London, June 22. Countless thou
sands of loyal British subjects and dis
tinguished representatives of every
nation in tho world participated in
and millions on millions of people wit
nessed tho grand celebration of the
00th anniversary of the coronation of
Queen Victoriaycsterday. Not a serious
mishap occurred throughout the day,
and the venerable ruler of tho great
British nation passed through tho or
deal of the day without tho slightest
bad effect.
Tho queen breakfasted at nine o'clock
in Buckingham palace and informed
her physician that she was not fa
tigued by the previous day's ceremo
nies. At 11:10 a. in. she slowly de
scendet1 the stairs, assisted by a scarlet-clad
and whitc-turbaned Indian at
tendant. She was dressed in black,
wore a black bonnet with white and
carried a white sunshade At tho foot
of the stairway her majesty paused for
a minute and touched an electric but
ton connected with all the telegraphic
systems throughout the British em
pire, uud it Unshed around the world
the message: "From my heart, I thank
my beloved people. May God blesa
them."
When tho first partof the sovereign's
escort rode into view the Second Life
guards the whisper ran electrically:
"She's coming." The guards wero
soon succeeded by the escort of British
and foreign princes. Many faces wero
known, recognized and cheered. This
brilliant escort was composed of tho
flower of Europe's thrones. A cheer
broke forth that seemed to shako the
ground, renewed again and again, as
her majesty's carriage approached.
This was drawn by the famous eight
Hanoverian horses, cream colored,
with long tails, white eyes and
pink noses, their manes richly
woven with ribbons of royal blue,
with new state harness, saddle cloths
of royal blue velvet with rich fringes
of bullion, the leather work red mo
rocco above and blue morocco beneath,
glittering everywhere with royal arms.
The liveries of the postillions were in
keeping with the harness, and cost 000
each. For once since the prince con
sort's death the queen permitted tho
mourning band to be removed from
the men's arms.
At Temple Bar, the boundary of tho
ancient city of London, the queen was
met by the lord mayor and city ofllcials
on horseback, while the judges of the
courts and queen's counsels in full
.court regalia, and ladies formed tho
background. Lord Mayor Faudcl
Phillips wore the earl's robe to which
lord mayors uro entitled when crowned
heads visit the city a cloak of ruby
silk velvet lined with white silk and
edged witli ermine. Sheriffs Ritchie
and Rogers wore the sheriff's vel
vet court dress, scarlet gowns and
chains.
On the arrival of the queen the lord
mayor uncovered. Approaching the
carriage of her majesty his lordship,
with all due obeisance, presented tho
hilt of the citv's nearl sword, whioh
! was undrawn. This was the ccremonv
of dutiful submission. The queen qui
etly touched it, thus returning It to
the lord mayor in token that his sub
mission was graciously accepted by
his sovereign. Her majesty then com
manded the lord mayor and sheriffs to
proceed and the procession moved to
ward St Paul's amid cheers that
seemed, In the narrow streets, to be
echoed and re-echoed.
The great bells of St. Paul's broke
out in a chorus as the queen's carriage
started from Temple Bar, and only
ceased as her majesty's carriage halted
opposite the platform on which await
ing her were the archbishop of Canter
bury, the lord bishop of London, tho
bishops of Marlborough and Stapney,
and the clergy of St. Paul's. In tho
surrounding dignitaries were leading
representatives of all tho faiths of
England. Tho ecclesiastics, who had
issued from tho great -west door as
the queen approached, standing beside
tho improvised altar, now began tho
simple service. A Tc Deum by Dr. Mar
tin, organist of St. Paul's, composed
for tho occasion, was first sung. As
tho sonorous "Amen" died away the
voices of the cathedral clergy were
heard chanting: "O, Lord Save tho
Queen," to which the great choir, in a
volume of harmonious sound, respond
ed: "And mercifully hear us when wo
call upon Thee." Tho bishop of Lon
don, in full canonicals, then read a short
collect, after which, as her majesty sat
with bowed head, tho archbishop of
Canterbury announced the benedic
tion. Then, amidst the furtlu ring
ing of bells, tho national anthem was
sung, and the queen drove on into other
scenes. As her majesty entered tho
gates of Buckingham palace on her re
turn, at two o'clock, a distant gun in
Hyde park announced to so much of
the world ns was not before the gates
that the great procession was over.
The events long prepared had passed
into history.

ture "Do you remember," asked the own
er of a largo country place, "a man in
one of Stockton's stories whoso great
ambition was to own a dictionary'
Well, I have just that fellow In my
employ now. My gardener might have
furnished the original, in that respect,
at least, for the character tho writer
was describing. I always noticed
Michael's passion for long words, but.
it was by accident that ho revealed to
me 0110 day how much he would like
to have a dictionary of his own, in.
which lie might hunt up his beloved,
polysyllables. 1 gave him one, and.
after that his conversation was more-,
resplendent than ever. Ho was 110U
always quite sure of his ground but he
invariably succeeded in producing an.
impressive result. On one occasion,
remember, my next neighbor hadi
quietly appropriated several bushels-,
of my early bough appleB, which grew
unfortunately near to tho boundary
line between tho two places. It was
not a matter worth making much fuss
about, yet I should have liked to stop
it, and in talking it over with MichucL
I said, half to him and half to myself::
'I wonder what would be the best,
thing to do?'
'"Well, sir,' said he, 'this is what E
think. You'll just do nothing what
ever at present; you'll wait till them
late russet apples of his is ripe andl
then you'll gather a heap of them somen
night and r-r-retaliato tho compli
ment!' "Michael always had a grudge
against this particular neighbor, any
way, and held his gardening ideas hu
special contempt. So one day when L
chanced to be the first to discover that.
Mr. had cut down one of his raosb
beautiful hedges to make room for
something else, 1 hastened to tell.
Michael and get his opinion upon the?
desecration. He had a deep, genuine
affection for all growing things aniU
his eyes glowed wratlifully when hei
heard of the murdered laurel bushes,,
even though they were outside of his
own domain.
" 'What do you think of the perform
ance?' I asked.
"'Mr. ,' replied the old fellowv
speaking slowly and emphasizing cvery
word, 'the man that would do thatr.
ought to be'excoramunlcated from the-
church and denied Christian burialF
Coming from a good Catholic likes
Michael I think this will stand as o;.
