dered a royal salute and musicians
blared the national anthem, King

tered state carriages and drove
through the ancient MOgUl capital
To the American visitor, the process
sion of Indian princes was the most
imposing part of the affair, the Won
derful colors, jewels and gold embroid-
cry providing g1ittering spectacle.
From the natives, however, their well
come was that accorded by down
trodden people to their masters.
Much as George and Mary desired
to impress the natives. they barred
elephants from the parade, fearing a
stampede.
Another feature of the procession
intended to impress the populace was
the opening of the "Shai Darwaza,"
or kings gate. in the old days used
only by Mogul emperors. At the spot
where the British garrison made its
last stand in 1857 against the rebel
army addresses of welcome were de-
livered by the governors and other
representatives of British OfficialdOm
The procession then made it's way to

Finding Marriages Too Costly, Sharp
Starts Suit Against Second Wife.

Pittsburg, Kan, Dec. 8. - Peter
Sharp. the only man in the United
States who has two legal wives, an
nounced that the two wives were too
costly and that he had instituted di
vorce proceedings against Mrs. Sam
antha Sharp, wife No. 2.
Ann Catherine, wife No. 1, married
Sharp nearly a score of years ago and
disappeared a few years ago. Sharp
thought she was dead and married Sa-
mantha. Only a few months after the
wedding, Ann Catherine reappeared
and swore out a bigamy warrant. The
county attorney, however, refused
prosecution, declaring Sharp had
abundant reason to believe his first
wife dead. Thereupon Sharp built
two small houses, one on each side of
his own and identical in every respect,
in which he quartered his two wives.
