwards
chair. directly in front of the altar.
From the time Of st. Edward, or Ed
ward the Confessor. to Queen Victoria
the monarchs OF England have been
crowned in Westminster Abbey. and
many Of them are buried there. Ed

chapel containing shrine to his men,

ART nave mOHUuGutS.
In the south transept of the Abbey
there are monuments to most OF the
famous poets OF England, and else
where in the aisles are memorials to
Englishmen illustrious in various
fields. Officially the Abbey is known
rs the Collegiate Church Of Westmin-
ster and is governed by dean.
The ancient chair used for the crown
irg Of King Edward VII. has stood in
the chapel OF Edward the Confessor.
called also the Chapel Of the Kings.
for over six centuries. Originally used
in Scotland for the coronation Of Scot
tish kings. it was brought as an offer
ing at the shrine of Edward the Con-
fessor in 1897. Since that time it has
been designated as st. Edwards chair.
In height the coronation chair of
England is G feet inches. At the
seat it is 8 feet s inches broad and in
depth 2 feet. At the corners four
lions support the structure. leaving a
space Of about nine inches between
the seat and the bottom board. With
in the space between the bottom board
and seat is inclosed the famous Stone
of Scone. so called.
No end of legends have grown up
around the coronation chair and the
stone. The stone was brought from
Scotland with the chair. One tradition
has it that the stone originally came
from Ireland. where it was known rs
the Liasfail. or Stone OF Destiny. II
was used at the Irish national corona
ton seat from the seventh century
3. C. 1t was supposed by the people
of Ireland to be the very stone upon
which Jacob rested his head during bis
vigil at Bethel. One legend is to the
effect that when the rightful monarch
takes his seat upon the stone it enlits
loud musical note. among other
names the stone has been called ia,
cob's Stone ard the Fatal Marble
Store
The use OF the stone in coronation
ceremonies is traced to the primitive
practice of raising Gcth:c and Celtic
kings to al elevated seat CT natural
stone al the time OF TIE cro"Ein@. An

Paris, Aug. 19.-The chauffeur Of the
automobile in which Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
l.. Fair were killed, whose name is Brety,
has returned to Paris. In an interview
with the correspondent of the Associated
Press he threw some further light on the
cause of the accident, saying:
when we left Trouville, Mr.. Fair was
suffering from bronchial catarrh. He
coughed frequently on the road and dur
ing the fits Of coughing his face was much
congested, evidently producing slight diz-
illness. He had just been coughing when
l found that the tire of one of the hind
wheels was debated. l realized the dan
ger and jumped to my feet. and leaning
forward l shouted in Mr.. Fairs ear In
English: Stop quick! Tire no good.
Mr. Fair glanced back. but he did not
reply Apparently he tried to stop. but
in doing so he must have made the wrong
steering movement, as the machine
swerved across the road and went In a
straight line for tree.
Mrs. Fair, as she saw the direction
the automobile was taking, clasped her
husbands shoulders with her arms and
turned her gaze towards me with look
which plainly said: We are lost The
next moment came the crash and l was
thrown into a field beside the road and
stunned. When recovered, which I did
quickly, limped to the side OF my master
and mistress, and with the help OF the
chateau gatekeeper's wife extricated the
bodies from the wreck"
