tened nj Britain's Greatest Show on
Earth, TO appear absolutely without
fail, rain or shine, on June 20, when
King George Is crowned The duke
OF Norfolk, grand marshal OF the
realm. will be chief ring master. Lord
Kitchener will command the 100000
troops on duty.
Inside the Westminster Abbey will
be 1000 people. each gorgeously
robed. Tiaras for the princesses
alone come to more than a million
dollars, yet their gems will pale be-
side the light from the Koh-inor and
the, Cullinan diamonds set in the
kings crown and sceptre.
The archbishop OF Canterbury Will
proclaim: "Sirs, | here present
King George, the undoubted king or
this realm; wherefore all Of you who
are come this day TO do your homage,
are you willing TO do the same?"
Whereupon the assembled multitude
cry: God save King George!"
The trumpets blare.
The kings head Is anointed with
OLA messy proceeding. but accord
ing to ancient custom-the sceptre IL
placed In his hand. his sword Is
buckled on. and the crown Is placed
on his head.
Again God save the king" shouts
the throng, and when the trumpets
sound a second time from a gallery
the word Is sent by sign from there
TO the general postoffice that the king
has been duly crowned, and the It'd
ings are telegraphed or cabled to
every corner OF the empire.
Next, the archbishop advances and
takes the oath of fealty for the clergy,
kissing the kings left cheek. He Is
followed by the prince OF Wales. who
takes the oath for the royal family,
kissing his father and touching the
crown.
Last come the peers TO take the
oath-the duke OF Norfolk for the
dukes. the earl OF Shrewsbury for the
ears, the marquise OF Winchester for
the marquesses. and so on.
Another blare of trumpets, and the
assemhlage shouts: God save the
king! Long live the king! May tho
king live forever"

is concerned. The ceremony OF
corwning Queen Mary is much
shorter.
AS the crown descends upon the
kings head, the peers may don their
coronets. The peeresses must walt
for the queen to be crowned before
they can put on their coronets, on
which fortunes have been spent and
which have been made specially for
this occasion. Indeed, the duchess
of Westminster. whose husband has
an income OF $l5,000.000, has invested
in a coronet so magnificent and costly
that she has brought down upon her
self the criticism OF the aristocratic
circle, where II Is considered vulgar
ostentation in mere duchess to try
to shine in the presence OF royalty.
There will be about 40 American
peeresses at the coronation, but they
will hardly be noticed In the crush.
There will be the duchess of Rox-
borghe, who was one Of the New York
Goelets; the duchess Of Marlborough.
one OF the Vanderbilts; the duchess
of Manchester, a Zimmerman OF Gin

daughter OF the late ogden Mills;

against the law for the life sentence
passed on his brother, and when only
twenty he joined the band of the cele-
brated brigade Pico, whose place he
filled as chief on Pico's death. His reck.
less daring and chivalry in refusing to
pillage the weak had gained for him
certain popularity among the rude
and scattered population OF his native
province.
Carbone leaves his captivity a white
haired and gentle old man with soft
voice, mild eyes, the opposite In all
respects of what would be expected
from his calling. Interviewed he ask.

that he might not be deprived of his

JUMPED FROM BOAT.
Ellis Tucker browns Himself BY
Jumping Into Chesa-
peake Bay.

Ellis Tucker. Sr.. of Stafford, Hartford
county. drowned himself in the Chesa-
peake Bay by jumping from one of the
Old Bay Line steamers on its way from
Norfolk Wednesday night of last week.,
He brought several bushels of corn
to Havre de Grace from his farm Tuesday
morning and sold them. after which he
boarded the 1912 train for Baltimore.
He sent his team home by colored man
and also note to his wife, in which he
said he was going to Baltimore and she
would hear from him in few days.
The next day letter. was received by
Mrs. Tucker stating that her husband
was going to take boat for Norfolk, but
would never reach there, as he intended
to drown himself in the Chesapeake Bay.
A search was made. and Tucker was
traced to the Norfolk pier by his son-in-
law, Price Hopes. His family believe
that he drowned himself.
Mr.. Tucker was SO years old and owned
and lived on 15o-acre farm. His neigh
bors thought him to be of independent
means, but he is said to have been
heavily involved financially and that
this preyed on his mind.
For some time it was noticed that he
acted peculiarly. He is described as tall
and slightly built, with white beard, and
wearing his working clothes and brown
hat.
A report reached Baltimore Thursday
morning that man was seen to jump
from the steamer Virginia on her way to
Baltimore by Mr.. Philip ]. Trichter. one
of the passengers. The man is said to
have jumped from the steamer about
1890 o'clock Wednesday night when off
the mouth of the W;comico river.
Mr. Trichter reported the occurrence to
Capt. R. H. Smulen and when the
steamer arrived in Baltimore the police
were notified. 1t was reported that none
of the passengers on the steamers list
was missing.
Mr.. fuckers aged wife is desperately
i'll as the result of her husbands action.
He has one daughter, Mrs. Hopes, and a
son, Ellis Tucker, Jr. Another son Alva,
who at one time cIerked for B. P. Nichols
of this town. committed suicide about
twelve years ago by shooting himself.
Mr.. Tucker was an uncle of Eli T.
Reynolds, Of this town, and his son,
Ellis, Jr., frequently visits his relatives
here.

afternoon by northbound express,
Jackson started on his route from Prin-
cipio about $50 o'clock. Several miles
south of Havre de Grace he heard the ex-
press coming, and, as usual, is said to
have stepped from one track to another.
For some reason the train was on track
used generally foi freight trains, and
Jackson stepped. directly in front of it.
Running at a high rate of speed the train
hurled the body rs feet down an embank-
ment. The train was stopped and the
body taken to Havre de Grace. Jackson
had been in the employ of the railroad for
several years. He resided at Blythdale
and leaves wife, but no children.
