CORONATION SUNDAY.
The Pope Reckons His POntifi-
cate from That Day.

Rome, Aug 6.-The coronation cere-
monies will be performed at St Peter
on Sunday. according to rite datlng
from the latter part of the fourteenth
century. As the pope enters the cnurch
clerk of the papal chapel holds up
before him a reed surmounted by a
handful of flax. This is 1ghted; II
flashes up for a moment and then dies
out at once, as the chaplain chants:
'Pater Sancte, sic transit gloria
mundi' (Holy Father, thus passeth
away the worlds glory)-
This is done three times The mass
is then begun as usual, but before the
incensiation of the altar the blessing
of the pontiff-elect" is pronounced by
three cardinal bishops, each of whom
recites prayer over him. After the
Collects come the so-called Laudes,
that is, the threefold supplicatlons TO
God for the welfare of the new pope.
The coronation itself takes place after
the mass, in the balcony over the por-
tico of st. Peters overlooking the great
piazzi. The second cardinal deacon
takes off the mitre which until now the
pope has worn, and then the senior
cardinal deacon (MacchD places the
tiara on his head, and all the people
cry out, "kyrie eleison!"
The pope reckons his pontificate from
his coronation day, although of course
he is pope from the day of his election.

MUCH LABOR-GOOD WAGES
That Is the Situation IN Topeka Right
Now


Laborers who want work are extreme
~ hard to find in Topeka at the present
time and wages continue as high as
they have been at any time this year.
Common laborers receive $1.75 day,
about 20 cents more than the wages
given in ordinary times. Very few con-
Germs which employ common labor but
are still trying to find men, the Topeka
Water company being about the only
one which has its gangs full. Two hun
bred men are employed by the Topeka
Railway company and still more are be
ing hired when it is possible to get
them.
Topeka building contractors are hiring
men both inside and out of town, better
wages than usual being offered for
skilled labor of every kind. Brick ma
sons are being paid as high as 6212 cents
per hour, stone cutters 45 cents and car
penters as high as 35 cents an hour. The
railroads working this part of the state
are said to have imported many ne
groes from Texas, and Italians, Greeks
and Hungarians from Colorado. At the
present time there are considerable
number of unemployed men in Kansas
! who have money in their pockets earn
ed in the harvest fields and elsewhere
this summer. 1t is believed the scarcity
of labor will diminish as fall approach

Wathena. Kas., Aug. 6.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
This is our first visit at the Wathena
Chautauqua, where we are engaged in
giving a series of six normal lectures
on Sunday school work. DR.. J. L. Nc
Farland was here and gave two lee
lures on The Relation of Religion and
Morality" and The Higher Values.
besides preaching on Sunday night.
The Chautauqua grounds are finely
located in a well shaded tract of level
ground situated on the banks of the
Missouri river and within a half mile
of the pretty village of Wathena and
easy distance of St. Joseph by boat or
train via the Rock Island system or the
st. Joseph & Grand Island railway.
This is the &fth year of this assembly.
The management hopes shortly to be
connected with St. Joseph by street
car. and when this is ACCOMPLISHED
more permanent buildings will be
erected. At present a large tent with
a seating capacity of about two thou
sand is used for the popular lectures
and entertainments, and it is filled

camping on the ground, enjoying an
outing in the 125 tents which dot the
picturesque grounds. The mana cement,

for strong programme. After lectur-
ing at various ChautauQuas during the
past five years, we have been at none

YaIu River.

tically been concluded between Russia and
Korea whereby Russia acquires 200 acres
of land at YOngampho on the Yalu river
on a 80 year lease. The application of NJ.
Pavloff, the Russian minister, for permits
sion to erect telegraph and telephone lines

The extension to the northward of the

sequence of Korean remOnstrances. There
upon NJ PavlOff objected to the Japanese
telegraph line from Seoul to Fusan. which
was constructed prior to the Russian line.
The Korean government asked the Japan
csc minister to have the line removed but
the minister declined to do so.
