reft of some of the elaboration and
pageantry originally contemplated, it
lacked little in the way of spectacular
perfection. The whole ceremonial was
of a magnihcently decorative character
and presented a constantly changing
panorama. Around the two central
figures, enthroned in their robes of
velvet, ermine and cloth of gold, was
the distinguished assemblage of actors,
the fulfilment of whose various roles
necessitated constant movement. Each
stage of the ceremony, with it's old
world usages, furnished its quota of
interest, while the interior of the no.

ciating prelates in vari-colored capes,
with princes and diplomats, officers in
gold-laced uniforms, with herald, pur-
suivants and other officers in state in
medieval costumes, with peers and
peeresses in rich robes, with Oriental
potentates in many-hued raiment, with
men of all types and all shades of

it's dazzling display of jewels and
wealth of color presented a picture

That He Slept in the House Tues

Mothers Murder and N Week At
ter That of Minnie MitcheI-Iad
and Replaced 1t So Carefully That
the Discovery Was Almost Mat
ter of Accident.
Chicago. Aug. 9.-With a Jagged
wound in the left temple and physical
evidence that she had been strangled
or smothered. the almost nude body
of Mrs. Annie Bartholin was found
this evening buried beneath the cellar
floor of the house in which she had
lived at 4310 Calumet avenue.
Coincident with the finding of the
body, the police redoubled their efforts
to find the missing son, William Bar
tholin, who is also suspected of the
murder of Miss Minnie Mitchell, whose
body was found in a vacant lot at
Seventy fourth and State streets
lice have evidence that Bartholin
slept in the house on Calumet avenue
last Tuesday night, three weeks after
his mother had been murdered, and
six days after he is supposed to have
killed Minnie Mitchell. He is believed
to be still in the city.
The body of Mrs. Bartholin was
found by a party of newspaper men,
after the police had searched the house
and had concluded that if the woman
had been murdered, her body was con-
cealed somewhere away from the res
idence.

From the appearance of the body il
was believed that Mrs. Bartholin was
struck down either while disrobing for

The body was removed to an under

day.
There is no apparent motive for the

Mitchell. The theory that finds most
favor at present is that the young man,
being in debt, killed his mother in or
der that her equity in the mortgaged
property might revert to him.

ms Wrinkled hand, the Archbishop's
mead fell back, his feet moved slowly
and mechanically. and thus he was
more carried than led from the throne
to King Edwards chapel, where he vas
revived.
The tremor which this event caused
had scarcely subsidized when another
eXquisttely human touch varied the
proceedings, and the King was forgot
ten in the father. Instead of merely ac-
ceptlng the homage of the Pence of
Wales, King Edward put his arms
around the Prince and kissed
him, and then recalled him and wrung
his hand with a manliness of parental
affection that brought tears to many
eyes. To those who were able to see
clearly these two episodes, the mag
innocence of the bejeweled splendor of
the uniformed men and even the historic
grandeur of the coronation office it
self sank almost into secondary inter-
est.
Came Near Being Serious.
Tonight the Associated Press learns
that King Edward was greatly I'M
nerved by the condition of the Arch
bishop of Canterbury, and that his
majesty sat in constant dread of a
contretemps, though outwardly calm
as could be judged from the steadiness
with which he held his scepter rod
erect during the ordeal This brave
show, however did not deceive the
Queen. Throughout the service, and
especially as the Archbishop of Can
terbury became more and more nerv-
Gus, her majesty palpably dreaded that
the King would break down. With
keen anxiety she constantly turned to-
ward her husband, watching him in
tently throughout the ceremony. Her
graceful dignity and solicitude for King
Edward was one of the most charming
features of the proceedings in the Alb
hey. Her majesty's appearance won
eXtravagant encomiums, especially
from the women, many of whom de-

ings may or may not be illegal in
view of the tendency of this applica-
ton. If, however, Mrs. Shooter has
any rights because this writ was pend
ing they can be inquired into a proper
way. The only question now Is whether
the writ shall be enforced as against
DR.. Allen, and the only way it can be
enforced is to disregard his return
and punish him for contempt. There
is no occasion to punish as he has, as
stated, acted with all due propriety.
This is a very unfortunate case and
has a great many pathetic features.
l do not question the motives of the
persons who instituted it, but they
are mistaken, as the finding of the
jury in Chatham county has indicated.
The court knows the family of this
unfortunate lady, and has every rea-
son to believe that, so far from un-
lawfully restraining her of her liberty,
there is not a man in the family who
would not risk his life to secure her
release were she unlawfully detained.
Mr.. Owens, her trustee, Is himself
the standing master of this court, and
a man of the most scrupulous honor.
In view of all the features of the case,
it is very plain that the writ now
pending must be discharged, and it
will be so ordered"

SH0TTER WRIT DISCHARGED.
Judge speer Says Writ Was Proper

Mount Airy, Ga. Aug. 9.-Judge
Court, after hearing arguments to-day
in the habeas corpus case filed against
DR.. Allen, manager of a private sani
tarium at Milledgeville, Ga, discharg
cd the writ. The suit was brought by
the attorneys of Mrs. Elizabeth Shot
ter of Savannah, who claimed she had
been unlawfully detained for five
years in DR.. Aliens sanitarium. Judge
Speer said he had no reason to be-
lieve that Mrs. Shotter had been I'M
lawfully restrained of her liberty.
In rendering his decision, Judge
Speer said:
The petition for habeas corpus pre-
sented a case which demanded the is
suance of the writ. The statute re-
quires that upon a proper application
the court shall forthwith issue the
writ and that was done of course. The
object of the writ was to inquire into
the cause of the detention of this I'M
fortunate lady. 1t seems that the coun-
sci who had been employed had noti-
fed DR.. Allen that the writ would be
applied for and DR.. Allen, as it was
his duty. Immediately communicated
with the relatives of Mrs Shotter, by
whom she had been placed in his
charge for treatment He could not
have taken any other course

the writ was issued and before the
judge had ordered that the writ be
issued. Then she was sent, in care
of persons delegated by DIR. Allen to
take care of her, to be turned over to
her friends. The subsequent proceed

the news was cried that King Edward

and well equipped to undergo the ia

BY $50 o'clock the scene in the vi

PACIFIC CABLE SITUATION.
Act of Congress VIII Probably Re
Necessary to Ratify the Presidents
Conditions.

Necessary to Ratify the Presidents
Conditions.
Oyster Bay. N. Y, Aug. 9.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt to-day made public the
full text of the conditions under which
he will approve of the plan to lay
submarine cable in the Pacific to con-
meet the United States with its Pacific
Oriental possessions. The principal
features of the memorandum contain
ing these conditions were given in these
dispatches last night. The memoran-
DUN is not a contract. 1t simply de-
fines a situation in which the President
will consent to the laying of the cable.
1t Is likely that an. act of Congress
ratifying the conditions imposed will
be necessary.
While the conditions are regarded as
stringent, it is believed the company
will accept them and that the work
of laying an American cable to the
Orient will soon be begun.
