MRS. HAMMOND
At CORONATION
A DESCRIPTION OF GEORGEOUS
GOWNS AND RICH JEWELS
THAT WILL RIVAL THOSE OF
EUROPEAN ROYALTY.

The social prominence of America
at the ceremonies of the English coro
nation will be a matter of congratu'
lation to the patriotic pride of the
nation. For the first time in history
the United States is to have a spec.
ial ambassador to represent the ma
ton officially. Mr.. Whitelaw Reid
our present ambassador at the coro.
nation of King Edward, but owing
to the kings unfortunate illness and
the consequent postponed ceremony.
Mr.. Reid was Obliged to return to
America just a week before the
event. Since King George is said to
enjoy excellent health. a postponed
ceremony is not to be expected in the
coming instance.
Never in the history of the world
have such elaborate preparations
been made for a coronation. Mr..
John Hays Hammond, who has been
appointed by President Taft as
special ambassador to King Georges
coronation, is fully qualified for the
duties of his position. The fact that
Mrs. Hammond has had experience
with the court functions of the var
ious European nations will be inval-
liable to her in her position as en-
bassadress. This will be the third
British court which Mrs. Hammond
has attended. Her presence at King
Edwards coronation has given her a
full comprehension of the various
ceremonies, and she has spared her.
self no pains in preparing for the
c~reditable fulfillment of her new
duties.
SO far as possible Mrs. Hammond
has confined herself to American
products in the selection of her
wardrobe and jewels, which will
rival those of any other woman in
London, both in beauty and elegance.
Il was obliged to order my court
gown from Paris she explained,
because a court train Is an unknown
article in America. Only an exper-
fenced court dressmaker, who under
stands the ceremony, can put on the
little contrivances so necessary to
the adjustment of the train. AL
though | am an American, | have to
follow the court regulation in my
dress. My train must lie four yards
and a half in length upon the floor.
1t is really nearly seven yards in its
full length, as 1t hangs from the
shoulders. The management of this
heavy train is rather a tax, but the
skilled court dressmaker arranges
hooks and supports so that the
weight is divided as much as possible
as the wearer passes through the
room leading to the royal presence.
At the last entrance the full length
of the train is spread out and the
weight at first seems to pull so much
that you almost lean backwards.
This, however. is only a passing SEN
sation. which you ignore as you make
your deep curtsy. bending your knee
almost to the floor in recognition OF
each royal person to be greeted.
when | was presented first to
Queen Victoria there were five royal
ties present. among them the Dow
ager Queen Alexandria, King Ed
ward. VII, George, ", and Queen
Mary, who was then the duchess of
York. | had been very carefully
coached for this presentation by my
friend, the late Baroness Burdett-
Coutts. whose home we are to occupy
while in London. | think Americans
make a mistake in being presented

from death when he accidentally came In
contact with an uncovered live wire.
Russell, who was working at the top of
the pole among maze of wires, In an I'M
guarded moment rested his arm and hand

badly that he almost fell from the pole.
The deadly fluid luckily only burned the
arm and hand of RUSSELL Almost uncon-

another lineman employed by the Bell
Telephone Company, who was standing
on the other side Of High street, heard the
cries Of the unfortunate man and realizing
that something had happened ran across
the street and, having his spurs on, climb
ed up the pole. When he saw the con-
dition of Russell, he tied rope around

dealers in Philadelphia, has purchased a
plot of ground 80 K $50 feet, from War
dell Harker along the tracks of the Penn
berton & Hightstown Railroad at New
Egypt and will begin the erection of a

The business men have decided to ad-
vertise New Egypt again this summer In

the boarding houses and the business men
will; and the amount suggested is $500 or

To Run bx Electricity.

The eiectrifcation of the whole Pennsyl-
vania railroad system in New Jersey is
part of the plans of this great corporation,
and it will be effected within five years.
The company is now electrifying the sub
urban lines and has already made the
change from Harrisburg to the terminal
in Manhattan. The work now to be under
taken is the electrifying Of suburban lines
running into Philadelphia.
The Pennsylvania now operates cars
between Camden and Atlantic City by
electricity, and the same system will be
introduced on the lines running into
Broad street station, Philadelphia, which
is to be greatly enlarged. The suburban
identification will probably be extended
to Trenton and as far as Wilmington, DEL,
in the South.
When this change is made the coal
burning locomotive will disappear from
the Pennsylvania railroad In New Jersey
and with 1t will go other old and familiar
features of the old steam railroad. The
power to propel the cars will be obtained
from power stations. There will be nc
smoke stacks to belch smoke and sparks
upon the air and there will be vastly more
cleanliness for the traveller

rania and Delaware automobiles from

vania and Delaware automobiles from
bringing their machines into this state un-
less they take out full years license as
is required Of New Jersey automobilists
This means a revocation of the privilege
which automobilists of Pennsylvania and
Delaware have enjoyed In common with
the automobiles of other states. of COM
ing into New Jersey with their machines
for period of eight days upon getting
registered and paying nominal fee of 81.
The reason given by Mr.. Smith for his
action is that Pennsylvania and Delaware
do not extend any courtesies to New Jersey
automobiles. This action is expected to
seriously interfere with Pennsylyanians,
particularly Philadelphians, coming into
New Jersey for short stay at the various
seaside resorts.

CHEsrNur STREEr THEArRE.

AdEo1NO1 O1R6EI 1AEAIkE.
At the Chestnut Street Theatre next
week the management will present the
Orpheum Players in one of last season &
most important dramatic productions, q
four-act play from the pen OF that master
full modern English dramstist, Alfred
Sutro, entitled, 1.-The Builder of Bridges, u
which, although a society drama of pres
ent day life, is by tar the most finished
product of this brilliant playwright's pen.
Being absolutely original In plot, highly
dramatic In action, that will prove as sur
prising In effect as 1t is unique IN concep-
ton and artistic In execution. The play
tells an intensely interesting story of a
sisters self-sacrificing love for wayward
brother. whose youth and inexperience
have involved him in very maelstrom Of
financial difficulties and impending dis.
aster.
In her desperation she turns to the
builder of bridges, who alone can save the
youthful brother. In the bridging of the
chasm which threatens to engulf the youth
In spite of the self sacrificing sister. love Is
born greater, grander love for the mas
terful man who builds not only massive
bridges of stone and steel, but also bridges
whose foundations are embodied In the
hearts and minds of mankind. The sister
too, becomes a master builder of bridges
In her effort to rebuild the bridges she has
burned behind her In her frantic battle to
save a brother from the inevitable results
of his youthful indiscretions. and In that
building she all but wrecks the future
happiness of the man whose heart she In
advertently wins, as we'll as her own repu-
tation. From time immemorial the sacri-
fee man will make for woman and the
privations a woman will endure for a
man have been the themes that have kept
poets In bread and butter. In latter years
they have been the means of supplying
royalties to playwrights. Alfred Sutro
has utilized one of them in his play, 1.-THE
Builder of Bridges"
The play is written with the distinction
that marks all Sutro's work, and is enter
tanning and appealing. The great good
hero has an ideal part for that superb
method and finish of which he Is the past
master. The supporting cast is also ad-
mirable and as vitality important In pro-
noting its success. There will be the
usual popular prices, and the daily
win be given.
