Has Trouble Getting the Kings Crown On
Ono Touch of Nature.
Two incidents in the-service in the
abbey will live in the memory of all
who witnessed them. The first of these
centered around the aged archbishop
of Canterbury. When he came to place
the crown upon King Edwards head
his frame swayed so violently that the
bishop Of Winchester had to support
him, while the dean of Westminster
put guarding hand under the crown.
1t was evident that the archbishop of
Canterbury could not see the kings
head, and after cropping around he was
just about to complete the most im-
portant part of the ceremony when it
was discovered that he had the crown
with the back to the front. Slowly he
raised it, and amid tension that had
grown to u pitch of painful nervous
ness finally managed to place the
crown correctly upon the kings head.
A few minutes later came the eli
max of his feebleness. He was kneel-
ing to do the first homage of all the
subjects of the king, when suddenly
he almost tainted. and would have
fallen upon lis sovereign's knees had
not King Edward tcndcrly, but firmly,
grasped both the prelate's hands and
lifted him to his feet
The tremor which this event caused
had scarcely subsidized when an eXqui-
sitely human touch varied the pro-
ceedings. and the king was forgotten
in the father. Instead of merely ac-
cepting the homage of the Prince of
Wales, King Edward put his arms
around thesprince and kissed him. and
then recalled hen and wrung his hand

as when the senator left Washington

very fine cottage at that place.

having for number of terms been
chairman of the Republican state COM
mtttee. He had been a member of the

E. Boies for Congress.

The following is press dispatch on
the subject: "Mr. Boies is q magnlh-
cent speaker, possessing all the power
of argument Of his father, and an ora

Mr.. Boles is known as tariff revi-

London, Aug. 11.-Edward VII and
his Queen Alexandra entered West

the choir sang II Was Glad When
They Said Unto Me, Let Us Go into

ice Of recognition was completed at a

thereafter the amounting had been con.

Edward had put OH the crown, Queen
Alexandra was crowned and the i'm
posing ceremony at Westminster was
practically ended. But just then 1t be.
gan to rain heavily and it was an hour
later before the return to Buckingham
Palace was begun. The Whole pageant
had occupied the time from about 1890
a. m. to 3 p. IN.
In all respects the celebration was
impressive, and it was carried out with
n perfection of detail and lack of ac-
cidents that has rarely characterized
similar displays. In the parade be-
fore and after the Abbey ceremony
Earl Roberts was once more the hero
of the hour, and next to the king him
self received the heartiest welcome of
the assembled crowds. Lord Kitchener
was not SO easily recognized, but he
was seen as he rode with General Sir
Alfred Gaselee and Admiral Sir Ed
ward Hobart Seymour, and was the
crowds next favorite. But it was for
the king and queen themselves that
the people really let themselves loose.
Throughout the day, wherever and
whenever their majeStieS We're seen,
the cheers were loud and long, and es-
pecially was 1t so on the return jour
ney of the king and queen to Buck

for King Edward was one of the most
charming features of the proceedings

The queens own browning was

London, Aug. 11.-Osborne House,
the favorite palace of the late Queen

Inc hrst injecting of the creditors of

Court House w this city on last Friday
and Saturday Referee M. W. Har-

the claims. Among those presented
were claims for upwards OF $4,000
which were not Scheduled in the petit
tlon. Ihls indicates that the total liza
bilities will probably reach upwards of
100000.
The first vote tan len by the creditors
was one hxlng the trustees bond at
$4,000. There was some difference of
opinion as to whett1 Ter there should be
one or three trustees elected to admin
lister the estate, but y majority favored

lawyers OF this county and p. E, Has.
