STATE OF TRADE IN QUINCY.
Granite Manufacturers Are Said to Be
Fairly Busy at Present.

Condition OF the granite industry IN
Quincy is described IS follows in. the
Quincy correspondence CT Granite, Mar
BILE and Bronze" at hand to-day:
Considering the season Of the year,
the Quincy granite manufacturers are
fairly busy, although not 50 much 80 as
many bad hoped they would be. Practi-
cally all of the firms have cleaned mp
their late Eau orders and are now sc
work on monuments for early spring
delivery. There Is quite grist nf orders
in the city for spriug and summer, bit
rs a rule they run to the medium size
although there are Of course some Jobs
that might be eiassed as among the large
work. All the firms arc working full
time and but few Of them have found
it necessary to lay of any nieu. IL
takes considerable capital to Keep
large gang Of men at work III w;nter,
as in most cases monuments are not
paid for until delivered AMI set and
often then payment is made by n note
which must be discounted For this fra
son the manufacturer as r rule has TO
60 down deep into the pocket TO meet
his pay rolls during the winter months"
The Situation in Milford, N. II.
From the Milford, n T., correspond.
ent comes the followings
"The Granite Manufacturers assoeia-
tion now comprises an the manufactrr-
crs in the city, and has leased The second
floor of the Wadiey block, and has FUR
nished the rooms with taste. The meet.
ing room is furnished throughout with
mission furniture, and the reading rooms
are fitted for comfort and convenience.
and along with very fine library gives
one the impression that the Milford
manufacturers are up-to-date in every
respect The business OF the past year
was very good, and the shipments were
far heavier than that Of the previous
year The quariies seemed to be able
TO keep mp with the demand A number
Of the manufacturers increased their
shed room, and some have added new
machinery. which is a sure sign OF pros
perity. The number of orders booked
for spring looks very encouraging and
all join in predicting big year.

George WAS Accepted as Ruler
Of India Today
AMID MOST SPLENDID P0MP
! For Richness of Color and Msgnihcence
Of Decorations, the Scene at Delhi
Has Probably Never Been Sur
passed in Modern Times.

Delhi, India, Dec. liking George
V. and his consort, Queen Mary were
| to-day proclaimed emperor and empress
of India. The eliminating act of the
English monarch's accession to the
throne of his vast Indian domains took
place amid scene which for richness
of color and magnifcence Of decorations,
has probably never been surpassed in
modern times.
The crowning was followed by an act
of generosity OF the king-emperor's part.
The viceroy proclaimed that the king
emperor would donate a large sum to
promote popular education and that fur
thcr handsome gifts will be made.
The huge amphithestre, which had
been erected in the durbar camp, was
thronged. Bright tissues and sparkling
gems of many Indian princes and the
smart uniforms of the soldiery contrast
ed strongly with the white dresses of
the European ladies and the sober garb
of the civilian officials. The great feuda
tory princes and rulers of India, with
the leading British officials, occupied
seats of honor near the pavilion which
was located in the centre.
Delhi Made Capital Of Country.
Following the reading Of the proelama-
tion announcing the coronation, the ma
tioual anthem was played and l0l guns
doomed the tidings. The emperor arose,
lowing to all sides. As he sat down
three cheers burst from over 100000
throats.
Lord Hardings then announced that
the king is to devote more than 81 ,000,-
OO0 to promote education in India An
other important change announced was
that the seat Of government in the fu-
tHrc is to be transferred from Calcutta
to Delhi. The greatest of durbars ever
held in India then came to an end with
the national anthem and final burst
from silver trumphets. The durbar far
outshone that OF 1908, when King Ed
ward was proclaimed emperor Of India.
In the durbar Of 1908, the emperor
and empress were represented by the
Duke and Duchess of Connaught. About
one hundred ruling chiefs were in at
tendance and this year the personal at
tendance of the king emperor and queen
empress had attracted vast coneourse
gathered from every quarter of India.
The durbar camp was vast canvas
city, covering about 25 square miles 1t
was lighted by electricity, served by
perfect water supply and provided
with excellent roads and special rail
way station.

The committee on convention, ar
ranged as agreed to last night with
Colonel Harry S. New of Indiana as
chairman, was approved to-day, but not
without a final protest from those who
opposed the plan.
Friction at the Start.
The most sensational feature Of the
first days skirmishing was the fact that
Secretary Hilles, who is the active leader
OF the Taft forces in the campaign for
the denomination of the president, and
Postmaster General Hitchcock, who man
aged the presidents campaign three
years ago, seemingly were arrayed
against. each other. The rumors thar
the two were working at cross purposes
flew thick and fast through the hotel
corridors. Finally Mr.. Hitchcock issued
a statement in denial but it did not en-
tirely set the reports at rest His state
ment follows;
Statements which would indicate that
there is friction between Mr.. Hilles and
myself are absolutely unfounded. My
resignation as chairman of the national
committee was rendered in good faith
on the day that ] was confirmed az post
general, and from that time 10
this have refrained from participating
in the affairs of the committee. | have
all can do at present to look after the
business of my department, and do not
wish to be drawn into any controversy
respecting national politics"

thirsty stranger in Sussex county must
complain of violent pains in his stom-
ach and declare that he is mighty
sick before he can purchase any ia
maica ginger from drug stores or gro

Frank NJ. Jones of Georgetown, as
the United States put no revenue tax
