LONG LIVE GEORGE V.
When the wailing brasses blared out that solemn dirge, Chopin's "Funeral March," in the heart of London as Edward's lamented corse was borne through the malls en route for the tomb, there were many who said that proud England's decadence was soon to come. The gloomy croakers who wring joy from living pessismism, predicted the fall of the empire. The glittering spectacle seen in London today gives the lie to the malprediction. No more magnificent pageant did the world ever see. England's oversea possessions were represented by glittering cohorts of stalwarts who came across the earth to pay vassalage to King George V. The sun never dawned on a more powerful monarchy than England today, and the reign of the latest scion of the Guelpbian dynasty to fill a throne promises most auspiciously.

PROGRESS IS IMMUTABLE. Farmers in the neighborhood of Highlands, in meeting assembled the other nigh entered strenuous objections to the broadening and boulevardizing of Ridge road after a feminine land-owner had offered to contribute a healthy-looking slice of territory to do her share towards beautifying the road. ' "We don't want any boulevard," said one prominent farmer, "for the automobiles only cut it up." This is certainly a sample of very inconsistent argument. The auto
mobile is the result of progress. Thousands of fanners find them a practical necessity and a source of pleasure. The day will come when the farmer who hasn't an auto will be like the farmer of yesterday who cut his grain with a sickle or scythe. It is useless for any one to stand in the way of progress. Because some hoggish autoista have offended the farmers is no sign that the roads should be permitted to be full of bumps and ruts and wide enough only for the passage of a farmer's big wagon.

FIVE DOLLARS FOR SCRATCHING. With other old settlers of Gary who long have been the victims of bites on the part of the ubiquitous sand flea we will admit that despite the bothering of the little pest that the aftermath the scratching is an elusive joy in itself and well worth the bite. Who after being bitten around the ankle has not gloated with joy at the satisfaction that the scratching produces? But the smart young women who teach in Gary's portable schools can't see it that way. For a while it looked as if next September would see no teachers in the 6and dune portables. However, there will be no dearth now. An omniscent school board is to pay these who are to teach in the portables an extra five dollars per month. What with the pleasure that comes from scratching and the receipt of an extra five dollars this represents our idea of affluence.

ANY SQUAWS HEREABOUTS? The following editorial appeared in the Alanby (N. Y.) Times-Union
and is worth reading a couple of times or so by every married man In Lake county and elsewhere where these words may be seen. Not necessarily
that they would make him wince, but, rather because, "Lest we forget." A large man and a little woman got on a street car. The man boarded it first, the woman afterward. The woman was frail and wan. In her arms she struggled with a harden a chubby, hearty Infant. ,The man was prosperous looking, sleek, full faced. His burden was a two-inch cigar stub which he held between two fingers. The car was crowded. The woman clutched with one hand to a swinging strap and still held the child. The man walked through the car to the front -platform and proceeded to enjoy his burden the cigar. The child was the man's child the woman's burden. The woman was the man's squaw. Once she had been his sweetheart Still later she became his wife. Still later she passed j through the process of evolution into a squaw. During the time when the woman was the man's sweetheart, there were no burdens for her to carry- At that time the big sleek man was willing to play dog, roll over, jump through, and sit up and beg for one sweet glance from her girlish eyes. Let her get on a street car after him then? Oh, no! He'd help her on and blush with emotion at the touch of her soft white hand. Let her carry a bundle then? His greatest wish was for just a change to carry her. And then for a brief time, she became his wife. And he was her slave. What followed came in the usual event of things. Those girlish eyes soon ceased to be. girlish. Why? They were worn in peering over the needle and the holes in the man's hose. Th,ose soft white hands soon ceased to thrill at the touch. Why?

Jonathan Phelps, of Noblesville, one of the pioneer residents of Hamilton County, was burled yesterday, and while his widow was assisting her children to arrange for the funeral services she received a telegram from Whittier, Cal., announcing the death of her brother, Taylor Mendenhall, formerly of Noblesville, who dropped dead on his farm of heart trouble.
When the family returned to the home after the funeral, another telegram came from Portland, Ore., saying that Milton Phelps, brother of the late Jonathan Phelps, was critically 1U and would live only a few hours. To add to the already heavy bereavement of the family comes the announcement from Indianapolis of the death of Albert W. Denny. Mrs. Denny is tho daughter of Milton Phelps of Portland, Ore. and a niece of Jonathan Phelps, whose funeral occurred yesterday. FIGHT OVER FENCE POST SITE. When Samuel Rich of Anderson undertook to dig a post hole on the line between his property and that of Mrs. Josephine Riggs, of Anderson, there was a dispute as to whether Rich was over the line. He went ahead with his hole digging but Mrs. Riggs soon appeared with a shovel and shoveled dirt back into the hole as rapidly as Rich dug It out. Finally they attacked each other and neighbors Interfered. Each paid a fine for assault and battery. Tha post hole has not been completed. TAKES PET DOG TO JAIL.

Ings and facings of the galleries were
in excellent taste, while that wonderful royal blue Axminster carpet, with Its woven designs of the rose, shamrock and thistle, deserved all the praise It
has received as a thing of beauty. A
peculiarly beautiful effect was present
ed by the King's and Queen's boxes, comprising half a dozen rows of chairs In white satin, relieved only by the
crimson of the seats. To the dazzling scene of lights and glitter and brilliant color the old gray arches of the
Abbey lent their stately perspective. THE DISPLAY OF JEWELS.
What inevitably caught the eye in
on straight.
QUEENS DRESS MAGNIFICENT The Queens dress was magnificent.
It was of cloth of gold, veiled with
tvory white" tulle, and the train was of
cardinal velvet, eighteen foet long nad
lined throughout with minlyer. The robes proper were finished in demltraln style and opened In front In cutaway efect to show the mass of duchess
lace. The edges were scalloped atnd -faced with ermine and outlined a pattern of leaves embroidered in gold. The velvet sleeves were double puffs
unuder narrow bands of ermine . The
train was bordered all around with an

with the magnlcent robes and beauty
of many of their wearers made a sight
never to be forgotten. The Duchess of
Portland was conspicuous In her great
coronet of diamonds, in the center 01
which was the famous Portland stone.
Fortunes were represented In the bronze diamonds worn by the Duchess of Bedford, In the rubles that adorned the Marchioness of Bute and in the

The whole train was surrounded by a very rich golden border divided into three parts, between the first part of which and the ermine
border was a strip of the velvet show-

Duchess of Sutherland. The Americans contributed not a little to the gorgeous spectacle by their beauty and magnifi
cence of their, robes and Jewels. The Duchess of Roxburghe (who was Miss Goelct of New York) was a centre of attraction. Lady Dufferin (who was Miss Davis of New York) was another American who did honor to the occasion by her rich dress and magnificent Jewels. Other American women who
viewed the coronation ceremonies from the boxes allotted to the nobility were the Duchess of Manchester, the Countess of Oxford, the Countess of Essex, the Countess of Suffolk, the Countess of Craven, Lady Decles, Lacly Newborough. Lady Pagot. Lady Cheylesmore and Lady Maidstone. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL ENVOYS. The galleries of the nave wore filled with foreign envoys from all parts of the world, while the choir was similarly set aside for the members of the embassies and the Colonial premiers. John Hays Hammond, the official representative of the United States, occupied a seat next to Sir Wilfrid Laurier The Colonial premiers in addition to Sir Wilfrid Included General Botha of the South African Union, Sir Joseph Ward of New Zealand, Hon. John Murray of Victoria. Hon. J. McGowan of New South Wales. Hon. Frank Wilson of Western Australia, and Sir Elliott Lewis of Tasmania. . Ontario, New Brunswick, Manitoba Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and Nova Scotia were each represented by their premiers or other high executive officials. All of the Crown Colonies also had representatives present. POMP OF THE ENTIIUONIZATION. The service in the Abbey commenced with the reconsecration of the regalia. The procession of the clergy with the regalia then proceeded from the altar to the annex, all present standing up and the choir singing a hymn. The Archbishop of Canterbury took his seat in front of the coronation chair, and Lord Loreburh, the Lord High Chancellor, seated himself by his side. Several minutes later the King and .about the throne. Preceding their Ma-
gold. The costume was ornamented with other elaborate gold embroideries, and the tulle overdress was embroidered with roses, thistles and shamrocks. It finished In a high transparent collor of old lace, edged with gold. The effect of the embroidery was heightened by the alternate use of glittering and dull gold. The whole effect was one of dazzling splendor, and It may truthfully be said that no child's dream of a royal robe was ever more worthy of a queen. CORONATION MUSIC BEAUTIFUL. To many of the thousands of persons who filled Westminster Abbey the musical program was one of the most interesting . and pleasing features of the entire service. The music was furnished by Sir Frederick Bridge's mighty choir of Westminster Abbey, which was augmented for the occasion by 400 voices from the choirs of St. Paul's cathedral and the Chapels Royal of St. James and Savoy. Among the soloist choristers were some of England's greatest singers, accompanied by orchestra and organ. The musical service opened with the processional anthem, "I Was Glad," by Sir Hubert Parry. In the middle of this anthem the boys of Westminster school exercised their ancient privilege of shouting "Vlvat Rex!" "Vivat Reglna!" The anthem sung was Handel's "Zadok the Priest," which Is one of the four anthems composed by Handel for the coronation of George II and Queen Caroline, and has been performed since then at each coronation. The anthem rendered at that point in the creemonies where homage was paid to the sovereigns was "Rejoice In the Lord," which was specially composed for th" service by Sir Frederick Bridge. During the oblations a new offertorlum was sung, which was specially sung by Edward Elgar. During the vecess, when their majesties retire to Henry VII chapel to disrobe, a grand festival Te Deum was sung, composed by Sir Hubert Parry. At the conclusion Sir John Stainer's sevenfold "Amen" was sung, and at the end of the service the threefold "Amen," by Orlando Gibbons, who was organist of Westminster .Abbey In 1625-
