RIvULETs OF WINS.
Extraordinary Extravagance 81
some Of E~ngIand's Early Kings
at Their Coronations.

The Edwards have almost without
exception displayed unwonted gener-
osity towards their poorer subjects
Hpon their installation, Edward I.
being the founder of the custom of
providing a public banquet on such
an occasion. In this instance $4,000
poor were invited to partake of q
hearty meal, which resulted In the
consumption of $50 oxen, 900 pigs and
sheep, 10000 fowls and other viands,
1000 cooks being employed to pre-
pare the feast. But Edward had
reckoned without the cost, and when
the bill was presented to him he was
compelled to resort to parliament
for a special grant to cover expenses,
says London Tit-Bits. Among the
visitors to do him homage at the
coronation ceremony was Alexander
of Scotland, who, anxious to impress
the people Of London with his gem
crosby, liberated 500 of the finest
Highland horses in the streets, which
anyone was allowed to catch and re-
tain.
Several monarchs have caused the
fountains to run with wine, which
was the cause of a tragic incident
at the coronation Of the Conqueror.
While the ceremony was in progress
a proclamation was read in the city
announcing that by the kings orders
the water conduits would run with
wine for one hour on the following
day. Such cheering greeted this an
nouncement that the Norman gar
rison, believing the English had re-
volted, fell upon the masses, burnt
the houses and slaughtered over a
thousand people before the mistake
was explained.
Richard II. ordered the conduits in
the Cheape to run with wine for
three hours on his coronation day,
and a castle which then stood in the
center Of this historic street poured
forth four kinds of wine from its
towers all day. Henry Nv. kept the
C~heapside fountains running with
red and white wine for "a hours, but
Mary provided the masses with an
entertainment only as a means of
showing her bounty. She paid one
Peter, a Dutchman, e16 13s. 4d. to
perform acrobatic feats ON the dome
of st. Paul's. to witness which 50
great a crowd assembled hat sever
al people were trampled to death.
A noteworthy fact about the coro-
nation banquet of Edward II. was
that, although 5000 people were in
vited, the food was so badly cooked
that half the visitors had to go away
with their appetites unappeased
which so enraged the new king that
he ordered the cooks to be broughf
before him and had 60 of them hung
the same day.
Perhaps the most costly coronation
feast was that provided by Henri
III. in Tothill Fields. For eight days
London was fed by the new monarch
and wine was served out to rich anc
poor alike freely, for which purpose
five shiploads were brought up th'
Thames. Another elaborate banquet
vas that given by George ~, which
is also memorable as being the last
held in Westminster Hall. The vast
quantity of 1900 pounds Of meat
400 dishes of fish and entrees, anc
1900 fowls was distributed to all anC
sundry, and, in addition, 1000 gallon.
of wine were drunk, this being the
first coronation feast at which cham
payne vas used.

Is the Most Economical

Greater in leavening strength, a spoon
full raises more dough, or goes further.
Working uniformly and perfectly, it
makes the bread and cake always light
and beautiful, and there is never a waste
of good -four, sugar, butter and eggs.
While it actually costs less to make a
batch Of biscuit with the Price Baking
Powder than with the so-called cheap
powders, there is the additional advan-
tage of better and more healthful food.

A recent decision Of the Supreme
Court Of the District of CoIumbia places
the inhabitants of the Philippine Is
lands in II somewhat equivocal position.
They are, according to the decision Of
the court, men without a country. 1t
seems that one Antonio M. Opisso, Il
native Filipino, petitioned the court to
permit him to file declaration of his
intentions of becoming citizen of the
United States, but the Department Of
Justice rendered the opinion that the
Court had no power to take such action
because pending the action of Congress,
the COVE; nment Of the United States
could not recognize a Filipino as a citi.
zen OF any country, the PHILIPPINES not
coming under the head Of any govern :
ment recognized by the government OF
the United States. This being the case
it would naturally follow that the citi-
zen of the Philippines has no legal ex-
istence and any Infringement of his
rights by foreign government could
not be made the basis of demand for
indemnity by the United States. The
situation is certainly peculiar and is
probably without precedent in the lis
tory of civilized nations.

GAIL hinges on the Philippine BILL
said chairman Payne of the Ways and
Means committee, Saturday. when l
asked him the probable date of adjourn
ment, and it is no exaggeratlon to say
that the attention of every member OF
congress is centred on that measure.
The House passed Its own bill on
Thursday, by what was practically a
party vote, but one republican voting
with the democrats. On Friday, the
conference committee began its work
and on Saturday number of dlfieren-
ces between the Senate and House bills
had already been adjusted. Some there
are, who predict that the conterees Will
report today settlement which Will
meet with the approval Of both bodies
and permit of an adjournment tomor-
row noon, but the more conservative
anticipate that an adjournment will not
be taken before Wednesday or Thurs
dav. That congress will remain in scs'
sion until after the 4th of July, no one
anticipates.
