bishops hands from the steps of
the throne. The archbishop. who
seemed to be in faint. had to prac-
tically be carried to the altar. The in
cident created considerable excite
ment and several prelates rushed
forward to help the primate.
Prince of Wales mt Kings Feet.
The next person to pay homage to
his majesty was the prince of Wales,
who knelt until King Edward held
out his hands, which he kissed after
touching the crown as sign of
fealty. The prince of Wales then
started to return to his seat, when
the king drew him back and put his
arms around him and kissed him.
The Queen Is Crowned.
The queen then rose and, accom-
panied by her encourage, proceeded
to the altar steps, where, under a
pail of cloth-of-gold, she was quick
ly crowned by the archbishop of
York, supported by the bishops.
She was then led to the throne be-
side that in which the king sat and
her enthronization was accomplished.
The queen bowed to King Edward,
and both walked to the altar and re-
ceived the communion, after deliver
ing their crowns to the lord great
chamberlain and another officer ap-
pointed to hold them. The pages,
while their majesties knelt, still held
the queens magnificent long train
with the rest of tie mobiles present
kneeling. The rest of the spectacle
was impressive and was made more
brilliant by the electric light.
BY great effort the archbishop
of Canterbury was enabled to con.
clude the service and the king and
queen repaired to st. Edwards chap
ell. Neither of their majesties re.
turned to their thrones after the
communion, but remained at the
altar. The services, which was com
pleted with the singing of Te Deum
was brought to close without q
hitch. The king exhibited no out
ward traces of fatigue.

London, Aug. liking Edward and
Queen Alexandra were crowned in
Westminster abbey shortly after noon
Saturday. Though the ceremony was
bereft of some of the elaboration and
pagentry originally contemplated, it
lacked little in the way of spectacular
perfection. The whole ceremonial was
of a magnificently decorative charac-
ter and presented constantly chang
ing panorama around the two central
figures enthroned in their robes of vel
vet, ermine and cloth-of-gold. amidst
the distinguished assemblage of act
ors, the fulfillment of whose various
roles necessitated constant movement.
The ceremonies commenced with the
reconsecration of the regalia. The
procession of clergy with the regalia
then proceeded from the altar to the
annex, all present standing up and the

buildings during the day, and though
the actual fire loss will not exceed
$4,000, with an insurance of about
$4,000, the flames at one time threat
ened to sweep a large section of the
city. The police arrested Edward
Flanagan, 20 years of age, residing at
320 First avenue, and charged him with
being the incendiary. They claim to
have direct evidence against him.
Shortly after his arrest the mutter-
ings of the crowd made it necessary,
as precautionary measure, to remove
the prisoner to the county Jail for
safe keeping, Since then Flanagan
has refused to say word.
The fire fiend began his work in
Peoria about April 1. Up to date he
has succeeded in suffocating and
burning 55 horses and causing fire
damages aggregating many thou
sands of dollars. When the Clark
Touring mills fire broke out Monday
Flanagan was seen looking in
through a window, and was seen to
throw something into the building
and then walk hurriedly around the
block. He was followed, and after
the department had arrived at the
fire he returned and watched them
work. He was watching the fire
when the police arrested him.

from cold, Samuel Lower, of Upton,
Ia, and Miss Goldie Mutchins, of Tip
pecanoe City, o., lived through Is
hours of terrible experience perched
10000 feet above the sea level and
1000 feet above human habitation.
The couple undertook to climb the
peaks and reached ledge 100 feet
above the point whence they started.
When they wished to descend they
found that they could not. All the
afternoon and night they were inn
prisoned on the ledge until rescuers
who had climbed to the top of the
peak in their search for the couple
located them by Lowers cries for
help.
1t was necessary to return to camp
for ropes with which to rescue them.
When these arrived the couple were
hauled up the face of the rock, only
to fall fainting at the feet of their
rescuers. The girl is but II years of
age and delicate. How she survived
the exposure is n mystery to her
friends.

slowly to the left of the throne,

THE ROYAL PROCESSION.
Description of scenes To and From
the Famous Abbey.


London, Aug. IA brilliant sun
rise promised perfect weather for
coronation day, but long before the
ceremonies commenced threatening
clouds gathered, and the early ar
rivals on the route of the process
sion came provided against contin-
gencies. The earlier crowds were in
ticipated they would be. Many en-
thusiasts, with camp stools and am
pie supplies of provender had spent
the night on the best coigns of van
tage that could be secured and were
in the same position at three o'clock
in the morning. At that hour the
troops began to take up their al
lotted stations, and policemen, three
PAGES apart, lined the route of the
procession from buckingham palace
to Westminster abbey.
Procession Moves Promptly.
AS the hour for the departure of
the royal procession approached the
excitement about Buckingham pal
ace was most marked. Punctual to
time the advance guard of the royal
cavalcade issued from the archway,
the horses of the troopers cnrvet-
ting nervously as they faced the
wall of humanity that cheered their
coming. Shortly afterwards came
the prince and princess of Wales
procession, and, finally, within few
minutes, their majesties' state coach
appeared at the gateway and the
king and queen smiled and bowed in
response to the mighty roar of
cheers that dwarfed all previous
welcomes. The scene in the vicin-
ity was remarkable. On the roof of
the palace were perched a number of
fashionably dressed ladies, mem
bers of the household, and their
cheers, with the fluttering of their
handkerchiefs as the king and queen
entered the royal coach gave the
signal for the deafening plaudits OF
the populace which greeted their
majesties as they emerged from the
gates. The ovation was taken up by
the crowds which thronged the Mall
and was repeatedly acknowledged
by the occupants of the state coach
Appearance of the King.

his seat, and from a scarlet, silken
roll on which the prayers were
