KING IS CROWNED
PLACED AT LAST ON THE HEAD
OF THE RULER.
EDWARD BEARS UP CRANDLY
After Coronation Experiences but Lit
tle Fatigue—Attends Religious Serv
ices with the Queen—A Grand Gala
Time.
LONDON, Aug. 11.—The king was
trowned at 12 o’clock on Saturday.
The news of the crowning was an
nounced by an official outside the ab
bey. It was repeated by signal
through London and was received with
cheers, which spread throughout the
stands and crowds far up( the street,
as the bells peeled joyfully. The queers
was crowned at 12:56 p. m.
Yesterday (Sunday) the festivities
were continued in London. There
were considerable crowds almost all
day long in the vicinity of Bucking
ham palace and along the route of
yesterday’s procession viejving the dec
orations and watching the flow of no
table personages to and from the vari
ous thanksgiving services.
In the evening the Canadian arch,
which is an exceptional novelty for
Sunday, was brilliantly illuminated
and was a great center of attraction
and served to bring an immense con
course of people into the neighborhood.
In spite of the welcome announcement
made last night that King Edward had
borne the fatigues of coronation day
well, today's bulletin concerning his
health was awaited with a certain de
gree of anxiety. Perhaps this Is the
reason that his majesty's physicians
Issued the. bulletin at tho rather un
usually early hour of 9:30 o’clock. Be
cause of the early hour very few people
were about when It was posted at
the gates of the palace. The bulletin
is as follows:
"His majesty bore the strain of the
coronation ceremony perfectly well
and experienced but little fatigue. The
king had a good night and his condi
tion is in every way satisfactory. No
further bulletin will be Issued.
(Signed) TREVES
LAKING.
After the posting of the bulletin
there was still some doubt as to
whether his majesty would drive out,
but the small crowd that remained at
Buckingham palace hopeful to see the
sovereign, was rewarded by the ap
pearance of the king and queen. They
were accompanied by Princess Vic
toria, Prince Charles of Denmark,
Prince and Princess Henry of Prussia;
and the crown prince of Denmark and
were attended by a large following of
the royal household.
The procession drove along the Mall
and St. James palace without receiv
ing any notable demonstration from
the people. Tickets to the chapel royal
had been sparingly granted. The choir
boys who took part in the service
in the chapel were clad in quaint
gowns of crimson and gold lace. The
service was very simple, special pray
ers for the occasion, however, were
read.
An almost Identical service to the
one held at the chapel royal of St.
James was conducted at Marlborough
house chapel and attended by the
prince of Wales and his family and
other royal personages.
The most Interesting of all the ser
vices was held at St. Paul's. This
was essentially a people's service in
gratitude and thankfulness that the
sovereign had been restored to his
health and it presented a striking con
trast to the sad service of supplica
tion held there in June, on the day
the coronation should have taken
place.

SENATOR M'MILLAN NO MORE.
Michigan Legislator Dies at Summer
Home at Manchester, Mass.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 11.—A dispatch
was received here yesterday announc
ing the death of Senator James McMil
lan of Michigan, at an early hour this
morning, at his summer home at Man
chester-by-the-Sea, Mass. Death was
the result of heart failure, following
congestion, after an illness of a very
few hours.
The news came as a great shock to
his friends here, as when the senator
left Washington shortly after the ad
journment of congress he appeared to
be in good health and looked forward
with much satisfaction to a quiet and
restful summer. For some years Sen
ator McMillan has made his summer
home at Manchester-by-the-Sea, having
erected a very fine cottage at that
place.
While no Information on that point
has been received here, the expectation
is that his remains will be taken to De

family vault at Elmwood cemetery.
The body of his son, Captain John H.
McMillan, who served in the Spanish
war and who died several months ago,
rests there.

* atest Quotations from South Omaha
and Kansas City.
SOUTH OMAHA.
CATTLE—There was onl*r a fair run of
cattle, but for the week to date the sup
ply is considerably in excess of the same
days of last week and also of last year.
Buyers took hold in good shape of all
desirable grades of both killers and feed
ers, so that the general market was about
steady with yesterday. There were only
a few cars of cornfed steers on sale, and
the same us has been the case of late,
they were shortfed cattle and nothing
strictly choice was offered. The cow
market was also about the same as it
Tyas yesterday. Supplies were not exces
sive and anything at all desirable met
with ready sale at steadv prices. The
common stuff, such as sells below $3.00
was about steady. The demand for the
better grades of stockers and feeders
was active and the market could be
quoted steady. While good, heavy cat
tle and prime yearlings are In active de
mand the common and thin stuff is neg
lected, and if anything wras a little lower
today. There were not very many range,
beef steers of good quality, but the mar
ket held just about steady all around
and was fairly active. Cows and feeders
also sold at good, steady prices where
the quality was satisfactory, but common
stuff was neglected.
HOGS—There was a small run of hogs.
On the start the market was a dime,
lower than yesterday, but later in the
morning it become evident that there
were not enough hogs to fill packers’ or
ders, so that in spite of the fact that
Chicago was quoted 10# 15c lower, this
market firmed up and closed active, with
half of the loss regained. The bulk of
all the sales went from $7.25 to $7.30, and
as high as $7.40 -was paid.

CABLE WILL NOT BE CUT.
United States Decides to Take a Hand
in the Haytien Trouble.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—The Uni
ted States and Haytien Telegraph and
Cable company has appealed to the
state and navy departments here to
prevent the cutting of its cable at Cape
Haytien.

the Haytien gunboat Create-a-Pierrot,
which is under the command of Ad
miral Killick, who has allied him
self with the revolutionary govern
ment under General Firmin and who

Britain, However, Not in Position to
Make Announcement to Public.
LONDON, Aug. 9.—As indicated in
these dispatches, the announcement
made in Belfast that an agreement
had been reached between the admir
alty and the Morgan shipping com
bine was premature.
Negotiations on details of the agree
ment are still proceeding, and, it is
believed, with every promise of suc
cess. In the house of commons this
afternoon the premier, A. J. Balfour,
said the government had been engaged
in negotiations connected with the for
mation of the shipping combine. “Un
fortunately we are not yet in a posi
tion to make a statement to the pub
lic,” said Mr. Balfour.
"The accident to the colonial sec
retary, Mr. Chamberlain, has caused
some delay, but I am confident that
when the house meets again we shall
be in a position to take it into our
confidence.”
Keep It in the Family.
LONDON, Aug. 9.—Official announce
ment was made today that Austen
Chamberlain, son of the colonial sec
retary, has been appointed postmaster
general, vice the marquis of London
derry, resigned. The appointment of
Sir William Hood Waldron, to be
chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster
in place of Lord James of Hereford,
resigned because of ill health, also was
officially announced yesterday.
How Napoleon Studied Law.
Among the Napoleon Stories recent
ly circulated is one which may be
apocryphal, but is surely instructive.

emperor how he acquired his remark
able knowledge of the civil law. He
replied that when a lieutenant he had
been unjustly placed under arrest for
ten days, and In the room where he
was confined he found a digest of the
Homan law. He spent his time ab
sorbing the contents, and when he
regained his liberty his head was
stored with useful knowledge in that
line.
Englishwomen as Sailors.
Titled Englishwomen are fast devel
oping a love for the sea and its pur
suits that must make their brothers,
fathers and husbands a little careful of
their own prowess in that respect.
Yachting is beginning to be quite the
thing among Englishwomen, and the
marchioness of Londonderry is said to
take the lead among her associates as
a sailor. The marchioness has direct
ed the sailing of several races at
Cowes and is looked upon as an ex
perienced yachtswoman.
Only the brave can stand their own
company.

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.
Not infrequently a young woman
finds it necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency;
when the laundryman or the home ser
vant cannot do It. Hence these direc
tions for ironing the waist: To iron,
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new it is needful to hav»
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to ba
laid away two or three hours. When
Ironing have a bowl of water and a.
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always Iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
Ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.
Patriotism is packed tightly in the
firecrackers.
