THE CORONATION.
King Edward and Queen Alexan-
dra Crowned at Westminister.-
London Aug. 9. Edward VII
R. I. by the grace of God" of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland and the British dom-
inions beyond the sea King
Defender of the Faith and Emper-
or of India was today crowned
without hitch or harm and tonight
London is noisily celebrating the
event for which the world has wait-
ed as perhaps it never waited for
any other coronation.
In all respects tho celeljjration
was impressive and was 'carried
out with a perfection of detail and
lack of accident that has rarely
characterized similar displays. That
pride of empire which marked
Queen Victoria's jubilee was lack-
ing and in its stead thererevaded
in all classes keen recollectuthat
only six weeks ago their Kingay
in danger of death and this today
produced thankful lness and genuine
sympathy for the man rather than
adulation of the King. This feel-
ing was voiced by the Archbishop
of Canterbury when he inserted in
one of the coronation prayer- the
words "for whose recovery w n w
give Thee heartfelt thanks.'' V
this did not prevent the public
from voicing appreciation of such
military display as the short pro-
cession gave them a chance to see.
In Westminister Abbey the scene
was nothing less than marvelous.
Nearly 7.000 members of the
"nobilitv t'He' cftTrfry-arfft thegentr
had gathered with foreign Princes
Ambassadors colonial ruif In-
dian p-tjatat.. and leaders from
the furthest quarters of the globe
where the Union Jack flies to do
honor to the King.
No stage effect could have equal-
ed the climax that ensued the
moment the crown was placed
upon King Edward's head the sud-
den illumination by hundreds of
electric lights making the thousands
of priceless jewels including tho.-e
in the crown itself to sparkle with
dazzling brillancy. The instan-
taneous movement of the p 'cresses
the placing of the coronets tho
chorus "God Save the King" with
its unharmonious yet genuim
refrain from thousands of throats
constituted such an outburst of
pent-up thankfulness and rejoic-
ing as even Westminister Abbey
with ail its historic- traditions
never before witr.es--. -d.
TWO MEWABI.K INCIDENTS.
Tw. mckW''s in the- service in
the abbev vd live in the memr
the aboey vjhl
of all who wi
first of thec w
itnessed them. The:
hich almost d'veli-:
inters
frentered a
dra m at ie eon t ret cm p -.
around the aged hi-hop ;
Canterbury. From the commence-
ment of the service the archbishop
had the greatest difficulty in read- j
ing or remembering the prayers j
The book from wluch his almost
blind eyes endeavored to read shook
in his hands and when he came to
place the crown upon King
Edward's head lus huge frame
towering above the seated king
swayed so violently that the bishop
of Winchester had to support him
while the dean of Westminister put
a guarding hand under the crown.
It Avas evident that the archbishop
of Canterbury could not see the
king's head .and after groping
around he was just-about to com-
plete that part of the ceremony
when it was discovered that he
had the crown with the back to the
front. Slowly lie raised it but too
late to prevent the choir from pre-
maturely bursting out with a loud
"God Save the . King." Amid a
tension that had grown to pitch
of painful nervousness the arch-
bishop finally managed to place
the crown upon the king's head.
A few minutes later came the
climax of his feebleness. He was
kneeling to do the first homage of
all the subjects of the king when
suddenly he almost fainted and
would have fallen upon his sov-
erign's knees had not King Edward
tenderly biit firmly grasped both
the prelate's hands and lifted him
to his feet. The bishops of London
Winchester and Durham clasped
their arms around the archbishop
of Canterbury the king kissed his
wrinkled hand the archbishop's
head fell back his feet moved slow-
ly and mechanical iy and thus he
was more carried than led from the
throne.
The tremor which this event
caused had scarcely subsided when
another exquisitely human touch
varied the proceedings and the king
was forgotten in the father- In-
stead of merely accepting the hom-
.ig of the prince of Wales. King
Eav.ard put his arms around the
prince and kissed him and then re-
called him and. wrung his hand
wUh a manliness of parental affec-
tuli that brought tears to .many
er. lo tliosj who were able to
e clearlv the.-e two episode5 the
nagnificence of the bejeweled wo
men the splendor of -tho iratfarrned
ni3n and even the historic grand-
eur of the . coronation itself ank
almost into secondary interest.

Xo matter how seedy or how dis-
reputable in appearance he mav be
no tramp is ever denied a sq'uare
meal at the home of Mrs. (ieoro-e
W. Hopper in Uniovillle (). or at
her summer cottage. Drift wood-on-the-lake.
Tramps know this but
they do not know that the gratitude
of the family goes with every hand-
out to an unknown tramp who laid
the foundations of the Hopper for-
tune. Years ago Geo. W. Hopper now
deceased was an employe of the
Standard Oil Co. He was em 1. . veil
in the department in which the
barrels were painted before being
filled. Though the barrels were
thoroughly painted outside the
coal oil always soaked through the
wood causing the paint to pel off
and the barrels to k-ak. One day
a tramp whom Hopper had foil
was hanging around the paint sh d.
He heard Hopper say that he
wi.-hed he knew how to paint barrel-
n) that the oil v.ould not come
out. The tramp told him to fill
th'- barrel- with water and then
paint them. When the paint was
dry pour out the water and fill them
with oil. Hopper tried the ex-
periment and it worked successful-
The royalties and the advance-
ment obtained by Hopper through
:his bit of advice brought him
wealth in a few years. Though the
method ' has been given up long
ago Hopper owed his start to that
one thing alone.
When Hopper died two years ago
he left a fortune estimated at from
$2000000 to $3000000. He had
tried to find the unknown man who
had proved his benefactor and he
declared that could he find hini the
tramp should be made a rich man.
But he never found the hobo. Hop-
per rpally exchanged a dinner for a
fortune.
