THE CORONATION.
THE CEREMONIES WITNESSED BY
SEVENTY THOUSAND.
MAGNIFICENT IN ALL DETAILS.
Many Notabes Present--Throng Be-
gan to Gather Long Before the
Dawn Began to Break.

Rome, Aug. 10-The ceremony of
the coronation of Pope Plus X took
place yesterday in the basilica of St
Peters, in the presence of princes and
high dignitaries of the church and the
Roman mobiles. and with all the So
lemnity and splendor associated with
this, the most magnificent rite of the
Roman Catholic church.
AS Cardinal Macchi, the dean OF
the cardinal deacons, placed the triple
crown on the head of the venerable
pontiff, the throng of 10000 persons
gathered within the cathedral burst
into unrestrained acclamatlons, the
choir intoned a hymn of triumphsand
the bells rang out with joyful peal.
1t is ffty-seven years since the Ro-
mans and Europe assisted at such a
function as was held in st. Peters
yesterday The great basilica, popu-
larly supposed never to have been
quite full, was overlooking with hui
manity. The papal throne, bewilder-
ing mixture of gold, red and silver,
was erected in front of the high altar
AS, contrary to custom on these coca
sions, there were no galleries, the ba-
silica bore more of it's normal aspect
On the altar, which was dressed in
white, stood the famous silver gilt can
dlesticks and a magnificent crucifix
All the available standing space
within the cathedral was divided into
sections by wooden barriers, which, to
a certain extent, kept the vast crowd
in order. In the early hours after
sunrise thick fog hung over Rome,
and the bank of the Tiber could not
be seen from the other, while from
the st. Angelo bridge one seemed to
look into fathomless abyss instead
Of into the river

great dome disappeared completely
from view, while at others It appeared
through the flowing golden mist As
the morning wore on the fog dispersed
and the sun shone with all its south
ern intensity, until it became unbeara-
bly, hot and the stone columns and
statutes seemed to radiate the heat on
the thousands waiting to enter the
church At O'Clock the ringing Of
bells announced the Imminent opening
of the doors, and a commotlon at once
began among the crowds. But ter
minutes had to elapse before the doors
we're thrown open, and each seemed
a century to the waiting crowd, which
for hours already had been standing
before the closed portals The police
and Italian soldiers had difficult task
to maintain order in the fatiguet
crowd.

wizard OF the violin.

one can conceive that Theobaldi, the
Wizard Of the Violin" would realize the
possibility Of a new tone from that in
strument with exultation. At least he
spent the greater part Of yesterday even
ing at his concert in Washington hall in
making his violin sound like anything but
a violin and drawing from Its strings an
interesting variety OF tones. Sometimes
he had 1t twittering and whistling away
up the register on the z string, like a
dickey bird perched on a wind-blown twig;
again it simulated a bunch Of drums. or a
pIccolo, a trumpet, a ~squeaking mill wheel.
or the forest sounds, or wind and water.
usually not very clearly recognizable as
such, but again ~strikingly initiative.
But Il must not be supposed that Theo-
baldi cannot play straight away music ar
tistically n with depth Of tone. He gave
THE Death Of Aase.' from the Per Gynt''
suite OF Edward Grieg, and a concert etude
by Paganini. During the evening he once
made use OF the auto-harp, bringing out
an unexpected harmony from that instru-
ment. Theobaldi is a Norwegian and plays
without accompenist, and six Of the selec-
tions on the program were Of his own com
position. The hall held a fairly large
audience,

GOOD TIMES IN THE PLATTE

w. II. Grassmeyer, a we'll known real
estate dealer and ranch owner OF Kearney,
Is In Omaha for a few days, stopping at
the Dellone hotel. He is enthusiastic over
the agricultural and land conditions in the
Platte valley and says that the crops never
looked better than now at this season Of
the year.
more people are coming into Buffalo
county and investing in farms and homes
there than ever before" says Mr.. Grass
meyer. They come from all over the
country and they pay cash for what they
buy. In every way we have cause to feel
proud over the general conditions. believe
that the decrease in the mortgage record
surpasses most, II not all, the other coun-
ties OF the state. and as an example Of
posits in one Of the three banks OF Kearney
one day last week amounted to more than
$500, 900. II that is not an indication of
how the people are getting along l don't

There is a real alfalfa boom on in this

this spring. Interest in alfalfa lands and
It's production are greater than ever before
and the majority OF the land deals are in
alfalfa land-land that is already sown and
that which is not. There is no place in
the country where the plant can be raised
to better advantage than in this part OF
Nebraska, and the people are showing their
confidence in alfalfa. which most people
do not yet understand as to Its nature and
advantages as a live stock food"

by Frank Dunlap. Today's session will

Omaha daily bee., 1903-04-25

Vious to his set remarks he spoke of the
old travelling men. paying high tribute to
the work OF the old men who had tray-
eled on the road. Then he said, in part:
Since the travelling salesman and the lob
per are SO inseparable and since their aims
sidered as a firm. If Mr.. Salesman feels
convinced that Mr., Jobber is not fair in
himself or that he is not competent TO
get MS goods on terms as advantageous as
MS competitors or that he is not willing to
sell on as small margins as other reliable
competing houses, then the Junior member
or the hrm would be justified in complain
ing to the senior member, not of him as Is
often the case, and by consultation trv and
remedy whatever was wrong. IL after con-
Sultation a difference of opinion still ex-
man would better withdraw from the firm,
for without a perfect understanding and
agreement on what he considers important
oints he cannot put forth his best efforts,
and a half-hearted service is an injury to
himself as well as unfair to his partner.
Of the firm. Mr.. Jobber, has a suspicion
that his. partner, Mr.. Salesman, Is not fol-
lowing INSTRUCTIONS or Is not carrying on
honestly and loyalty, a breach has been
started which should be closed at once by
consultation or Investigation. II this is i'm
possible and confidence cannot be restored.
then the senior member should ask the
junior member to resign and give some
other mar a chance. Success is absolutely
impossible unless on the side of the jobbei
there Is confidence and trust and on the
side of the salesman confidence and loyalty
and each should try to attain the highest
ideal of the other.
Following this came the reports of the
state chairmen of committees. w. M.

telling of the establishment OF the
