at SIS West Tenth street, on last
Thursday night was this morning de-
clared by jury in the probate court

sanity. He was placed in the Kansas

imaginary enemies. A number of wit

him before the night on which he
committed his series of offenses. tes-
tilted that upon their first aequaint-
ance with him he acted like an insane
man. Principal among these witnesses

to whose place in North Topeka he
went last Wednesday after he had
jumped into the river to escape his
supposed pursuers, and Nick Chiles,
from whom he begged money on last
Tuesday morning so as to get out of

the doctor, that Haygood is suffering

that he should be cared for. He is a

GILDAY NAMES HIS HELPERS.
His Brother Gets a Deputyship in Min
ing Service.

Frank GiIday, state mine Inspector,
today announced the appointment OF
his three deputies. for which there has
been a fierce fight raging ever since
Cflday's election on February Z. The
names of the successful applicants are
as follows;
John Gilday Chicopee. Crawford
joseph Ryan, Mineral. Cherokee
county.
Thomas Morrissey, Leavenworth,
Leavenworth county.
John Giday. who gets the deputy
ship in Crawford county, is brother
of the inspector, and II was due large
" to his efforts that Frank Gilday got
such strong support from the Chico
nee delegation. which was the enter
ing wedge for his election.
1t was thought that Gilday would
likely appoint Abraham Walker as
deputy in Leavenworth county, on the
ground of Walkers withdrawal from
the race on the last ballot, when he
threw his entire delegation, with 81
votes to Gilday. But it is now appar-
ent that Walker did not do this with
any promise of reward, for the place
has been given to Thomas Morrissey-
Frank Gilday and the new deputies
will enter upon the discharge Of their
duties on March /. Gnday will have
his headquarters in Pittsburg. but will
continue to make Scranton his home,
The three deputies get pay for the
time they are actually engaged in in
tspecting mines. The appropriation
which they can divide I'D in the course
about 1000 a piece outside of their
expenses The state mine inspector
gets salary of $500, and $1,000
more for expenses.

KING HAAKON VII. CROWNED
-
Democracy Keynote of the
Norwegian Coronation.
Striking Contrast to the Old Viking
Ceremony When New Ruler
Ascends Throne. -s

Trondhjem, Norway.-In striking
contrast to the kings whom he sue
ceeds, the Vikings of 500 years ago,
King Haakon VII. and his queen,
Maud, were crowned sovereigns of
reborn Norway in this the ancient
Morse capital. Visitors from far
away countries could not fail to
think and to give expression to the
thought, that the Vikings made them
selves kings-King Haakon was
made king by the grace of the people
of Norway.
Everything was carried out with
the utmost simplicity, in this respect
resembling more closely the inaugur~
alton of an American President than
a royal pageant.
Mingled with the expression of pa"
triotism from the thousands of Nor
wegians in the old capital city, was
the sentiment that their new crowned
king was the ornament to the new
political structure that the people
had reared, while the visitors from
abroad viewed the coronation more
or less as a peculiar survival OF me-
dievalism and perhaps among the
last such occasions of kingly pomp to
survive the twentieth century, the
era of democracy.
Beside the new-crowned king was
his bride, crowned in her turn, Queen
Maud, daughter of the King of Eng
land. Affection mingled with the
patriotic sentiment that stirred thou
sands here for the coronation, but
underlying the general feeling there
was clearly shown a spirit, almost
fierce, of nationalism, Cali for Nor
way" as the national motto has it,
that has never been %equalled since
the days of Norway's independence
and power.
The coronation ceremony took
place in .T%rondhjem Cathedral, not
vet completed, but so covered with
decoration for the occasion that its
defects were not noticeable. King
and queen sat in ancient chairs under
canopies of red and gold, capped by
crowns embroidered with the initials
of Haakon and his wife, the whole
placed between the two transets
under the dome of the structure.
The royal procession from the pal
ace to the cathedral was truly i'm
pressiye. The populace, augmented
MANIFOLD by the visitors, seemed
never to end their shouting. In the
cathedral it was the same, although
more dignifed.
A battery of artillery doomed out
its royal salute as the coronation
was completed. The coronation
music followed, consisting of a spec
tally composed cantata in four parts.
the work of Conductor Halversen, Of
the National Theatre of Christiana,
and sung with a chorus of 220 voices.
