Oregon. Ill.-When DR.. Harry E.
Webster signed a document which
permitted his second wife, Mrs. Zoe
Varney Webster, to secure a divorce
at once, he greatly injured his own
defense, as the action means that the

husbands trial and testify against
him.
The signing of the document caused
a clash between Attorney f. G. Bey-
ers, for the father. of Mrs. Webster,

counsel for the physician. Callahan
seized the paper and would have torn
it to pieces but for the interference
of Sheriff Delaney.

 Among the vast army of Americans who are to visit London for the corona tion will be many multi-millionaires, some of whom have already secured West End houses or flats in the chief hotels. One liberal peer has refused an American of- fer of s40,O06 for the use of his residence for six weeks. Another American has of- fered $70.000 for the tenancy of a house in Hill street during May, June and July, but the owner refuses to take less than $SC, 900.
 The selection of MT. Hays Hammond as the special representative of the United States at the coronation has given great satisfaction in London. While in London MT. Hammond will stay at 1 Stratton street, the old Piccadilly home of the late Baroness Burdett Coutts, where the pres ent Queen frequently stayed as child, the baroness being personal friend of her mother the late Duchess of Teck.

LONDON SOCIETY LETTER
Destination.
By LADY MARY MAINTAINING

London, April s.-(Special )-London Is now absorbed in the preparations for the coronation festivities, although the crown ing of the King will not be until June 22. Purse strings are being loosened and the scale of the arrangements suggests that money is to be spent in millions by the government and individuals. sThe royal governments expenditures on the coronation ceremonies and festivities will probably reach $1,2SO,0O0, while the expen- ditures from the private estate of King George V will exceed $400,000.
 The population of a great city will be added to London for the coronation period. There will be nearly 100000 visi- tors from the United States, according to an estimate of an official at the American embassy; Australia Is sending 10000 guests. Canada 5000 and the other states of the empire many more thousands.
 The arrangements for accommodating the various royal personages who are coming to London for the coronation are now being considered by the court and foreign office officials. The German Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Denmark and the Grand Duke and Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelit will probably stay at Buckingham palace. The Grand Duke Michael Alexandre- witch, the Duke and Duchess of Sparta, and Prince and Princess Frederick Charles of Hesse are likely to be the guests of Queen Alexandra at Marl- borough House with the Duke and Duch- ess of Connaught. The Archdukes Fran cis Ferdinand and Charles Francis Jo- seph may be lodged at York House, St. James palace. and the representatives of Italy, Spain, Saxony, Wurtemberg, the Netherlands. Roumania and Belgium will stay at private houses, which are to be

It is said MT. Hammond will pay $S332 50 a week for the property.
 Queen Mary has commanded that the bouquet which the Gardeners company are to present at her coronation shall consist of pink carnations.
 Rapid progress is being made with .he alterations in front of Buckingham pal ace. His majesty is restoring to their former place the great central gates which stood in line with the fine entrance to the quadrangle. Experience has shown that for ceremonial purposes the existing gates, which are not immediately in front of the quadrangle entrance, nacesstated an awkward turn when the state coach was being used. That portion Of the railings enclosing the forecourt which faces the central arrhways of the palace has been removed and a road will be laid down which will lead direct to. the Queen Victoria memorial. Gates are to be placed into position there and the royal processions when they are formed as usual in the inner quadrangle will is- sue in a straight line towards the mall only curving round the base of the monu- ment
 The colonies will be represented at the coronation by about 1890 officers and troops-all white-over half of which will come from Canada. They will stay in the country for about three weeks. No

More Widows Than ,Widowers
From the London Chronicle.

The proportion of remarriages shows an almost continuous decrease, says the registrar-general in his report on the births, deaths and marriages in England and Wales during 1900
 The number of widows, he states, is always much greater than that of widow CTS, because in the first place men mar ry later in life than women; secondly be- cause the duration of male life is shorter than that of female life, and thirdly, be- cause the proportion of widows who re- marry is much lower than the proportion of widowers who remarry.
 Marriages of persons described as di- ~orced have steao,ly increased and in the year 1900 were the highest on record
