10 111 UP I IIS A3IISING MANNER IW WHICH THE WHOLESALE CAPTURE OF Filipinos BEGAN ,;::.» A " ' ' REVENGE OF ONE CAPTAIN Eftvjiix-cl Dcntlt by Hang-ing-, and Guiding,- Americana to Camp He Surprised His For mer Comrades. Tlit cm! of the insurrection is in sight, It is boped, .and the view is pleasanter than any yet had in these parts. The Fourth infantry has been working harder than ever these hist few months an.l wit.i< at a grumble, because results ha^e been apparent. The culmination of Us labors seems to have arrived In the sur render a few days ago of Lieut. Ger. Trias with more than thirty of his of ficers anil £00 rifles, while more are com ing in daily. There arc- some parties out here, the Federal j arty an.l the Conservative par ty especially, and they are striving to secure peace, so they f?ay. Bat more strife than peace has resulted from their labor.-:. Not armi d strife, but recrimina tions and struggles to obtain credit for every success. One of the general of ficers uttered an epigram that expresses the situation, writes the Manila corre spond nt of the Chicago Daily News. Apropos of the surrender of these prin cipal insurgents somebody said to him: "The Federal party seems to be doing good work." And he replied: "Federal party! The Fourth infantry! The Fourth infantry has not .let them sleep two nights in the same place. That is what has done it." IVITE SEES THE FINISH. Cavlte province was the birthplace, his been the hotbed and now is the death scene of the Insurrection. Since Jan 1 the Fourth has secured nearly 1,003 ri fles, ope lieutenant general, two briga dier generals and colonels, lieutenant colonels and majors. Some have sur rendered with thrir tongjes almost hang ing out from their long sprints, more have been captured nv.A all seem relieved to get a chance to rest and breathe. For a long time, and, indeed, almost to the end of December, nothing of im portance could be clone, as we ha'! no secret service men and could not identily Insurgents when we had captured them. But ono day in the last of December an excited individual rustled into Imus and, showing raw. abraded marks on his nesk, told Capt. Duncan that he was an insur gent captain anJ that his superior officers had ordered him hanged that day; the rope broke and he had managed to es cape. He sail all he wanted was re venge an.l he would guide us and iden tify all bis lato companions. He was thoroug-hly in earnest. GATHER IN ABOUT 800. Orders were telegraphed and by various ways troops went during the night anl purrounded four barr'os of Imus, sout'n of the town proper, and at daylight al the men were- gathered in. about WO of them. Our "captain" w;ip true to hi; word and his actions furolshel the finest entertainment in these islands. He started from Imus at 3 «'ol< ck in th^ morning with th cc officers ami a dozen soldiers and they went rapidly southward Into the barrio of An -bo Budenly he darted into a house, a light was struck and he rushed across the room over some sleeping figures on the floor and jumped with his fe t m one of them. The man tried to .trot up and afto* a few vigorous k cks he was assisted to his feet only to 1 c promptly knocked down by the "cai t ln's" fist. Fin^ll^' the "captain" got his victim ortel c thj hoiise and after a few more vicious? strokes he stood the dumfoundoJ creature up against the hou?e and, taking his hat off with a mocking salute, he said in Taealo?: "Gentlemen, this is my major, who tried to kill me yesterday." Immediately the major received another left hook or uppei>cut or something equally effective and was t'irn d over to the soldiers. The- whole affair was cvi?1;- --er than it can be described and the "tap tain" rushed off down the road to secure Bomc other officers. "CAPTAIN" HAS ITXSTERIC3. As he passed a house he would s;y "Two soldiers here" or "On? soldier here" and in less thin half an hour he had a dozen prominent officers and soldiers. Then he s.t down to taunt hi 6 prisoners and rest. Shortly after day* light a detachment from the sou'h came up and brought about 200 prisoners. They were ir. two ianks halted in the road and our "captain," who was all nerves and excitement, looked down the column anl laughed and laughed. One of tht officers introduced him to me and he locked at my collar ornamert and said: "All th? same me, 4th regiment," for the soil id's had got h!s uniform. Then he stepped out and shouted a command in Tagalog. Tmmcdintey th: prisoners faced to the I.ft. He gave another command and. the frovt rank stepped three paces to the front; another and the front rank faced about ;m>l dressed toward his flank, but not prompt ly or carefully enough to suit the captain. for suddenly he sprang dewn the lln} about ten files and struck a man a tre mendous blow in the stomach with Ma cane. It Is unnecessary to acd that the man got Into line promptly. Then the ••captain" walked through and Inspected the ranks, stopping now and then to laugh heartily in some poor devil's face. HAVING FUN WITH THE PRIS ONERS. Soon our interpreter got a notebook an 3 the ••captain" had the prisoners file past him while he separated the goats from the oilier goats. There are no sheep among them. He would allow a man t? get past him and almost cut of reach and then he would catch the fellvw's shirt and laugh and say: "Oh, aoldado miol" (Oh my soldier!) And when ths poor creature turned about the caitan would look ft him fiercely and say: "Who is your captain?" And lnva"aby the victim would salute him. He playe I with them as a cat plays with a move. He introduced us tc his first sergeant, his company cook, company clerk, o de:' ly and other dignitaii s. They were ter rified and for possibly the flrtt fme m their lives they told the truth and ad mitted that they were insurgents and promised to get their rifles. They wore sent one at a time und. r guard and drew out litter from all sorts of.pkices where we never could have found them except by the merest acci dent. We got 112 officers and eoldlei-3 that day and have been getting them ever since. Among th. m we found many who as a price of their liberty vr re anxious to assist us and soon there grew up a good secret servLe corps of mci whom we could at ieast trust to de nounce thrir enemies. We have placed complete confidence In almost none of them but in the majority of cases they [ea & PemW The Original Worcestershire BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. ' «?*'-" /-m /• i.« .

This method has been pursued for near ly three months with excellent rrsilta ard has kept the insurgents so rapidly on the move that their lives have become very burdensome. At the same time wa have caused to be wi 'ely published the offer to receive their surrender with their arms and to permit them to go free If there were no crimes charged against them. Oaths of allegiance have betn in demand and the printing pressfs mujt have been worked to their limit. There have been some amusing scenes and also many that were pathetic. All the insurgents seem to have la sre fam ilies dependent upon them and cf course a poor wife with a lot of little children is a strong petition for the release of almost anybody. One morning I saw a woman come across the parade ground here with a baby in on: arm an 1 or the other shoulder a rifle with which t) purchase her husbands liberty. Ho -.vai released. But we were easily wor o'. and until we had established v temadc method of treating such ap H cations we were overrun with weerin; women and 1 have seen groups of pi :it aninnles that wo; 11 weep loutil\ in chorus. Finally it was found the w .men were even borrowing pickaninnies snd we drew the line on such petitions. The principal people of the towns draw themselves d^ with indignation and .-all we were receiving and giving credit to the statements of irresprnsible ani b-id people. Our reply was that we ba;l been here nearly two >ea s ;nl the principal poople, as they called themselves, hal never aided us at all to get informal n of the insurgents or of tho bad lcm n: and we were ob'.igeci to get lnfc-rma.i>n where we could. They have not yet thought of suitable repartee for thi^ re mark and we are securing moie rifles. MODERNIZATION OF JAPAN. Lar«e Army and Xavy Xecessary to Absorb Her Ex-Warriors. The men who have made Japan— Marquis Ito, Count Okuma, Coun. Jta gaki, and others now dead—were ke<n sighted enough to te? that to preserve the independence and dignity of their country it was necessary to fight the foreigner with his own weapons. They were all men belonging to the heredi ary gentry of Japan, but as it wer.-, to the democracy of ge.itit.ty. None of them belonged to high fan Her, and in t >c old order of things th?!r s. lendid abilities would not h:tve rai-ed them fr( m ob scurity. Their personal ambitions, there fore, coincided exactly With the pol cy they saw was necssary f r their coun try's welfare. Having obtain-u the power hey set to work with m nils enlighten d by fore'em travel and totally emanc>]at(d from old fashioned iaea.--, S'ys the L< ndon .Mail. Almost at a blow, as preparati n for th? grand scheme of mocernizotfqn, th y destroyed the old feudal system and cre ated a new order of society. But th's 're mondous revolution brought with it con sequences which ha\< had a < ast erect on the country's policy. It is not difficult In a more or less absolute country to sweep away an institution by a str>i-e of the pen, but it Is imposs bio to do scr without a Aast soci 1 disturbance. A great military el:"ss—the armed re tainers of the old nobility, men bred only to fighting, disda.nl g 1 bjr, ai d, abovs all. trade—were practically .cast ad.rt without means of livelihood. It was at one time no uncommon thin? to find a messenger "boy" or a jinriksha ?oo'i» whose anop.stur.-5 bad bee t so die'.s fo.- a hundred generations, and who con: ide ed himself vastly higher. e\en in hi t p v erty, than the m llionaire mercha.it whom he served. This class was a great danger ard m barrassment to the refoimed government. Some provision had to be mada for th m, and revolutionary outbreaks hre and there showed it would have to be on a large- scale. A big police force—unneces sarily large to a foreign c c—was formed. The pay was miserable, bit the work was such as n gentleman c ould do The army was ft. g es^vely increased, chieiiy, perhaps, In the iJea th. t th? safety of the country di iranc'ed it, but largely to dispore of the mas es of dis contented ex-warriors. Tie cxi ansio i of the navy further helped to absoro thes; men. ACTIONS SOMETIMES TALK. How a Slure-wd Reporter Learned What Ho Wanted to Know. It is not the least of many interesting phases of Washington experience, to note the dealings of those who have "been in to see the president" with re porters, certainly offer interesting studies in practical psychology. Still there are many reporters and men of affairs who are wonderful adepts in this kind of "mind reading." One journalist who is an expert at this sort of thing, walked a couple of squares with a member of the cabinet trying to elicit an expression of opinion on a cer tain matter of moment. The secretary's j lips were as firmly closed as the shells of a Hingham quohaug at low water, so far as the desired "last word" was con cerned, or even a hint of the situation. He was not so completely self-contained, however, that his actions and manner were inscrutable. The reporter hazarded I a guess founded on his impressions, and wired the result to his paper. The next day th-e secretary met him and said: "How did you get that information, Mr. " "From you, sir," said the secretary. "I never said a word." "That is so." replied the correspondent, "but you acted it." "Well, you were wrong in some things, anyhow. Still, I think I'll have to take a couise of congressional poker-playing, until I can disguise my thoughts.'l "Such people are the easiest of all to read." "And how do you do It?" "Why, you read their hands by revers ing their expression. The man who seems to bet on an ace full probably holds a bob-tail flush, and the disconsolate sur veyor of a probable bob-tail flush Is like ly laying for you with the ace-full, and there you are. There is always some way to figure it out."—Joe Mitchell Chappie in the National Magazine for May. According: to Hoyle. The father of the game of whist, Ed mond Hoyle, lived to be ninety-seven years old, says the New York Press. His treatise on cards has been published in all languages, and probably no work ex cept the Bible has passed tfirough more editions. The original work apeared In London in 1742, and by 1770 it fiad reach ed its fifteenth edition. Then the com mentators, revisers, critics, iconoclasts, pirates and expounders set in, and from that time on down to the present day in numerable "Hoyles" have been Issued We now have the "American Hoyle," the "French Hoyle," the "German Hovle," and so forth. We have Hoyle by Foster and Hoyle by "Trumps." Who is "Trumps?" But, notwithstanding all modern authorities, we continue to play "according to Hoyle." ROYAL NEIGHBORS OP AMERICA.

PAUL GLOB 2, MONDAY, MAY 13, 1901. ■ "m rawr ATTEMPT OF THE PARISIANS TO IMITATE A SACRED ECVG LISH CUSTOM GOUTER. 7 AND PATISSERIE Carious to Mark the Gradual Trau ■ltion From English. Afternoon Tea to the French Fa«hion. ; Paris Cor. London Star. "Nous alloiiH shopper et puls nous feeveo'clockerons vers quatre heures et dcmie." So says the beautiful Parisienne to the mother, cousin or aunt who is up from the country for a few days. And then the two ladies get into the carriage to explore the wonders of the Rue de la Palx, and end with the "feeve o'clock" at Seraphin's, where tea, toast and marvelous cakes aie exchanged for sums beyond all proportion to the size of the repast. Bat, except for the r.ew word in h«r dictionary, France owes little to England in the way of afternoon, tea. Here in Puris, where every one ''dines late," 4 to 5 p. m. has for years been the hour of nondescript refreshment, and bereft of its concomitant Indian tea the "feeve o'clock" is only the old "gouter" masquerading In go ahead circles in a foreign dress. It is curious to mark the gradual transition from English afternoon tea to the gouter—which Larousse, guilty herein of the sole anachronism to be found in his admirable dictionary, describes as "leger repas qu'on fait entre j le diner et le souper." In the triangle ; between the Louvre, the Opera and the i Place de la Concorde are huddled to- j gelher many tea shops. They are things ' of recent growth and wear something of j a suburban air, but at any ra.te they j provide real tea—not the straw and warm water of the cafes—and real bread and butter, and the only objection to them is their terrible abundance of "An- j glaises"—not in the least to be confound ed with Englishwomen, though un- | fortunately they are the only type of our si£ittrs that get into the French illustrated papers. A halfway house between afternoon tea I and the gouter, between England and I France, comes Seraphin's, rightly so called. Here one sees the most beauti fully dressed women In the world re freshing nature after shopping. There is a curious sense of mixture in the air. The meal is called tea, and, indeed, real tea is provided to drink. But there is a FreiKhr.el air ab U- tie whole busi ness; one is not the least deceived us to the history of the would-be English bread and butter; many little sand wlches are eaten which are delicious mouthfuls, but not sandwiches; and though the ladies have learned to hold their cups and balance their food very prettily on the edge of saucers, one doubts if they are altogether enjoying themselves. Besides, they atand about as they eat and drink, which, of course, no English woman, except the pouror out, ever does. If you have the honor or knowing any of Seraphin's clients you will see how much happier they are "ehez elles" drinking tea made with un boiled water, frequently serving coffee alone without the parent alternative, and spreading little iace table napkins on their knees. A further march into French land brings us to the families where Eng land is only known as the birthplace of "Sir Dickens" and the country which was defeated at the battle of Bouvines. Here the hostess herself brings her vis itor a glass of sherry. The glass rests comfortably enough on a Frenchman's knee, but it makes an Englishman tn j tensely wretched. He has not yet j learned to drink in the presence of la dies; he only understands sherry when there is a mahogany table to stretch his legs under; finally, an empty teacup looks all right anywhere about the draw ing room, but an empty wine glass never, not even on the mantelpiece. With pos sibly the addition of the most crumb producing biscuit extant, this glass of sherry forms the "gouter" of high life, and "leger repas" enough it Is, heaven knows, for the child of a race that looks to range among twenty different plates of cake at B o'clock. The young j of a French household take a far more i satisfying meal. See them Tn the ! Tuileries gardens in satherlng autumn, i when the sun lights up the Ing, flat I clouds beyond Passy and the "He .lea ! Cygnes' 1 with red and gold. The "nou | nous" In their long, flowing cloaks and j quilted caps in gaudy streamers call their charges about them. Then bread and chocolate are served out to the big ger children, while the tinier ones, .still in arms, imbibe deeply at nature's fount. All this naturally reminds the Englishman that dejeuner took place a j long while ago. But fortunately it is i never far in Paris to one of those beau ! tiful combination boulangerle-patisseries, ; and here one may take his "gouter" in ; real French middle-life style. The great ; staring window is cut down the center by the door; on the one side are dis played the most wonderful set of cakes that ever fathered indige-tlon, on the other Innumerable "breads," from the stodgy "pain noir" and gritty "pain do menage" to the dainty torpedo-shaped bread of two sous, or the succulent and buttery "croissant." This end of the shop is for cheapness and solidity; in they rush, the customers, one after an other, the "calicot" from the hosier's next door, the lawyer's clerk from the second-floor flat opposite, the '"blanchls seusse" or the little milliner, going hat less on her errands. Each chooses a "croissant" from the window and a stick of chocolate from the glass jar on the shelf, flings down the necessary I coppers, and rushes out, always in a hurry, like the whole of the nation. At the other end proceedings are more leis urely. We choose what we please, and perhaps, we select a tartlet, and then one of the shop girls offers us a plate, knife and spoon. One cuts the tart un with the spoon and puts it in his mouth with the knife. There is a beautiful "patisserie" In a street close by the Odron. Pleasant memories hang about the shop of Satur day rambles in winter time with a strange Bohemian creature who used to maintain that the 1.25 franc meal "prix fixe" in the Palais Royal was the best dinner attainable in the world. One took the "bateau mouche" up stream with the Seine in flood driving round the piers of the bridges, and the eternal fisherman, catching nothing, near the steamer pon toons. At the Jaruin dcs Plantes one threw bread to the bears, which is exact ly like dropping stones down a well', be cause the pleasures of gustation are even less apparent in the countenance of a bear than of an elephant. And then one wandered back through the Quartier Latin to the "patisserie." There the "gateaux mocha"—delicate rings of pastry full of custard just burned to the right extent—and a dream; and the almond paste potatoes prove conclusive ly what a pull art has over nature. The only objection to the "patisserie" Is that one can never remember the names of the cakes he has eaten. But madame at the "caisse" decides. In her well or dered head she keeps various pigeonholes marked with different prices, and to one or other of these, upon swift considera tion of costume, she Instantly assigns her foreign customer. I, for instance, occupy a 65 centime pigeonhole, where 1 meet many friends, but others keep down stairs in the 30 centime compart ment, and one proud fellow, who gets his hat ironed thrice a week, fills a regular "fauteuil d'orchestre" at 1.25 francs! Madame's smile, however, is equally bright for all clients. So the moral is, dress to suit a low bill, and nothing Is pleasanter in all the pleasant Paris day than the "gouter" at a "patis serie." • Crying; Need, Atlanta Constitution. ~ ; "What we needs; in dis country te»» ..' ■■.-"■■->-■' >. • '_■■-■- ■■-■ ■■■.;. .-- .: -Vc>-,^ s >4 day, said the old colored parson, "is mo hell in religion.

"TEAKS, IDLE TEARS," Some Observations by Andrew Lang on Masculine Weeping, The heroes of- Homer, great, strapping fellows, weep on the slightest opportun ity. Menelaus -cries- when he Is" wound etnot badly. .Mr. Kipling, I think, is my authority for ravins that every one cries when he is shot in the hand, says the London Morning Post. The foot seems less apt : when injured to cause tears. I lately "met a very young gen tleman who, after adequately bayoneting a Boer, was himself shot in tine foot. But, from his description of the sensa tion, it was as if somebody had thrown J a stone at him, and he did not weep. At : any emotion Homer's ' men cry, without any of our false modesty. In one place ! a hero is described by the great poet as "weeping like a waterfall," which to us Northern people seems rather absurd. The heroes of the old French epic, "The Song of Roland," cry; the whole army, without exception, .blubber when they think of sweet Francs during a peninsu lar campaign. On the other hand, I do not remember a single instance in which the tough warriors of-the Norse sagas weep. Our early Norman kings, hardbitten men, rolled on the floor and gnawed at straws in stead of crying; they also swore terribly, especially Wil liam Rufus. Now, if you come to think of it, the Romans, and still more the Greeks, appear to have been practically ignorant of profane swearing.. Homer never tells us that "our men swore ter ribly in" Trola. , They could curse, I admit, but to curse was rather an elab orate affair usually resorted to by In jured mothers, not a mere, explosion of irritation. No Homeric hero, however angry, exclaims, "You go to Tartarus." They'had not even a word for our brief popular expression of hostile interest in the future life of an irritating person. Fielding makes the village boys say to Phaethon, the son of the sun: You, the Sun's son, you rascal—you be cl— d! But here the leaned author of "Tom Jones" permits himself to enjoy an anachronism. The inference from these considerations is, that the early Greek warriors cried so mi eh- beca'ase they did not know: how to swear, a prac tice far more military "and marly. Swift tells us that when: all London expect the last day the officers of her majesty, Queen Anne, swoiejeven more than com mon, lest their men should think that any occasion, however serious, couli daunt a gentleman who wore the queen's uniform. The intention, by itself was excellent, but Aohil s and Agame'mion would have sat clown and cried a t! ing detrimental to discipline. / , The next best weepers known to history are the philosophers of the eighteenth century. Their great idea was to return to a state of nature, whi-h was presently done in the savage fer citi of the gior ious revolution. .-. But before blood ' wai shed in rivers the philosophers returned to a state of nature by weeping lik3 waterfalls, Rousseau, especially, outdl3 Job Thotter, Mr. Jingl 's servant in "Pickwick," a gentleman whom thij lackey genius greatly resembled. lous seau tells us that .he used to wa k alon? the road weeping when he thought what a fine old fellow the Earl: Marlschal wai. Even AgamenVnon would not have • c*- el at the reflection that Ne3tcr was a Una old fellow. On the Scottish shooter an.l velvet coat, aa"orn?d> with yellow ! utt r flies, Mr. David Hume d d Jean Jacques also shea the tears- of renslbility • grea,;ly disconcerting .Mr.. Hume. A daisy, a pretty girl, "a ; rd in the branches, a flower by the w.iy,." .were enough to set the lachrymatory glands of the phil osopher at i work. "He- went out on the main and did the briny."

William Allen White, in the St. Louis Mirror. There is a foolish English question or conundrum which runs, "Why is a ! ! mouse when it spine?" There is no answ er to it. It is only a silly combination of words, and in this, same spirit and by the same token one might ask, "Why is Carrie Nation when she smashes?" Why is she? : Heaven knows! . ,- Why does all the- world stop its bus" ness and stand agape while this fat little I old woman who until ten weeks ago had i i lived sixty eminently respectable years j goes about waving her hatchet and talk i ing in loud and excited tones? ' As the world has rolled along any number of ladies and gentlemen have ! risen with axes or adzes or clubs and ! have lammed the daylights out of people i who disagree with them. Saloon smash- ! I ing has been done, ana *.a recent years, by women who have been persecuted by the rum fiend. The matter has caused some neighborhood comment. It has j I even got into the s day's dispatches. But ! the story was unimportant and trivial and "really of :no consequence." But here comes this Kansas woman from Medicine Lodge, Kan., the home of Jerry Simpson, and also of Congressman Chester I. Long, whose speech on the Porto Rican tariff was., used more than any other speech on the subject by the Republican national committee last year —here comes this little old Kansas wom an and throws a rock hard around the world. . Why does it resound? Would it have crushed through the glass doors of the House of Fame if Mrs. Nation had thrown that rock at Springfield, Mo., or Wheeling, W. Va., or Charleston, S. C, or Walla Walla, Wash., or Laramie. "Wyo.. •or Ilion N Y.? "No!" as the Fourth of July orator ■would say, "No, ten thousand times no!" . The rock L that Carrie Nation aimed at the rum fiend's slats rattled around the world like a moon full of meteors falling on a tin roof solely and only because Carrie Nation threw the rock in Kansas. ' Kansas is the tenth muse—the muse of advertising. There have been socialists in America for a century, but until the Kansas Pop ulists appeared the socialists ' were with out force or effect. There have been cyclones in the world since the morning stars sang together, .. but was without distinction of influence. God made grasshoppers before he made . man, but until the grasshopper became hyphen ated with Kansas he was a lowly bug, j less known than the bedbug or the flea. Kansas refuses to . allow • her • wares to become shopworn. She advertises. It is in the blood. When she found she had in Ingalls the best living American styl ist, what did she do? Did she hide him in a ■ college, as Massachusetts would . have done? Did/" she ■ start a magazine with him, jSj as New" '■ York would have done? Did she send him to the court of St. James, as Ohio r. would have done? No, gentle reader. Kansas, found the : best billboard; on earth, and put John J.

Ip Simile Signature I|| | NEW "YORK. 3 EXACT COPY OF WRAPPER, S II Of ill IIS MOST EXPENSIVE OORCtNATION THAT EVER TOOK PLACE WAS THE CZAR'S THAT OF GEORGE IV. A RECORD Compared With the Money Spent on Such Occasions in Ilu.sHln, the Fig-ure, However, Was Small.. Probably the most expensive coronation that ever took place was that of the present Czar of Russia, which was cele brated at Moscow with great splendor in 1896, says London Tit Bits. Upward of j £3,000,000 was expended by the govern ment alone, and fully another million by the public authorities of various Russian towns. The representatives of other powers vied with each other in lavish outlays, and, counting the sums spent by private persons, the coronation of Nich olas 11. cannot have cost much less than £5,000,000. Forty thousand pounds were expended on the Czarina's coronation robe, and the harness for the carriage horses taking part in the procession involved an outlay of £100,000. Lady singers of the rank of prima donna were engaged by the score, no fewer than fifty taking part in the ceremony. What they cost may be gathered from the fee of 3,000 guineas paid to Mme. Sigrid Arnoldson. The coronation of Czar Nicolas I. was also a very expensive affair. The then Duke of Devonshire was the British Rep resentative at the imposing function, ani spent fully £50.000 of his own money in connection with it. The czar's crown is said to be the finest ever worn by a sov ereign. It is in the form of a bishops miter. On its crest is a cross composed of five of the v most beautiful diamonds ever cut, supporting the largest ruby In the world. It is also adorned with many other precious gems including a large number of the handsomest pearls ever seen. Compared with the sums lavished on a Russian coronation, the cost of the cere- ' mony In this country is exceedingly small. The coronation of George IV. ! was the most expensive of any English : monarch, ani this only cost £240 000. Of this sum £24,0^0 was expended on coro- ! nation robes and £34,000 on the crown. The amount was considered enormous, and as the public were excluded from Westminster Abbey during the ceremony ' there was a great deal of criticism and dissatisfaction with th- whole affair. A j large number of pavilions were erected along the line of route of the procession, the price of a single seat ranging from £4 4s to £8 Bs. The cost of the- coronation of George : 111. did not amount to half that of the ' coronation of George IV. But It was a I very impressive ceremony which the j public were not debarred from witnessing —or at least such of them as could afford to pay for seats in the galleries of West minster Abbey. The fr.mt seats w?re let at ten guineas each. Small houses along the route of the procession were let at from £200 to £300. Larger houses clear ed £700, and some even as much as £1,200. William IV. had a pronounced dislike to pomp and pageantry, and on his ac cession expressed a desire that the coro- : nation ceremony should be made as sim- : pie and inexpensive as it could be with j propriety. His wishes were carried out, ■ with the result that the whole cost of coronation amounted to only £30,000. This, of course, involved the sacrifice of some of the function's attractions as a spe-ctacular affair: but the fees charged '• for viewing the procession were, if any thing, higher than any paid before, small | fortunes being made by house owners along the line of route. The coronation of our late beloved sovereign, Queen Victo.ia, was a ; splendid piece of pr.geantry. Its cost was £70,000. The coronation ring had been made for the little finger Instead of the fourtlis as prescribed by the rubric. The archbishop of Canterbury insisted that the directions of the prayer book should be precisely carried out, and the forcing of the ring on tha Queen's finger caused her intense pain. Then the orb which was placed in lie? majesty's hand was so heavy, itliat she could scarcely carry it. Wnat wou'd have happened if she had dropped this symbol no one dared to guess. Tha mishap would doubtir-ss have been re garded as .an ill-omen for her reign. When Lord Roile, an aged poor, be tween eighty and ninety, essayed to j mount the steps to do homage, he fell down. It wa3 a painful moment, for the spectators as well a« for the nobleman, who again attempted to mount tha steps. But, with a aracious courtesy which made a deep impression on all who witnessed it, the queen came for ward, and descended one or two of the steps to meet him, thus averting further mishap. The crown made for Queen Victoria's coronation is the most valuable In the world. It is worth £3;0,000, weighs almost two pounds, and has set in It upwards of 3,000 precious stones, of which num ber 2,500 are diamonds.
