CORONATION ON JUNE 28TH.
Active Preparations are Being Made
In London for the Event

The ancient city of London is rap
idly taking on a rejuvenated appear
ance and the smoke blackened walls
of the city business houses are being
treated to new coat of paint in honor
of the coming coronation ceremonies.
Medieval customs and costumes are
being dug out of the musty realms OF
memory and attic In preparation for
the time honored rites attendant upon
the crowning of monarch. Dowag-
ers and duchesses and other scions Of
the nobility are busy scrambling for
invitations to attend the ceremony,
and the moneyed aristocracy of the
newer worlds are also making every
effort to obtain an entrance through
the sacred portals of Westminster on
the auspicious occasion.
The following is a copy of the much
wished for invitation, for which both
dignity and money have been squan-
dered in a wild effort to be an invitel
guest at the crowning of Edward VII.
"The royal family of Great Britain
and Ireland. Imperial India and the
British colonial possessions beyond

ST. LOUIS FAIR POSTPONED.
An Appropriation viii be Made Dur.
ing the Coming Winter.


With the postponcment of the Louis.
lana Purchase exposition from 1903
to 1904 the honorary commission ap.
pointed by Governor J. X. Toole some
time ago practically ceases to exist
The need OF such a commission is re |
moved by the postponement and the
members will probably not even hold
another meeting
BY the postponement, the lcglsla-
ture Of Montana is given an oppor. |
tunity 10 make an appropriation In |
time and appoint regular commits
sion In time to begin work on tho ex |
hibit. This is the case with several
other states, each of which are given
the means OF obtaining a larger sum
that would be provided through popi-
lar subscriptions. the subscribers Ge.
pending upon the future action 0f The |
Legislature to reimburse them.
Montana being one of the states
formed from territory included In the
great land purchase il was necessary
to provide the best possible means oi
making proper display. With the
legislative session coming but a few
months before the opening OF the OK.
position IL was impossible to await an
appropriation. Governor Toole. there
fore appointed the honorary commis-
sion to raise money and provide for a
state building.
Work was at once begun. II vas de.
cided TO raise s25.OOO, each couhty to
contribute share proportionate to its
assessed value. Notices were sent
out and the money was pledged with
little difficulty. Most of il is now In
the hands Of banks In various parts
of the state. This money will never
be turned over to the commission In
view of the probable appropriation IL
will be returned to the subscribers in
the near future.
Our commission will probably not
transact any more business" said A
J. Davidson. chairman of the honor
airy body. yesterday. There will now
be plenty of time for an appropria-
tion. This insures a larger sum OF
money and. consequently. more ex'
cessive display. believe that the
postponement will be benefit to all
concerned Montana especially.
an st. Louis. when We we're there
last month. most of those connected
with the fair expected the annuonce'
ment of postponement. So many
foreign governments had announced
their inability to prepare exhibits in
time. and SO many OF the state leg
islatures failed to meet last winter
THAT the states were handicapped In
providing displays commensurate with
their wealth.
"The bill which the Legislature Will
likely pass the coming winter will. OF
course, provide for commission OF
some kind. The present body was aD-
pointed by the governor to serve In
an emergency. II acted promptly and
the state would not have been with
( out representation. A regular appro-
priation will probably provide for a
better display, however.
MY idea Of the amount needed to
I erect a building in keeping with the
magnificent site we obtained Is that II
should be not less than $4,000 and
! might be well 100000. Senator w,
A. Clark favors the larger sum. He
is much interested in the fair. as a
, conversation had with him in Wash
ington shows. and will work for lib.
