After this ceremony the queen will be
crowned. She will be anointed on the head,
four pseresses holding q magnificent pail
over her, the king will put . ring on her
finger, the archbishop Of York will place the
crown on her head and the scepter and

Prayers will be offered, the peeresses will
put on their coronets and the service will
end with the communion.
The crown for Queen Alexandra was made
for the Queen of William I'LL. 1t is set with
pearls, sapphires, diamonds and other pre-
cious stones. The scepter for q queen con-
sort is very like the kings, only not so
large; the rod for the queen is OF ivory sur.
mounted by a dove and q cross. 1t ID said
that Queen Alexandra would prefer to be
crowned according to Russian custom, by
the kings own hands after his coronation,

not be pleasing to English ideas.

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 I 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 boz
alone has done me more good than
anything else ever did.
81 feel as well 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 highly respected
man and one who would not so posi-.
lively make statement unless it was
absolutely true.

PLEASING TO THE PEOPLE.
Incidental Ceremonies Which Will
Delight the Gaping Crowds.

Apart from the coronation itself what, so
far, mas afforded the greatest possible salts
faction TO the 5000, 600 inhabitants Of Lon
don is that the king and queen, and with
them the rest of the royal family and scores
of foreign princes and potentates, will come
among them, will not be content with simply
riding from palace to abbey and back again,
but will pass in state through the principal
arteries and some of the mean streets Of the
metropolis, in order that their subjects may
see them and cheer them.
1t will be the most memorable 14-mile
drive ever undertaken by royalty. Queen
Victoria did something Of the kind on the
occasion of the diamond jubilee in 1897, but
great as this undoubtedly was, it will be ex.
celled by the royal pageant to be carried out
June 26.
The reception Of the king and queen by the
lord mayor will be suggestive Of medieval
times. 1t is one of the ancient privileges Of
the city of London to bar, if need be, even
the progress of a king into its wealthy do
main. Therefore, when the king and queen
ride in state along the Strand and reach the
law courts, quaint little ceremony will De

royal cavalcade proceeds on its way.
At the spot where old Temple Bar used to
stand, but where now an inartistic monu-
ment nicknamed "The Griffin" occupies the
center of the narrow roadway, the lord
mayor, with his mace bearer, his sword
bearer, and all the retinue of the Mansion
house, will await the coming Of royalty. 1t
may be that, with proper regard for effect,
a replica of the ancient gates OF the city will
shut off Fleet street from the Strand in
much the same way as was done with such
striking effect when the late queen made
her triumphal entry into Dublin year be-

EATS LUNCH I'm COURT:
Former Speaker Reed Shares the
Contents of His Gripsack with
william @. whitney.

Thomas Bracket Reed qualified as
an expert in electricity in the United
States court at New York the other
day. Taking his lunch with him,
slowed away in well-worn yellow
gripsack, reminiscent of the days
when he used to campaign for con-
gress up in Maine, he sat all day long
in class in higher electricity, drink
ing in the technical terms with much
gusto, and wound up by reading his
essay from q pink manuscript.
Mr.. Reed.appeared as counsel for the
Stanley Electrical company, of Pitts
field, Mass. The Westinghouse COM
pany asked an injunction to prevent
the Stanley people from an alleged in-
fringement on an electric motor pat
ented by Nikola Tesla. Millions hinge
on the result of the case. the future
of the Stanley company, which is now
employing 1900 men in Pittsfield, de-
pending upon what is done in the case.
The big display of electrical machin-
cry which filled the courtroom was
there to demonstrate that the Stanley
motor is different from that of Tesla.
When the court adjourned for re-
cess Mr.. Reed took his big Maine grip
sack and, calling his friend, William
c. Whitney, went hack to the last
bench Of the courtroom. He opened
the big grip and exhibited luncheon
that would have delighted stevedore.
There were big, brown. old-fashioned
biscuits, sliced open and filled with
ham and chicken. Like two school
boys the big ex-speaker and his friend
dived into the sandwiches and between
mouthfuls the big Maine man told fun
ny stories.

the primate of England places the crown
upon the brow of the king. Upon occasions
of state the coronet is carried before the
parsonage on a cushion, and at the funeral
it is placed on the coffin, or borne on pur-
pie cushion.
The shouts Of God save the King" are
caught up by the crowd outside, church
bells ring and cannon are fred, not only in
London, but in all chief towns. After a
Bible is given to the king solemn te deum
is chanted, and enforcement follows or
homage. The king is conducted to throne
in the center of the abbey, and there re-
eeives the act of homage, first from the lords
spiritual, who kneel about him, pronounce
the words Of homage and kiss his hand.
Princes OF the blood ~oyal ascend the steps
of the throne, take of their coronets, re-
peat the homage, touch the crown upon the
kings head, and kiss his left cheek. The
peers of the realm follow suit, with the ex-
ception that they kiss the hand instead of
the cheek. The words of homage are:
81 do become your liege-man of life and
limb, and OF earthly worship, and faith and
truth l will bear unto you to live and die
against all manner of folk, so help me, God"
When tine act of homage is over, the mem
bers of the house Of commons give nine
hearty cheers, with cries Of God save the
King" repeated BY all.

fore her death. Whether this be SO or not,
there will be a demand as to who comes
there on behalf of the representatives OF Cog
and Magog, and when it is made known that
it is their majesties, then the lord mayor
will ride bareheaded into the royal presence,
and as evidence Of loyalty will hand to his
majesty the keys of the city. These, in due
course, will be handed back, and the lord
mayor will then lead the way down Fleet
street, past st. Paul's as far as the Mansion
house, where doubtless he will take leave Of
the royal party.
Another interesting ceremony viii be the
cutting of the first sod for the Queen Vic
toria memorial to be erected Immediately in
front Of Buckingham palace. This will be
done by King Edward in the presence OF his
illustrious guests gathered from all parts OF
the world. The happy idea of beginning this
great national undertaking at the time OF
the coronation originated with his majesty,
who rightly considers that the presence in
London of so many foreign royalties and
diplomatic personages il an opportunity
that the nations of the world will gladly
seize to pay q tribute to the memory Of
Queen Victoria.
