CORONATION WEEK London Is Full of Visitors Some Titled and Many Without Titles. ROYALTY ON DRESS PARADE Incidents of the Coronation of King Edward Give Londoners a Very Busy Week — Imposing Ceremonies Arranged for Thursday's Great Event. London. June 24. —King Edward and Queen Alexandra gave a grand dinner party last night at Buckingham palace to seventy royal personages, who practically represented the sovereigns of all the monarchies of the world. The list of their majesties’ guests was headed by the czarowitch of Russia, who arrived in London last evening, and included an imposing array of princes and princesses and all the members of the British royal family. Buckingham palace was beautifully decorated and the bands of the grenadier and the Cold Stream guards discoursed throughout the evening. The dinner was followed by a brilliant reception. which was attended by the members of the suites of all the foreign potentates now in London. Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial secretary, and Mrs. Chamberlain (who ■was Miss Mary Endicott of Massachusetts) received the colonial premiers and other distinguished visitors from Great Britain's colonies at their Ixmdon residence. A full and strictly private rehearsal of the coronation ceremonials to be held in Westminster AbDey took place there yesterday afternoon, at which everybody with the exception of the royal personages and the participants in the musical and religious features of the functions, rehearsed their respective duties. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Rev. Frederick Temple, and the lord chancellor. the Earl of Halsbury. were among those who were drilled in their parts under the superintendency of the Duke of Norfolk, the earl marshal. The rehearsal lasted for two hours and after it was over the musical service for the coronation was rehearsed in full in the church house adjoining the abbey. The crowds w ere so great last night in Trafalgar Square and in the various thoroughfares leading from this point that the omnibuses found it almost impossible to proceed. The congested condition of traffic above ground was practically repeated in the various underground routes, and the travel resources of the two-penny tube and the steam underground lines were heavilytaxed. Passengers on these lines had to wait long before they were able to board the overcrowded trains. Mr. and Mrs. Bradley Martin entertained Whit-law Reid, the special ambassador of the Tnited States to the ' coronation, and Mrs. Reid and a bril- : liant company of about fifty persons ' at dinner last night 1 Court In Mourning.

APFZCTING CEREMONY Filipino Memorial Conveyed By Senor Buencamlno to Mrs. McKinley. Canton, 0.. June 24. —Mrs. McKinley yesterday afternoon received from Felipe Buencamino, a former member of Aguinaldo's cabinet and now a leader of the federal party in the Philippines the greetings and memorial of that party which he was commissioned to personally carry to her. He came from Washington accompanied by Frank L. Jeani of the war department serving him as interpreter. They were received by Mrs. McKinley and later entertained by former Secretary of State Judge Day, with whom they visited West Lawn cemetery and afterward dined at his home. The Filipino was affected by his meeting w-ith Mrs. McKinley, whom he afterward described as a fine model for "Dolorosa," and tears streamed down his cheeks as he addressed her. The address contained reference to the distress which the federal party of the Philippine Islands felt at the assassination of President McKinley. It stated that he was the protector of the Filipinos and that the federal partv was honored in being allowed to tell the widow of the deceased president of its esteem for him. Mrs. McKinley was assured of the love of 6,000,000 Filipino Christians. At the cemetery the visitors were admitted to the vault in which rest the remains of the late president and General Buencamino. as he silentlylooked upon the casket, again wept. STUPENDOUS AGGREGATION “Big Four" Packers Are On the Point of Combining. Chicago, June 21. —A New Jersey corporation, rivaling the United States Steel corporation in magnitude is projected. It plans to be a billion dollar concern. It may be called the American Meat company. It is announced that a gigantic consolidation has been decided upon. The packing houses that have agreed to form the big combine are what is known as "The Big Four," and are Armour & Co.. Swift & Co., Nelson Morris & Co., and the G. H. Hammond company. Other concerns may be admitted. Even without additions the combination of the capital of the four firms will make a stupendous centralization of wealth. A KING'S DEATH Albert of Saxony Succumbs to Long Illness. Dresden. Saxony. June 20 —At 8:05 o’clock last evening King Albert died. The king's long illness had prepared the court and the people for this announcement. which is nevertheless received with great sorrow throughout the kingdom, in every portion of which the good king was greatly beloved. MILNER INSTALLED Governor ot Transvaal Formally Inducted Into Office. Pretoria. June 23.—Lord Milner, who was British high commissioner in South Africa, took the oath as governor of the Transvaal here yesterday in the presence of a large assemblage of people. He was heartily cheered by those present and a salute in his honor was fired from the fort. Evidence of Acquittal. Washington. June 20. —General J. K. Smith, who recently was courtmartialed in Manila, has been instructed to proceed to San Francisco and there await further orders. Just before he was ordered to trial. General Smith had been ordered to the United States to take command of the vacant department of Texas. The execution of that order was suspended, and still is. pending the proceedings of the courtmartial, but there remains no reason for his detention in the Philippines. Although not officially admitted, the fact that General Smith has been called home is accepted in military circles generally as practical confirmation of the press dispatches from Manila that he was acquitted. Crowding ihe President. Washington. June 21.—The work of demolishing the interior of the White House has progressed so rapidly that the president finds himself cramped for space, rendering it difficult to transact the business of his office. Owing to this condition of affairs he yesterday determined that hereafter he would be unable to receive any callers except senators and members, government officials and those having only the most urgent business.

THE EGYPTIAN LOTUS. If Grows Perfectly When Planted In Rich Mud. Egyptian lotus roots may be obtained from any florist. The seed will readily germinate if a hole is filed or drilled through the hard shell that moisture may penetrate the kernel, otherwise they will lie dormant almost indefinitely. It is perfectly hardy and comes to perfection when planted in shallow water with rich mud and full exposure to the sun—simply naturalized in the same environments that suit our native water lily. Artificial ponds or cement basins are often made for the accommodation of this and other water lilies. Such tanks should be two or three feet deep and of any size and outline desired. Twelve by twenty feet is a nice size for the amateur. It is best to plant the lilies in boxes, say three feet square and one foot deep, filled with good rich soil and sunk in the tank. The lotus submits gracefully to cultivation in tubs. Ordinary half barrels will do for tubs. Fill them two-thirds full of rich garden soil, in which plant the roots (I prefer roots to seed); then fill tubs full of water and set in a warm, sunny place. In winter remove the tubs with their contents to a cellar. A beautiful aquatic garden may be had by arranging several tubs of lotus and nympaea into a mound or circle and filling tbe spaces between them with ferns, arrowheads and other moisture loving plants.—Home and Flowers. How Tropical Fruits Are Protected. It may have struck you that most tropical fruits have thick or hard or nauseous rinds, which need to be torn off before the monkeys or birds for whose use they are intended can get at them and eat them. Our northern strawberries, raspberries, currants and Whortleberries, developed with a single eye to the pretty robins and finches of temperate climes, can be popped into the mouth whole and eaten «s they stand. They are meant for small birds to devour and to disperse the tiny undigested, nutlike seeds in return for tbe bribe ot tbe soft puip that surrounds them. But it is quite otherwise with oranges, shaddocks, bananas, plantains, mangoes and pineapples. Those great tropical fruits can only be eaten properly after stripping off tbe hard and often acrid rind that guards and preserves them. They lay themselves out for dispersion by monkeys, toucans and other relatively large and powerful fruit eaters, and the rind is put there as a barrier against small thieves who would rob the sweet pulp, but be absolutely incapable of carrying away and dispersing the large and richly stored seeds it covers.—Cornhill Magazine. Dr. JohiiM'.n'H Marvelous Memory. Dr. Johnson, the Ursa Major of English literature, had a prodigious memory and at one period of his life employed it in reporting parliamentary debates. Once Dr. Hawkesworth read to him a poem which he Intended to publish and asked his opinion of it. "Why, sir,” said Johnson, "I cannot well determine on a first hearing. Read it again.” Hawkesworth complied. The next morning, tbe subject of the poem being resumed, Johnson said he had but one objection to it, that he doubted its originality, and to prove his statement repeated the whole poem, with the exception ot a tew lines, which so alarmed Hawkesworth that he declared he would never again read anything of his composing to Johnson, who, he said, had a memory which would convict any author of plagiarism. Anxious English Mother*. In England it is a weighty matter when there are several daughters in the family and no man in sight to marry them except the curate. The romantic reserve with which we Americans approach the subject of settling our spinster relatives is about on a par in their eyes with the way Mrs. Trollope says we used to put pantalettes on the piano legs. Over there they neither put pantalettes on the piano legs nor pantalettes on their feverish ambition to marry tbe dear girls well, if possible, but anyway to marry them. The Rubber Plant In 1735. The first accurate information regarding the wonderful rubber plant was furnished by La Condamine. a French scientist who was sent in 1735 by the government of France to measure an arc of the meridian near Quito. This brought him to the heart of the rubber growing country, and much valuable information was thus obtained. Advantaaes ot Matrimony.

She—After all, what is the difference between illusion and delusion? He—lllusion is the lovely fancies we have about ourselves, and delusion is the foolish fancies other people have about themselves.—Life. We tbould manage our fortune like our constitution—enjoy it when good, have patience when bad and never apply violent remedies but in cases of necessity.

Ths Island Park Assembly. There is no place in the northwest more widely known for its pleasant surroundings, its delightful springs, its health-giving atmosphere, and all that enters into the make-up of a perfect summer home, and unsurpas sed location for the distinguished and popular, as well as the oldest, assembly of the west than is Island park, Rome City. Even at this early date of the out ing season, Quite a number of the city folk in its widely patronized territory have turned the key upon the milk man, the baker and the meat trust trouble-maker, and opened up thecottage home at the resort getting ready to receive the larger delegations who are planning to come in a little later on -especially during the session of the assembly, which opens July 23, and closes August 14. Tbe larger part of the 250 cottages on the assembly grounds and around the lake, that did not receive the decorations of a coat of paint, or other marked improvement last year, are in the hands of the decorator at this time, while upwards of twenty-five tasty summer homes have been constructed. or are in process of construction, since the assembly dates of 1901. It is fairly estimated that $30,000 will be expended in cottage im provements before the assembly opens. The Knepp sanitarium, under its new management, has buildings now under way that will cost not less than 820.000 when completed, while the grounds are being greatly improved. A beautiful location has lieen donated to the Bay View Reading clubs of the territory, on the main land, and plans will be pushed to erect thereon a large and commodious club home, on the plan of the W. C. T. U. home, erected last year. The new launch has arrived, and has already been christened "The City of Rome.” She will carry nearly as many passengers as the old steamers, and will do away with the perplexities of smoke, smudge and cinders. The old boats will be remodeled and join the fleet as freight and general necessity liners. A number of new naphtha and gasoline private launches will also ply the waters of beautiful Sylvan, while the already large fleet of row and fishing boats will be increased. That things are coming to pass around the park grounds, it is only necessary to add that the freight business of the road has doubled itself, almost, over the same dates last year. The hotels, restaurant and boarding houses are lieing put in excellent shape, and it is hoped to be able to make it even more pleasant than ever, at the same verv reasonable cost, at Island park and Rome City. THE ASSEMBLY SESSION AND PROGRAM. While the patrons of Island park have enjoyed all the good things possible to be offered from an assembly program in the past, it is plain to be seen that those who attend this year will be especially favored. The school privileges will be stronger than ever, and be emphasized in the work commencing with the opening day. Entertainment, it is true, has been made a prominent feature of the every and special day work, but especial care has lieen taken in the make-up of the Island park program -not so much to put before the people‘crowd-getters,” because of some peculiar attractive feature of “foreign distinction,” title, or ability, to say things in an odd way, but to bring to them the bes servants in pure doctrine, high morals, cultured helpers along all lines. While every day is a great day, there will lie a number of special days when low rate excursions will be run on the Grand Rapids & Indiana and its contiguous lines. Already eight have been booked, and othe rs are planning. The special days most prominent will be Hobson day, and the Pythian rally, July 24. This will present a strong program aside from the address of Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson, the hero of the “Bottling of Cervera's Fleet.” A grand band concert will be given during the day, in which the noted Second Regiment, U. R. K. of P. band, of Otsego, Mich., the Garrett band and orchestra, of Muncie, Ind., and other bands accompanying the excursions of the day, will participate. An unexcelled program by Mr. Virgil Alonzo Pinkley. the musicians of the assembly, and an evening in Spanish-American war motion pictures will be given. Royal Repartee. It is related that once, when the Earl of Lauderdale was at dinner with King Charles, ho remarked to the king, “There is a good saying that fools make feasts and wise men eat them.” ‘There is another as good,” replied the Earl of Shaftesbury; “wits make jests and fools repeat them.” And the king advised Lauderdale to make sure of his man in future. Iriah In the Rahanitii. The Irish language is spoken In the Bahamas among the mixed descendants of the Hibernian patriots banished long ago by Cromwell to the West Indies. One can occasionally hear negro sailors In tbe east end of London who cannot apeak a word of English talking Irish to the old Irish apple women who gather around the docks.—London The Philanthropist. Georgia—Paw, wot is a philanthropist? Father—An easy mark, my son.— Ohio State Journal. It Is remarkable how rich a girl’s father always becomes in the dispatches right after she has eloped or gone on the etape.—Detroit Free Press.

Permit us to call the attention of our readers to the important fact that there are three essential steps in the successful treatment of disease. First, a correct diagnosis; second, the selection of the proper remedies in their best possible 1 form, and third, a thorough knowledge of knowing how to prepare these remedies and their physiological effects upon the human body, in order to effect a cure. In the three above named facts Dr. D. W. Tucker has no equal in the state of Indiana. He has treated many thousands of cases within the last thirty years. If one-fourth of the people that are now in the cemetery had consulted and been treated by some good Specialist instead of their family doctor, they would have lived twenty years longer. Only a Specialist' who thoroughly understands Chronic Diseases, can treat them successfully. Dr. Tucker is without doubt the ablest Specialist in this state, and has treated and cured more Chronic and Private Diseases than all the other Specialists in this state combined. A doctor that has restored thousands to health, and can pro-
