KING EDWARDS ROBES.
They Are Ecclestica1 Garments and
Worn Only on This Occasion.


The robes which King Edward will wear
while being crowned, and afterward while
receiving the sacrament, are ecclesiastical
vestments, and worn only upon this occa-
sion by the sovereign. They are assumed in
Westminster abbey, and taken off there,
after which the robe of state of purple velvet
Is put on. When the king enters the abbey
he wears a crimson velvet cloak. The cor
onation robes proper, then, are the priestly
vestments, and consist of dalmatic, stole
and maniple. The dalmatic is long robe
or super-tunic, partly open at the sides, of
cloth of gold richly embroidered in colors,
with Tudor roses, shamrocks, thistles, heur-
de-lis and royal coronets, and lined with
crimson; the stole of bullion embroidery,
with floral designs, has the cross of St.
George worked at each end; it is lined with
crimson silk. The stole is worn deacon
wise-that is, while priest would wear it
crossed over his breast, deacon fastens it
on his left shoulder, and crossing it over his
breast secures the end under his right arm
The maniple, which much resembles the
stole, only smaller, is worn over the left
arm.
The reason given for attiring layman
in vestments worn only by the clergy is
that the monarch represents the church,
and is the protector of its privileges Be
fore the amounting the king is conducted
into st. Edwards chapel and vested in
these ecclesiastical garments, and after the
act of homage they are laid aside

COULDN'T STRAIGHTEN UP.

Breed, Wis, June 16th.-Charles F.
Peterson, of this place, Justice of the
Peace for Oconto County, tells the fol-
lowing story:
For years had an aching pain in
my back which troubled me very much,
especially in the morning.
81 was almost unable to straighten
my back and the pain was unbearable.
81 did not know what it was, but
seeing an advertisement of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills concluded to try box.
81 can only say that that one box
alone has done me more good than
anything else ever did.
ST feel as we'll now as ever I was.
81 have recommended Dodd's Kidney
Pills to several others who are using
them with good results"
Mr.. Peterson is a highly respected
man and one who would not so posi-
lively make a statement unless it was
absolutely true.

of Canterbury. The king and queen will
then ascend raised throne erected for the
occasion, where they will receive the
homage of the peers.
The first coronation in this chapel, which
is commonly called the choir, was that of
William the Conqueror in 1866. Since then
this plain and ancient looking raised plat
form or chapel has witnessed all corona
tions. The floor of the chapel is a mosaic
pavement of curious design. The materials
for the pavement were brought from Rome
and laid about 1868. The pavement is COM
3 posed of various kinds of marbles and
porphyry interspersed with Latin inscrip-
tions in bronzed letters. The groundwork
is English marble and the whole has been
greatly injured.

THE CORONATION CHAIRS.
fine One to Be Occupied by the King
Was Made for Edward l.

The chairs on which the king and queen
will rest are known as the coronation
chairs. That to be occupied by the king
was last used by Queen Victoria at the
jubilee, and yet bears the colors of that oc-
casion. This chair was made for Edward
l. to ~inclose in its seat the famous stone of
Scone. Tradition Identifies this stone with
the one on which Jacob rested his head at
Bethel. His sons carried it to Egypt, and
from thence it found it's way to Spain with
King Gathelus, son of Cecrops, the builder
of Athens. About 700 B. c. it appeared in
Ireland where it was carried by Spanish
kings son upon an invasion of the tight lit
tie isle. There it was placed upon the sa-
cred hill of Tara, and became known as the
''stone of destiny 1t was claimed that
when the Irish kings were seated upon it
at coronations the stone groaned aloud if
the claimant was of royal race, but remained
silent if a pretender.
1t is claimed for this remarkable piece,
which is really Scotch sandstone, that in
$50 B. c., Fergus, the founder of the Scot
fish monarchy, and who was of Ireland s
royal blood, received it in Scotland, where
King Kenneth, in $50 A. D., deposited it
in the monastery of Scone. 1t is certain
that the stone was for centuries an object
of veneration to the people of Scotland.
They fancied that while it remained in their
country Scots would be monarchs of that
realm. When Edward I. overran Scotland
he seized the stone and took it to England,
where, in 1897, it was placed and kept in
Westminster Abbey, notwithstanding the
repeated efforts of the Scots to reclaim it.
Ever Since the sovereigns of England have
been crowned upon this chair. The chair
upon which the queen will rest was made

THE DUKE OF NORFOLK.
He Is the Stage Manager of All the
Coronation Events.

By hereditary right, the Duke of Norfolk
is earl marshal, and he also holds the Office
of chief butler, which entities him to re-
ceive gold basin and ever. The lord mayor
of London offers gold cup of wine to the
king, and receives the cup for fee; with u
citizens of London, the mayor also claims
the right to sit at table next the cupboard,
on the left side of the banqueting hall
The privilege of dining at a table on the
kings right hand belongs to the barons of
the Cirque Ports, who hold the canopy over
the king during some part of the ceremony.
They also carry canopy over the queen.
OF the noblemen and others who are, so
to speak, stage managing the coronation, the
Duke of Norfolk takes premier position. As
earl marshal it falls to his lot to supervise
practically all the preliminary arrange
ments, and that fossilized institution, the
Herald's college, of which he is the head, is
for year being worked at top speed. 1t is
his grace of Norfolk who viii receive the APP
plications of peers and peeresses who con-
slider themselves entitled to be present at
the coronation. It was his grace who gave or
ders the other day regarding how the ladies
of title shall be attired and what shall be the
number of gilt nobs in the coronets of his
brother peers.

This crown and that of Queen Victoria
rest among crown jewels valued at more
than 100000. They rest in great case
inside the iron-barred affair at the top of

where he was murdered. The intrinsic value
of the crown of Queen Victoria is something
over f2000,000 It rests at the top of the

taken from older crowns and from the royal
collection. Among these is an enormous
ruby which came into the possession of
England from Spain in 1867 It's history is
dated back to a much earlier period. With
IS brilliant and large diamonds it forms a
Maltese cross on the front of the diadem.
Below it is a magnificent sapphire. There
are seven other large sapphires, eight large

WESTMINSTER ABBEY.

tome Wonders of the Structure
Where Crowning VIII Take Place.
The coronation will occur in Westminster
abbey in about the only open chapel in that
wonderful structure. This chapel is raised
about five feet from the surrounding floor of
the abbey, and is at least so feet square. It is
approached by five stone steps running the
full length of the chapel. A railing of a
half dozen long, rounded wooden bars and
about four feet in height prevents entrance
except through low wooden double gates.
At the back is long altar. An immense
antique valuable rug covers the altar steps.
Another rug, smaller, yet very large one
at that is laid just inside the entrance. On
this will be placed the coronation chairs in
which the king and queen will be seated.
To one side are stalls, the same, with cush-
toned benches much after the style of cozy
corners, lining the side of the chapel. From
all sides on the floor of the abbey in that
.ection of the building, save from the back,
where is the altar, it would be possible to
obtain an almost unobstructed view of the
coronation ceremonies. The railing at the
pack of the altar separates this chapel from
the chapel of Edward the Confessor, who
eigned about 1912. The ceremony of coro-
cation will be performed by the archbishop

Clerk Young Answers for the United
 States Government.
 Washington. June N.-what amounts to an official pronunciamento of the po- sition of the administration on the ques- ton of citizenship in the Philippines pending further legislation was filed ir the Supreme Court of the District of CO lumbia today.
 It is in the form of an answer to the rule of the court to show cause why . mandamus should not issue requiring John R. Young, clerk of the court, to allow Antonio M. Opisso y de Ycaza. re- recently an inhabitant of the Philippines to declare his citizenship intentions be- fore MT. Young as clerk as petitioned by the Filipino.
 The answer, prepared by United States District Attorney Gould and approved by Attorney-General Knox, points out that Congress has not yet determined the civil rights and political status of the Filipino inhabitants; that the petitioner Is not included in any class of persons authorized by law to declare their in- tentions to become citizens of the United States and that the defendant. Young. Is without any authority to receive such declaration.
 The answer also says it is assumed that the petitioner intended to renounce his allegiance to Spain and adopt the na- tionality of the territory of the Philip pines inasmuch as he does not allege that he took steps required by article of the treaty with Spain, providing that a declaration of decision to preserve ale glance to Spain should be made before a court of record by April Il. 1900.
