BT LADT MARY MAN WARING.
LONlX)N. May 13. (Special to The Bee.)
All Europe is looking forwsrd to the visit
of the emperor and empress of Germany to
London. They will arrive at Flushing from
Wiesbaden Monday and they will cross In
the Imperial yacht Hehensollern to Port
Victoria, where they are to be received on
landing by the duke of Connaught and
Prince Arthur. The emperor and emprea
will be the guests of the king and queen
at Buckingham palace until Friday the lth.
During the visit of the emperor and em
press to London there will be a family
dinner party at Buckingham palace on the
night of their arrival, and a state banquet
on a later date. There will probably be
cither a diplomatic and official reception
or a state concert at the palace on one
night, but there has been some talk of a
state ball on the night of Thursday. May
IS, and if this ceremonial Is decided upon
no reception or state concert will take
place. The emperor and empress are to
dine one night at Clarence house with the
duke and duchess of Connaught. and there
will be a luncheon one day at the German
embassey. The emperor and empress are
to devote the greater part of either Wednes
day the l?th, or Thursday the 18th to visit
ing Windsor caatle and the Frogmore
mausoleum.
After the formal visit to King George V
and Queen Mary on Friday the German
monarchs are to return to the Imperial
yacht to Flushing, whence they will pro
ceed to Cologne for a day before going on
to Potsdam. At Cologue the new Hohen
xollern bridge over the Rhine Is to be
opened, and a statue of the Emperor Fred- j
erlck Is to be unveiled by the emperor. A
state banquet will be given in connection
with these ceremonials, at which many of
the notables of the Rhine provinces are to
pbe present.
Ralere to Ester London June 19.
King George V and Queen Mary, ac
companied by their Immediate auite, will
come to town from Windaor palace to
Poddlngton early Monday morning, June 19,
which will mark their entry Into London
for the coronation ceremonies, which are
to begin with the arrival and reception to
foreign representatives Saturday, June 17.
The king and queen will travel on the royal
train, the engine of which will be especially
decorated.
The arrival of the royal couple will be
made a atately event. Their entry Jnto
Bucklngton palace will be regarded as-the
official beginning of the week of coronation
ceremonies. In the evening a family dinner
party will be given In the palace. The
suites attached to the royal delegates will
assemble In the throne room after dinner
and be presented to the king and queen.
Cost to Se Coronation.
Fabulous prices for coronation places Is
a latter day development, but the Increase
has been going on since the time of Wil
liam tha Conquerer.
From the coronation of William I, at
which no ladies were present, down to that
of Henry HI, a good place could be had
for the smaller of the base copper coins
brought even by the Normans. The pro
cession of Edward I could be viewed In
luxury for half a farthing; but under his
successor the rate was doubled; and the
same price was paid under Edward III.
The aame rate of progress, occurred with
Richard II and Henry IV, and again under
Henry V; and the 3-penny scale was main
tained down to Henry VII. Bluff King
Hal, Edward VI and Queen Mary lived In
an extravagant age, and people who wished
to see them going to their crowning were
compelled to spend a groat; and this sum
sprang up to ( pence for Good Quen Boss.
For the first two Stuarts a shilling was
willingly laid out and for the last two, the
rate was hslf a crown. For William and
Mary, Anne, and George I a crown was
paid; and when George II was crowned
there were lavish patriots who went up to
half a guinea. After that the prices rose
by leaps and bounds. A certsln Sir Kdwari
hired a first floor room to see the proces
slon of George HI for the small price of 100
guineas.
Young; Maybrlek Dead.
The publication of the death notice of
James Chandlea Maybrlek In The Times
reoalla the famoua Maybrlek trial and In
cident thereto, which was one of the most
noted In the history of criminal law. The
notice announced the death as having oc
curred at Rossland, British Columbia, and
gave his sge as !9 years and said he was
the only son of the late James Maybrlek
of Liverpool.
James Maybrlek was the Liverpool cotton
merchant who died of arsenical poisoning
at Battlecrease house, Garston, Liverpool,
on May 11, 18, and whose wife. Mrs. Flor
ence Maybrlek, originally from Mobile,
Ala., was tried and sentenced to death for
poisoning him. As everybody recollects.
Mrs. Maybrlck's death sentence was com
muted to penal servitude for life. In
reuruary. 1904. she was released from
Aylesbury Convict prison and proceeded to
her home In America. Their son, James
Chandler Maybrlek. was born In 1SR3. The
little boy's connection with the case was
curious. Mrs. Maybrlek and her husband
had had frequent quarrels, snd after the
grand national of 1889 Mr. Maybrlek gave
his wife a black eye. She had met in
London a man named Brierley, and it was
alleged by the prosecution that aha gave
ner husband who suffered from liver and
nerve troubles minute doses or arsenic In
order to be able to marry Brierley.

"For lie's a Jolly good Fellow"
"A Jolly Good Fellow," so hi friends call him; but waiting at home
for every "Jolly Good Fellow," there is a sorrowing, despairing wife or n
broken-hearted, weeping mother. Wlio can measure the bitterness of tho;
lonely, weary hours of waiting the anxious listening for the footsteps that
delay so? Perhaps the loot-steps finally heard may be those of a messen
ger, bearing news of some awful crime commited by the "Good Fellow."
"Good Fellow"
Write us for our story, "Jolly
Good Fellow," which was written
by one who was once a "Jolly Good
Fellow." The story, with the ac
companying picture, printed on
plate paper, will be sent you free of
charge, or will be sent to any friend
you name, in plain scaled envelope.
Extract from the booklet: "If
this voice of mine could only reach
around the world and be heard by
every Good Fellow on this earth;
if every Good Fellow could be
brought to a realization of the end
which awaits him; of the unaided
struggle to leave the cursed stuff
alone, of the misery and the black
despair that must be his, of the loss
of those he loves, of the broken
homes, the broken hearts, the broken
vows, 'the broken bodies and the
broken covenants J say if I could
bring these tilings to the realization
of all, I would he, hrppier than any
King that ever sat lipon a throne."
